    BREAKING: The Keystone pipeline has spilled hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil into North Dakota, leaking roughly 383,000 gallons and impacting an estimated half-acre of wetland.
    And my faith in Engineering falls even further today. How low can it go?

        Are you saying Engineers didn't design and implement that pipeline?

          Meanwhile in Kansas.

          https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/e...236834368.html

          Hey Missouri, Margaret Atwood can’t keep up with you.

          In the totalitarian Gilead of her novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the Commanders would appreciate the ingenuity of creating a whole spreadsheet of women’s menstrual cycles. So as to better protect them, of course.

          As you’ve probably heard, the Missouri state health director, Dr. Randall Williams, testified this week at a hearing on revoking the license of the state’s last Planned Parenthood clinic that his department kept a spreadsheet on the menstrual periods of women who were patients there. This was to help the health department identify those who’d had complicated abortions. Put another way, it was to help them find something, anything, to justify closing the St. Louis facility.

          So in the only state in the country that does not have a statewide opioid prescription database — no way, because that might invade the privacy of patients we’d literally rather allow to die — the health department is tracking who is bleeding again and who is not.

          And in a state where the idea of a gun database is such a threat to the privacy of gun owners that it’s on a Hyperloop to nowhere, bureaucrats are rifling through medical records — and really, is there anything more private? — looking for ammunition against Planned Parenthood. Who says government bureaucracy is impersonal?

                PG&E threw the switch due to a combination of a rainy number of years adding additional growth that can catch on fire, along with a dry summer that makes things catch on fire easily and high winds that makes flames spread easily. It's a natural risky part of the climate here, just like every section of the country has its own risky parts. And despite the brouhaha being raised, the power shutdown has been limited in scope, at least in comparison to the news coverage it has been getting.

                  Well that and PG&E was negligent as hell but the solution to that is the opposite of what the libertarian dumb dumb thinks it is.

                      If it's anything like places I've worked: Engineers designed it. Then to keep expense low, minimal testing (if any) was done, purchasing found the cheapest suppliers they could without questioning why it could be that cheap, a supplier came back and said 'we can't make it to print' but they went with them anyway. Then a bunch of poorly trained people put it together with no work instructions, or if they had instructions, they ignored them, especially any parts about securing fasteners to a specific torque.

                        True. Very true. It's part of what's currently wrong with our government. It's a large part of the anti-regulation crowd.

                            Yep.

                            I work around a lot of engineers in the mechanical field, and am myself in IT. The two biggest things that are cut in any project are testing, and risk management. Although, I'll best the risk management was done on the pipeline and they ultimately decided it was cheaper for them to have the damm thing leak then it was to build it so it didn't leak, or the leak could be minimized.
