I grew up in Nevada. That place near Devil's Hole is an absolute shithole. There is absolutely no redeeming qualities and it's insane some of the population of that town is trying so hard to stay there just in general. It's also a dying population as young people often leave and never come back.
The most astounding thing is that the population doesn't realize that Devil's Hole is by far the most interesting and lucrative thing there, not their fucking retarded cow farming (the agriculture is mostly there to support cows, a.k.a. the most water inefficient farming you can do). The amount of money tourism and scientific study brings in for Devil's Hole is far, far greater than their shitty farming, and if they just leveraged and supported that, they wouldn't be leading such shit lives.

>>5137494
Of course they're stupid retards who act against their financial security: they vote red every election.

>>5137501
ur dumb lol

>>5137501
>Lol Tourism pays even worse than agriculture.
Tourism is literally the most profitable industry in Nevada, in ALL parts of Nevada, not just Las Vegas. Even if tourism for Devil's Hole had a 1% margin, that would be more profitable than their agriculture, because their current cow farming IS NEGATIVE PROFIT EVERY YEAR. It is heavily reliant on government subsidy.
>>5137521 is right. You are absolutely retarded.

>>5137494
Half of all domestic farming is just an elaborate welfare scam with subsidies.

>>5137522
Yeah bro, they're going to a fishing hole. Also, tourism is for poors. Nevada has below average income. Ironically their other two industries are mining and farming. Poor state of poors. Should have lived on the coast.

The income is literally powered by retirees. Government remittance like a 3rd world country.

>>5137532
Yeah if we just had more transgender awareness and DEI programs this problem would already be over.

>>5137522
Ironically that government subsidy is just making up for government theft and USDA autism (yet abattoirs are STILL filthy and staffed by foreigners with a: no skin in the game 2: an acquired tolerance for eating unclean meat) and ergo is zero sum

Broken system. Don’t pretend you can make it better without ending it entirely first and using dictatorial mandate (ideal age for a dictator is 35-50) to rebuild as fast and well as possible.

>>5137501
>Tourism pays even worse than agriculture
Maybe in a place where agriculture is actually viable, not Death Valley where nothing can live. If the retarded farmers had continued draining the groundwater at the rate they were before pupfish became protected then they would have completely depleted it and agriculture would have become entirely impossible in the area. But of course they aren’t intelligent enough to think that far ahead

They ought to gape the Devil's hole so there is more space for pupfish.

you think raising the cost of everything they need to buy to live AND making it impossible for them to continue paying to live where they are is good for their interests?

>>5136886

Not that I have a horse in this race, just want to know: I heard the pupfish are horrible inbred due to isolation, to the point where they're more of a "novelty taxon" than something actually being preserved.
Can somebody a little more invested & knowledgeable in matters concerning Pupfish explain to me why they "shouldn't" be hybridizing them, so they're a little more vigorous/less retarded, and proliferating the novel hybrid in a few more holes? Or am I missing the point/not understanding the assignment?

>>5138016
Hellhole is a weird way to describe places with high property values as a result of their general affluence and desirability. Then again you’re incoherently yammering about dead babies so I guess rational thinking isn’t something I should expect.

>>5138001
There's nothing to rebut. You might as well have said "icebergs are quite hot, actually" for how ridiculous that was. The simple fact is, the American people have universally had more in their wallets under leftist administrations in than they have under right-wing ones.
Short of making drag queen story time mandatory for all children or making my faith illegal, nothing is going to make me choose having less in my pocket to feed my kid with regardless of how much I agree with right-leaning social policies (borders? Absolutely; voter ID? What sort of idiot wants unidentifiable people to vote? Right to firearms? Of course. Etc etc etc) but Republican administrations have always meant less money for social programs, including ones shrewd, middle class parents like me and my wife use to care for their families. So I repeat: ur dumb lol. You fucking retard.

>>5138248

I get that the poors living in welfare states need to invent narratives about how the other half are the real backwards ones, but the stats are what they are. We don’t really mind that you people mooch off us because we believe in social programs to help the poor. It’s just that you insist on being so annoying, ungrateful, and hostile towards the states whose taxes subsidize your communities. Just be thankful and stop making pulling your dead weight harder.

Did some event, perhaps a policy decision by the current ‘administration’ result in the higher activity among the retards with the mines?

>>5138439
>in reality they would rather have martyrs than mutts.
No. The fish are extremely scientifically valuable. Hybridising them would destroy that utility. They live in water hot enough to kill other fish and do so with very little oxygen, leading them to evolve the ability to metabolise anaerobically, which seems to have occurred relatively recently.
That anaerobic metabolism? It produces ethanol as a byproduct, similar to human cancer cells, making them valuable to oncologists and other cellular researchers as well as evolutionary biologists.
Allowing them to breed with some other population would end all of that.

>>5138417
Not quite. Iran was provoked because Israel destroyed the illegal muslim counter-colony (gaza/little jordan) on their own fucking homeland, as a rational response to an attack by terrorists that think putting munitions dumps by their grandmothers grants them immunity (under islamic law, it is meant to). Iran has a vested interest in the eradication of all non-muslim governments in the middle east and wished to use the illegal jordanian counter-colonies and their hezbollah plants in lebanon to weaken israel’s air defense and make way for iran’s proper missiles. Biden, famous for resuming border wall construction to own trump, gave israel everything they wanted during this conflict which provoked iran further. The US was already a combatant just like they are in Ukraine.

Today, they are blaming trump and china is pushing the gaza “genocide” narrative because it distracts from their own ongoing ACTUAL muslim genocide in xinjiang. Do not fall for this narrative. Palestinians have not been genocided - they don’t actually exist. The 30-40% of Israel that is nonJewish is the palestinians. Their population has only grown since the 50s! Xinjiang on the other hand is an actual genocide site where people are being relocated, reeducated, and forced to renounce their culture race mix.

Literally anyone pushing “palestinian” (but countercolonist, not the actual palestinians that live in israel) victimhood and trump bad is distracting from an actual genocide somewhere else.
See: The DSA.
>justice for the palestinian genocide!
>yes europeans deserve to go extinct get over it. your grandkids are gonna be brown and muslim.

Dear everyone; There is a cost to fighting to preserve the existence of our only real military ally and preventing the demographic replacement of our people. Get over it.
>bbbut epstein had sex with a 17.9 year old
Israel’s age of consent is 14. Within the average range of all of europe and ahead of mexico (13) and the rest of the middle east (9 if married). They are also breeding above replacement. Be happy for them. Israeli’s are literally /pol/ 4channers incarnate.

>>5138457
Have they tested other pupfish for this ability?

>want to learn about a fish I've never heard of

I fucking hate this website, why the hell do I keep coming here?

>>5138464
It's obvious the other pupfish species wouldn't have very similar abilities because their environments are vastly different. But yes, other pupfish have been studied extensively, as many, if not most, are endangered but far more easily accessible while at the same time also having very uncommon characteristics, such as the san Salvador pupfish, which evolve orders of magnitude faster than other fish and evolved into three very different pupfish while being in small habitats (one eats algae, another shellfish, the third scales of other fish).
I very much doubt the devil's pupfish could interbreed with anything else anyway. The mere fact that most pupfish are in salty or brackish water just undercuts this.

But if you did, tech billionaires would import a bazillion indians, pay them 20% less than american STEM grads expect, import a bazillion illegal south americans to maintain a broken farming business model that needs its own sky high property taxes subsidized out, and rub those GDP and jobs numbers in your face while pretending the vast ghettos dont exist because they average out nicely.

Blue states pay welfare into the red states after fucking them over by diluting the labor supply and outsourcing everything. Republicans and democrats are both anti-american communists. Welfare for thee, profits for me.

we spend 2.2 trillion dollars between social security, medicare, and health services, thats 40% of the entire spending; health services alone is already 665 billion, thats more than the national defense budget, by 50 billion dollars. military spending hasnt really increased that much year after, its less than inflation, but healthcare spending has ballooned by 10-20% year after year for the past 10 years. military spending is a small fry compared to healthcare spending now.
so unless you want to kill all the hippes, promote nuclear power to remove much of the dependence on foreign oil wells, because you still need oil for vehicle operation, and abandon europe, you dont get to complain about foreign wars over oil because everybody needs it; and europe doesnt do jackshit to defend itself and doesnt have the decency to pay a tithe for all the military bases, and has the gall to berate america for not helping fight off russia because they wont, because they buy all their oil and gas from russia because they shutdown all their nuclear plants.

>>5140986
It's a limestone cave with highly alkaline water at 33-34C year-round in a nutrient-poor environment (their food source is a specific algae that grows on one shelf and the microfauna that spawn there) with very little water movement.
