interesting approach to flooding and flood control

S'ok, Insurance'll fix everything. Wonder if the insurance industry invests their profits in projects similar to the above in order to save money in he long run?

So, you're saying those who believe in evolution are dumb, because they call those who don't dumb? Nothing to do with the sheer weight of evidence in their favor, you would call them all dumb simply because they can't be fucked with the PC bullshit and are willing to call others out on their stupid ways? Still sounds awfully ironic given the thread title.

Stupid?

Nope, not what I'm saying... but fair enough, you see irony.

But you and Blue Rider do it in almost every post you make?

What? Show that we might give a shit? Ah well, I'll live with the curse.

Far be it for you to justify why you call others dumb and stupid though...

I hear you about IPENZ though, haven't seen em do fuck all except come to uni and talk a big talk.

If that was your impression of them in uni. I can openly tell you, you don't want them meet them in the street. The big talk continues......and sometimes get in the way of your work.
I am sure there are smart people in IPENZ. But in general it is full of stupid + ego.

I used to meet various elements of IPENZ in my dealings with the power/control industry. Apart from a few good papers. Majority of their stuff was ego chest beating.

You know the saying "Those who cannot do, teach"?
Well those who cannot teach - consult
And those who cannot consult (or are not respected to do so) - sell IPENZ.

I guess high street consumers don't rate a mention as the average wage looks good enough for 99% of people to live on quite comfortably. Can't wait to see the unpopular reforms.

Yeh, it such a one-directional approach, no consulting with the students to see what they thought of courses (post or undergrad), no headhunting of students to match em up to good jobs; that's where the big differences can be made.

Perhaps refrain from being so judgy until you have then...

Or maybe it's not a flood at all, maybe it is a metaphor. I mean geologists are pretty unanimous that no worldwide flood happened; but what would they know, right?

Huge evidences for global floods so metaphor maybe not, And geologist are very aware of major flood evidence in many parts of the globe

Major flood != worldwide flood. Like I said, metaphor.
