Las Vegas, a city synonymous with opulence, faces a stark challenge, adapting to a future
with significantly less water.
With 90% of its water supply coming from the increasingly strained Colorado River, Las
Vegas embarked on stringent water conservation measures early on, contrasting with other
southwest cities.
These measures include limiting pool sizes, banning certain cooling systems, and incentivizing
turf removal, leading to a 31% reduction in river water use despite a population increase.
The urgency for conservation is heightened by record lows in major reservoirs and federal
warnings of necessary cutbacks.
Las Vegas' approach serves as a model for other cities navigating the balance between
growth and sustainability in an era of diminishing water resources.

Just please stop talking about this s***.
This is the last time I'm ever going to state my opinion.
Bitcoin itself is a hyped up fraud.
It's a pet rock.
You're back to that?
Yeah, of course.
Really?
Yeah.
It has all the characteristics of a store of value.
It's immutable, it's scarce.
Totally untrue.
21 million.
Oh yeah, really?
How do you know it's going to stop at 21 million?
Because it's Satoshi.
Everyone says that.
Well, maybe it's going to get to 21 million and Satoshi's picture is going to come up
and laugh at you all.
Bitcoin itself is a hyped up fraud.
