I'm not saying one instead of the other, I'm saying both.
That's not how I took it. It seemed like you meant for the U.S. to stop speaking English and to speak Spanish instead.
If that was the case, then we would be switching to something that is NON-majority. With the metric system, we would be switching to something that IS majority.

@dustinb3403 Not being walled off YET anyways. He's going for the small project before he goes with the big one on this one.
In this presidencies mind, it is already walled off.
I'm surprised he hasn't came out with a plan to make the Texas Mexico Canal a thing and forgo the Panama Canal.
(Which I had the idea for a long time ago as there is no way a wall would stop what he is thinking it'll stop).
IE: Planes fly over walls!
But the Rio Grande doesn't go all the way to the Pacific. Somewhere between Laredo and the Big Ben area, the river flows north. The rest was just negotiated between the US and Mexico. If there was a way of canalling all of the way through, that would have been easier to pass than a wall. He could have showed so much cost savings in getting ships to pass through instead of just being an isolationist.

My idea is about literally cutting Mexico and the United states at the border, put in a massive canal and make all of that sweet transport profit screwing the Panamanians (since we gave them the Panama Canal a short while ago).

Would have to have some kind of treaty with Mexico with some revenue going to both countries for that to happen, but it could.

Not if we just cut off the lower 100 miles of Texas to do it. (sorry people that live in both Mexico and Texas), you're now Mexican.

I really didn't like them anyways.

Call it the US Texan Canal.
Ships coming from northern Europe currently have to go all the way down to Panama to get to China / Japan etc.
If we did this (like 2000 miles insane but plausible) we would be saving them the days of south to north travel, literally create 10's of thousands of jobs and then produce a permanent stream of money for the US and lower Texas as a whole.

Exactly.

The elevation is WAY too high in places along the US/Mexico boarder, even miles north of it. SO that won't work.

Just have to dig deeper.
Literally this would produce 10s of thousands if not millions of jobs.

@scottalanmiller it's a bathtub overflow drain.

lol - I did know that location on a tub is an overflow... but I didn't understand what he was showing us until right now - a storage location for the main drain plug, over the top of the overflow drain... I know not all tubs have that.

Good Morning everybody.
Datto Drive used to be built on Owncloud but on their website it only lists LAMP. Did they just keep using the Owncloud source code?

And I thought that it was a plug just for the overflow. I assumed there was another plug for the drain.

I was thinking the same at first too - but it just didn't appear to seal good enough, and besides - that's a huge safety issue.
