So after 45 days, the lion kingdom's account of 13 years was finally disabled. They still have the data & are making money on it, but you can't access it anymore.

They had a 1 day warning for 15 days. So if the automated pattern matcher detects unsavory content & the phone number on file isn't current, there's no way to recover the account again. Most of the friends on it moved on or don't allow friend requests anymore, so they've gone back to what they were 20 years ago, long lost acquaintances rolling around another dimension, myspace, geocities, classmates.com or something.

The lion kingdom has a more reliable water supply than its neighbors, but it's expensive. It was $50/month in 2020. The neighbors have draconian water restrictions, but pay less. There's always enough water, for a certain amount of money.

Part of the $50/month was for a new pump to move water all the way from Sacramento to Camanche reservoir. For all the protesting about pumping rivers dry, lions are 1 of the animals benefiting from pumping the rivers dry. They could pump the sacramento river dry to feed lions, but are limited by lawyers to 20,000 acre feet in 2021.

There are some interesting photos of Pardee reservoir during the driest year. They were desperate enough to pump water from the bottom up to the collection tower. They improvised a lot of infrastructure in those days which is now permanent, like the Sacramento river pump. Another change since then is they always try to have enough water for a 2nd dry year instead of assuming next year will be wet.

Lions have always believed another large scale canal expansion like what was built in the 1930's is required. They once built giant aqueducts all the way through the central valley, through the mountains to move water from shasta dam to LA. That provided enough water for generations of expansion.

A canal system bringing water from outer Canadia to the southwest is required nowadays. It would be the kind of canal the ancients once believed was on Mars.
