I don't need a pool, I have waterfront property. Only poor people need pools... poor people like you.

Haha indeed... haven't seen those things in at least 15 years. And i think that was in rural Hungary or something.

So a total disaster; nothing more than I expected from Geofftard

I believe those are power lines...no?

Are they? Antique all the same, haven't seen em in a first world country since i was a child. We use these in Europe, i guess we care a little more about our infrastructure not being totally crap:

Yeah, and in populated areas we put them underground.
Always wondered why in the US they keep them above ground.

Those powerlines Ryoki posted are used for transporting electricity over relatively long distances and a lot of power is flowing through there. I think they use them in the US as well, but for local distribution, smaller poles are used.

As for them not being underground, I guess that in some cases it's just not practical. In Holland, we're just lucky to have relatively soft ground beneath our feet, so it's easy to dig a trench and put a few cables in there. In rocky mountain areas, it's a whole different story. I also guess it's cheaper to do it above ground if you have to cross several hundreds of kilometers.

It's simply not true that powerlines like those pictured in Geoff's photo aren't used in Europe. Look in countries outside of the Netherlands (as close as Germany, Belgium or France) and you'll see the use of similar powerlines is quite abundant.

I'm sorry for party pooping the whole bash Geoff thing here, but it was baseless bashing anyways

They've started putting them under ground, but it takes time. It's kind of a big country...

Eraser is correct...

Yes, but I assume the water supply is underground. So it would seem logical to put the electricity supply down there as well, while you're at it.
And not bashing Geoff, this doesn't really seem something he has control over. Just genuinely curious.

It's a 45 year old development dipshits...

I'll talk to the hoa and explain to them the penality of death will be upon them if they don't bury the lines in the next couple of years...mmmkay poorons?...

It comes down to how popular they are, I'm struggling to think of a time where I've seen low voltage power cables above ground, even in some of the most hard to reach areas that need to use a dish to get the internet. The UK are now stuffing their high voltage lines underground n all. I know in the 80s above ground telephone lines were old news and don't see them anymore either, having that stupid cable connected to the roof of your house >: E

America is a big country is a bullshit excuse n all, size is relative homo ;]. Don't think that excuse would wash if you were still using steam on your railways.

So now that I've taken a shit in everyones sand box I would like to explain, I think it's cos our countries got sick of power cables getting knocked down every winter.

Not that'd affect Texas, how could a state where it's too poor to rain afford it ?

Lol the UK ...

Pathetic...

Them big gov'ment folks ain't gonna stop me from stringing power lines where I wants 'em. Who needs them elect'ocity anyways, Jesus never had no power lines.

Pathetic...

A country so rich that even the poorons refuse to live next to power lines

Did I tell you that houses are made of brick too ?

I was thinking n all when they were chipping away at the stone under your pool. Aren't you afraid of removing the natural barrier against tremors ?

Tremors? Haven't had those here in millions of years...dipshit...
