12·24 days agoIn other words, this vulnerability isn’t that big of a deal.
12·28 days agoI wonder if we could transplant some of them to other places to try to save them. Like somewhere in Australia, or even North America. I feel the same way about manatees and lemurs. It really feels like we aren’t doing enough to save some of these species.
Is it? I could have sworn high school football players were still ending up in the hospitals with heat related illnesses.

I wonder what percentage of these people wouldn’t be in this situation if we had socialized medicine? Or if Regan hadn’t shut down the mental hospitals in the 80s? I realize that not all homeless people are schizophrenic, or addicts, or victims of medical debt — but it would probably explain why the US has a larger share of this problem.
Gee, I bought this cheap made in China Android TV thing off Ali express, and I just can’t figure out how this backdoor got in here…
This is such a weird thing to complain about — oh I can watch your eyes and figure out your virtual keyboard password! Really? ‘Cause I can watch the physical keyboard as you type the password on your computer and figure out your password too!
It’s not meant to be a right wing talking point. It’s an honest question. (It’s not like I asked if they were going to rake the forest leaves like Donny dumbasss.)
This problem isn’t going away and I haven’t seen any progress in either the fires lessening in intensity or in the media reporting of California making any changes/updates. It just feels like we’re not making much progress.
I do appreciate the sincere list of changes you listed. I was surprised you mentioned that power lines were being buried because the last thing I read was that it’s just business as usual over at PG&E.
Dropping fire retardant sounds like a necessary evil I guess. I have no idea if the stuff they are using still contains pfas or something else we will regret later. I’d still like to see them cut fire lanes. It’s an older preventative, but it helps. I’m not a fan of controlled burns because they get out of hand too often and do more harm than good.
My grandpa worked as a watchman in a fire watchtower in a southern US forest. You never hear about that being a job anymore — that’s why I asked. I guess it makes a lot more sense these days to station cameras everywhere and monitor them remotely.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
What has California done to prevent this since the last wildfire?
- Have they clearcut fire lanes through the woods?
- Have they told power companies they have to start burying power lines?
- Or posted automated or manned drones to watch for fires?
- Or hired and trained more firefighters?
- Or built additional fire watch towers?
- Or purchased additional firefighting planes?
Fire risk is only going to get worse going forward, so I’m wondering what steps have been implemented to change things.
5·3 months agoI wonder how many power lines that money could bury?

31·5 months agoI’d say the reboot falls apart about 2/3 of the way through. The last cylon reveals felt very Lost/Lindelof where they’d painted themselves into a corner and hadn’t planned out the ending.
Portal! Wish I’d remembered that one for my list. Such an inventive game.
- Yars revenge on Atari 2600.
- Kaboom on 2600.
- Pitfall on 2600.
- Myst on classic Mac.
- Dark Castle classic Mac.
- Diablo 1.
- Star Wars Dark Forces.
- That weird Ayn Rand utopia in the sky Bioshock sequel on any platform.
- The Star Wars Battlefront game that came out around rogue one on Xbox until the developer started tweaking with it and it became a griefer’s paradise.
- Gauntlet arcade and home versions. So fun to play as co-op.
- Ms Pac Man arcade.
- Tempest arcade.
And a shout out to Arashi, which was a great classic mac homage to Tempest.
3·6 months agoHow about investing in curbside composting? That’s a carbon-neutral fertilizer.
I use one of those Sun thru Sat pill containers. I have one color for morning, the other for night. I keep all pill bottles I am currently taking in one box/basket and I use them to refill the dispensers once a week.
Anything I am not currently taking is in a separate box in a cabinet on the top shelf. Or, if it’s expired or I know I’m not taking it ever again, I dispose of it at the local Walgreens that has a “secure pill trash can” just for this purpose.
Lenses also gave us telescopes and microscopes. Pretty amazing discovery.

Depends on the part of Texas you’re in. Texas is a very large state.
Possibly save Facebook website as a web app.
I’m not sure though if the data is siloed from the rest of Safari on iOS. You could also try downloading a third party browser from the App Store and using it exclusively for Facebook.
I guess one way to test this would be to:
If so, then it’s more likely cookies, etc aren’t shared between the two.
