  1. Toyota, 2 Mazdas, and MyRadar here. I'm fooked.
  2. It just occurred to me ... the Bastrop fire burned for 55 days. I've slept a couple of times since then so maybe I just forgot, but I don't remember President Obama politicizing that fire or doing anything other than offering the help of the federal government. Same with Biden during the Smokehouse Creek fire that burned a million acres and took 3 weeks to contain. In fact, he said 'When disasters strike, there's no red states or blue states'.

    This here. And re: the bold portion, pretty sure that's unpossible.
  5. COTA resurfacing the esses. Again.
  6. So I guess that was started by an auto fire?
  7. For the people who cry when we call out Rogan for being a POS ... shit like this is the reason why we do it.
  8. Yeah and all I can make out is someone standing maybe 50 feet away from where the smoke is originating. Maybe I'm missing it, and maybe that person started that particular fire, but I don't see the 'proof'.
  9. Not on the same scale of course, and afaik he had good intentions, but this reminds me of Mike Levy incessantly trying to tell AFD what to do and how to do it. He'd literally call dispatch and tell us we should be doing x, y, and z, and we'd be like, "Uh, ok Mr. Levy. We'll pass this up the chain of command". Then we'd hang up the phone and someone would always say "Why the fuck does he have access to our phone number?"
  10. What a complete POS.
  11. LOL what a fucking dumbass. I wonder how long it will take him to call this firefighter a pedophile ...
  12. Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks ‘they’ should put out the California wildfires by making it rain – 15 responses that might dampen her mood https://www.thepoke.com/2025/01/13/marjorie-taylor-greene-dems-should-put-out-wildfires-by-making-it-rain/ Holy sh*t. One paragraph in and I'm already LOLing. #7 is my favorite ...
  13. Exactly. I won't re-post all my posts in the same vein from the other thread, but yeah, all of this.
  14. On top of Baker losing the game for the Bucs in classic Baker Mayfield fashion with a critical turnover, TIL that he led the league in both INTs and fumbles this year. It was a good day ....
  15. LOL first thing that popped into my mind too ....
  16. Looks like it belongs in the 'parking douchebaggery' thread, too. Taking up two spots.
  17. Yep ... and Honda's an actual car manufacturer, not a pretend one like Tesla.
  18. Judging from the thread, I think it may refer to a theory that this is an act of terrorism.
  19. Yeah like I said above, a water infrastructure capable of handling such a disaster would be a gargantuan undertaking, if it could be done at all. And if it could be engineered and constructed, there is zero chance imho that anyone would pay for it.
  20. I just read that this 737 has no backup power for both the CVR and FDR. If both electronic circuits fail (ie both engines stop working), the 737 relies on a battry pack for emergency power, but the CVR and FDR are not powerd by it. Can any of you aviation types confirm? From Reddit:
  21. ... and there are those bomberos from Mexico.
  22. Yeah roomie was on him hitting the ball before he could even get it pulled back to throw. That's not on Ewers imho.
  23. Yeah there was a guy on another board who was up in arms about the Malibu fire, saying there's no good reason for all those waterfront houses to burn, because there's all that water right there!!!!!1!1!!. Why can't they just pump water up from the ocean?' I had to explain to him that ... To which he responded "Well then they should have a system that uses the seawater for firefighting, and this whole 'salt water is hard on the pumps' thing is all a bit fuzzy". (seriously, he actually said that) So I explained that ... He was still skeptical. Yeah, I know ... shocking. This is only the beginning. Just as with Elon and Trump and some on this board talking ignorant, simplistic nonsense when it comes to the fires and firefighting, there are plenty of others out there who are sure they know better and aren't trying to hear rational explanations or anything realistic. Saying "This is simply a natural disaster" doesn't even move the needle. Not even a little bit.
