Because reasons.

Bottom line: That entirely depends on what you look like.

And for many, just as importantly, what you want need to look like.

Fuckers. I was about to renew. Fucking fuckers. Fucking fuckety fuck fuck fuckers.

All part of the plan… er sorry 都是计划的一部分

Dude. You should put down the bong long enough to read up on what was covered in the high school civics class you slept through.

And it’s genuinely not a joke.

I’m well aware.

To “descend” you’d have to have not been there in the first place.

Damn you for beating me to this.

I used to make a lot of bread and things like pizza dough. I’ve even grown and ground my own wheat and other grains.

And then my partner developed and/or decided they have a gluten sensitivity. Yes I’ve tried making gluten-free whatever but it’s not the same. I want my gluteny-goodness.

I will harbor this resentment forever.

Pick me! Pick me! oh oh oh!

You are correct - I had forgotten (been quite a while). I still think it’s funny but thanks for pointing this out.

But 宝 (Bǎo) means “precious” or “treasured” and 红宝书 probably only gets translated as little red book because it sounds better in English.

I merely meant that type of plane is important since they have different roles.

In fact the air resources on the LA fires are significantly greater than you outlined. I haven’t been following it at that level but for the Palisades fire alone Watchduty says there are 5123 Personnel, 540 engines, 66 dozers, 60 water tenders and 44 helicopters. I haven’t seen a list for fixed wing but it’s way more than 3 tankers - they’ve been drawing S2s, LATs and VLATs from all over the state. And there are of course more aircraft from other states.

BTW if you are interested the Watchduty app is great for this info. I also use FlightAware and/or FlightRadar24 to see aircraft in the sky. And yes I nerd out on this stuff - I used to do fire reporting for my community.

Wow. They really went with Xiao hong shu?

“of this type”

I heard he’s going to get a divorce so he can marry the ostrich.

It’s not the paper that’s at issue from what I see. It’s your binary interpretation of it.

Seems to me people are stumbling on words - “caused” vs “exacerbated” or “accentuates”.

Climate change is both “causing” fires in the sense that conditions allow more fires to grow to become problems and, as the paper says, “accentuate” fires.

Historical forest management techniques, specifically fire suppression, has also “caused” fires in the sense that conditions allow more fires to grow to become problems.

Both these things are true. It’s also true that neither “cause” fires as in ignite them. Wildlands don’t spontaneously combust. In fact almost all fires in the western US at least are human caused with the balance being lightning.
