The Reagan library burning is one of the last things you should want because it contains plenty of the documentary evidence of what kind of President he actually was (bad), and the less of that there is the more room there is for the hagiographic Saint Ronald of myth to propagate.

If the state enacted my Dirigible Housing Project this fire risk poo poo wouldn't matter. Everyone could ride the drifting air currents and watch as the ground far beneath them twists and chars under the intense heat of our sins.

You can crow about the docs and stuff, but that doesn't change the fact there's a whole exhibit and video display on how brave the Contras were in challenging the Sandanistas and how the poor president had no idea about the bad apples behind Iran Contra. Basically the library is a hall for travelling exhibits with a chunk of space carved out for Reagan bullshit.

CopperHound posted:Does your old one use the screw on pink disks? Let me know how it compares in regards to how easy it is to breath in and comfort during physical exertion. (That link is for the large size, other sizes have different product pages). However, the pink 2091 p100 discs are actually the old model p100 filters. New ones are the 2291 p100 that are white with pink webbing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009POHG2M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They use 3 layers instead of 5 while supposedly achieving the same filter performance (or so the brochure says), and of course this makes it easier to breath. The webbing is to make them a bit sturdier. I noticed a difference though between the new ones and the older pink ones, and the new ones are indeed easier breathing They also offer the 2297 P100 filters which have added Organic Vapor Nuisance Odor Relief and for some reason are slightly cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009POHH94/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 (While the p100 filter quality shouldn't have a shelf life, I think the Organic Vapor Nuisance Odor Relief feature does have a shelf life, though if they expire it just means that feature doesn't work afaik. Everything aside from the p filter rating has a shelf life iirc) Though I ponied up and paid for a 3M Ultimate FX full face mask for whenever I have to do tractor work, and given my terrible allergies it gets used for any yard work that kicks up a bunch of stuff.

Even hoping for it to burn down is pointless as it could be easily rebuilt - its not like its some treasure trove of irreplaceable primary sources.

If the Reagan Library burned down, there would be an influx of cash to rebuild it faster than Notre Dame and we all know it. Sure some primary source docs would burn up but that just destroys records that get in the way of Reagan's sainthood. I think symbolically we'd all cheer it but it'd be grosser to see the chocodile televagalist level tears pleading for free money.

FilthyImp posted:If the 2018 map here is accurate Yeah, but there are a lot of deeper problems that lead to the strange routes into and out of the cities. Going straight north out of San Diego runs you through long stretches of the coast where you can't add extra track that would allow HSR to get around local trains. You also couldn't electrify the rail because the rich people who live near that right of way would never let you build the overhead wires and spoil their view. LA is surrounded by mountains, so they either get to build a multi-billion dollar tunnel or fight a decades long legal battle with millionaires who are fighting the train because they're afraid it will frighten their horses. San Francisco is bounded by water on three sides and some of the most expensive real estate in the country on the other. People love to point out how the route deviates from a straight line drawn between the three cities, but I never hear anyone actually explain how they would have dealt with the problems on the ground. Honestly, as far as I can tell, the route issue boils down to a bunch of bad faith arguments made by people would oppose HSR regardless of which alignment it used.

You are comparing CO released from wildfires to China's CO released from massive industrial pollution and nobody can tell what you are trying to say.

No no no, he's saying until China's improved, we shouldn't put out our wildfires, because the pollution from them is the compelling factor here and that amount of pollution just isn't significant compared to how much pollution from factories and power plants China is producing.

Apparatchik Magnet posted:https://twitter.com/ComradeArthur/status/1189914287126528000 ... Is the OP of that thread actually arguing that the liberal dystopia caused PG&E to do this by not forcing them at gunpoint to maintain their lines?

The take is that PG&E spent it's tree trimming budget on "pie-in-the-sky" "liberal fantasy" green energy projects. That it was forced to do so by the corrupt liberal machinations of Sacramento, and that it's an "Ann Randian" Atlas shrugged scenario somehow. It's an interesting take. Calling into question how PG&E spent it's budget, but didn't really do any leg work other then taking a very, very, political stand.

It also presupposes that PG&E had a good maintenance and repair record until those evil liberals in Sacramento made them start spending money on chasing wild dreams like reducing global warming and not polluting the air.

Once you get past Del Mar, most of the route is already double-tracked or can be. As to Del Mar, they are considering tunneling out of the city because rising sea levels threaten the existing track.

lol my mom, noted Amsterdam resident and confirmed Dutch person, is sending Facebook messages to me, a lifelong Californian, with advice on how to deal with poor air quality due to smoke, because she saw this article and apparently thinks I'm a dope. I now fully expect to get a message after the next earthquake asking if I remembered to duck and cover.
