Hasnt California had basically negative rain in the last month? My family down there is kind of concerned since right now is typically very very wet where they live (Rancho Cucamonga).

sure it's dry, but no drier than it has been for most of the last fifteen years. this is the new normal

gojm what are the fire management practices like in your neck of the woods? i want to study indigenous fire management techniques here

it's honestly in a really frustrating state with tons of complicating factors. to put it very simply, the main focus is on hardening properties and infrastructure in vulnerable areas through buffer areas kept free of potentially flammable vegetation. the big problems with this is that a large part of it relies on owners putting in the time, effort and money to comply with these requirements, and that the areas that are vulnerable are rapidly expanding as climate change dries out and heats up our region

a possible solution to this is more widespread and aggressive use of controlled burns to safely deplete fuel, but continuous drought conditions, fears from the community, and regulatory inertia make this difficult if not impossible to implement

so now we're in permanent hellworld in which fires can breakout year round, in areas that have not traditionally hardened against them, all while communities continue to sprawl out further into the hinterlands. and the states only recourse seems to be efficiently evacuating people and then paying for rebuilding. climate change is already costing our state hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars a year just in this respect

A friend’s take was “with all this hero worship following Stan Lee’s death, Jack Kirby would be rolling in his grave if Lee hadn’t stolen that too.”

Cool take that isn't like, only partially correct

Lee absolutely had a hand in making those books, but he also absolutely got way more credit than he should have. Whether that was intentional or not, and whether it was because he wanted credit from the jump or to build the character of Stan Lee to hype poo poo, is a discussion worth having but "lol he didn't make poo poo" is a dumb one

it was a joke, not a grand expression of my thoughts and opinions on the history of the comic book industry

my local npr station carried a report in which the reporter was traveling with a resident of paradise as he traveled back to the ruins of his home and realized his disabled wife burned to death. california at least is taking notice of the literal hellscape we are now living in

i'm not a particular expert on caribbean food and exactly what part of its roots stretch back to africa, but it is definitely a cuisine that makes intense heat a part of everyday cooking and my impression is a lot of that comes from peppers imported from africa

Wouldn’t the peppers in question not be imported from Africa but be gathered more locally? Unless it’s specific cultivars that were split off from American peppers and are now local to Africa?

again, i'm very familiar with the culinary history

it has been undeniably spicy for a good length of time though

edit: er… not very familiar

my understanding was that lock out tag out applied anytime someone was entering an area where they might be exposed to hazardous energy

so physically entering the machine totally calls for lock out tag out unless there's extenuating circumstances that make lock out tag out impossible, specifically so no idiot comes along, sees a functional machine and decides to start it up while you're still inside it

Nah. They aren't the backbone of the industry anymore, but OSHA still lets shops use manual machines for less value producing work that isn't profitable on more expensive machines. The technology for that poo poo hasn't changed since like, the 60's, and there's still people who get killed or really hosed up by them today. You can't operate them without being exposed to hazardous energy.

ah, alright. i rarely work in conditions were lock out tag out remotely applies and when i do it tends to be for either stuff involving high energy electric systems or huge gently caress off turbines, so the work around them is highly regulated and coordinated

i don't touch them though, i just touch the stuff growing around them
