If a lot of very wealthy people lose their bitcoin keys, then this significantly increases bitcoin scarcity, which will make the remaining bitcoin more valuable.

It's fine. With the new administration's tech focus, they'll just print more Bitcoin.

These people are choking on their own degeneracy and poor decision making. Many such cases. SAD!

where is this being reported by? KTLA 5 is busy talking about "emotional support" and how much looking people in the eye is helping

for real? (fr fr, on god?)
that's fucking hilarious

How do you overnight a fire truck from Eastern Europe?

Who's gonna be paying for shipping?

Actually I am curious. They have this fucking beast nearby but they seem to just be letting it sit there.

They're only really useful for creating firebreaks using the red stuff (retardant). They are extremely good at that though.

Once upon a time, California stood Edward Furlong up as the epitome of a cool American teenager and popularized a bunch of nonsense like “hasta la vista” and “cowabunga”.

They’ve overdrawn their cultural account

Man, this is gonna delay Vito's comic by at least half a year at minimum.

Yeah. and EVS's.

I don’t know what her sources are, but it’s hard to imagine a group of people sitting around and passing judgement on a slapdash fix making sense as an idiom.

Maybe I stand corrected, but like, she didn’t mention WHICH 16th century nautical source, and I always assumed “jury rigged” was misheard

jury-rig doesn't have anything to do with people passing judgment. the word jury in this context meant to improvise a quick fix for something temporarily, hence jury-rigging. something that's jury-rigged is improvised with a temporary, quick fix.

kind of like how california was jury-rigged together with duct-tape and chewing gum, macgyver style.

i honestly didn't realize what a great representation of LA grand theft auto online really was. i am actually recognizing spots in the city thanks to my admittedly overspent time in that game. neat dedication to detail from the devs, and a horrifying personalization of the fires for me.

Unironically yes. I had a layover in LA between flights on my first time in America and used my memories of GTA V to get out of LAX and to where I wanted to go, it's incredibly accurate even if altered slightly

They're shutting down US 101, fire is about to cross the freeway

So millions of people are possibly trapped for real now?

That's just how insurance works. If you have a "rebuild rider" you're better off rebuilding, even if it takes ten+ years (and it will sometimes)

Even with that rider, the insurance company will offer you a lump-sum (as it gets rid of you as a liability on the books) and that sum can be negotiated, and you probably should.

Since you have to live somewhere whilst it is being rebuilt, you might as well take the money and run, selling the land.

Interesting to note, that this means whomever buys it from you will pay updated Prop 13 taxes, so CA may actually financially benefit in the long run.

In California you automatically get the replacement cost for a rebuild and you get an extra percentage of coverage for it (usually 50%).

You can see why insurers are pulling out of the state.

A few of the TV helicopters currently in the air:

N358TV NBC4:

N925TV KTLA5:

N50Q CBS9:
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a638f5
N828AP ABC7:

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ab4ea1

Lots of firefighting assets in the area also if you're a dork for that sort of thing.

edit: added one and corrected N925TV

Ya but they have 3 of them and they have all been parked at SBD, some moved from Victorville to SBD but none of them have done any drops at all.

Few houses got a new paintjob

View attachment 6839867
lmao worst case scenario you lose your whole house

best case scenario you got a new free LA country approved paintjob

This is a streak of Phos-Check, which is a fire retardant. Mainly phosphate salts, clay, and some kind of surfactant/foaming agent. The red color comes from added iron oxide. The color should wash right off after the first rain. If not, a quick spray with some Iron Out will reduce and chelate the iron, which the can be readily washed away.

A private key is the way you access bitcoin. It's a string of numbers, and without it, you cannot access your "wallet". Think of it a bit like having a key to a security deposit box full of money, and if you lose the key there's no way to get a new one - the money's stuck in there forever. Typically people store these somewhere "safe" and offline, either written down somewhere or stored on a hard drive - there's a man who keeps trying to dig up a landfill because his girlfriend accidentally threw out his hard drive.
If a lot of very wealthy people lose their bitcoin keys, then this significantly increases bitcoin scarcity, which will make the remaining bitcoin more valuable.

I know what a private key is, notice I mentioned Bitcoin by name. I'm asking how this person would know who has what in their house and that they for sure lost it. It sounds like wish fulfillment thinking to me.

All those cancer warnings those faggots had tags put on for everything I buy being cancerous if consumed finally coming back at them.

"Kenneth Fire"
"though persevere"
"Mountain View Estates"
"Winds are going down (toward the estates)"
"successful water drops"
"15-25 MPH gusts"
Actual Evac zones on screen? (MAYBE CHECK YOURSELF)
warning going off

"continue to watch the fire fight in Mountain View"
"LA COUNTY SENT OUT EVAC ORDER ON ACCIDENT"
"I know we've been telling you, and it's confusing"
"county leaders tried to put out another alert"
"Someone come on and explain how the heck that happens"

So millions of people are possibly trapped for real now?

If the CA state government doesn't have a detailed plan to solve this exact problem then they've failed their disaster planning so comprehensively I cannot comprehend it. An out of control fire getting within tens of kms of key roads should trigger backup plans of how to transport water, people, supplies etc around that blockage immediately. Doubly, tripley so if millions of people could even possibly be trapped.

I’ve never heard the word “jury” being used in any context outside of a group of people that make decisions in trials.

Obviously I’m not an expert on Middle English who can dispute this, but there’s not a lot of similar cases, like “sixteenth century words with completely different meanings when combined with one particular verb that sound like normal non nautical words”

Like, I didn’t even know nautical English was different from other forms of English

I haven't been following this too closely but...

California catches on fire every summer and has been since the 2010's. Catching fire during winter is a new one. Maybe if the "muh environment" fags let people remove the dead brushes, they wouldn't catch on fire so much. But they prefer the fire to torch their environment than clean up the fire hazards.
I wonder if that's why State Farm said 'fuck you' to them. They refuse to take preventative measures so they cost a fuckton of money to insure and they had enough. Considering they're now doing huge fires outside of summer...yeah.

My family always said that the fires were God sending a message. I believe it. It's the most evil state in the country. Or at least one of them.

I'm conflicted because I despise California with all my being, but I hope people get to safety at the same time.
I just hope they don't decide to flee to other states. They keep infecting other good states like deadly parasites.
