Fire near camera

On every single fire camera that is zoomed in enough to see trees there are always fucking gum trees in frame. This is worse than I thought why are there so many? What yank environmentalists are so stupid to oppose their felling.? Get rid of them, that many gumtrees will ensure that little fire, if not put out, will burn through that whole cliff by evening. The next governor should run on an anti-gum tree policy as the first step to fix the state. Those gumtrees will self germinate in this fire because its not intense enough to scorch the earth and burn their seeds so americans will need to dig the sapling out in a few months. Otherwise you'll get more fires like this every summer as they grow and spread.

If one evacuates their property but are not allowed back.... does this mean that the government could then declare the property abandoned and take it?
I seem to recall some fuckery of that sort going on in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.

There are some factual issues with your post. The last part is just incorrect as the term predates WWII by a century and was created because the governor of Massachusetts, Elbridge Gerry (who was Vice President under Madison), signed a bill that carved out a convoluted political district favorable to his party that people thought resembled a salamander. The British did refer to the Germans as "Jerry" however and the term was applied to create many words such as as Jerrycan, which is a term still used to refer to a type of gasoline canister that was designed in Germany. However, Jerry-rigged also predates WWII as well and no one is quite sure about the origin, though it seems to come from the similar term "Jerry style" according to Merriam Webster dictionary. For all anyone knows it may just refer to some guy named Jerry (or something that shortened to Jerry) who was a bit of a shithead.

As to Jerry rigged, the same article that the first naysayer quoted against me was a little longer than the bit they quoted, and I was working off memory instead of google, but here’s the other part

So I’m just skeptical that we’re talking in renaissance sailing dialects rather than ww2 euphemisms.

When I said “gerrymander” I wasn’t referring to the practice of redistricting, but a type of horrifying insect, because my category I was referring to was “English people named a bunch of shit “Gerry” (Jerry works) as a joke”

Its the same mistake they made in Spain and Portugal, they had the brilliant idea to plant eucalyptus because the tree grows in arid conditions with little water.

Only the retards never considered that the oily shit trees burn like hell and are impossible to put out once they caught fire, because the oil burns too. (Google for "Spain wildfire eucalyptus" for more info. Its a great EU funded project that really panned out for the environmentalists!)

If they did the same "lets plant eucalyptus because its a great tree for arid regions" bullshit, then all they did was plant trees that burn extra long and hot.

For some more aircraft autism. The red and yellow aircraft that has been seen fighting the fires fills up 1,400 gallons of water in 12 seconds with two scoops the size of your hand. Very impressive engineering.

Was watching this video earlier today, worth the watch if you are bored and curious about it's performance (it's impressive).
