Live updates: Brush fire burns in Pacific Palisades as Santa Ana winds blast Southern California - Live video at link

Those Solar cycles are a bit fickle and last 9‒14 years. The mechanics of it are a bit too complex for me, because >Magnetohydrodynamics, but it's perfectly natural and doesn't really have long term effects on climate, since it is short and averages out in the long run.

Short term it's a sizable amount of extra activity, on the order of 0.1% solar output from what I've read. But that amounts to one extra Watt of solar energy per m². I doubt you could feel that on the skin and as far as I know the Solar emission spectrum cannot change because of it, since the color of the light that arrives here is determined by the contents of the solar atmosphere and its overall temperature, which doesn't vary by that much, at least I don't think so.

Some solar maxima are hotter than others, though, and afaik the most recent grand maximum was last century, and those are sorta rare. I'm not aware if we are in a period of exceptional solar maximum, I'm not a sun spot counter.

All subjective experience aside, air quality, pollution/particulates, humidity and temperature, as well as Ozone concentration in the stratosphere and where you are on the globe all change how the light arriving from the Sun feels here on the ground, so basically beats me bro.

RE: people saying the sun is hotter/whiter/burning you more easily

Congratulations, you're getting old.

I wouldn't have been allowed on this site 5 years ago.

Leonardo DiCaprio donated one million dollars to fire relief efforts. That will make a big difference.

his networth is around 300,000,000 USD. it's so funny to see motherfuckers like this spend millions and millions and millions on wildlife shit, but when it comes to helping their literal neighbors, their fellow man? "oh, here's a pittance of my wealth, lol. bye!"

When your neighbors are Hollywood freaks I think spending your money on animals and wildlife is way better.

Aside from the tax write-off he'll gain more in continued exposure and press than a million dollars usually buys.

Granted. Although even if he wanted to go full hobo, destitute, and actually had liquidity to give the money away at its nominal value, 300 mil is only what, the cost of 60-100 houses there? This doesn't have any bearing on DiCaprio or what I think of him, but even his whole net worth is sort of peanuts to the total price tag of this fire and subsequent relief efforts.

sure, but imagine the things he could do for individuals even if he doesn't buy them houses. imagine what the ultra-wealthy, people with 10x his net worth (and yes i know net worth isn't all liquid, but the point is that they have assets and power) could do in the blink of an eye. imagine what these people could have done if they used their money to advocate for proper government in the first place.

and the reason i call it out specifically on leo is that like 10 years ago, he donated 15m dollars to environmental causes of various types, but he won't even come up off a quarter of that for his own neighbors. they talk big about loving others and the planet, but it's really just the good publicity they love. i actually find leo less despicable than all the people who aren't helping, but it's laughable to me how he did it.

So I went to check the californiafirefacts.com/Newsom campaign site page and find this. They've completely lost the plot if they're posting things like this. Do they really think posting "No" is going to persuade the people who believe these sort of things?

no, conspiracy child, you are completely wrong. there was no satan involved in any of the rituals going on that started the fires. the demons are on their way. enjoy hell.

Looks like they're trying to bring out that smoke demon that showed up during the Washington fires.

>inb4 they accidentally summoned Kek instead.

They are partially right. The satanic ritual didn't direct cause the fire. It was just the final straw to convince God it was time for Sodom 2: Electric boogaloo

84-year-old woman evades patrols to hide out inside her home within Palisades Fire evacuation zone

America.
Surely something like this wouldn't happen in AMERICA right guys? Americans have freedom and rights!
As for the leaders hiding information and outright lying to people, this is AMERICA not Russia or China or Korea... First Amendment! Free speech! (plus Americans are a bunch of loudmouths that would surely Karen their way through any situation)

Oh wait, America was told by their leaders to literally kneel in honor of a criminal while cities were burned five years ago. And they did!

Forgive me, I have been trying to shed the last of my holiday weight gain and the dieting is making me cranky. I will try to limit my posting until I can allow myself cookies again.

Well. there was the qanon thing with the hot dogs and Hawaii and Obama... I really REALLY wish I had saved some of the schizoposting during the heyday of 4chan's involvement in that whole thing. They strung together some wild-ass shit. I seem to remember exchange students being involved with a pool cleaning service in a nefarious manner... and who has a lot of swimming pools? That's right kids, MOVIE STARS!! (cue banjo pickin')

I mean - at this juncture, I'd be inclined to believe it. It's fun (if you discount the whole child rape thing).

I welcome the new change in our beautiful sun daddy as long as it scorches California off the face of the earth. Send those prominences toward 34.0549° N, 118.2426° W please and thank you.

Notably, the great fire of Rome took 6 days to bring under control. In 64 CE AD...

This sounds familiar. When was this?

 

[Dixieland Buckaroo]

Containment percentages always lag the visible flame. I don't remember the full methodology they use to claim the percentages, but part of it requires fully creating a perimeter line around the fire from which it can't spread. It also requires eliminating active flames (especially threats to spread) and observation of fire movement in the affected area.

It's typical (at least for large fires in California) for a fire to be "out" by observation, and yet for it to only be at 50% contained.
