Palisades fire

Explain the videos of water tanker aircraft refilling their tanks with seawater....the videos are common...I get it. It must be stressful to even be near that much devastation. And rather than just watch it and take it all in, my mind went to thinking of fixing it to avoid thinking about the bad stuff. Men, am I right?
Here’s a partial answer: the salt is corrosive to the machinery, dampens the firefighting effect of the water, carries a charge that might be dangerous to the firefighters, and will run off into groundwater afterwards, perhaps making it unusable.
Here is why California can’t use ocean water to help fight the wildfires
Salt water can wreck a fire, but it can also wreck equipment and vegetation as wellwww.the-independent.com

It’s reasonable to permit insurance companies to jack up premiums for those that don’t.
Hope he passes out the paper towels again. #hero
When I see all these homes burning with cedar shake shingles I just shake my head. Why would people be so stupid?
Wood roofs have been banned in California for over 20 years.
The Santa Ana winds are picking up again and tomorrow is supposed to be very windy. LA can’t catch a break. The magnitude of the destruction is horrifying.
Best hope is it blows back into itself, meaning in areas that have already burnt. Next 48 hours will be very important.
Marv they caught another homeless arsonist.To explain it more, from AI:
Water gains pressure to reach homes primarily through a system of pumps that push water into elevated storage tanks, like water towers, which then use gravity to distribute the pressurized water through a network of pipes to homes, with the height difference between the tank and your home creating the pressure needed for the water to flow; essentially, the higher the water tower, the greater the water pressure at your home.
But here is a story 1) discussing it is the tanks that are empty and 2) that the massive water release last year was out of fear the dams would fail:
Did California releasing reservoir water create shortage for wildfires?

It seems like pyromaniac homeless should be eligible for commitment followed by their sentence. That should keep them out of circulation an extra long time. The way things can be, 5 or 6 days even.
Can we send them to some other country, maybe their own? Or should be simply pay to feed them for life for breaking into our country.
Down home on the farm, a neighbor calf that keeps busting the fence, is considered calories for my families survival. But that's just the people who feed this country . But What do they know anyway?
That’s why I linked the video a few pages back from Mark Grobert. He’s lived in LA for decades. He says that 95% of the fires started there are done by the homeless smoking crack and other drugs. And the police are absolutely powerless to touch them.Marv they caught another homeless arsonist.

Nice tight spiral that whistles as it leaves his hand.
Why would you reflectively Question that? What you questioned was me asking if "we can send them to another country, maybe their own"
Then you reflexivity question. You simply care more for illegals than you do for your American Brothers and Sisters and having sovereign nation. Rainbows, love everyone and ultimately force other people money to pay for these illegals. We all know your fancy polite way to spend other peoples $$$ .
Always piss on that polite guy, he's trying to tack advantage of everyone else.
We all see you Marv. But you are very polite about it.

So the homeless crackheads retreat to the brushy areas to smoke rocks?
I misread your original post as suggesting it was an illegal. So I was asking
I smoke my crack in a crackhouse. As God intended.
No shortcuts here.
No shortcuts here.
Duely noted, but you've made it quite clear that "I" have to accept paying for illegals. You may claim to be independent, but have no problem spending my $$ without my permission. But you are always polite about it! I love that part....... Much like my ex wives. Great women, pure as a driven snow!
That is why they are not current wives !
I’m sure some do occasionally. LA has over 200k homeless people. Almost all are junkies.
people pay for things they don't want all the time. I can introduce you to some pacifists who you can commiserate with.
I have argued, and linked, the law about aliens and suggested we change it.
Pacifist, as you say, make their own bed.
But you are very fine, taking $$ out of my wallet an spending it for things that I am not agreeing with. You have made the VERY apparent.
And NO, I don't agree that is my price for living in your hidden socialism. Socialism has never been brought in with full transparency (you lose everything and we will doll it out to you as we see fit). Socialism always comes with your level of independence and political fraud.
If you wonder why MAGA is now in charge.... "We see you!"
And this is the standard dem, thinking that The Donald will kill them, or anything, actually!
Self made fear of things they’ve made stupid post about being a threat to democracy! Puff!
Speaking of that...
Anyone watched the documentary 'Sons of Ecstasy' on Max yet? ... Sammy 'the bull' Gravano. He goes into witness protection after terrifying against Gotti, moves his family out of Phoenix... Then his son gets into the local X game in the 90s rave scene, Sammy gets pulled into it... Pretty wild story.
@mcmurtry66
Here we go. Certain boring people are going to boohooo but I have a buddy who went to prison in California taking the fall for Sammy’s kid! Craziest shit ever. Three buds all went to unlv. Studied restaurant and hotel management. One became a sommelier for emerald lagasse. Worked at delmonico’s in the Venetian for years. Still in Vegas. The other was a craps dealer who today is a collections lawyer in so fla. And the third ran half a dozen titty bars in Vegas. Became super tight with the kid and was running drugs from Miami through the Midwest to Vegas. Got busted and went to prison. Madness. Today he installs kitchen cabinets here. And we have mutual friends posting on FB 2 years and 21 days until I retire (from ameren, the state, the sewer dist, etc). Crazy the paths people take.
I have not seen it but absolutely will!

Prime has a bunch of 50 minute docs on all the mafia guys. I love all that stuff!!
On top of it his dad was a cop. The dad got dismissed bc he was trying to shoot a bat in his house and just filled the house with gun shots.
You got me all fired up. The Civella crime family which was the crime family in kc - their kid is a criminal defense lawyer in stl. And jimmy hoffa’s daughter was a county judge here forever. Crazy. Super sweet lady.
Anyway I love all that shit. Some day I’m going to watch the godfather. If you like that stuff it’s supposed to be solid
