Everything is fine!
Only the largest wildfire in Texas history happening during winter, nothing to see here.

The fires begin

Many many fires, all at once

Fires are covered with snow

Fires are over

It's just a coincidence all the fires started with no lightning involved, and they all started next to a road

Hey, lets blame climate change!

Winter in West Texas is probably not like winter in some other parts of the world.
But, here in East Colorado, we have been under fire watch for the last week. This Winter has been as dry as last Winter was wet.

Here, the farmers are all worried about the crops. IF they don't get some significant rain or snow in the next month the entire Winter Wheat crop will be in jeopardy.

O sweet summer child, funny thing about unchecked monopoly capitolism. It can be bad for not only climate, but forest managment, transportation infrastructure, power infrastructure, price gouging for shareholders on basic needs (water, air, housing, food) ALL AT THE SAME TIME. But sure pick those cherries.

Incidentally, one of the co-conspirators turned on the group and extorted Esch in particular. The unidentified male threatened to expose the entire enterprise to authorities in exchange for Esch paying the man's bond for release from jail and giving several five-figure payments to the man's girlfriend. Esch, according to his plea agreement, even shrugged off the man's admitted theft of an all-terrain vehicle from Esch in exchange for the man's silence.

I think I understand the "Colorado man" thread now

In August of 2023, a month before Jager and Esch reached their plea agreements with prosecutors, this unidentified male co-conspirator escaped from prison. This triggered a nationwide manhunt and caused Esch and his family "to go into hiding," as stated in a court document. Two weeks after the escape, the co-conspirator was found dead.

There's a goddamn story in there somewhere.

Not just tampering with the data, but the instruments themselves! And a dead fugitive. With no details.

Jasper's burning down.

About a third of the town gone.

Mom's park had to be evacuated last weekend. She was already home anyway for family reasons, but she did get on the road to go in to the park and pick up her stuff. Fortunately the road got closed and she had to turn around. I would have been real mad to find she got burned up trying to rescue her teddy bear.

Or is this some joke I didn't get?

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

Which kind of reinforces ES’s point about web design eras.

[fragment]

That people use URL routing routinely now?

Oh yeah, duh. notwithstanding, I guess.

I didn't mean to make a joke or a point, I was just being oblivious.

Lassen is one of my favoritest parks.
