    Fire Aid

    Did I just miss the thread on this? This is the best thing I've ever seen.
  2. My house is 100 years old. Ain't no HOA.
  3. Yeah, you would need your own supply. Like a 2,000 gall underground tank.
  4. It was very well played, indeed.
  5. Magic is going to focus his efforts on Altadena. West Altadena is an area that is very diverse, as it was one of the few areas in early LA where redlining wasn't taking place. So you have generations of black families where the bulk of the wealth is in their house. They are going to need a lot of help, and protection from predators.
  6. Mark Walter, lead owner of the Dodgers, the Mark Walter Family Foundation, and the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, are contributing $100 million towards relief efforts. Say what you will about the Dodgers, but that is a serious contribution. Magic Johnson and Casey Wasserman also heavily involved.
  7. Bruins up 10 on SC. Need to kick dirt in their bitch faces.
  8. My wife and I drove through upper Altadena west of Lake this afternoon. The destruction is complete there. I mean blocks and blocks and blocks of utter and complete devastation, with not one house standing. And then drove through other areas closer to us and still just mass destruction. It is incomprehensible how bad it is. I can’t absorb it. It’s surreal. Whatever people in Texas think it is, it’s a million times worse.
  9. Bruins v Washington PAC 12, er Big 10, after dark. That just doesn’t sound right. FS1.
  10. My house turned 100 in 2024.

  12. Hydrants are not designed to battle widescale wildfires burning through neighborhoods. The winds and the speed of spread was just way to much to battle. And air drops weren't possible in those winds
  13. 100% assessment complete. Eaton Fire damage totals:
  14. We may be thugs and Los Vatos Locos, but we ain't Nazis.
  15. Good. This guy has a shady history too. https://www.latimes.com/homeless-housing/story/2025-01-22/california-attorney-general-charges-l-a-landlord-with-alleged-price-gouging-in-wake-of-wildfires?sfmc_id=6529c8f93ed79c24f887e7a4&skey_id=cec2ed7b734552ea35feafaa21373f7a91fa83fb8f7e6148c62d368be8dd9590&utm_id=38312229&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NLTR-Email-List-Essential California&utm_term=Newsletter - Essential California
  16. Fuck me. I didn’t listen to this sage advice. I just felt I had to see what I had heard. I lasted less than 5 minutes, and covered just a spec of that map. I burst out in tears. It’s devastation beyond comprehension. And it’s not some far flung place. It’s where I’ve lived for the last 23 years. Where I’ve walked my dogs, raised my kids, gone to breakfast, smiled and waved to neighbors. Enjoyed our little country club. It’s all gone. I wasn’t prepared to see it. My heart is shattered. But again, I am among the fortunate. But what drew us here is no more. We have to stay and see this through though. We need to stay Dena Strong. But fucking a, that was a punch to the nuts I wasn’t prepared for. And i didn’t even see the worst parts. To say I am sad is trivializing it. I’m crushed. This was a community we were so proud of. 25% of people drive around with “Beautiful Altadena” license plate frames because, well, it was. It was an oasis in this urban metropolis. And it just got nuked. We’ll see what rises from it.
  17. I'm not sure how lucky you are to be a single standing house in a wasteland like that.
  18. TexAgs posts during the Eaton and Palisades fires (don't ask why I checked) were all about that. "I'm not sending one dime to California " and the like. Imagine trying to fight hundreds of structure fires in these conditions?
  19. We ain't paying our $375 mil payroll on those prices
