Best fuel for molotov cocktails is diesel. Spreads flames and doesn’t explode in your face as soon as you light it. if you only have gasoline, and alternative method is to get some styrofoam and mix it with the gas until you get kind of slurry/gelatin. This is essentially napalm - well lets just call it for what it is: its actual Napalm. Don’t get it on you. It is sticky af. You cannot put it out either until its done burning. I think there is enough O in the styrofoam to keep it going even submerged. Very nasty but effective. It also will not explode as easily if mixed properly, so safer than molotov with gas (if safety is a priority). I would reserve these remedies for only the most stubborn wasps. Basic brake cleaner is super effective without even lighting it! Go with that first.

Earliest heat wave is Feb 2020.

Does that mean we revert to colder anomaly or does it mean less hot anomaly but still hot anomaly? We need the northpac to cool off obviously but until I see the blues of its hues in current pac ssts anomaly, don’t know if that map means much.

My lawn is toasted. Straw. I threw in the towel already.

Both parties have issues will alternative energy. The right doesn’t like renewables and the left doesn’t like nuclear. So don’t make this about politics. That forum got spiked for a reason.

Brown coal in China. Rural China reeks of coal. I’d say 200 mm rural Chinese rely on coal to cook. Still.

That was real WTF situation. I ran out the house. Today was mild - felt it tho. Could have been a truck in my mind I suppose but these go on for like 10 seconds. we need a quake thread if this keeps up

My son reported feeling it HPN

Canadian forests are massive. Like, some of the largest on the planet, maybe even compare to the south american rainforests. Forest management on a continental scale literally. Fires are not new either.

Someone with the best seat in the house…

Parts unknown…shawagunks sunset tonight.

No rain. 71 here.

Mines open now. Just humid here.

Eh…I’m not sure we get much at this stage. I just fearlessly walked the dog without an umbrella. It’s a bit humid is all. Not over yet, but this isn’t our show.

It’s here raining but the heavy stuff is north and south, and the south stuff is hitting a wall it appears and won’t get up here even on an ene heading.

Whats up with this quake and Tsunami threat in the Pacific? Seems bad!

RIP JBurns

It’s like God got blocked by a cloud. I can almost hear the heavenly host choir of angels singing a c note in harmony without taking a breath.

This cool spell is just in time - one of my mini splits took a shiz. Under warranty thank Christmas. The hvac firm is bringing me portable ACs as a loner so wow great service.

Gigidy

I buy stocks in companies I use a lot to sort of pay myself back. Its never enough to cover what I spend, so the dividends are like a small rebate. But its something. We can choose who our energy suppliers are, but not the transmission part, and thats where we get hosed.

We are having regular bear appearances down here to the point where it’s not even news - they are on peoples ring cameras every day. We lock up because of thieves so no bear fridge raiders thus far. In fact, they seem to stay out of the trash, too. Must be some good natural vittles around. Bobcats, bears, coyotes (millions of those). Every day I see one of these on someones ring in my small town. Yet to see a bear in person tho. The others all the time. And the rabbits, holy shit the rabbits. Theres a million people in this county and somehow we have an explosion of wildlife thriving. I’m cool with it. Coyote fucked up a neighbors dog and chewed the guy up a little bit. That was on my block in the winter. People carry because of the coyotes now.

JHC I just was waiting on a train platform up here and sweat beads were instant. 10 min train delay metro north. At least the trains work. I picked the wrong day to host a dinner in the city. Damn.

Yep. Those trees block the snow too. So they say.
