Goats are great.  Low maintenance.  Eat almost everything (except bull nettle and tin cans).  Our herd cleared 15 acres of raw land scrub/yaupon/etc., allowing for much easier work to get dry fuel cut and piled/mulched.

Occasionally, one would get their horns stuck in the fence overnight and coyotes would get a free buffet.  Wandering up to a find a head sticking through a fence attached to a spinal column covered in viscera was metal af.

Spent the last few hours driving around picking up supplies, dropping them off at local churches that are bringing up donations. We’ve got U-Haul’s full of stuff heading up to Pasadena area and all the evacuation shelters everything from board games to pillows, charging cables, clothing, things that these people are gonna be without for the next few months.

We’re staying at the hotel attached to the Pasadena Convention Center.  They are at full capacity.  They could use that stuff.  Thanks for your efforts.

   Anyway, we're walking along the stalls, the wife is feeding each horse a carrot, and I'm calling them by name and saying hello to them.   Usual horse-type names..."Hello Billy Bob"..."Hello Bandit"..."Hello Charlie Brown".   And then I come to a stall where the horse isn't hanging his head out.  The tape on the stall reads "Emu".  Hmmm.  That's a funny name for a horse.  So, in the fog of my exhaustion, I stick my head in the stall saying "where are you Emu" and of course, IT'S A FUCKING EMU ABOUT TO PECK MY FUCKING  EYEBALL OUT.   

You’d be pissed too if nobody even bothered to learn your name.  Especially when Billy Bob and Bandit and Charlie Brown had been laughing at you.

My sister has some goats on her property. They are somehow simultaneously some of the smartest and dumbest creatures on the planet, but they can eat some greenery. We give them the christmas tree every new year, and they fucking go ham on that thing. 

This place in dallas invites everyone to drop off their christmas tree for their goats to feast on

You ain’t livin’ until you’ve flown 50 miles more or less sideways in an Augusta 109, piloted by what I always assumed is a former IRA member, chewing on an unlit strawberry philly cigar and yammering on in unintelligible Irish jibberish about the snotty weather.

I second this. But my example is a C-130 from the Alabama national guard on a waterfall tour in Honduras. I got to stand by the navigator station for that one.

Super Scooper with a drone strike. Made a safe landing but barely. Yay for selfish assholes flying drones in a TFR and damn near killing someone trying to make a difference

dunno if posted, but there may be some financial incentives to commit arson.

As the Palisades fire tore through parts of the Los Angeles area on Wednesday, Polymarket — the prediction-market platform — allowed people to place wagers on certain elements of the disaster.

There were at least nine predictions you could place money on as of Wednesday afternoon that were related to the fire. The topic had its own trending module on the site.

One question asked: "Will the Palisades fire be contained by Friday?" Betters gave it only a 2% chance of happening. (Officials said on Wednesday morning that the fires raging through California were 0% contained. Two people have been reported dead in the wake of the disaster.)

That's brutal.  In a strange way it's harder to watch some of the remaining houses burn than just to see the ones that are already gone.

Hang in there.  Let us know what we might do to help -- local charities with specific needs, etc.

I'm curious how many people will just pack up and leave.  To hang around and see it through you have to eventually acquire temporary housing.  There's already a crunch for rentals.  Then there's the fight with insurance.  Those who win that fight or have the cash to rebuild, you have to find a builder and materials.  I agree: decade(s).

I have more widespread options to donate, but these are dear friends of ours that lost their home.  They were struggling a bit financially before this happened.  Their daughter is my daughter’s longest childhood friend.  Just one option, I have others for more broad help.

What kind of fucking optical illusion is that?

I used to work for a Chicago-based company and spent a lot of time there.  I rarely saw a woman that turned my head.  Lots of "hearty" women there

Can vouch. GOLL and I got stuck in O’Hare for 5 hours back in 2020. So we did one of our favorite things: camped out at the bar and drank beer to watch the world go by, and check out the scenery.
There was no scenery. None. Just large midwestern women. A very depressing flight delay.

I support life in prison for whomever was doing this, along with anyone looting evacuated homes.

A drone’s collision with a water-dropping aircraft fighting the Palisades fire in Los Angeles caused the temporary grounding of all aircraft working that fire and took out one of just the two amphibous planes capable of repeatedly scooping 1,600 gallons of water from the ocean and delivering it onto nearby flames, Cal Fire told The War Zone.

I support a flamethrower in the alley behind the courthouse. I’m sure there’s a dumpster back there that would be sufficient for this pos.

I would think there are lots of drones trying to view/assess the damage.  They obviously need to know to stay out of the airspace because they are hurting not helping, but this is nowhere as malicious as looting.

I went to HS with this dim bulb.  Let's see if we can spot the flaw in his hypothesis.

My contribution to the goat discourse. 

 

goats_ferrari05_m.jpg

My Grandad had two pigmy goats, Billy and Willy, when I was a kid. They were fun as hell with plenty of personality. But one day they went to live with a family friend after my Grandad looked out the window and observed a similar party happening on top of his 1982 Buick LeSabre.

It’s people looking to take photos and video to monetize for content and anyone who needed to be in the airspace professionally has no excuse not to be aware of the order.  There’s no excuse for it and it’s no different than parking a video van or some shit in front of a hydrant so you can get footage of someone’s house burning down. Fuck them in the ass, it’s the same mentality of looking to cash in and on a disaster.
