Great news out of the CDC today. Nationally, SARS-CoV-2 transmission remains flat. A rise would have been reported today if experiencing a "typical" summer wave. If still flat in the data reported on the 24th, we are headed into a different situation.
As a bagged salad connoisseur, I can tell you the Taylor Farms-branded salad kits at the grocery store, the Good & Gather-branded salad kits at Target, and the 365 branded salad kits at Whole Foods are all the EXACT SAME PRODUCT. Dressing, toppings, etc. It’s all one thing
"Just put the fires out!"
Ever seen a boreal wildfire? I have. I used to fight them.
When fire behaviour becomes extreme, you're not getting close to them.
The radiant heat from a crown fire is face-melting from hundreds of metres away.
All attempts at direct attack will fail, because dropping water on it becomes akin to trying to spit on a campfire...it evaporates before it even hits the flames.
Additionally, reduced visibility, high winds, and turbulence makes aerial attack hazardous.
As a wildland firefighter, I've been extracted off of wildfires twice as our fires blew up, both times having our gear burned over. We returned to find firehoses and metal melted into the ash.
I've seen fireballs launched hundreds of feet high, and fires intense enough to produce lightning, influencing the weather around them. I've seen wildfires grow to the size of a major city in a short period of time.
So no, we can't just put the fire out.
Not being able to stop such a natural process is a truly humbling feeling.
I highly recommend building a cr box to purify your air! Either with a box fan (easy and cheap) or pc fans (cool and quiet)! As soon as I get settled in from moving I will make a tutorial on the pc fan cr boxes
At my appointment yesterday the women that was assisting me and I were talking about how it’s so sad what the animals are having to go through bc human animals wanna be on bullshit
Their house is outside like they can’t escape this mess
Americans thinking Canadian wildfire smoke shouldn’t affect them and Canadians thinking FDA cuts won’t affect our food supply. We’re all on this continent together, buckos. Smoke, parasites and viruses don’t care about borders.
