In fairness, that could be said of some of the know-it-all summaries as well. 😅

Jesus Christ, it shouldn’t be squeezing through such a small gap in bollards on a fucking road.

...

Still not an excuse, it should have seen it

Everything about this was still very bad obviously

In fairness, I feel that sometimes.

The claim “increased safety” is rather ironic in light of the post you’re commenting on.

Not really?

Are we really so blinded by (understandable) Tesla hate that we're reducing ourselves to anecdotes to counter data and studies, the thing we've been complaining about from conservatives for decades now?

Zen, though I think that's basically Firefox under the hood.

People have a legal location of residence in the US.

In California, if you're homeless, you typically have to set your mail up as "general delivery" to your nearest post office where you go to collect mail every few days. You probably don't have any other address.

Not sure how this interfaces with this specific law otherwise, but using a post office isn't a bad idea generally because it isn't a totally unexpected thing. A homeless person would probably list that as an address.

There's also a lot of mail services that will give you an address in that state and will open/scan received mail for you... not sure if California specifically has one, though. But yeah, this doesn't establish legal residency at all, but many entities don't look too closely either... might be worth a shot.

I'll literally change banks over that kind of thing now.

There are also plants specifically adapted for wildfires. Sequoias (and I think redwoods) need them to open their cones and they can't propagate in their own leaf litter, they need to be cleared by fire.

I'm not going to find them now, but if you're interested, there are a lot of studies that look at how money moves through the economy and which dollars are more impactful. While dollars saved do get reinvested in a roundabout way, their economic impact is pennies on the dollar compared to direct spending or investment into business. It's just far better for any market economy to prevent dollars from pooling into savings beyond simple prudence and is far better to put them directly to work via spending.

Even from a capitalist perspective this makes sense. Money pooling at the top is money not moving through the economy; 100% taxes encourage reinvestment and philanthropy to avoid the tax.
