That is some kind of confidence or crazy, very thin line....

If memory serves, that's Dan Osman. Definitely a bit crazy. You can find videos of him soloing Lover's Leap, and the book Fall of the Phantom Lord is a bit illuminating.
Most of the Palisades have burnt (very expensive area). They are saying 1000's of houses. 100's of beach front Malibu area houses burnt. Pretty crazy! Colored areas are heat areas, so some sort of fire at least. Some areas are clearly totally burnt down.

I'm writing this from memory but I heard a podcast about California's fire problem a couple of years ago. Due to watering ban because of water shortage, Californians are not allowed to water their grass or spray down their houses to keep from burning and they don't allow people to stay and fight the fires (Australia by contrast, trains citizens how to fight fires so they don't have as much property loss). Anyways, a company recently offered to build a desalination plant which would alleviate the water shortage problem and IIRC the whole place would then be sold to the state for $1 after 25 years. But, Californians voted against it because some small marine life might get caught in the intake screens.

They were, yes.

Don't see that everyday.
Which one are you taking?

Poor little Elise, what did it ever do to deserve that fate? It wants to be doing this, not chugging redbull and blowing it's shot in a few seconds!

Desalination requires a lot of energy. Oregon has a vast surplus of water and we've already got the infrastructure to get water anywhere in California from lake Shasta which is 95 miles South of the Oregon boarder....300 miles South of Portland.
I imagine the revenue from increased agriculture alone would cover the cost of a distribution system but here we are.
Nice ass!

I'll take the cheapest one there, the 510! Always wanted one and someday there will be one in the garage. The others are just Fantasy Island for rich guys.
