It looks like they either over-estimated the spread to the east yesterday, or perhaps fought it back to the dozer line. The spread into the 38 to the south seemed like a significant update over the last day, however.

Big Bear residents do have two routes off the mountain right now (either up to the desert in the north, or left to west past Lake Arrowhead), but the 38 is definitely closed for obvious reasons, and the 330 is still closed as well due to the damage the fire caused early on.

Here’s another briefing map. These tend to be updated before the main maps, such as the one on the Cal Fire website. I really appreciate seeing the dozer lines and planned dozer lines as well.

Well, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to update this thread again… but the fire has “exceeded expectations” over the last day or two. As such, here is an updated, tactical map showing the barriers being constructed, and the fire’s progress.

Yup. I love traffic. As an owner of a car I seek out traffic jams daily!

I always think to myself “what if I could be in a bus, and be subject to a restrictive schedule other than my own?” Naturally, I like to seat myself next to the gentleman eating the cat food.

Why can’t cars be the solution? What if we developed cheap, electictric vehicles? You know, like electric bikes, or scooters. This is all theoretical, but some day these could be seen all over!

Maybe with solar power, and other renewables, we can forge a future with cheap tech at the forefront!

No? Okay. I’ll see myself out. Don’t worry, dreamers like me can just find the nearest ditch to die in, rather than you all be wrong about “cars”.

That’s not how this works, but thank you for the silver lining here. People try to be good, even if Elon and Tesla are bad.

I’ve never experienced this… Lol.

I don’t own a cat, though.

Aw, yeah, that’s sick! I also choose this option.

This is especially true right now, when the enormous gulf between the wealthy and poor is the worst we’ve seen in living memory.

People are struggling to pay their rent, and yet Apple is over here selling this bullshit to people.

I was just at the store today, and overheard some kids asking when cereal got so expensive.

It illustrated just how rapidly they increased the prices.

And rice is delicious! I like sticky sushi rice myself. Throw some chicken on there and you’ve got a meal!

Nick Offerman is better than any any “Chad”. He’s an Offerman. The Chad’s wish they could be as dope as him.

Lol I lose it every time the earth benders do their little dance in the middle.

Found it!

I see DND is older than most people think!

Have you looked? I mean, that question is rhetorical… No, you haven’t.

You should check out the competition. Samsung makes some great devices, razer makes some great devices. Even Google makes solid competition, though I prefer others over them.

They notoriously sell older components and technologies in their brand new computers.

I have one I got for free that was made in 2020. It’s a MacBook Air. It has 8gb of RAM… I don’t even know how they found RAM chips that small in 2020. It freezes every day when all I’m doing is running a web browser. This computer was $1,000 at the time it launched.

Apple also holds over 95,500 patents. I will never get why some people defend this crazy company. They make underperforming computers and sell them for wayyy over their value.

I mean, spellcheck does that more often than not.

My galaxy watch I bought many years ago has this same feature, is cheaper, and looks amazing. I got the “classic” model with the turning frame. It’s an outstanding watch even to this day. No lag, great battery, and very bright even in sunlight.
