Depending on local weather patterns

All you really need is a 50a level 2 charger that’ll plug into any 14-50r receptacle and an available plug. You can then use RV style step down plugs and set the charge current accordingly in your app/console.

Most mobile browsers have some kind of “add to home screen” feature that is essentially an icon that links to a webpage, though without the sandboxing. I use them for my bank apps.

Friendly reminder to not install apps on your phone willy nilly and use websites wherever possible, because almost all apps are harvesting your information to sell.

And then you get landlords/complex owners gouging to charge your car.

Apartments are seriously lagging on getting EV stations installed. Then there’s the issue of running power from the tenants meter to a dedicated parking spot (which would require cutting up sidewalks and the like). Even on a condo it can be a mess with the HOA.

There are plenty of landlords that won’t allow a tenant to install an EV outlet even on a SFU.

Literally the definition of a fire sale. Despite the fact that maybe they shouldn’t, the people in these areas have to money to rebuild almost immediately, and they absolutely will. A helping factor here is that the new homes will be built to current code spec, and will likely include improved fire defence measures (concrete siding, metal roofing, etc; a lot of the houses that went up still had wood shingle roofs that have been outlawed in CA for some time).

There is a large patchwork of different firefighting agencies within CA, notably city FDs, county FDs, forest FDs, hotshots, and others. However, when a fire breaks out and gets out of control, departments from all over swarm to help. When the Line fire ripped through my area back in September, we had crews from all over the country.

The problem with these fires is that there are quite a few going at the same time at a time of year where fire fighters are laying low after the fire season, but also too that conditions prohibited flying. On top of which, more firefighters have responded but the amount of damage in the first 24 hours was the most catastrophic, in which there wasn’t time for outside agencies to respond.

First, there are several fires, it’s not one big one. A video cropped up showing a fire starting at the base of an Edison transmission line tower as the start of the Eaton fire. Whether that’s the cause remains to be seen. The only almost confirmed arson was the Sunset fire (Hollywood Hills).

Even then, So Cal is on a record dry streak at the moment, with something like less than a quarter inch of rain since last May. Then the Santa Ana winds came, with a vengeance (75 mph sustained winds in some areas). When these winds come, humidity drops to near zero. All it takes is a tree knocking into a boulder, setting it loose down a hill, smacking a boulder and creating a spark that ignites already dry brush. We are already in the middle of a La Nina year (little to no precipitation), though the Santa Ana winds happen all the time, caused by high pressure in the Great Basin in northern Nevada with low pressure off the coast. Not staying climate change isn’t a root cause of the intensity of these factors, but So Cal has a history of all these conditions.

Any romance language country, really

Cyborgs tend to be that way.

Good morning!

I wouldn’t place blame on realtors, or even the developers. It’s moreso the AHJ (city or county) allowing the development in hazardous areas. But even then, wealthy people will fight tooth and nail to have their beach view in an “exclusive” neighborhood. Realtors and developers are going to make their money because that’s how our society operates, and if they don’t, someone else will gladly do so. Given what these houses sell for, it’s tough to turn down that kind of pay day. It’s really on the city/state/county to prevent this situation, not individuals trying to keep money in their pockets.

When we had no clue, I mean yeah, sucks, but live and learn. But the fact that all of this evidence has emerged and not much has changed is what’s enraging.

You do have to be careful here, because some localities actually require a grid connection to maintain a certificate of occupancy. Title 24 changed in recent years (here in CA), but you may still end up fighting your municipality and the POCO.

Thank synthetic fabrics for today’s lack of durability.

More like the common clay of the new west

Or maybe don’t grow stupid shit like almonds and alfalfa where the majority is exported

Hey now, stealing water from the Owens Valley ain’t cheap /s
