So Cal has had erratic weather patterns for as long as they’ve been keeping records and beyond. Couple that with horrible water management policy and an enormous (and honestly unsustainably large) population, and we end up with the situation we’re in now. The fact of the matter is that there already not enough water here, both surface water and ground water, and the sheer amount of people and requirements put a massive burden on the system. This is why LADWP’s water wars led to fighting in Owens Valley and why most water has to be imported into the LA basin. And then you have schmucks in the San Joaquin valley constantly trying to take more than their fair share to grow fucking almonds and other bullshit crops that get exported abroad, while charging regular citizens out the ass to take a shower.

Not to say your wrong, but it’s disingenuous to ignore the underlying reality and just say climate change. Sure rising temps are a problem, but at this point they’re just exacerbating an already problematic system.

I’m born late 80s, and I’m fully aware of it, just never had the time to dive in. Nevermind that I rent and erecting a tower would be an interesting conversation, as I’m mainly curious on the hardware side.

Blaming anything to avoid the actual issue: Southern California is a desert with unpredictable precipitation, and the state has allowed wealthy interests to hoard water. Also, maybe there are in fact too many damn people down here.

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.

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.

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.
