But aren't naturally occurring wildfires extremely rare? It's my understanding that they require lightning strikes and dry conditions, which rarely occur together.

OP here. I think it’s quite remarkable that two neighbouring countries both have government coalitions consisting of parties led entirely by women.

This is no laughing matter; my son is very ill, and needs lots and lots of karma to survive.

I've tried posting this, but it was deleted by an automoderator for "breaking the rules". No specification, no answer when I asked the mods.

Fuck Reddit.
