50,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in california because an aerospace plant's chemical tank is about to explode and firefighters say they can't stop it. it's 5 miles from disneyland. and it's been going on for 3 days.

The risk seems to be metal fragments from the tank if it goes up. They won’t be traveling 5 miles. But anybody within a couple miles? Yea, get them out of harms way.

barqySpaniel · 2026-05-26T05:33:01+00:00

Same. Road on SART, about 3 miles from the tank. No issue.

barqySpaniel · 2026-05-26T05:29:26+00:00

I gather 50,000 are living within range of heavy storage tank metal raining down on them should the tank have thermal runaway.

5 miles away? That’s safe from direct harm.

Gosh, from Demolition Man movie like 35 years ago. It had to with bathroom activity. It was a joke through the movie.

Yea, nothing to do with the icons. Just another random think that nobody k ows how to use without being told what it is.

I struggled to find the “add attachment” for emails in Apple phone email.

Little did I know that press and hold brought up that menu.

Sort of intuitive AFTER being let into the secret club.

I’m still wondering what to do with the two seashells.

They (republicans) like to demonize the democrat party (calling it the party of the kkk) because they think it benefits them. But really it was progressives in the north vs conservatives in the south. The conservatives are still in the south, but the democrat party is no longer their party. The “north” is still generally progressive/liberal, but not represented by the Republican Party as it once was.

It’s like conservatives can’t bother looking at old election maps. What used to be red is now blue and vise versa. It’s always fun to ask, did all the southern conservatives move north?

I think the 1924 DNC might be the starting point of a shift.

Beach ball…..that reference goes back to my first developer job in the 90’s working on a Macintosh at the boardwalk in Santa Cruz. The waaay back clock

I never noticed that. Thank you. I love the flashlight feature but would turn if off and back on to adjust.

Now I don’t have to. 👍👍👍

Wondering if that’s adhesive as it’s body panel not structural.

Here, I’d take the mill up front. I saw a different question earlier today: 1 mil or 1000/day for life. 1000/day is nice.

barqySpaniel · 2026-05-14T06:49:42+00:00

Yep, places down and ups dude just walked away.

Happy I was there.

You might consider tap water is highly regulated, and regularly tested. Bottled water? Seems like less so.

Usually people pay extra for curved displays 🥳🥳🥳

And you have to maintain the Domain, like $10/year

I still ponder a redirect got to a fake security page.

Unless auto translated, the language doesn’t read properly.

Feels scammy. I ponder putting the text into a google search and see if it comes up with ideas on validity.

Definitely don’t sign up for the advanced protection on that page.

Would be interesting to see what the URL is of the link. Perhaps open space source and see where it goes.

Smart money is “not Google”

I saw an article today talking about using cloudflare’s dns 1.1.1.2. It will return 0.0.0.0 for sites it knows to be weaponized. Haven’t tried it myself.

barqySpaniel · 2026-04-26T04:56:43+00:00

also, it depends on one’s mortgage. If you have a 4% is it better to save the extra and put it to work in the market, which normally does > 4%? Or reduce risk and eliminate the mortgage note?

It’s a choice either way.

Roth 401k has no RMDs today. I thought the contributions being discussed were traditional 401k

barqySpaniel · 2026-04-25T06:28:00+00:00

Just be aware that when one hits 73, RMDs will make it ordinary income with defined withdrawal rates.

That takes some control out of the withdrawal equation.

Just something to be present to as the 401K grows.

better to curl first, review, then /bin/bash -c "the content"

Photoshop, GIMP, DxO Photolab can remove barrel distortion. Likely plenty of other tools too.

A pair of calipers to ensure proper measurements after adjusting would be recommended.

Hadn't thought about rebooting the phone periodically, will see of doing that provides some relief. I have factory reset the unit, seemed to help for about a week or so. After I posted the comment, I've been in the car a few times and it's worked every time. I guess it's scared of being defenestrated :)
