I suppose there isn't evidence known now (although it seems plausible there could be) that would lead to Penal Code section 520 applying?
Replying to @khuey_
That's a misdemeanor. Can you find a felony?

I'd probably start with ssd.noaa.gov/goes/west/wfo/s… although I've seen better-quality ones that other people have posted on twitter...

I could imagine having both if, say, the next block has above ground lines and they can run the cable from there.
Replying to @mateosfo
And then once you're a neighborhood with underground lines, you no longer get any fancy new things that require running new lines (like, say, Sonic fiber internet service).

Can you imagine what the neighbors would say about the noise of backup generators given what they say about the noise of cell towers now: youtube.com/watch?v=daareSEw… ?
Replying to @PDChina
Those cars all had drivers behind the wheel who should have been paying attention. Why didn't they stop? They should be arrested for that.

I use two sites: PurpleAir purpleair.com/map?module=AQI… - closest to realtime (if you choose) - densest network in many areas - lower-quality sensors AQICN aqicn.org/city/california/sa… - probably? higher-quality (more official) sensors, I *think* - better worldwide coverage

The plume has shifted north a little bit, with the worst air on the peninsula now focused on north Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Stanford.

Based on satellite images from a few hours ago, it looks like the poor air quality in the Palo Alto / Mountain View / Sunnyvale area is a result of this fire on Grizzly Island (#GrizzlyFire or #GrizzlyIslandFire), not the larger #KincadeFire up in Sonoma County.

Maybe you can get rid of them with: delete this; ? Or... maybe not. :-/

AQICN sensors say SF is in pretty good shape right now: aqicn.org/city/california/sa… (the AQICN sensors don't go close to 0 the way the PurpleAir ones do, so teens or twenties is about as good as it gets) The inconsistency I'm more concerned about is near Dublin / Livermore.

... but missing a huge swath of pollution seems less than ideal.

The inconsistency between PurpleAir's sensor network and the AQICN data today seems... disturbing. (My understanding was PurpleAir used a network of lower quality sensors, with the tradeoff of much denser coverage (and also realtime rather than time-smoothed data)...

If you want more detail, start from the QR code on nitter.vloup.ch/CALFIRELNU/statu… which leads to a folder of documents such as app.box.com/embed/s/0bzlphu7…

At the time I made the polls I think I would have voted Brandenburg & Daxing. I think I still would.
Replying to @khuey_
In any case, the "open first" is now pretty clearly decided, and the majority vote was right.
Beijing Daxing International Airport sent off its first international flight bound for Bangkok on Sunday morning, marking the beginning of its official operation of international business.

Ah, makes sense now. Good luck with the power and with hosting a bunch of family, and try not to breathe too much of the smoke.
