Did you know mowing can start a wildfire? When... a mower blade strikes a rock or piece of metal, it can create sparks. During hot, dry, and windy conditions, those sparks can ignite dry grass in seconds and quickly spread into a wildfire. Help create one less spark by mowing responsibly: 🚜 Avoid mowing on hot, dry, or windy days. 🚜 Mow before 10 AM when conditions are cooler. 🚜 Clear rocks and other debris before you begin. 🚜 Keep water and a shovel or fire extinguisher nearby. Make safe choices before you use machinery that can create sparks to help prevent the next wildfire. #OneLessSpark #ReadyForWildfire #WildfirePrevention #CALFIRE #ProtectCaliforniashow more

A large firenado formed on the #Widemouth2Fire in central... Utah, just south of Kanosh in Millard County. The rotating column of fire, smoke, ash, and intense heat was visible from I-15 as the wildfire burned through extremely dry fuels under gusty winds. 🔥🌪️ Firenadoes develop when intense heat from a wildfire creates a powerful updraft that begins to rotate. They can loft burning embers high into the air, rapidly spread fire, and create extremely dangerous conditions for firefighters. 🎥 Paula McFarlandshow more

A simple(ton's) guide to understanding climate change and wildfires:... Yes, the Biscarrosse wildfire was started by a van that caught fire. The flames spread to roadside vegetation before moving into the forest. That is a fact. What isn't true is the claim that this means climate change had nothing to do with it. Climate change didn't set the van on fire. It helped create the conditions that allowed a single vehicle fire to become a major wildfire. France is suffocating under intense, recurring heatwave conditions. The Landes de Gascogne forest has been turned into a tinderbox, where a single ignition source was all it took for disaster to unfold. The flames spread rapidly, burning thousands of hectares and forcing thousands of people to flee. The van was the spark. The heat and dry conditions were the fuel. Hotter, drier landscapes mean fires spread faster, burn harder and become far more destructive. Stop staring at the match and start looking at why it was able to become such a disaster.show more

It doesn’t matter what material you build your house... from, when a fire, fueled by high winds hits, it’s not being saved. This is from a “small” recent fire in Gatlinburg area that got close to a house I owned. Took out quite a few homes. The wind just carries the sparks everywhere and often the fires start at the roof level (not the ground or side of the house). Once the roof area is hit, it’s all over. The fire will burn the house from the inside out. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a metal roof…think of all the wood components that metal roof attaches to and the eaves, soffits, etc. Just one spark can start a fire. When the wind is blowing at 60-80 mph gusts, you’re getting millions of sparks. The fires also get into the tree tops (especially of pine) and then balls of fire can also start raining down in clumps onto houses below as well. ICF, poured walls, concrete block….all irrelevant when you have a massive fire coming your way.show more

The next manipulation tool may not live on your... screen. It may stand in front of you look into your eyes and convince you that it understands. Would you rather face a humanoid robot strong enough to hurt you or one designed well enough to make you trust it? This robot copies blinking, eye contact, head movement and facial expressions to create the illusion of human presence. That may look impressive but it also opens a darker question. When a machine can look concerned appear friendly and imitate emotion people may start trusting signals that contain no real feeling no empathy and no moral responsibility. So which is more dangerous a robot with physical power or a robot that can manufacture trust? #HumanoidRobot #Robotics #AIshow more

We know that some of the issues in Nairobi... are structural and historical, but a good governor must have a disaster team ready to assist when it strikes. A good governor doesn't turn the county assembly speaker into his goon or youthwinger. A good governor can easily mobilise 500 young and energetic men and women to be trained on rescue from each of the 17 sub-counties. We can have a working team to help reduce the pain of a disaster. But a lazy governor hates MCAs who demand that he do better. Nairobi, don't elect someone because he can say TIBIM and TIALALA or he has dimples. Get someone who can make the city workable, livable and sustainable. You only need the city to have those 3 characterestics for you to have the convenience and comfort.show more

Rosemary, coconut and castor - the ultimate hair-loving trio!This... rich hair oil nourishes, strengthens and revives dull, lifeless locks. Packed with natural goodness to help you achieve your healthiest hair. In the winter I use it every week and sleep with it over night with a bonnet on then rinse out in the morning. Steps: 1. Harvest your rosemary 2. Clean and dry it 3. Add to double boiler on med heat for 5-10 minutes. 4. Let it cool then strain and store in an air tight container. Why I use these 3 ingredients when making hair oil at home: 1. Rosemary promotes blood circulation in the scalp, which can help stimulate hair follicles and encourage hair growth. The antioxidants in rosemary can also help prevent hair loss by combating free radicals that damage hair follicles. Rosemary also contains antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help improve scalp health and reduce dandruff. 2. Castor oil is a rich source of fatty acids that can help moisturize and nourish the hair, making it softer and more manageable. It also contains proteins and nutrients that can help strengthen the hair shaft, reducing breakage and promoting healthy hair growth. Like rosemary, castor oil also has anti fungal and antibacterial properties that can help treat scalp conditions like dandruff and scalp infections. 3. Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamins that can help nourish and strengthen the hair, making it healthier and more resilient. It can also help add shine and luster to dull, dry hair, making it look more vibrant and healthy. Another benefit of coconut oil is that it forms a protective barrier around the hair shaft, helping to prevent damage from heat styling, sun exposure, and environmental pollutants.show more

From a Canadian firefighter who knows what’s going on:... #canada #wildfire #smoke (Worth the read) “I know you may know, but people need to know and understand that most Canadian wildfire management agencies have fire “zonation” policies similar to Alaska. This means in large areas of their jurisdictions, especially in the northern part of the country, wildfires are left to run there natural course w little or no direct action or suppression. We’ll protect values at risk, ie. infrastructure, communities, critical habitat or culturally significant features on the landscape, we’ll map them and maybe try to burn them to natural barrier, fight one flank and let the rest roll (limited action) but we are not putting them out. On many of the fires we don’t even try. A number of these fires are huge boreal gobblers (I am currently assigned to a 250,000 ha fire, well over 600,000 acres and you could fit the org. chart on one side of a beer can). The only thing that is going to put out this fire out and many across the country is winter, 5 months from now. It’s going to be a long, smoky summer for everyone. You have a wide reach, it would be great if you can help people understand these dynamics in the Canadian wildfire scene when they’re bitching about the smoke. Cheers 🍻 and thanks.” Pretty decent picture of what’s going on. Thanks for the insight. In the industry we call this letting a fire “Do its thing”. It’s especially common in these vast boreal forests. Siberia does the same thing. Identify hazards and values at risk, mitigate, let it go. Cheers.show more

They have no home to return to, no warm... bed to sleep in, and no voice to tell us how much they are suffering. 💔🐾 When the rains come, they search for a little dry corner. When they are hungry, they quietly wait for someone kind enough to notice them. They suffer every day, yet they continue to trust humans. Please, always be kind. Always be compassionate. ❤️ Whenever you get a chance, give them something to eat. Keep a bowl of clean water. Offer them a dry, safe place to rest. Stop for a moment and show them some love. You may think it is a small gesture, but for them, it could mean survival, comfort, and hope. They don't ask for much just a little food, a little shelter, and a little kindness. Please don't look away from their suffering. If you can help, help. If you can feed, feed. If you can protect, protect. Because every helpless soul deserves to feel that the world has not forgotten them. ❤️🙏 #dogsshow more

This is happening at Panama City Beach in Florida.... Panama City Beach flags are out warning people to not enter the water because of hazardous conditions. Anyone caught in the water will receive a $500 fine. 😳 You can only walk on dry sand. Someone said they got a fine because the water went far enough up to get their camp wet. Some have stated “how are they going to tell me that I can’t go in the water?” 🤯 But many people said they need to follow the rules to keep everyone, including lifeguards and rescue personnel safe. I am for the fines. People need to stay out if the water and away from it during these conditions. Too many people’s lives being put at risk. 💯 What do you think? Do you think it is an overreach to levy fines against people going in the water or do you think it is justified to keep everyone safe?show more

What looks like an ordinary digging job can turn... life-threatening in an instant when underground power lines are hidden just below the surface. As the worker's metal shovel approaches an energized electrical cable, electricity can arc through the air, creating a dangerous flash capable of causing severe injury or even death. High-voltage underground cables are designed to be insulated, but accidental contact—or even getting too close under certain conditions—can result in powerful electrical arcing. That's why utility companies require underground services to be located and marked before excavation begins, helping workers avoid damaging critical infrastructure or exposing themselves to lethal electrical hazards. This moment serves as a powerful reminder that even routine construction work carries serious risks. Proper planning, utility locating, and following excavation safety procedures can make the difference between an ordinary workday and a catastrophic accident.show more

You’re on a journey on this kind of lonely... road with your car and your car suddenly develops a fault, You can’t call for help and your lines can’t be reached due to network issues, what do you do? Except the car will stop and the engine won’t come up again, please reduce your speed and accelerate softly till you get to a nearby town, if it is an overheating issue, keep driving, put the gear in the neutral position and switch off the engine and let the car keep moving, switch it back on when you have to ascend a hilly road and the car can’t move freely on its own again. If the battery signal comes up while driving, chances are that your alternator has failed, or the alternator belt is damaged, apply the same method and switch off your AC, radio system or anything that may drain the battery while driving till you get to a safe place. If it is a flat tyre, maintain a low speed till you get to a safe place to change and use your spare, keep moving. Yes!!! Damage that tyre till you get to a safe place, just keep moving and make sure you have a spare tyre always and it is in a good condition. If the engine suddenly goes off on top speed, chances are that a fuse is damaged and this is why I will make a thread on how to identify different fuses and how to have them fixed temporarily in case of Emergencies. If your car jerks or experiences a lazy movement while driving, it’s likely to be a fuel related issue, fuel pump most likely, switch off the engine intermittently and put the gear in Neutral position, keep moving… if the fuel pump rests for about 5mins, it’ll pick up back when you ignite the engine, this will/may at least take you to a safe place or where you can have access to network to make calls. If you hear strange sounds like knocking sounds or the oil signal starts to blink, relax and reduce your speed, keep moving. Manage it till you get to a safe place or can have access to network. If your gear/transmission system isn’t selecting well, apply the same method, reduce your speed but keep moving, slow movement is better than no movement, your life and safety matters a lot. Please note that there are some Mechanical issues that nothing can solve on the road except patience and just to pray to God for safety and help, for example, you run into a pothole unknowingly and the oil pan hits the road and your engine or gear oil leaks away, or your ball joint or tie rod head pulls out, I’ll suggest you leave the car there, roll up your windows and lock up the car and start trekking till you get network or help, staying with the car may make you vulnerable to attacks or attract unexpected company, just keep walking away from the car for safety. Most importantly, please stay safe and be conscious of your environment. Be friendly with your Mechanic too or any Mechanic you see on the road. Don’t manage faults in cars and risk traveling with it.show more

Most people throw them out but they’ve been used... forever for DIGESTION + PARASITE 🪱 CLEANSING. They’re super powerful but you need to prep them RIGHT. HOW TO MAKE IT: • scoop the seeds out of a ripe papaya • rinse them really well to remove any pulp • pat dry + AIR DRY for a few days (this matters bc AIR DRYING keeps them WHOLE + PRESERVES the ENZYMES — heat drying or blending breaks them down + they won’t work the same) • once fully dry, mix with RAW HONEY + store (I just eat some with raw honey) DOSAGE: start with 1 tbsp per day and work up slowly. WHY AIR DRY? Fresh papaya seeds have a COATING that can block their full effects. AIR DRYING breaks that down + unlocks their compounds so your body can actually use them. WHY WHOLE SEEDS? Because when you grind them up or don’t let them fully dry, the compounds LOSE POTENCY. Whole, dried seeds stay ACTIVE and give you the CLEANSING effect you’re looking for. • “Can’t I just eat them fresh?” → Fresh can work but they’re less effective. Drying makes them more potent + safe to store.show more

How many sandwiches can you help provide today? Donate... here: Every day, The Sameer Project kitchen is working to keep families fed in conditions where access to food is still extremely limited. The daily operational cost is around $8,500-$9,000 - covering ingredients, cooking, packaging, and distribution so meals can reach those who are hungry and malnourished. Each sandwich costs less than $3 to prepare and distribute - like the kofta sandwiches you see here! A full day at capacity can produce 3,000 sandwiches to be given out to hungry families in need of assistance. Even a small contribution is a meal for a child, a parent, and elder, someone who didn’t know where their next food would come from. To donate is to help keep the kitchen running…give to our Food and Water Campaign: Other ways to donate include: (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Food") (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Food")show more

It doesn’t take much water to create a dangerous... situation. Just a few inches can lift a vehicle off the roadway and put lives at risk. As storm systems move through San Bernardino, Inyo, and Mono counties, our region is seeing a mix of rain, mountain snow, runoff, and localized roadway flooding. Combined with increased holiday travel, conditions can change quickly—especially in low-lying areas, desert washes, and mountain passes. Please keep these safety reminders in mind: • Never attempt to drive through standing or flowing water. • If water is covering the roadway, Turn Around, Don’t Drown and choose a safer route. • Expect delays during the holiday travel period and allow extra time to reach your destination. Flooded roads can be deceptive and deadly. Slowing down, staying alert, and making cautious decisions protects not only you and your passengers, but everyone sharing the road. Arriving safely is always worth the extra time. 📍 Sheep Creek Rd x Phelan Rd. #TurnAroundDontDrown #StormSafety #HolidayTravel #CALFIRE #SanBernardinoCounty #InyoCounty #MonoCountyshow more

Introducing RL Environment Creator Skill Now any one can... create RL environments $ npx skills add adithya-s-k/RL_Envs_101 > You can create environments across multiple frameworks like OpenEnv, OpenReward, Verifiers, NemoGym ... > the repo has live working examples of environments that your coding agent can reference > The skill is design to first understand what type of model you are training and create an environment while keeping that in mind ps. There’s a lot more to building RL environments that can be used for training. One major aspect is the data, which this skill can’t directly solve. However, the skill will help with implementing tools, rewards, and other components of an RL environment, making it easier to go from idea to implementation quickly across different frameworks. Let me know if you’d be interested in a detailed, end-to-end blog/tutorial on building an environment and actually training a model for a useful use case.show more
