F1 Romain Grosjean crash "about 27 seconds in fire" 11/29/20
I remember the first time I saw him climbing out of the fire and all I could think of was The Terminator. The sound on Eric's video is even reminiscent of it.
Incredibly scary stuff, balanced only by the astounding engineering that kept him alive.
Motorcyclist launched off an overpass
Damn that's scary stuff, boy.
Squadron of Canadair CL-415 fighting fire in high winds
Intense.
Some of those drops were maybe 75-100 yards upwind of the target and still drifted past the fire. In America, I think they cancel fire planes in high winds like these.
That long shot of the fire closing in on the radio shack looked like a pyroclastic flow, not a wildfire. Scary stuff.

O.C.- The Florida Of California
Surprisingly, last week tonight was about this topic. It's so much more ubiquitous than even I thought. Scary stuff.

y'all heard of pandora's box? facial recognition is evil - in every sense of the word - that if it becomes reality, it will become a nightmare.
Bush fire goes from 1 to a 100 in a couple seconds
Those look like eucalyptus not pine trees....but the same process applies.
The heat will not only desiccate leaves/needles, but it will also vaporize the oils in the leaves (needles in pine trees) making even the air in the canopy flammable. Eucalyptus trees are loaded with oils, maybe even more than pine trees. This is also called crowning, a crown fire, or a canopy fire. Once a fire crowns, it's nearly impossible to fight from the ground....or at all if the tree tops are close together.
Scary stuff. Where I live, in the Northern California redwood forests, that canopy can be hundreds of feet high and continuous in places.
That's called "Candling"
As someone who has been evacuated many times and had my town threatened by forest fires many times, I've seen this first hand so many times. It's scary, but can be predicable. Pine needles are very flammable, and at the correct temperature, they dry instantly and burst into flame like a fuse. If other trees are close, they just keep lighting the next one, like match heads in a book of matches.
If you've ever used pine needles as kindling to start a fire, you'll understand this.
Earth at 2° hotter will be horrific. Now here’s 4° +
Scary stuff huh? Science I mean. Just take a seat up on the porch. We'll just work around you.
Like another lemonade?
Earth evolution - its natural not man made.
Scary Tunnel water park slide at Cascaneia
Did you see the water quality in the Brazil Olympics? That's pretty scary stuff.
I don't get it.
What's scary about that?
I thought the tunnel'd be completely dark... or someone dressed as a zombie would reach out screaming at you or something.
Skilift in georgia goes mad
I'm sure there's an "in Russia, ski lift ......'s you" joke here, but I can't find it.
Scary stuff. I'm guessing transmission failure of some kind, but where are the emergency brakes?

The Orville spillway decision making sounded like a plot for a disaster movie with a happy ending. Interesting and scary stuff. Thought it might interest you and @oritteropo

Why this awful sounding album is a masterpiece
Scary stuff.
Scott Adlhoch - Homes for Sale At Grosse Pointe, Michigan
BWAAAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!! Excellent.
Too bad he's already banned, this is almost worth leaving his spam post up just to spread the word about him!
Scary stuff. I guess he's lucky no one caught him on nanny cam and blackmailed him for sleeping with coworkers wives in customers beds. I sure HOPE that's enough for him to lose his real estate license.

Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina Is On Fire

Scary stuff.
Maryland fuel tanker plunges off highway I-95 and explodes
Any follow-up information?
Scary stuff, if the trucks can't stop in time to avoid a highly visible explosion and fire, they clearly couldn't stop in time if traffic stopped. This video should be a part of truck driver training.

This article makes Trumps recent statement 'It will be wonderful when we are one nation, under one flag, with one God.', pretty scary stuff for an atheist, or any non Christian, or the wrong kinds of Christians.
Mike Pence Will Be the Most Powerful Christian Supremacist in U.S. History
Hell of a line, isn't it? Normally I'd blow this off as your run-of-the-mill hyperbole, but it's Jeremy Scahill, which made it a must-read for me. Well worth the time. For instance, I didn't know that Pence was buddy-buddy with Eric Prince himself. Yes, that's Blackwater's Eric Prince. Christian Supremacists with a mercenary army -- think about that for a minute.
Monsanto, America's Monster
Thinking further, the use of chemicals and fertilizers in orchards is more different than I'd first thought too.
If you take an apple orchard, every plant is priceless compared to a grain crop. Killing off insects, keeping exactly the right fertilizer amounts and irrigation are all absolutely required. In grain farming, pests like weeds or insects are measured and the cost/benefit is weighed to see if it's worth the cost of spraying. I'd imagine with a fruit crop, the benefit is almost always keeping your plants as healthy as humanly possible. With grains though guys will often estimate a 5% loss from whatever best is there and decide to leave well enough alone.
A bit of a side note, but the kinds of chemicals guys on the grain side use has changed a lot too. Plenty of chemicals used for killing insects when I was a kid where being replaced then. Farmers here universally remember a laundry list of different pesticides they remember as just nasty and downright scary stuff. The ones available today are far more selective, and for weeds round-up ready has allowed guys to abandon pretty much all other weed killers, and most of those were much more expensive and lingering than round-up.
OK, yes. That's correct. I have no personal experience in grain farming (except corn, but grown to eat on the cob, so that's also different).
I still say the same applies to OVER use of chemical fertilizers and the environment, but perhaps that's much less of an issue with grain crops.
As I said above, I admit that new crop genes paired with new chemicals could produce greater yields on more damaged land. Roundup/roundup ready crops are a prime example of this, as they artificially eliminate competition for the remaining nutrients and root space, leaving it all for the crop. That doesn't eliminate the damage though, it only hides it from the farmer. When they stop working (and they will eventually), we'll have serious trouble.
