As a bonus, King's Canyon is also adjacent to Sequoia National Park, which is equally stunning and home to the largest single stem tree, the General Sherman giant Sequoia.

Two fires within pretty close proximity started within an hour of each other. Hawarden fire ~500 acres and Eagle fire ~450 acres. Godspeed to everyone fighting them

Same. Got a Bolt EUV and it's easily the nicest car we've owned. Can't see ourselves ever going back to an ICE vehicle. No stopping for gas, no oil changes or smog checks, and nearly free charging with solar...whole experience has been amazing.

Just like horse and buggy makers doubling down when the model T was introduced

Excited for this! Such an awesome channel, each one of their videos is super well done. Learned a ton about things I never even noticed. Especially liked the Satoshi Kon and David Fincher ones

Same. Casino was a great intro to the more serious tone and Skyfall had great atmosphere. Had high hopes for Spectre but just didn't click for me.

Always uneasy about PE owners since their values tend to be opposed to creating well-liked, sustainable businesses. Hope they don't start gutting budgets, loading up the balance sheet with debt, and siphoning off profits. RIP Toys R' Us.

Really great they turned it into a sanctuary. Hope that adoption bill passes and we can eventually get away from unnecessary animal testing altogether.

Medium roast (full city) beans from the Philippines either via Chemex, AeroPress, or if it's warm out I'll brew some ice coffee overnight.

They chose Long Beach, CA in case anyone is just skimming Lemmy. According to another article, one of the main reasons was to attract engineering talent.

Rivian is based just 25 miles south in Irvine and there's Fisker in LA. Tesla and Lucid have a presence in the Bay area, so could be a play to lure those who want to relocate south as well.

It's a quote from this documentary. Banksy is talking about meeting Thierry, the guy in this picture
