UCLA Climate scientist, Daniel Swain talks about this exact topic during his recent interview with Adam Connover on his podcast, Factually.
Go to timestamp 17:45 and you'll hear Swain talk specifically about how this was a unique firestorm.
Earlier in the interview (around the 12:00 minute mark) Swain points out that it has to do with the increasingly longer periods in between wet and dry periods that are occurring that contributed so heavily to the conditions for a fire of this magnitude becoming more likely to occur, especially when particularly strong Santa Ana Winds occurring this year.
Not sure if these are exactly loopholes, but whatever.
Learning to shave with a straight razor will save you a fuckton of money on shaving products. Shaving soap makes each shave cost a cent at most. The downsides are the initial cost of the razor and strop, the initial learning curve, the upkeep, and the couple extra minutes necessary to shave with a straight razor (it's not too much, but it does take a bit longer).
Learning to roast coffee will cut your coffee costs by 50% if you enjoy high quality arabica beans. Some of the best coffee I've ever had I roasted and brewed myself. The extra time investment and clean up necessary is pretty intensive though, and yeah, there's an initial learning curve and equipment cost (though not too bad, you just need a stovetop, an old school stovetop popcorn popper, and a burr grinder).
God this tweet makes me mad on so many levels. Anyone who has spent any meaningful amount of time in the command line knows this tweet is such bullshit.
Congrats. Figuring out how to get splits to not slide around can be a challenge. Perhaps a heavy paperweight? I went pretty far personally to make sure my Voyager ZSA doesn't move around. Find what works for you, the whole point of these kinds keyboards is that they end up being highly personalized.

Mmm...maybe? I just got back into reading fiction after uhh...almost two decades from the last time I read fiction. I've also been addicted to alcohol and weed in the past. And I've also NOT been addicted to, but used to occassionally enjoy, psychedelic mushrooms. I've also been addicted to exercise, sports, and work.
To me, effective fiction, if comparable to any class of drugs, is closest to psychedelics, and is far less similar to other much more addictive and usually harmful drugs. Both fiction and psychedelics can change your worldview without necessarily having to go through a potentially traumatic experience (though in both the reading of fiction and the experience of psychedelics, it's important to note that trauma can still happen).
Any activity can be addictive. Determining whether an activity is addictive can be based off of whether or not said activity harms your current relationships, damages your physical/mental health, or prevents you from otherwise having a fulfilling life. Thusly whether or not an activity or substance is addictive is somewhat subjective, and dependant on the context under which said activity/substance is participated in/consumed.
Sometimes the desire to obliterate one's sense of self through addiction stems from a turmoil/pain that is markedly worse than the intoxication/numbing they get from their substance/activity of choice. Sometimes there are no support structures or alternative ways of addressing your issues and/or pain.
I'm not trying to downplay or ignore the very serious problem of addiction, as I think addiction pervades nearly every aspect of modern life in both subtle and overt ways, but I do think that we all tend to judge each other for our addictions rather than question why we all seem to have these various addictions in the first place, and I question whether or not our ire and concern would be better redirected at the political socioeconomic conditions that generate these cultures of addiction in the first place.
