Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
There are different fires. From what I've read one of them (the Kenneth fire) may have been deliberately lit. I think the Kenneth one is the latest to ignite: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/01/10/la-wildfires-death-toll-doubles-new-fires-spread/
Seems like it's too early to say for some of the others, but faulty power lines are possibly to blame: https://www.latimes.com/california/...res-saw-massive-influx-in-faults-before-fires
First reports of the Eaton fire, for example, came from a couple that saw fire break out from what looks to be beneath power lines. They took pics: https://pasadenanow.com/main/the-moment-the-eaton-fire-ignited

While not impossible there are more likely culprits:

Does this matter (in the debate about climate change)?
Wait, The Raveonettes was your go-to Danish cultural export reference? I guess we are pretty slim in that area.
It's weird, right? Clearly Denmarks prime cultural export would be LEGO and butter cookies, right?
Tuborg Gold.
Thanks. I’d expected something along these lines!
I was thinking specifically in terms of music, movies and TV shows, and we are falling short in that area it seems. If we widen it to all exports, it's Ozempic by a country mile. It was literally mentioned in the very first line of the Golden Globes opening monologue.
Bacon??
Imagine being this skilled at your job. A job that saves lives.
I saw on the news last night a lot of pets perished because it was too dangerous to let people in to retrieve them. Their owners tried to go back for them but they were not allowed because the fire was too intense. Then I saw this when I woke up. Hopefully the death toll isn't higher for humans and their pets.
Awesome drop. And then you have worthless wankers who fly their crappy drones over the areas in an attempt to gawk and damage the precious firefighting aircraft:
It's incomprehensible to me that they would leave their pets at home when there is any risk of it being hit by a fire in the first place.
That was absolutely incredible to watch.
I have a coworker who was in Costa Rica when this all started (she has a dog and a cat at home). I am sure some percentage of people where away when it started. I would hope whoever was pet sitting or watching the pets would have taken care of it but in crisis time, you never know (maybe even their pet sitter couldn't make it to the house).
Firefighters are fecking heroes. Real life superheroes.
Too many vacations, the feckers
Fecking hell.
I see there's another victim here of someone standing on his kids lego with no shoes on
Those were the Hollywood spot fires, I think. They caught the guy at least. He had a welding torch somehow.
That and feeling like the Lego company has shaken us by our ankles until every last cent has fallen out of our pockets.I see there's another victim here of someone standing on his kids lego with no shoes on
A homeless guy had a flamethrower on him?
Everyone will be shocked to read that Elon Minge is blaming the fires on too many women, homosexuals, and non-whites in charge of the fire departments, not to mention the black female mayor (who actually did feck up by taking a trip to Ghana right before the fires erupted) https://www.washingtonpost.com/tech...la-fires-misinformation-california-palisades/
Spot welder
And a reminder that when Trump was President last time he held up emergency funds to California because he didn’t win the state in the election. He’s that petty. I reminded a Trump fan of this last night and their brain got stuck. It’s really owning the libs when you make everyone suffer and die needlessly. #fecktheserepublicancNuts
Second most painful thing I've experienced, number one is a UK plug!
More lube next time, you dirty Herbert!
My feet are the only thing I've ever lubed
They ended up getting funding because people in Trumps camp showed him that the parts of California that were on fire were actually republican areas. It's sickening that we elected him again.
It makes my blood boil that there are people so vile on the planet that they’ll loot from people and businesses whose lives have just been turned upside down and shredded.
These are the sort of apocalyptic scenes I envisaged as a result of climate change in 30-40 years, not now.
My feet are the only thing I've ever lubed
I guess a big toe is better than a micropenis
Failure to lube resulted in a loss of a toe!
Your sex life is wild, man
I wish!
But it is actually true, failure to keep my feet moisturized enough caused a the skin to split under a callous and resulted in gangrene and a toe amputation
Let it be a warning, especially folks who have diabetes, lube your feet 'cos it might feck your feet up if you don't, and in a sidenote to the Heathcare thread, it cost my insurance company in the region of $250K so was almost worth it!
?!?!? Holy shit
