Hursty All because its ‘cheaper’ to do it

I’ve heard we’re paying in crypto. So not cheaper, but absolutely free

      Mad_Cyril 😂 The Turks do love crypto even though they are trying to ‘ban’ it

        Amps Controlled burning of the land DOES have its uses….especially here in California, where it can prevent wildfires from going completely off the rails. By burning old growth/dry tinder, it helps to keep the fires from spreading.

        In other areas, controlled burns also help replenish the soil. In the midwest, when a field has been overworked/overgrazed, farmers will do a controlled burn as well, so that when new growth does come in, it’s healthier and stronger.

            Controlled burns were a part of California’s ecology for centuries. But then people decided they wanted fancy houses in the forest and didn’t want to deal with smokey air for a week or so. Now we get infernos. Yay! September, if not sooner, is going to be shit this year, Kels.
              jonattonyeah Ugh….I know 🤦🏼‍♀️ Not looking forward to that at all. It wasn’t as bad here in the south last year, but I don’t have high hopes for this year. We’ve already seen a number of fires. 😬

                Yeah, thats what he is talking about, burning for better grazing, and it can fuck off. So much of Britain is a mono culture due to sheep grazing and grouse moors, it’s crap.
                    The Giant Sequoias also need fires to release the seeds from their cones. Speaking of those, absolutely incredible trees. 9 meters around, 75 meters tall, 3,000 years old. I never thought I’d be impressed by a tree. But you do you, tree. Way to contribute to this country.

                      Amps Ah ok! I read that wrong I guess. I thought he was denigrating it lol
                        I think you’ll find the GREAT BRITISH countryside is the most beautiful in the world Amps.
                          Smallman1 For the most, I would agree with you, but when you realise it looks fuck all like it should due to farming and industry, you you start to see it otherwise.

                            I spent an inordinate amount of time reading about what would happen if we blew the moon up (just for hilarity). It wouldn’t end well so I doubt moving it around would do much good either.
