Okay

Fucking crazy

I was thinking because the wreck is still producing so much pollution. I'm aware the weather would have otherwise carried the initial stuff away.

They also sell refurbished business laptops (mostly think pads) for $300-500! Some good specs for cheap.

That’s not how weather works

We here in Maine are incredibly lucky to have access to some of the darkest night skies east of the Mississippi River. I've spent a LOT of time under the stars here and hate the idea of more clusters of satellites zooming around like Starlink. Between that and increasing light pollution, we may not get to share the awe-inspiring experience of a pristine, unspoiled night sky with future generations.

I'm super thankful that the Appalachian Mountain Club has created the Maine Woods Dark Sky Park, and are helping draw attention to the preservation of something a lot of people take for granted. They've got some good info about the importance of dark skies on their website.

Damn , hope Canada is sending Ohio a bill .

Yeah that's ass. I'd love to breath actual clean air but that won't happen. At least this doesn't pose an immediate health risk any more than the asbestos in the air from brake pads

This is what was going on in central Maine on February 10th. That's 2 days after what the map shows. I don't think it's a coincidence

Solution to pollution is dilution. —Watershed mgmt fac in the ‘80s

I can't guarantee they can fix your issue of course, but I've always been pleased with the service at Maine Geeks Iphone and computer repair at 849 Stillwater by the mall.

Spent a good portion of the Morning in Harpswell with my feet hanging over the edge of a small single wide public wharf, smokin a J, listening to Sublime then eating some Wendy's. I'm late 30s, so that really brought me back to my younger days. Took all trash out with my too btw.

Maybe it's just wider now?

This.

I think it's still hard to say if we breathed in a lot of this or not. It's floating higher up as it gets closer to us, moving fast and diluting.

It's not good at all but I don't think we should panick compared to what we are breathing in on a daily basis

I agree we should aim to decrease our consumption of animal products. Honestly its a great way to save money, and eat healthier. Decreased consumption has a lot of benefits even if you you don't care about the environmental impacts.

I think this was released based on the winds right after the fire began. The winds shifted pretty quickly after. I think the fall out was more South east

Choosing less animal products is a lot easier than reducing individual fossil fuel consumption.

Considering that CH4 is more potent and you'd also reduce supply chain emissions it really isn't that hard for the Huge impact it would make

Touché!

Oh nice. I was in chemical operations in the army. I taught some NBC courses as well.

Routine flaring

>Routine flaring, also known as production flaring, is a method and current practice of disposing of large unwanted amounts of associated petroleum gas (APG) during crude oil extraction. The gas is first separated from the liquids and solids downstream of the wellhead, then released into a flare stack and combusted into earth's atmosphere (usually in an open diffusion flame). Where performed, the unwanted gas (mostly natural gas dominated by methane) has been deemed unprofitable, and may be referred to as stranded gas, flare gas, or simply as "waste gas".

Unless you include flaring from oil extraction, which almost doubles fossil fuel emissions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routine_flaring

Edit: There is a relationship between the two as well, animals need to be transported multiple time for slaughter/processing/packaging. Energy has to be spent to maintain safe temperatures throughout for proper cold-chain handling.

You think this is bad? Check out the nuclear fallout projection maps. Going up to camp during a nuclear war isn’t going to save your @$$.

When I moved to Maine from Texas the billboard thing I think I knew about but didn’t think about. After living in Maine for 2+ years… it is another story, I absolutely love it and it is a daily reminder how different my experience is. On the freeway driving to another city, great beautiful serenity. In town, awesome… no unsightly obstacle to worry about when backing out of a parking space or to busy your vision while you try to look down the street at the traffic.

Lol fuck yeah, keep this a thing, I didn’t know how much of a thing is was until I was shown different.

If you value nature, beauty of the land, and just not being constantly pedaled shit from some advertising boardroom then support initiatives to prevent this crap.

Plastic sheeting and duct tape/flex tape? I read that in the event of toxic air you shut off anything in your home with indoor/outdoor air exchange and seal your windows/doors with plastic and tape.
