No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Partially, yes. They allow Nestle to absorb a HUGE amount of their rationed water supply. Nestle doesn't need to exist in California. It can exist in literally ANY state, most of which have no water shortages.
I'm not saying it's an instant fix. I'm not saying boot Nestle and you'll not have fires. But what I am saying is they'd have a more efficient firefighting crew if they didn't have to worry about water shortages as much.
Another thing they just straight up shouldn't allow is grass lawns in the part of California where the grass doesn't naturally grow. There as some people, basically living in a desert, who import grass and use their rationing of water to maintain their unnatural grass lawn. And this isn't the same as having a grass lawn that's a little dry so you give it extra water. This is grass that just isn't supposed to grow there, and CAN'T grow there.....so they artificially enhance it's ability to grow. If you're grass can't maintain itself using mostly just rain water, then it's not in an environment where it should be living. That's just depleting the already limited water rations. You don't see Nevada trying to pretend they live in Michigan.
Not to mention PG&E causing 1500 fires in 6 years.
