A quick definition of certificate of authority:

A certificate of authority is a document that proves something is real or allowed. There are two types of certificate of authority. The first type is a document that proves a notarized document is real and can be used in another place. The second type is a document that allows a company from another state to do business in a new state.

A more thorough explanation:

A certificate of authority is a legal document that serves as proof that a notarized document is authentic and valid.

If you need to send a notarized document to another state or country, you may need a certificate of authority. This certificate assures the recipient that the notary public who notarized the document has a valid commission.

A certificate of authority can also refer to a document issued by a state agency, usually the secretary of state, that grants an out-of-state corporation the right to do business in the state.

These examples illustrate how a certificate of authority can be used to verify the authenticity of a document or grant a corporation the legal right to operate in a different state.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalgona I just learned about these things. Apparently they’re featured in Squid Game, but I think Squid Game is just a ripoff of the original Mr Beast Games

I learned today the term fight fire with fire comes from the early day of fire fighting when departments would just bulldoze buildings and then burn them in an attempt to stop a fire from spreading. So to stop fire from burning shit they would burn down other buildings in a more violent and destructive way thus lowering the fires moral so much it refuses to spread and work.

I did wildland and most of the time it was controlled burns but it is pretty funny to imagine doing that in a city/neighborhood.

The Santa Ana winds kinda helped with that because it pushed the fire back to where it had already burned despite the news media saying everything was going to get worse like the idiots they are.
