@physics_magazine@mas.to This was a big issue with our nuclear plants and the outflow water. As long it stayed on the top, the warmth went right away to the atmosphere. However, at freezing, the warmer water would dive and kill spawning fishies. Add a billion dollars, and there was an outfall tunnel with pipe dispersers.

**Tanks are just memories** This is a heavy tank war, and the West doesn't have any to spare. All the action went into these 'light vehicles' for Afghanistan. In the 70's all the action was into various loser tank designs.

**The Trillion Dollar Club** Notice that ammie just bought irobot. **A new robot sweeps clean**

**No heat electric cars** My kids have one of the first Ford electric cars. The range on a warm day is 70km. In winter, at 20 below, with snow on the road, it's about 30, if you turn on the heat. So, they are always freezing in the car. This innovation allows you to be a tiny bit warmer with no heat. I can't drive with a frozen nose. :)

#physics #weather **Siberian spill makes California wet** In California, the effects of an earthquake depend on the water table. Let's hope for no earthquake right now.
50% of a storm is the cold side. Right now, that's coming down from Siberia and the Alaska spill is still active. Everywhere else in the world, it's just swirly-mucky.

@WayneCollins Ha! I consider Tesla the same. :)

@frickinLasers Ha, I am contemplating the future of Mastodon. Huge hordes of trolls and only a small vanguard of honourable knights defending the keep.

**Scaling Paradise** I am greatly enjoying this slice of paradise, namely qoto. Scaling is a horrible physics concept. It means that the users are increasing exponentially and that moderation efforts can only increase linearly. I once thought there could be a structural thing, that could change the inevitable finale, but I can't think of any. :( It tends to mean that the weeds overwhelm the garden.

@freemo @copyme@mastodon.online I do know that the old usenet saying of 'Don't feed the trolls' doesn't work. I really don't have a solution.

@finlayd Oh, put in an accelerometer and have contests on who can get the highest rpm.

@josemanuel Apparently, according to an article I just read, all of Japan is cut off from us because they love the porno schoolgirl thing.

**All Glory for Tesla** Wow, I didn't realize the extent of the crash.

Covid was piddling around the world from the late summer of 2019. I got one of the first cases in Jan. 2020, from my brother-in-law who started the Bracebridge cluster. :) It was just a flu then. The article says that other viruses had a physics effect, but covid was under the noise. No philosophers in the media get the concept. The Chinese were just smart enough to type it first, as it blew up.

**Super-Gig Economy** Companies will fire all those working from home, and go for super-short gigs for 'skills'. This won't help them hire the 'brilliants' and they will all go down the tubes. :)

#physics #weather Last time, extreme weather was caused by a 'dancing jet stream' Now, they are into 'straight'. This is the Wednesday dance. On the physics side, the Arctic headpond still builds up, and all the ocean plumes are low and flat. At least the polar vortex fairies are quiet.

@WayneCollins At which point is bitcoin a buy? :)
