@ambulocetus No, I think the oligarchy is composed of those who can write. Maybe AI can bust this. :)

@triptychphrases Isn't the only arable land in California comprised of basins?

@goldclusters I'm just going by the lectures on basic physics, and his famous Shuttle o-ring demonstration. He inspired me for basic physics.

@goldclusters He was the last 'general physicist'. Everybody has to be too specialized now.

@medigoth Those people had integrity. Not now.

@seedyh Sleazy Sushi! My dog would love it.

@nomi Boxes hauled to the back shed
Bloody heavy with stuff never used
Ouch my back!

@AndyLowry Wow, what card tricks you can do.

#linux **Losing the bluetooth keyboard** I have a small media computer on the big screen, running Debian. I was then trying to get the upstairs Android tv to work, and to clean it out. Those things are cheap because they preload with everything, probably for a kick-back. Anyway I foolishly took my little bluetooth keyboard/mouse upstairs and paired it to clean it up. Took it down again, and it didn't work -- surprise! I only had one usb keyboard and no usb mouse. Finally used ssh and bluetoothctl to hook it back up. Lots of walking back and forth between one computer and the tv. It's complicated. All works now.

#physics #weather **Numerical Problem**

She says 10 times, the met says 160. Even the physics approach predicts more big heatwaves. As the oceans shut down, the plumes become too weak to clear 'solar furnace' heat waves. Super-hot, but short summers, like the 70's

#physics #weather **Arctic spills in the news** Ha, no news, but the Siberian spill is now the most powerful I have seen in terms of energy -- M9 spill. However, a new spill is opening up to the UK -- M3. There are no other spills right now. It is expected that other spills would drain the system, thus ending the California disaster.

**The cost of going after someone**

_As a result of the most boneheaded unforced error I have ever seen, the Ontario College of Psychologists is about to propel his already ascendant career into meteoric orbit._

#physics #weather **Cooling Credits** It's a fine sign of the times.

#physics #weather **Dancing jet stream** Whoops, just a few days ago, it was a straight jet stream causing extreme weather. I just can't figure it out. :)

@lurker @trinsec Ok, go shopping with her to buy those clothes. Thank goodness I'm colourblind. :)

@freemo Such a setup, and I'm not saying anything.

#physics #weather **December ice plot in** I can see it is going up, but nobody else can. It's a vision thing.

#physics #weather **State of the ocean** No change, so I'll just leave it as a blog.

All the cold Arctic air is sliding over to the Siberian side, and there's no news there. So, we have a mild winter -- Yeah!

**Still not seeing a recession** I would have expected to see some sign of it, like all the small businesses in the industrial condos. No house sales in the neighbourhood.

#physics #weather **Cold blobs dead** They've been hit and shattered by ocean plumes. Except the Siberian flow. For a good M9 blob, you need to see powerful laminar flow behind it, and the others didn't have that. Siberia is going to extreme cold. NA has a Pacific plume schlooping over the mountains, so that is warmth.
