@trinsec I have my moments...

**AI will mop up the mediocre** I can't stand reading anything from the AI, but the 'essay' format is dead. Nobody reads this stuff. I need AI to run my 3d printer (dreaming!). I need it to arrange appointments, and deal with stupid people. When I'm in the home, I'll play cards with the AI, and train it to laugh at my jokes. It can make movies, and do all the art stuff for me. :) AI can do all the mediocre science stuff, like endless increments. Everybody in Canada will be on welfare. In the US, they'll starve, and die of 'Endless Covid" :)

#physics #weather **No change in Pacific**
Just got the ocean currents map -- no change in anything. The Pacific Cold Phase will continue, and we might as well stop calling it La Nina. This is all being assimilated into Climate Change, as we speak.

#physics #weather **Winds of the Earth**

No. 1 - NA is getting a direct stream from the pole. Very cold, should nudge natgas prices.
No. 2 Asia continues with a much stronger flow from Siberia
No.3 Europe has mixed flows

@AmberWavesofFlame Beats a dress made from ebooks...

@TheOldGuy Was it Friday?

@routez For us in the 80's it was the giant photocopy machine. Then they combined it all, and it was heaven.

@psmaldino There's something about the writing that makes me want to puke. Sorry, but I refuse to read it. Actually, I refuse to read most things, because they aren't much better. :) I think all the intelligence goes into asking the question.

#physics #weather **Extreme cold is climate change** It all makes sense to the influencers.

“we can consider this extreme weather – extremely hot weather in summer and extremely cold weather in winter – as one of the signals of climate change.”

This is the exact same symptom as the ocean currents flipping, and the coming of the Little Ice Age. Of course, this is all due to carbon dioxide acting as a thermal blanket. I'm 100% for this, and I no longer have to offer basic physics.
I will continue to show the charts that the world temperatures are going down, and this is an 'all inclusive deal'. Drink all you want!
In Canada, we will get colder and the Arctic ice will build up. There's nothing that climate change can't do. Just don't invest in an Arctic shipping service.
In the summer, we are free to note that El Nino has been killed by his little sister La Nina, and his body stashed in a snow drift. It's all good! Invest in umbrella sales for Australia.

@newt Wow, I had to click that 3 times to get it.

@trinsec Yes, calamari for everybody!

Oh joy, I have to pick the kids up at the airport today. They've been having a wild time in New Orleans and they have a **SURPRISE!** No, it's not news of a new grandkid coming. It starts with a K and rhymes with 'aken'. :(

@cyrilpedia @gpollara @eLife @ImmunityCP A spoonful of cyanide makes the bacteria go down....

@darryl That storm was fun to watch from the living room, while reading. All the sheltered windows got soaked because of the wet snow. Now everything is ice.

@trinsec @lasermom Just wait a minute...

@pwinn Feed it into another AI to get titles, like Man With a Hamburger Head...

#linux **KDE update is a muck today** Lots of widgets won't work. Not the worst muck....

#physics #weather **Europe is a warmer mess** This is what I mean about it being a mess, but the African air is coming back, and the Siberian air is gone. Lots of tropical plumes up in the northern reaches, again warming everything. The influencers can dance again, the cold air isn't building up, and it will never come down again....

#weather **Toronto driveway cleared** We have the fun that the guy cleaning out the snow-row at the end is always too late. This was with my 6hp Honda single-throw blower which is enough for Toronto. Doing a full maintenance on my indoor sprout farm seemed to be more exhausting, but with limp, flavourless lettuce being so expensive, we all greatly enjoy the microgreens.
