**Celebration of Chinese balloons** Google has gotten into the swing of things.

**NERDOCHAT** When I win the lottery I'll put up this instance. Might be a while, since I don't buy lottery tickets.
**Welcome to Nerdochat** all things nerd all the time. Discussion groups:
The lifecycle of the nerd
The horror of prom
Turning 40

In the spirit of being 'clean', we will accept jeers from the influencers like "The world is getting warmer, nerds!' Just as in high school, we'll ignore them and retreat to the Library Club. Just like that club, we'll accept nerdo-girls, but we won't know what to do with them.... or each other.

@chiasm @darryl Just went out to start the hybrid -- all fine. I call this group my 'nerdochat' when describing it to me wife.

@chiasm @darryl My son's early-model electric car is dead east of Toronto. 20 years ago we had this in Cornwall and all the cars had to to the mechanic garages to warm up and start.

@darryl For my daughter we had syncro swim poses.

@TheOldGuy Is that your blind old skunk at the old skunks home? Ours are black with a white stripe.

@mapto I'm sure this has been going on for a very long time.

#physics #weather **Gulf Stream has flipped to the north** Too long for here.

@mtomczak I use the 'bleeding edge' versions of Linux. And I like the latest versions of apps, like zoneminder. This gets me into all sorts of hell. If you can get away with the 'stable' versions, then there's no problem. The lowest, most stable, is a chromebook.

@mur2501 I'm sorry. I'm always quitting social media and I am envisioning my true last post in a very dark room, using AI. :)

**End of reading, end of Google** Obviously, we are going to have the AI play Max Headroom on tiklytok.

#physics #weather **Full wind channel through Bering Str.** This pattern is now identical to the previous series of storms for California.

@mtomczak Sorry, just trying to be cute, since I go through that all the time...

Blah, now I have to be responsible and not buy the Chinese toys I had lined up for the recession. :(

**Many apologies** A single balloon could not have the path selected because of the chaotic winds. However, if you launched hundreds of them, you might get lucky.

**Balloon down** Yeah, if it is just a stupid weather balloon, we'll never know.

@copyme@mastodon.online @freemo Are we talking this type of transparency?

I was vacuuming and decided that the huge fluffs of dog-bunnies were beneficial to trapping more harmful types of dust....

@garyackerman It's ALIVE! Run!

@garyackerman The IT people are creatures of the admins....
