#physics #weather **Weather Balloons** Lots sent every day, but they burst after 2 hours, and the radio package drifts down. Some people think they can sneak in their stuff, in the crowd.

Weather balloons showed long ago that all significant heat energy is transferred from the surface to the stratosphere by convection, but nasa said differently and everybody just shut the heck up.

*Bing is in love**

#physics #weather **Pacific Storm Factory** It's still at full blast, but the storms are not hitting callie. That change in the Gulf Stream is affecting the whole N. Hemi.

#physics #weather **Pacific Cold Phase** The influencers without physics, have the cold ending 'any day now'. You can see their forecast zooming up. NZ and Australia can put away their sandbags. Good times are back again! Tourists will come!
That's their hypothesis, and they'll never call it that. To cast a hypothesis means you can live with failure, and these people can't. My hypothesis has the cold phase going on for at least 20 years. When will they throw in the towel? Maybe never.

**Expect more accidents**

**Street racing crash** Right near us. They took out 3 poles and one transformer, and walked out of the car.

A black girl from Ghana, part of our extended family has been using hair product since she could first slap it on. Her first baby has so many things wrong with it that the doctors are perplexed. We wait to see if this is a one in a million thing, or the start of a new health crisis. I am worried.

**cheap phone** Just got this. Wife plays these phone games and required one old phone to do 'housekeeping'. She burned out all my old phones. Got this.
I am amazed that it is as good as my Pixel 4, and her S20. The buttons don't fall out! Nice screen for the games. Nice photos. I can't find a thing wrong yet. Maybe it turns into a spy balloon?

@jayteeexcel In Canada, we have a monopoly Loblaw, C. Tire, and Shoppers. The leaders are typical Canadian business people, and they will last a tad longer than US retailers, because of 'no choice'.

@jayteeexcel I'm surprised things lasted this long. Maybe all their 'closers' had covid.

@rdaily At $10,000 a pop!

Influencer: El Nino will come back for Australia this year. End of the rains.

Engineer: About that... Pow!

Yes, long ago, an engineer said "There's a physics problem with Climate Change." **POW!**

**Engineers telling influencers the truth** This also happened with Climate Change.

__One of Twitter’s two remaining principal engineers suggested to Musk that interest in his antics was wearing out, and employees reportedly showed him a Google Trends chart depicting Musk’s declining popularity in search rankings. Musk fired the engineer.__

It's always the same. You have snivelling consultants and someone powerful says "I like overhead wires, it makes it look so Euro." Ha.

**Overhead train wires no good for Canada** Yet, here we are.

@MasterNinjaTS Ah, so that's a Super Bowl.

@Gaythia Wow, you can't even walk past a rail in that time. I'm all for more automatic 'hot bearing' detectors, and vibration monitors.
