@TheOldGuy He certainly wasn't going to read them!

**Don't buy that whiskey!** It's all the rage in California. We got some for our Callie kids when they came home. A few steps down from Musk, but it's straight from the still. Burns like a sun of a glitch all the way down, and then explodes.

**Water runs out for Arizona** I remember 30 years ago in university that they predicted this -- too many people and no water. However, everybody is falling over themselves saying 'there is no signature of climate change' whatever that means.

#physics #earthquake **Thrust at termination of rift** This indicates a very messing ending of the rifting for the large quake. Thrusts give the highest pgv pulses with the most damage. This is a classic '10 years of terror' scenario. I was expecting a large cross-fault like the upper fault to dissipate the end stresses.

#physics #weather ** Due to the Pacific air rolling over NA, everybody is saying what a mild winter we've had in Toronto. However, that air usually attacks the Arctic air mass, and it hasn't. The Arctic air is going back to 60 below, and so we'll have a very long winter.

#physics #weather **Classic Pacific Pinwheel** This pattern of the Pacific plumes always brings up warm air from the Gulf. This clashes with all the cold air and makes for a good snow storm in Toronto.

@braindouche We have the case of a person stopping for ducks and killing a few people. Not a good ending.

@DavidDvorkin Don't forget the 'Eject all humans chute'...

@braindouche Oh, do that dna test which is always wrong - black ancestors -- whoops, wrong. A bit of caveman, which is me before coffee....

#physics #weather **State of the Oceans**

A small chance that the Pacific cold phase is slowing down, but it still will be cold until the end of the year. I hope it switches for my Tahiti trip.

#earthquake **M6.4 collapses more buildings** This was an absolute certainty that there would be an earthquake here. Accelerometers are the best to tell how close a building is to collapse.

#physics #earthquake **New earthquake where I thought there was a stress imbalance** This is thrust in a rift, so I am flabbergasted. If it extends left and right, then it is what I predicted.

**Tahiti** Anybody know anything about travel there? Looking for a catamaran and hotels in September. Many thanks. First big trip after Covid.... Yeah!

**Large mass of cold air still active** It seems to be warming from 60 to 50 below. The area above Iceland is closing in with cold.

#physics **UVC and Covid** I'm surprised that the medical power group is still going for hepa filters when this is the way to go. I think their filter views are an extension of masks, which are generally useless.

I've the UVC/titania filters in the house. They give a fresh outdoor feeling and may be the answer to indoor air problems, especially that 'dead air' feeling.

@airfoils Our most deadly drink is vodka and Baileys. Goes down like chocolate milk.

@kmic I'm on my 3rd (4th?) day of cabbage roll casserole.

@ambulocetus Get another employee, he'll do the same....

It's an EM blast.
