@cambridgeport90 Ha, ha. I'm just used to open threads on g+ and old usenet. However, when looking at the local timeline, I can't detect it.

@cambridgeport90 Does this conversation go public?

@cambridgeport90 It's funny, I'm retired and do the IT for a 86-ish old guy in a home. I got him (he's rich) a pixel book, and he didn't like it. Then he demanded to have exactly what he had before, and ordered his own hp pavilon. Now, I battle hp, ms, and google. They all want to suck up his data. Sad, and the big win10 update clobbered him. I was forced to enter dark world of ms to fix it. I was a big Unix person, and now run Linux. My kids all went ms. :(

@cambridgeport90
OOO-kay. Open source and ms. My mind must be in the gutter-80's. 😀

Okay, what does 'favoured your status' mean? I did look it up, and --- nada.

@cambridgeport90 Isn't it crap to have to work in bureaucratic ms environment, while all the good stuff is at home? 😜

Natural gas futures curve. All the money for futures is in the winter. Nobody cares about Spring.

Natural gas storage (USNE) is lowest in years. Futures are way up, but if they thought the US would run out of stored gas, then I would expect the futures curve to rise in Feb or Mar.

Today is International Update Your Router Day. I have my own Openwrt router bridging through the monoclone Bell Fiber router.

Cheap folding screens coming soon. :)

Today we discuss the Lapse Rate. This is what they measure with all those weather balloons. It is quite easy to run a model to see if the lapse rate is consisten with convection heat loss, or radiation. NASA is 100% for radiation (greenhouse effect). Who is the winner? I'm not saying for fear of muck.

The end of technological innovation. No more Scotch and THC, my muses.

Showing that world climate *can* turn on a dime.

The Gulf Stream has retreated and this is the new UK.

@SecondJon Engineering is the lowest. I could never get a date, so sad.

Ontario has a climate plan -- giving money to big business.

Natural gas is way up in the NE US. Usually a good indicator on the upcoming winter.

I use Linux, and the linux client whalebird. I just switched all my cat6 cable to the new cheap Amazon cat7 and there is a huge difference.

OMG, going on Public Timeline just gave me a big headache. 😱

Very neat to look at.
