Descended from Unix freaks, I evolved to Linux. Some people might consider me old at 60+, but I'm suing the world to get my age down to 30.
I have a blog https://ontario-geofish.blogspot.com/
and it is read by 8 people. My formal education is in an extinct branch of science called geophysics. Since there was no money in it, I went to engineering. I've done tunnels, radwaste thingies, etc.

@derickflorian Great, where do I send it? :)
The Stable Earth
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/11/221116150633.htm
The concept of 'Total Disaster' requires instability. The fact that we are here, making fun of Musk, is that the Earth is stable. This is just one of many stabilizing mechanisms that I have found, and that require more physics in the field.
State of the oceans update
#weather #climate #australia
I normally wait for the ocean current report, but I won't do video here. La Nina is no longer the little sister and has become bigger than El Nino. That's very sexist, anyway. Continuing to call it La Nina is equivalent to calling an M9 a microearthquake I am constantly looking for any sign that the Pacific Cold Phase is going away. This type of ocean current change can last for decades or centuries. Poor Australians can continue to grow mushrooms in their hair for the next 300 years. I now suspect this sort of thing was behind the Little Ice Age.
Arctic route freezes again

They may have to close this early for the next decade.

I was awake before the alarm again and I'm not even going into store today (supposed to be day off but Teams meeting - at least it will be in my kitchen for me!) but can't complain too much with this bonus.

Texas earthquake

Just an extension earthquake, but they continue to get bigger and bigger.
@atomicpoet Yes, none of my kids read. Nobody clicks on the articles. :)

South Africa rainy
#weather #climate
I had looked at the historical records and SA was very rainy during the 70's cold cycle.

They join Australia in the La Nina Follies.
Interesting. There was so little activity this morning that I feared I may have been cancelled. I'll check again tomorrow.
Programming the Game of Earth
#physics #weather #climate
All basic physics action is now in games. Nobody bowls, plays billiards, throws snowballs, etc. It's all noses to the screen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream
The Jet Stream is the biggest physics error in conventional weather forecasting. It is plotted with the particle motions of a river, but the particle motions are circular at a tilt. Jet planes can sail this to get East faster. It's like tacking into the wind in a sailboat. This would be an effect when you let your game run, like explosions.

Game Physics for Weather
Cold blobs and warm ocean plumes can be programmed as objects. They have mass, kinetic and potential energy, and vector momentum. They are the anti-tank missile and the tank. Storms are effects of the two colliding. The Jet Stream is a linear storm and does not provide a force to move objects.
@EviVin Yes, we used to do that. Just put a few cm of soil in a pan. When it's done, trim the greens and dump the soil in the garden.
@AJtheEngineer @engineeringdad If you think there is window (leak before break), then use the casters that flip on. After all, there are earthquakes. However, lithium fires are one in million, with no warning. I would get one of those automatic powder systems, and ditch extra combustibles.
@AJtheEngineer @engineeringdad The pallets are wood, for genie sake!
@AJtheEngineer @engineeringdad Sorry, am I imagining you running for a forklift to move a burning battery?
