So fun being a grandpa. We get the kid all worked up, and then give him back. I firmly believe that parents should bond with their kids, when nobody else wants them. :)

@mur2501 Many thanks.

#physics #weather **Two types of computer modelling** One, favoured by the influencers uses no physics, and is a pattern extrapolation. To get the last warm cycle, they had to input a 'temperature riser' to match the, then current, rising temps. The other type is 'game physics' or modelling using first principles. I prefer the latter, but there is no funding to get it right. I read a paper that did prime ocean modelling. They said that every hot and cold cycle in the past could be explained by ocean currents, but they didn't run the current cycle because that was obviously carbon I hope they survived.

Every Spring, the log deadheads, in the cottage lake, rise to greet the Sun.

@javifields In the 80's there came a flood of emails cc'd to everybody in the corporation. Then mindless powerpoint. I can't decide whether AI helps mindless people or puts them out of business. Hint: mindless people have all the power.

#physics #weather Such a beautiful day in Toronto, took the grandson out for a walk. You can see the mist clouds coming in.

#physics #weather **Long version** I have to do this for my 3 blog readers.

My 3 Mastodon readers can ignore this.

#physics #weather **New cold blob repels ocean wind** This is the same as last time. Quite amazing.

#weather **Check the pipes** My hose nozzle in the garage was pouring when I went to check the microgreens. It was plastic and I was using it to water the greens. Garbage now.

**A Quandry** Is it that people have stopped 'working' from home, or the death of bitcoin? Poll at 11.

#physics #weather **MIMIC is fixed!** We have two cold blobs coming to hit NA and Europe. First - rain on frozen ground, and then a flash freeze.

@kreyren Very well, you may continue to destroy us. :)

@kreyren For anger, we recommend pills.

@kreyren That's too much like Twitter Rage. Please consider this place to be a Jane Austen drawing room. "That interface is a tad too droll." thank you.

@gpowerf That's the standard exit for loser companies.

**Drone Boats** I thought this article was interesting.

**AI dominates Twitter news** Freelancers need the money.

This is a horrible image, but people gotta eat.

#physics **Mouse ultrasound on drones now** This will be the latest thing, next to those useless mosquito suckers. Perhaps they will claim they are good for that, as well.
