@adamrichard My tip that has a 20% placebo rate, is to saturate yourself with crude Cannabis oil with a 4%cbd 12% thc, or visit Canada. With long covid, you pick up a vicious spiral of chronic inflammation. A specialist might saturate you with steroids.

@deNew_John But, can you buy it from a vending machine?

@SETIEric My dog had one as a pet in the backyard, until I closed off the hole. She knows who's boss.

@cajun_cheechako You are getting all the storms that were going to California.

**Madonna tickets at $6K** The normal routine is to set a 'social' price of 20 bucks, then rig the system so that 'certified resellers' get them all. For these guys, like TS, they should just set all prices at $6000 each, then cut the prices every day. You wouldn't destroy the Internet that way. :) I'm glad I'm too old for concerts, although if the real 'skinny Elvis' showed up, I might be tempted.

#physics #weather **La Nina Forever** I think someone tried to stop the tides once. It didn't work out for him. The first picture is the usual fluff. The second is the ocean temps that haven't changed for a year. The third is the latest ocean current gif, which hasn't changed for a year. Someday, the influencers may 'ghost' this whole La Nina thing, and the poor Australians will be sucker-punched. :)

@jsy1001 Then even smaller pilot-pilot holes. :)

@jsy1001 You should drill a pilot hole them. When the bit hits the brick, it will slide, crushing the plaster, making a mess.

**Beyond the Stupidity Defence** This is the "Buffoon Defence" As in 'Just because I'm waving a loaded gun around, doesn't mean anybody thinks I'll fire it". This is fairly close to an insanity plea.

@mandlebro I've given up soldering copper plumbing at the summer hut. I use shark bite for everything now.

@mpjgregoire@mamot.fr @lupyuen Everybody I know on the 'left coast' bounces from one big tech firm to another. The fact that they are all laying off suggests an effort to reduce wages. :) Or it's just 'monkey see, monkey do".

#physics #weather **Siberian air finally hits Europe** That cold air has been stopped many times by ocean plumes. Also, most of the plumes have been stopped in the Arctic, except for one from Siberia, which is pushing a cold-air blob to Toronto. Once all the plumes have stopped, it looks like the Arctic cool pool will start filling up again.

@MasterNinjaTS And to add to that, Amazon lost my delivery! :)

@MasterNinjaTS Layoffs never work, but they need to be seen to do something. It's a bit of a fad.

@rastinza @Iwillyeah I might try buying 'peeled tomatoes' and puree them with a hand blender.

#physics **Indoor air quality** For those being forced to go back to work. From the experience of my neighbours, you'll be back sick from covid a week later. I am impressed with a new generation of air quality monitors, at about $40 cdn. Quite the competition, so it will be going down.
I had the dubious honour of being in the first of the 'new wave' efficient office buildings in the 70's. Many people had to quit their jobs because they got so sick. For huge floor of 500 people, they recycled all the air through cheap filters, and had an opening of less than a sq ft for fresh intake. It was a soup of disease.

#physics #weather **Empty Arctic gets attacked by sharks** The pattern this year has been for the Arctic to fill, like a pool, with extremely cold air, and then spill it all out in high-velocity channels. Now it is empty, and all the plumes are coming in. We don't know if it will start the filling process again.

@Iwillyeah @rastinza When we can we use ripe tomatoes and mix in other surplus veggies, like zucchini. Then we puree it all with a hand blender.
