**US politics spirals out of control**
#physics #weather **Charts are coming** World temperature charts are coming out for the next week or two. Charts are like ink blots if you don't know the physics behind them. You can imagine any sort of thing, and I won't argue with you, because I am terrible at it.
All the world temp charts have the characteristic of rising a lot up to 2016 and then limping along, usually going down. Like bitcoin. But, with temperature, you don't lose money, you can discuss it forever....
@TheOldGuy Bunch of pansies ....
@zleap How many woods would a woodcock cock if a woodcock could cock woods? ... Hope I'm not banned here...

@MQMLab that's nice.
#physics **Snowflakes** These remain nearly impossible to grow in the lab, except the guy who grew a single flake on the tip of a rabbit hair. The physics of doing it on-mass is amazing, and hasn't been done, as far as I know. Every time you try to form ice crystals, you'll get everything but a snowflake.
Actually doing it would require a hypothesis, and a risk of falling flat on your face. Nobody will do this....
@deNew_John Yeah, we get closer to growing our own poppies and coca plants. We can use the money to offer free alcohol, heroin, and coca tea in safe places. Studies have show that under those circumstances, people can taper off. Mostly, cocaine is used to enable more alcohol.
@jayteeexcel Battery announcements are always here. There is a fundamental physics problem in moving ions -- too much mass. I have faith in super-capacitors -- just moving electrons. As well, this is the 'lightest" I've seen, just a report on scanning the electrodes, no idea on how to stop the imperfections.
@debihope I'm sorry. I've had to put two dogs down over my dog lifetime. The grief lasts a week, during which you'll say 'Never having another dog." Then, the dog addiction withdrawal sets in. I always solved that by immediately getting another puppy, but others may differ.
@TheOldGuy smart cats
@MrsDi @edutooters Although MS has sunk billions into this, I can't see them having a 'first mover monopoly', which ensures high margins. Anybody and their dog can get into the game, and it hinges on the training. I wonder how long it takes.
@commonchaffinch That's to throw a bunch of guesses at a mail server, and wait for the return of 'no address here'. A success is one that isn't returned. You should have put a 'forwarding' on the old email, if that was possible.
@commonchaffinch Nobody does that any more, since this is a standard method to find active email addresses.
@davoloid Happens to all of us...
@singingscience Bigger poisonous spiders!
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.
