@punkscience I know, tweeny-swifties march against space-club nerds. We'll call it 'Glam Side Story'. Raging hormones splashed all over. Horrible!!

@gpowerf No, I meant entering it as a prompt, and the essay comes out. Something like, Using MS Security is like covering yourself with honey in front of a grizzly bear. Then maybe, they would kill the whole thing...

**Swifties go against Muskies** OMG, head for the bomb shelters now! ...

@kmic Was that from the warring city states?

@gpowerf Wait until somebody puts in "Microsoft Security"...

#physics #weather **Conflict between 'New Science' and physics** I'm not saying anything. Those who go against 'New Speak (Science)' get whacked. However, this is all over the news, and I can't find a single chart to support it.

**The problem with heritage** These buildings are all wood, contained by weak brick. Montreal is as bad an earthquake zone as anywhere in the world, and the old city is all on soft soil. The alternative, as with Toronto, is to tear them all down, leave the brick facade, put a lot of steel in, raise the foundations on screw piles, and install sprinklers. Sadly, this does something to the genteel aura of decay.

@SpinozasHeresy They'll send balloons to your friends. Very serious....

@osfast @trinsec You can hang a picture on it.

OMG, my dog loves her little skunk buddies.

**Computing** Just found out that the big Canadian monopolies are being attacked by ransomware. Their solution is to ban sign-ons from outside Canada. I feel like setting up a Tor end point....

#physics #weather **Endless cold blobs hit Toronto** A report comes out today on how warm we are. That should make us feel better...

#physics #weather **Arctic air breaking up slowly** The tropical plumes are very weak, so expect a long, cold Spring.

#physics #weather **Not much change on the ocean-current front** Everything will continue exactly the same for the next year.

#earthquake **M6.7 Ecuador** Lots of soft soils, could be bad.

@mfeilner @torvalds Yeah, now I can brag to my wife about my Nerdochat. Of course, she'll say -- Who?

#physics #weather **Everything's a muddle** No great trends or powerful plumes. And the wind picture changes every day.

#weather **Good-bye skiing** This is a great doomer story, but it's true!

Snow as high as an elephant's eye...

**Real estate going belly-up**
