**Forced political innovation** It's never right. With the physics view, rather than groupthink, we should be pushing methanol fuel cells with super-capacitors. That plays into Canada's strength. Lithium batteries are a China thing. However, we must go for the photo ops. :)

#physics #weather **Canadian company can't handle the cold** This is just sad.

#physics #weather **Arctic air building up** Nothing much in NA right now, but we are looking for the headpond to build up. This would be a large amount of very cold, clear air, forming a cold lock, like a glacier. A chart of potential energy would show a build-up, then a release all over us. During the last warm cycle, the plumes would have ensured this didn't happen. Another Texas Popsicle within a week, or a UK chill.

Grandson eating. Those mesh bags are the greatest thing ever! Put cooked blueberries in it and it takes care of itself.

**US makes a good investment** It's the old stuff that makes the biggest impact.

**He breaks a new record!** Yeah! Distribute the wealth!

**Depression hits UK economy** I'm not making fun of the UK any more. I mainly did it because they were founders of the Clange depressive movement. They need to:
-- do physics, there is nothing you can with influencer fantasy
--make cannabis legal -- get away from alcohol which destroys brain serotonin
-- put Paxil in mac&cheese

#physics #weather Nothing exciting. We have a weak cold clipper from the NW hitting the residual warm air. Lots of rain. I thought yesterday we were getting another Texas Crunch, but, no. Instead, another penetration by a Pacific Plume.

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. :)

#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.

#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.
