*Bing is in love**

#physics #weather **Pacific Storm Factory** It's still at full blast, but the storms are not hitting callie. That change in the Gulf Stream is affecting the whole N. Hemi.

#physics #weather **Pacific Cold Phase** The influencers without physics, have the cold ending 'any day now'. You can see their forecast zooming up. NZ and Australia can put away their sandbags. Good times are back again! Tourists will come!
That's their hypothesis, and they'll never call it that. To cast a hypothesis means you can live with failure, and these people can't. My hypothesis has the cold phase going on for at least 20 years. When will they throw in the towel? Maybe never.

**Expect more accidents**

**Street racing crash** Right near us. They took out 3 poles and one transformer, and walked out of the car.

A black girl from Ghana, part of our extended family has been using hair product since she could first slap it on. Her first baby has so many things wrong with it that the doctors are perplexed. We wait to see if this is a one in a million thing, or the start of a new health crisis. I am worried.

**cheap phone** Just got this. Wife plays these phone games and required one old phone to do 'housekeeping'. She burned out all my old phones. Got this.
I am amazed that it is as good as my Pixel 4, and her S20. The buttons don't fall out! Nice screen for the games. Nice photos. I can't find a thing wrong yet. Maybe it turns into a spy balloon?

Influencer: El Nino will come back for Australia this year. End of the rains.

Engineer: About that... Pow!

Yes, long ago, an engineer said "There's a physics problem with Climate Change." **POW!**

**Engineers telling influencers the truth** This also happened with Climate Change.

__One of Twitter’s two remaining principal engineers suggested to Musk that interest in his antics was wearing out, and employees reportedly showed him a Google Trends chart depicting Musk’s declining popularity in search rankings. Musk fired the engineer.__

It's always the same. You have snivelling consultants and someone powerful says "I like overhead wires, it makes it look so Euro." Ha.

**Overhead train wires no good for Canada** Yet, here we are.

**Empty venting** With the bird, it was easy to make up sock puppets and vent -- one way. And you could have fun with death threats! I never went for this. Here, it takes more effort to sign on, and you create an identity for many servers. As you go on, it becomes more difficult to issue a threat anonymously. I am quite happy with that.

#physics #earthquake **Properly rebuilding**

#physics #earthquake **Turkey looks stable** Minor aftershocks. They are clearing the rubble, and will rebuild. I hope they invest in real concrete and deep helical piles. You can only build in the flats, and that amplified 10 to 100 times. You need piles and very stiff buildings.

#physics #weather **North America mild** The Pacific storms continue to hit Vancouver and spill dry, warm air over the mountains. Without the Arctic spill they would have their normal pattern of hitting the Yukon and dragging down cold air, as a clipper.
