**Irony** I have my summer hut up there, but this is 'pie in the sky'. Mainly, because we have huge iron bands (minerals) in the rock. I've never had a drone using gps that didn't decide to take off. Now I got a drone with no gps. I think you need a 'next generation' of terrain mapping for drone delivery.

#physics #weather **North American pattern continues** Cold, clear air descends, warm air is driven up by a Pacific plume. A big collision in Arkansas. Looks to keep going for a while.

**Current AI boom**

Can't wait for the next AI thing.

**Next winter in Europe**

I give this prediction 80% because this year the Greenland channel was blocked by the Gulf Stream wagging up.

**Stormy and Trumpy Action Figures** Reenact the 'worst 90 seconds'! Anatomically correct, but you need a magnifying glass....

**AI image with his ears pinned back** Or maybe not. Sorry, couldn't help it.

#physics #weather **Extreme Weather** Looks like this pattern will stick all month. The intensity of the storm depends on the difference in temperature between hot and cold.

#physics #weather **Muddled winds** Nothing is clear, the Arctic air is breaking up. I now include 'boiler plate' on the explanation.

#physics #weather **Scientific Method** OK, a major disagreement on the philosophy of the SM. It is my understanding that the SM requires a fixed hypothesis, that follows the current thinking and all laws of physics.
You cast that hypothesis, like plate tectonics, and you wait for further data. The hypothesis stands or falls. The late J. Tuzo Wilson was a consultant to us, and he regaled us with stories of his constantly failing hypotheses. He enjoyed the process of failure, and then he got things right.
I have cast the hypothesis that ocean currents and convection dominate the weather, and I am waiting for it to fail. Then I will do another one. No sweat. No money involved, No personal glory.
The hypothesis is measured by the official world temperatures as determined by satellite. This has been a constant method since 1980. The world temperatures on these charts is going down.
I throw down the glove and wait. Many political organizations cannot take a failure of their position, and there are trillions of dollars at stake. I have nothing at stake.
There are other positions that are not SM. That is the 'Discovery Method' of adjusting explanations as new things are discovered. I have found it is good entertainment, but not useful.

#physics #weather **Oscillating pattern for North America** Cold coming down, then pushed by by warmth, rinse, repeat.

**Leaving** Once again I am leaving. Thanks everybody!

**Air turbulence** This would be a great place to inject some physics, but they can't. The article calls it 'clear air turbulence' not 'Clear air convection'. This was big in the 70's and now is big again. All due to the ice cycle. Had they stuck to the studies they were doing in the 70's, we'd have an easy answer now. However, all this was killed when nasa decided to ride the bandwagon of the popular mob-thought. Fasten your seatbelt!

**Honey, I'm home!**

**Stores continue to driver everybody away** Very heavy snooping, special constables, and packaging that can rip you to pieces. Can't wait to see what's next.

#physics #weather **Arctic winds pour over Europe** The severity of winter is determined by heating degree-days. Europe had an easy ride earlier when all the cold poured over Siberia and gave California a sog.

#physics #weather **Winnipeg no days over freezing in March** This is the reality of an ice cycle -- the long cold.

#physics #weather **Weak tropical plumes** The UK is expecting warmth, but these plumes won't do it. NA is getting a slow drift of Arctic air.

**Toronto wind at 80km/hr** Wow, the trees are ready to break.

#Linux **Zoneminder** Such a complicated thing that it has to be run on its own old mini-computer with no KDE. That interferes with mariadb. So the files have to go on NFS to the big machine full of disks. But ZM can't clean up old files through nfs. So a crontab has to be put in the big machine. ZM can handle files missing with zmaudit.pl

I love running zm on its own machine. The only big trouble is when php is updated, and there is a little trick, which I can never remember, about updating php on apache2.

You can see our endless rain in Toronto. but the file upload is out right now on qoto.
