#physics #weather **UK gets the full blast** This is what I was talking about when I said they would get what they had last time. That's the 'full stream' pouring over them. Very nice winter pictures. Of course, this is 'extreme weather' predicted by 'clange'. I hope all their 'warm weather dancing' is keeping them warm. :)

#physics #weather **Washpost turns on forecasters**
“You have no idea come Dec. 1 what your winter is going to look like because our seasonal forecasts are so bad,” said Jeffrey Mount, a senior fellow with the Public Policy Institute of California’s Water Policy Center, in an interview. “They are just not reliable enough to make definitive water supply decisions.”
This is funny. And, of course, the guard turns to climate change, and 'they saw it coming all the time'.

#physics #weather **California storms run aground - two new storms form** Last night, I was haunted by the image of 3 perfect storms. Now, they have mucked up a bit.

Ha! It was a spike.

**The Anti-Influencer** Even though my blog hits are a random spike, my brain went on a flight of fancy while walking the dog. Every influencer is a whirlwind of energy. How could I have an influence for the Scientific Method, while getting lots of money and not doing any work? I came to the conclusion -- No chance! So, the people are fed the pablum by hard-working influencers that ooze charisma. Those rains will stop for California and Australia, and I' walk my dog. :) ps. Here in Canada, the calicanes will cause an 1830 'Endless Snow'. Fun.

**Into the big time** Yeah, the people of California are tired of being fed pablum. Or, it's just a ton of link spam. :) But my blog has gone from my usual dozen to a lot. Drat that every time before, it's garbage. :( Anyway, my brain hurts from thinking about all that, so good-bye for now.

#physics **3d printing with AI**

In a couple of years, the Good Dr. will be able to buy a 3d AI bobble-head of himself as a wizard. Right now, both AI art, and 3d printing are 'meh'. But, what great things can be done with it combined?

#earthquake #physics **Water-activated earthquakes** The earthquakes in Texas, and formerly Oklahoma were acknowledged, even by the powers, to be activated by water injection. If all those lined-up storms dump on California, the hypothesis is that there will be a noticeable increase in earthquakes. The odds of a big one remain the same as always. (just said to cover my sensitive parts). :)

#physics #weather **North America can now do the warmie dance** We are getting the residual of all the California storm action. There is a lot of fantasy on the headlines and I have no idea what chart it comes from.

#physics #weather **Europe besieged by cold air** Being hit from all sides. End of the warmie dance. You do physics, or you don't. I just read a magnificent article denouncing all this physics stuff. The best influencer ever, and so, I am a tiny bit more quiet today.

#physics #weather **Calicanes -- three bags full** Three calicanes still stuck on approach. The cold gyre has moved down to Hawaii, making room for another storm to form. Rain for another month, at least.

#physics #weather **California** Just had a grandson chat on the ammie thing. They are in endless rain, sometimes an inch an hour. One side effect is that there are potholes on the main highway that can swallow your car. She blew out two tires, and you can't avoid them being sandwiched between two trucks. Luckily, she has the 'run flat' tires so you can limp home, but the downside is that they are tough to replace. The common idea is that it's all over in a week, and I said 'yes' to their hopeful faces. Really, it's a 96 year record broken. I'm not telling them they have weeks of more rain.

**Populist Science** I am so happy to be on qoto, which is definitely not populist. I really thought it would all be destroyed by now, and I was wrong. I enjoy 'Populist Science' but I enjoy the Scientific Method more, but that's for another day. I still think I have as many readers as my blog (breaking into double digits!) and that's ok. I attribute the fact that the populists have stopped using 'lazy rivers' for the California disaster, to somebody reading me. **Don't shatter my dreams!** I'm signing off for the morning, since my brain has to go into the deep dive for sleep tonight.

#physics #weather **Siberian cold stream moves in on Europe** That air is 60 below, maybe colder, and is controlling the N-hemi weather right now. The MIMIC shows how fast the front is moving. Ukraine at 60 below will be a 'cold war'.

#physics #weather **Exxon Knew** This is conspiracy at its best. It implies that there is a table of evil-genius old men controlling the world. **In reality, they are stupid as dirt.** They were just 'riding the hockey stick' and over-extrapolating like everybody at the time. It's like ratcheting up the roller-coaster and extrapolating to the stars. Everybody does that, and the swoop down is always surprising. The actual world temperatures from NOAA show the rise to 2016. This is then shown as their 'accurate projections'. I'm not saying it's wrong in an influencer sense. They made a lot of money on this. Good for them!

#physics #weather **Still 3 storms** This view shows that the storms are drifting down the coast. They are deflected by the mountains, and extreme cold. They have no mames and no ratings because they don't exist in the groupthink. They've been generated and driven by extreme cold.

#physics #weather **California parade of storms** At least they've stopped calling them rivers. Calicane #2 has impaled itself on the Aleutian volcanoes, and is stuck. There are now two monster gyres in both oceans. All is chaos.

#linux **Bluetooth mouse** When it goes glichty and stutters, just turn it off and on again. Took me a long time to find that advice, and it really works. I swear there's a leak in the driver.

#physics #weather **If you believe in fairies...** State of the Ocean -- I do this when I get the ocean currents. If you are really, really, hoping for an end to the Pacific Cold Phase, then you would expect to see a reversal by now. Momentum is a bitch.
