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.

#physics #weather **New Zealand Storm** It's a direct hit.

#physics #weather **Gulf Stream unstable** It's like my dog's tail. Wagging down, now it is up.

#physics #weather The joy of a wind channel. This year, the Arctic air has decided to go through several wind channels, which open and close randomly. The big rains in Callie has a huge flow by Alaska. This is a smaller flow and may only soak north of callie.

#physics #weather Toronto is mild, from the tears of Vancouver. Those storms are hammering the west coast, and we get the dry warmth.

#physics #weather Finally back at home where I can type. New Zealand storm. This is the same type of prong as their last big rain, but it is curled. They should listen to the influencers that all this will be over soon -- ha ha.

#physics #weather New Zealand gets storm.

#weather. Up in Huntsville

#earthquake Aftershocks have settled.
