A LOT of businesses are doing that right now. And I commend all of them! But not all of them were crackheads who were arrested for domestic assault, fraudulent checks, violating a protection order, lost a million dollar fraud suit, filed bankruptcy, has an F rating from the BBB....but also donated to Trump and said he was chosen by God and is possibly running for office. It seemed like a publicity stunt to me and I don’t think that was the right place for that. But I am famously not a big fan of Trump and so I am admitidly biased so if others saw it as a genuine thing and not a publicity stunt to help a friend of Trump I will concede maybe I was seeing it through jaded lenses.

You might want to learn how to read that map before using it to make a point...

MyPillow guy?!?

A small area receiving 50-75% of normal precip for 1-2 months isn’t that significant. That happens quite frequently. For some reason no one makes a big deal everytime we get 150% of qpf in a 60 day period. The drought thing is overblown almost everytime it comes up. We haven’t had a true emergency level drought in a long time. The droughts being trumpeted lately are just typical variance that happens several times a decade. And before some brings up water restrictions...just because some localities didn’t properly plan their water usage when zoning doesn’t mean it’s a true anomalous drought everytime they run out of water due to poor planning and over population for the local water availability.

Before anyone’s says that last statement was political...I’m not saying a healthy skepticism of information isn’t ok. And some people of every political persuasion are too quick to dismiss facts that don’t conform to their preferred narrative. But in this case the “this is no big deal” argument and conspiracy suggestions are just completely beyond the pale of logic and reason. Frankly I find them to be insulting to humanity in general. It requires such an extreme assumption of stupidity in so many millions of people to make those theories plausible...

Look China made some bleep up and every medical institution and government in the world is either in cahoots to this conspiracy or run by mouth breathing knuckle dragging morons who can’t see the obvious truth that he does! I’m done with him. He doesn’t get it because he doesn’t want to get it and no facts are going to matter because anything that doesn’t conform to his narrative is simply “fake”. But he “knows”!

I gave up on anything more than some crazy fluke so long ago it feels like I should be preparing for next winter by now!
-
When people are caught doing something stupid they can be more easily prosecuted if the police decide they need to make an example of someone. That’s one difference I can think of off the top of my head.

It hasn’t rained here in about 20 minutes. Good thing we are already sheltering in place.

So what we have is a situation with two scenarios ... 1. Every medical and infectious disease expert on the planet is wrong 2. You are wrong Just so I can properly weigh the probabilities for both scenarios what is your formal training and qualifications in the infectious disease field?

Here we go...

You must have a very low opinion of the medical profession.

I noticed you didn’t even attempt to defend any of the nonsense garbage from your last line of attack and transitioned to something completely different.

I’ve had a ton of yard work to do. Finally caught up on projects that kept getting put off. But as of now my district is transitioning to distance learning. The set up is going to be intense but after we get the bugs worked out and everything’s up and running I’ll probably only be really working a few hours a day. But at least it’s something.

We transitioned my 20 month old out of her crib today. We left the door open a crack so she could come get us if she wakes up and gets scared or confused...she immediately gets out of bed and pulls the door shut behind us. She apparently skipped right to the teen phase.
-
The people saying that have some issues. First to think the entire medical community globally would be so incompetent to over react to such an extent...and to ignore the fact that such extreme measures were implemented to limit covid19 that are not employed for flu when comparing the two is a joke. The cognitive dissonance it takes to ignore those 2 gaps in their logic is astounding. Hopefully the bug you had a while back was it and you are in the clear now. Stay safe my friend.

Long version: The climate is shifting but you’re using the wrong indicators. What happened this year wasn’t out of the normal. Actually a year like this was due. Since 1950 there have been 6 years with less snow here than this year and 7 with less than 15”. Right now I’m somewhere around 12”. That’s an avg of one sub 15” year every 7.5 years. But it’s been since 2002 since we had one. That’s 17 years. We were very due. Plus many of those awful years were pattern matches to this year. This result happened every 10 years or so even in the old climate when this type of pattern happened. When we start to see anomalously low snowfall results in what used to be snowier patterns that would be a better sign of climate change than what you are referencing. Short version: you are an idiot
-
I’ve had at least one warning criteria snowfall every year I’ve been here since 2006...even this year.
-
If this was winter...I actually think this has trended the way we want the last couple runs. The upper track is about perfect now. We just need it to amplify more. Not that impossible a get from 5 days. But it won’t matter either way.
-
It would have been plenty cold enough 4 weeks ago. Most of our biggest blocking regime snowstorms aren’t arctic cold. 1996 was rare in that regard. Way more often they are cold enough but not super cold. Many of them even looked marginal temp wise from range like feb 2010 and Jan 2016. A 40 degree rain now would have been a 30 degree snow a month ago.

Congrats! Take the wins where you can get them...

I’m not surprised we aren’t choosing the more “equitable” solution. We haven’t much cared about equity economically in a long time! And no I’m not talking about equity of outcomes. I’m not a communist. Everyone won’t win in a free market “game”. And I’m not going to get political and debate what we should do about that issue. But we don’t even seem to care much about setting up a system with equity of opportunity. The irony imo is if we didn’t have a system so skewed to advantage the consolidation of wealth we wouldn’t need as many of the need based programs that so many who help shape the system don’t like.

It was sunny today!!! Thanks I’ll contact twitter and see how to fix that. I don’t really use twitter that much but out of boredom I trolled some Russian Trolls yesterday...then suddenly my account gets hacked. Amazing coincidence.
-
I know just imo the April blocking thing is overblown some. If it’s a sunny day barring some Uber rare arctic shot it’s likely going to be 50-55 degrees. That’s not that bad. It was 55 with a breeze here today and felt great outside in the sun. 55 vs 70 isn’t worth all the worry. And if it’s a rainy day yea a 40 degree rain sucks more than a 50 degree rain but either way I’m not going to be out in it so who cares.
-
Yea but would you want to be outside in a normal April pattern when it’s 52 and raining? Either way a rainy day in April is miserable.
