On the bright side, watching their older children use a mall video game retailer to topple a few hedge funds and create endless reams of print of such professionals jockeying for least self aware person of the year has at least been a brief hiatus in the year of our “@wokeness” where humor and satire were allowed to crawl out from hiding for a brief, but sorely needed moment. .

(Behind Idiocrasy of course) Let’s do gamification of each option through phone apps while listing the contest in a prediction market where we can all wager the stimulus money on the results and allow the greatest minds of Vegas/finance to properly price options so different hedging strategies can include it as a non correlated assets and soon banks will find ways to securitize it, sell it and eventually all pension plans will own it, followed by companies, which all the indexes will have to buy stock in, which means almost all retirement money will be invested in. If we do anything great it’s make whole economies out of fiction that keeps the world moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If life is harder, it’s harder in the way choosing a which amazing meal is to eat at a 5 star buffet. I say this speaking to society on average regarding material items. I do see life being harder in specific areas, especially when you get out on the margins, but like everything in life there are trade offs to benefits. Take example having no flu this year. One issue they are going to have a problem with is targeting the varient that will dominated next year so vaccines next year have a greater chance of missing the mark. Take into effect the lesser immunity our population may have and there is a defiantly a small probability increase for a really bad flu season next year. Life if all about trade offs. .

Bad Flu season and still Covid concerns next winter. A large part of the population is not going to get the shot. Now Foxnews is blaming Marvelous Marvin's death on it.

See, then I would be in the wrong for stirring the bees nest. But I did think about asking when a WSW was needed for a snow thread. In the last 30 days, lots of people in the MA have lost their snow lovers membership card. Its one thing to root on spring and another thing to troll every post about snow with snide remarks. Edit- Have to appreciate @losetoa6's Moxy to keep ignoring the haters and post info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreamTraveler Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 3 hours ago, Bubbler86 said: Seeing your name reminded me that I spoke with two neighbors who already planted summer plants that will die with a freeze. The topic came up because I told them they would lose them last night (and several more times in the next week or two) and both times said they were told winter is over and no more freezing weather was coming. So it was not just Covid fatigue causing irrational thought that Spring was here...there was some misinformation coming from somewhere (I doubt these people watch the bad info in the MA forum so not from there). I wish people weren't so headstrong or ignorant about these things. It's like you try and tell them something you know to be true but nothing convinces them and then they still get mad when their plants die lol you can't believe everything your friends post on social media 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this over the weekend. But that was with temps in the 50's and dews in the teens. Today it's low 40's with dew point hovering around -2F and 15% RH. Generally you see this more in April. I think we've only seen sub-zero dew points maybe one other time this winter? Maybe today is the lowest of the season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't even bother with facebook now. It just ends up rotting your brain and it's better for your mental health to take a break from it every now and then. It's good to have an avenue to keep in contact with friends and family but it's good to not let it consume you lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Most models still have rain changing to snow for many of us on Friday morning. It’s just a matter of the final track and precip rates that will determine if any us can score an inch or 2 of slushy snow on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
