I did attempt to use opengrads but the stupid turtle kept crashing on me whenever I would generate a CONUS map, so I'm basically having some fun recreating the wheel.

ROOSTA Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 GRADS works better on a Unix Operating System. It's probably crashing because you're running the wrong version. For Windows try the following: grads-2.2.1.oga.1-win32_superpack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 OK...I need a few days of backup fuel until my #2 oil comes next Monday... Anyone have the pros and cons of diesel vs kerosene? Diesel is cheaper, easier to get at the gas station, but I assume dirtier? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes diesel is dirty, red diesel usually for off road equipment, gas station diesel is also usually. treated for winter months.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's only for a couple days just get the diesel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel is fine and is actually better and burns much cleaner than home heating oil due to its lower sulphur content and better refinement. Kerosene is even cleaner and you could use that but it's expensive. Its mainly for indoor kerosene heaters as its burns very clean. Oil burners will pretty much burn anything you put through them. The same burners and nozzles can run used motor oil, biofuels, vegetable oil etc. My first place I rented just out of college me and my roommate could never afford the 150 gallon minimum fill for heating oil. We spent many weeks just buying 10 gallons of diesel to keep the heat going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently it's at 63F, had it at 60F but that was too cold. Nobody lives downstairs and I have electric heat upstairs. I went through 200 gallons of oil since October 1st. At $3.89 a gallon, buying oil is $$$$$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $3.89 a gallon, buying oil is $$$$$$. I have a pellet stove upstairs, but I like using the furnace because it heats the basement and warms the floors upstairs. My ash vac rusted out and I tossed it last fall so I'd need to buy a new one to use it too. I haven't cranked that pellet stove up in like 5 years. The pipe is probably full of creosote so I'd want a really cold day so I can run it really hot. It probably wouldn't be bad to run to supplement the oil use...especially during the day when we're on that side of the house more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans know this…. The corporations know this. But they don’t care and have no problem exterminating our cousins just to expand their farming. I am not experiencing regular anger about this. Instead it feels like a part of me is being crushed and destroyed. I donate toward wildlife conservation efforts about this and frankly the fact that people are unwilling to pull back on this today is disturbing me. reminds me of Daniel Quinn "with gorilla gone, will there be hope for man?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 For me I worry about the Polar Bear and the effects of Global warming in there habit. Supposedly there are lots of starving bears in October before the Sea ice re-freezes and they can hunt again. I've heard some of the bears are learning how to hunt on land during the Summer.

They kept panning and saying how great it was. Over the 2 hour span or so I must have heard them gush about how great the venue and surroundings was at least 8 times.

A bunch of the athletes have been talking the same way. Clearly some sponsorship money and/or threats involved. China is serious about cutting people off for criticizing the regime. I’m sure the networks were warned. They know the deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
