He just won’t take a board break lol 

He’s an internet junky…somebody who has 200,000 posts on a weather board, doesn’t take breaks.  I honestly don’t know how he finds the time to post as much as he does with a full time gig, and a growing family.  But he does.

469 of those yards came against the Patriots. He averaged a little more than 6 yards per carry behind the Electric Company. And the day he went over the 2000 yard mark was also an epic bust for several  Boston TV mets. The Saturday before the game they were forecasting a very significant snowstorm for SNE but their forecasts busted badly.

He could cut and slice to the right and left like nobody else.

I had way more posts in the earlier days. Being mobile also makes it easy too. I don't do FB or twitter really. This is it. I enjoy weather and interacting with the peeps on here. I just phucking hate the last three seasons.

Was at Tweed yesterday to pick up family from Orlando - their plane did the touch and go but came back in 10 minutes later. It was 4:30 so the winds were just starting. Wife said half the plane was puking.

Do you have to pay extra for the thrill?

I was going to say it will get eaten alive on the northern edge of the precip shield.

Appreciable precip is in South Jersey on the gfs and cmc. Anything north of that is light stuff or nothing.

 

this needs a miracle, just like every other threat in the past 3 years

Nice little snow shower in Simsbury at the moment

Prior to the 1973 season he was considered to be a bust. Then he had a great 4 year run but tailed off badly after that.

Oh I get it…I do nothing but mobile too. Like you, I have zero social media accounts except this. But I don’t have the time to post as much as you, nor would I want to. The more I’m away from, and not using the phone, the better I find life to be.  If it wasn’t for this, I would have zero social media.

Basically right there with you. I do have FB, mostly to keep up with family and the antique car and radio/TV crowd. The strange backless dress girls i don't know  friend requests get deleted immediately. Social media is so entirely over rated and over used

Is “blue balling” the “thread the needle” of 2025?

Destroying a whole generation of folks. All for a fake world. I don’t get it.  Very Sad.

I have a few friends who are therapists. The way they talk about all the damage they're seeing almost sounds like what drug counselors deal with

We half kid around here about model dopamine drips, but when you think of how that’s manufactured on social media through likes and other algorithms it’s really incredible. And horrifying.

The “ineedsnow” intensity correction formula for falling snow is to just move the decimal one place to the right on reported visibility (or implied visibility from reported snow intensity).

i didn't make that up just out of fun - i was studying the material after viewing the documentary, 'the social dilemma,'  several years ago. the show was produced by early google and facebook engineers that left those positions 'for moral' reasons because they knew that what they were doing was a kind of a social engineering.   the whole industry really stumbled on to the following:

blue light/psychotropic addiction, and the needle is doom scrolling...  

then later on, 60 minutes did a whole segment expose' on the phenomenon of it.   they interviewed these people that said in first person how they worked on algorithms that tailor to a person's scrolling tendencies, with ever more gas lighting and other manipulative psycho babble tactical shit - the motive for doing so, enter here [         ]    doesn't need to be listed. 

so,... why it matters in here is because ... the medium is in fact blue lighting and doom scrolling for that model cinema effect.  some of us have joked in the past that seems a lot of users are even less interested in the storm, as much as they seek the guidance that illsutrates it ahead of time?  that phenomenon is likely real, and ... it exposes this.  

people are prone to transfixing in here just like any of these other virtual presentations of reality - just like on any other of those medias.  

op ed/digression: it's a small part of my general posit that humanity is in fact moving through an evolutionary experiment, where technology has become a proxy in how we survive and/or fail this.  - it's a vast science.  global birthing rates are crashing to (supposedly) dangerously low levels..   - that's an interesting adjective, when population is too large anyway.  from that, to the proliferation and really shocking increase in occurrences of mass violence by single individuals, and (possibly more importantly ...) those that have found one another on the web and are thus empowered loons for finding others like them.  these are all being emergent modalities that are quite well timed with the ambit of tech changes that has gripped all societies outside the jungles since roughly the mid or late 1970s ...when television because ubiquitous, and varied, enough to pull one's motivation away from the community - that was really the most primitive beginnings of an internet.
