Ahhhh the joys of parenting young children. Struggling to fall asleep after comforting the 4 year old I amused myself by watching the time warp happen. Still, happy for the extra hour of daylight after work.

I remember touring the NCAR supercomputing center in Cheyenne and the (LEED certified platinum) design accounted for this exact scenario (among others) for their HVAC system.

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

Came across this and it provided some interesting context

Pretty sure it’s MetPy?

Despite the Trump administration’s unlawful attempts to block Members of Congress from conducting oversight, a federal court just affirmed in Neguse et al. v. ICE et al. — ONCE AGAIN — our clear right to conduct unannounced oversight visits.

We will keep fighting to ensure the rule of law prevails.

Hopefully the clouds pan out because my 13 month old usually has me up around this time. 🫩

Do you have to identify damage indicators first so you can assess the EF rating for the ongoing tornado and the appropriate response?

It looks like they’re setting up for a quality storyline.

Kent Brockman of the Simpsons announcing that the NWS has upgraded Springfield’s blizzard from “winter wonderland” to “Class 3 Kill-Storm”

Checked in on my cousin in Rhode Island and he says as of this morning it was a high end Class 1 / low end Class 2

Having been indoctrinated with Heinz on my eggs since I could chew food, I politely disagree. (Though my wife sides with you) 😉

Eager to hear about both!

My cousin and I spent hours (days?) on Intellivision’s B-17 Bomber. Really cool you found a working one!

The Heritage Foundation's Plan to Keep Women Uneducated, Pregnant and Subservient The Heritage Foundation published "Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years." Goodbye women's rights.

Contemporary US pronatalism, of which the Heritage Foundation is the most powerful player, is blatantly sexist and racist and fueled by Christian Nationalism.
