Senior meteorologist @MatthewCappucci recently visited Chestertown College, where he delivered a guest lecture on the science of tornadoes.

β€œHe is an amazing communicator of science … and it has been very surreal to have him here,” Dr. Karl Kehm told The Elm.

According to GrokAI, Elon Musk is fitter than LeBron James, would likely win a poop-eating contest, and would choose to vaporize the whole country of Slovakia over Elon.

The headline from your linked article is misleading and inaccurate; it is corrected in the final article, but not in your post. The general did not call Europe inconsequential, and there is a big difference from what was said vs what's in the article post.

You're absolutely right; the millions of us will continue to enjoy the game while others insist we shouldn't because we're somehow being exploited :)

scrutiny anymore. Most of those ships people paid for are now fully functional and in-game. I mean, unless you’ve actually played the game yourself, are you sure it’s fair to be condemning it?

I think that’s the problem; they did deliver on a lot of what they pitched. Fully functional FPS, dozens of full-sized planets people can get out and walk on and explore, tons of missions, tons of flyable ships. This idea that they haven’t delivered on promises just doesn’t hold up to…

to do. They only recently starting earning much more annually BECAUSE of that. Dev time vs cost is actually very reasonable given other titles. Its just that its easy to earn clickbait revenue from publishing negative "its a scam" articles, so many authors just take the easy way out and cash in.

The company did not just "raise $1B" all at once; they started off much smaller, with a much smaller team and much smaller ambitions. As it grew, as they developed it, as players were able to play it, they were able to earn more and reinvest into game development and greatly expand what they aim...

they have made the game playable and enjoyable in its current state and have shown real, legitimate, tangible progress towards an end product that greatly EXCEEDS what was originally promised. All you have to do is watch some of the gameplay on YouTube and you might start to understand for yourself.

Well, I mean - being frustrated just because it's "still in alpha" still doesn't really make sense; its a playable game that has not only delivered on many of its core promises, but has exceeded them. There is no mass psychosis here; people are contributing money because it's actually enjoyable in..

I was able to play last night with a group of my friends - as I have for years now - and take this epic selfie after an op we did :)

Because if you just want to put those words in a sentence in that order, of course it sounds like a scam. But there are millions of people who play the game as it is and enjoy it very much, so if that bothers you maybe find out why?

TWO X-class solar flares (the biggest ones) on Tuesday. The same active regions – those producing the explosive eruptions – will rotate toward Earth in a few days.

The northern flare, an X1.8, came from sunspot 4274.

The southern one was an X1.1, but we can't see that sunspot.

WOW! Look at this "sting jet" – a wraparound stinger of intense 100-120 mph wind gusts – forming on the back side of a bombogenetic cyclone south of Newfoundland.

Can you notice that little pointy "tail" at the apex of the low pressure system's "comma head"?

A mid-latitude low pressure system off the coast of Newfoundland will intensify at TWICE the rate needed to be classified as a bombogenetic cyclone.

It will have hurricane-force winds over the open North Atlantic as it undergoes explosive deepening.

Would you happen to know if it's available for download in its raw form? I'd love to find a way to integrate it into MyRadar. I've reached out to the agency there, but understandably I'm sure they have their hands full at the moment.

There simply aren't words to describe what's about to happen in Jamaica. Our thoughts are with our friend and neighbors to the south.

Another followup with details; the wind data you see is a "forecast" that's as close-to-now as possible, but the data is only released every 6 hours (the region is not covered by the HRRR in that region, which has a higher update frequency, so we're using the GFS for that data), so there's lag.

28.10.2025 14:33 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The winds are based on a model and can be delayed, the satellite imagery ("radar") is also slightly delayed, and from a different data source, with a different interval. We could make up fake data, but I suspect that wouldn't be good either.
