I’m sure they’ll say, “but they say it’s ‘just’ nuisance flooding”.

This is part of the reason U. Nebraska is in trouble now.

Cutting tuition means removing credit generation for science programs. This isn’t encouraging science majors. It’s to destroy the science departments.

Waiving tuition without a compensating income stream worked brilliantly for Nebraska. This will gut the STEM programs they pretend to want to support. Pretty sure that’s a feature not a bug.

And the empty spaces from where the books we loaned to our students would be.

“The Obama Shutdown.”

I think we all know he doesn't believe in Jesus or his teaching.

Yeah but he also thinks Kings Island’s parking lot is big. Applebaum’s size reference as OP was apt in this context. I’d dare even call them “plucky” given their adversary.

Compared to the size of the country that’s occupying part of its territory and just tried to take it over by ballot box, I’d say the adjective fits in this case.

Well it IS an ugly car.

“Nonstationarity of mean and extreme weather events” it is, then.

Wrong football but … lightning WOULD be cool.

“For what it’s worth…”

“Just saying….”

I didnt think I remembered that line, thanks!

Yup. CJ woulf have said it better, anyway. Jeeze why do people believe everything on the internet.

Not from Downbellow Station. Check before you tweet.

Nope. Not in Downbelow Station.

Back then blue backgrounds were a big thing, IIRC. But the letter colors were just awful along with the seisure inducing blinky blinky flashy flashy whooshy whooshies. It was like "ooo this is NEW! I will try everything on it!" I had to walk out of the room.

OK now you got me started: This is a REAL slide set from an old COMET workshop on hydromet @ NCAR (NOT MINE!!) circa the late 90s when Powerpoint was new.

I'm not sure why but the "typewriter leter-by-letter" feature isn't on one of the slides. And yes, it made the clackity clack noise.

Samizdat is now available!

Opening slides of a presentation we do that drives home the message that your "graph is fugly, and everyone hates you."

Yup... Every program needs a presentation for that.

Also do people really understand the power of an atom bomb? It’s a sexy shock and awe analogy but it doesn’t really provide grounding. Perhaps we should link “Big-Joule” to a known iconic volcanic eruption (not a picnic for people who have been adversely impacted by those either).

Well gossip IS much more fun than doing a lit review.

Jimmy showed us how to diagram a sentence and we realized we had no legal foot to stand on.

So they;re taking the Sirius XM route? #IYKYK

That's right. What's more alarming is ~97% of the current highway storm drains in the United States were designed using rainfall information that was published in *1961* using 1930s-1950s data. We're using infrastructure built for the rainfall of nearly a century ago. engrxiv.org/preprint/vie....

Just link to the DoD press release page in the margin. Starve him of attention.

“97% to be precise.”

HUNDREDS of dollars?!?! You oligarch, you.
