First day of summer. Longest day of the year.

Good Wednesday Morning All. 104* for a high with a risk of severe storms this evening not to mention the heat index. :icon14: So time to get this first day of summer off and running. :happydance: Hope you all have a good one today. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Try to Stay Cool Out There. :tup:

"Tropical Storm Bret expected to strengthen but not become a hurricane."

Come to think of it, I should have majored in Meteorology and become a meteorologist. They get paid big bucks to make predictions and don't get in any trouble/held accountable if they are wrong.

Complete ********. It's just a slap on the wrist that he is going to get and then they will turn and say "see we are impartial" to excuse their persecution of Trump. Literally everyone else would get consecutive terms for these charges he originally faced.

:icon17:

Same can be said of Rachel Maddow.

:roflpuke2:

thats funny

The Jan 6th loiterers got solitary confinement while our “impartial” DOJ slow walked their trials for over a year until they could sentence them to prison for years. They’re not even trying to hide their bias anymore. Disgusting… these clowns have turned us into a banana republic.

I been wondering where that dude has been lately.

Yup. The gun charges alone should be a mandatory 3-5yrs. But the Bidens have white privilege.

The tax charges dropped to a misdemeanor is hilarious. Anyone else would serve time for that. Just ask Wesley Snipes. Racist democrats charging him yet let a while man walk with only misdemeanors.

Feds are a complete joke. They only hit him with these "minor" ones also when there is a much larger picture they are completely ignoring just so they can wipe this all under the rug.

Let this happen to a Trump and I guarantee you there is no plea bargain and IF there was it would still be mandatory jail time.

fify

That rug got some really big lumps in it.

I mean, you do understand that regardless of the technology we have, the weather still can't be accurately predicted, because the probabilities these models deal with are just such, that basically anything goes. It's not even anyone's fault.

Think of it as trying to accurately predict what will be the layout of 50 balls colored in 10 colors, after the balls are dropped from the 5th floor, over several stairsets, ending in a funnel that draws them in the cup. You can predict probabilities, sure...but can you tell WHICH ONE will actually happen?

My question for you is more like - would you be happier if we had no weather forecast at all? Because these guys are doing the best they can. And yeah, it sucks....but that's the best we can do. Weather can't be better predicted.

:iagree::tup:

There is so much value here! These two sentences can be applied to so many other things in life!

If weather forecast was just limited to "We will get rain today" and if it doesn't, that's one thing.

But if you're telling the general public to evacuate one area and go to another due to a massive natural disaster, and that natural disaster goes to where people are told it's supposed to be safe, and results in a catastrophic loss of life/property, yeah not so good.

We can successfully send people to the moon and rovers to Mars, which BTW has tons of unknown variables and is thousands upon thousands of miles away, but we can't narrow down where winds/rain will go over a course of a few hundred miles? :gtfo2:

Meteorologists go to school for this. There are known variables to factor in.

Let's see how liberal you are after a major hurricane comes your way and destroys your sh!t after being told by meteorologists that your area is safe.

no matter what, im gonna be strong duude.:icon17:

"Lab-grown meat is cleared for sale in the United States."

Nope, I'll opt for the real stuff.

"Good Meat, which has been selling its products in Singapore, advertises its product as 'meat without slaughter,' a more humane approach to eating meat."

I do not condone violence against animals. That being said, as long as it's done right and humanely, people come first and you can't convince me that this "cultivated" sh!t is equivalent to the real stuff.

It will sell at first. Just like the Beyond Meat. Then sales will fall when people realize just how much more it costs over real meat. Couple of the companies that make the fake meat are losing money. Because of sales fell off a cliff. :rofl2:

:hello:

Going to be a wet weekend. Heading out to Rausch Creek with the Jeep for a offroad weekend. :driving: Power Wagon meet.

you and i dont agree on much, but this time..:iagree::iagree:

Good Thursday Morning All. Just 99* for a high today with a 20% chance of more rain after getting some much needed rain last night. :bowdown: Time to get rocking guys. So hope you all have a good one today. :happydance: Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Moving Forward. :tup:

Remember: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.” Aristotele

Not just that. It's also way worse for you.

Happy Thursday
For some of us its Friday :)
enjoy the moment, just because
Cheers

"The Titanic submersible was going down nearly 13,000 feet. Just how deep in the ocean is that?"

We have the ability/technology to send people to the moon and rovers to Mars, which are thousands upon millions of miles away, and have the capabilities to track them so they don't get lost. Yet, we can't track a vehicle on our home turf that is less than 3 miles down underwater? Are there not any in-case-of-emergency functionalities on these things?

Listen, take the following as a given, because these are the facts:
1. You can't predict the weather with 100% confidence. You can't, forget it.
2. Nobody can guarantee safety from hurricanes, force majeur events etc.

Now with those two in mind....would you rather that you have a newscaster who says:

"Hurricane is underway, we expect it will go throught states A, B and C, we got no idea if it will go to other states like C, D, E, good luck folks."

or would you like something like:

"Hurricane is underway, we expect it will go throught states A, B and C, we think that states like C, D, E are safe, to the best of our knowledge."


Because the first one will get them legally off the hook, and I dunno, you'll be happy? But what will happen is panic, a lot of people AGAIN hoarding stuff and idiots spreading everywhere......so they are doing the second, but you'r angry because nobody guarantees safety.

I mean think about it for a moment.

Correct.

It's much easier to secure someone from vacuum than from the depths and crazy pressures that are experienced in the bottom of the Mariana trench for example.
It's much easier to track and communicate to people in space, where there are NO OBSTACLES for radio wave communication, whereas in the sea, the opposite is true.
Thirdly, we have mapped the whole moon, because all you need is a telescope. To map the ocean floor, what do you think is necessary? That's a question for you to answer.

With the first two answers that I've given you, and the third one you can answer yourself -> you will answer the whole conundrum that bothers you.
Spoiler alert:

Looks like we've only mapped <10% of the global ocean, to filip00's point.

I am amazed that this apparently isn't common knowledge.
