Really interesting read about climate induced home insurance premium increases. no pay wall on the link. Coming to a neighborhood near you.

I tried, got nothing- I assume facing north?

edit: don’t be an idiot like me and double check your exposures people. Very nice show.

Auroras tonight if we can get this to clear out in SNE

Going to clear out for tonight?? Anyone got a link to the real-time monitor, so I don’t have to guess?

This looks fairly legit and I’m fairly jealous 

Kinda OT but willing to bet we see more startups with this goal in mind (reducing climate change itself) I’m interested to see governments worldwide react (or not) to this eventuality. Will every country have their own national player? Interesting to ponder.

Pretty good storm just to the west. Hear it rumbling and cloud structure is a nice anvil, also maybe some broad rotation 

I never thought I would see the day: antistein

If you’re not reposting climate science misinformation on a Saturday night, are you even living?

Fatties starting to mix in here in Lowell.

I’d def be down and run it for 10-12 people. $100 fee? All fees would obvs be paid out, if there is legit interest lemme know and I’ll get it set up on sleeper or something.

Glady take our climate even given recent snow deficits, compared to what’s going on in SoCal tonight- t’s and p’s

Mv valley just now

You'd have to know what the exponential value is to be precise.   Than you can take the root ( determine )... like, maybe if it's the exponential increase goes by the square, than you take the square root of 8. 

something like day 2.8 or so.  that point in time should stop the momentum.   seems intuitive.  heh, at least you're not giving the interviewer dead air, gaped mouth and vacant stair for an answer

Easier than you think, if it doubles everyday you’d have to cut it by the end of day 7. Up until that point it looks like a manageable problem- until all of a sudden it’s not. Same thing with cc…again just imho and don’t want to derail things.

  The future can not be extrapolated using a linear inference ...unless we're fucking morons.

 

IMHO this is the key, the human brain hasn’t evolved to properly understand the risks of exponential relationships. Our brains just don’t compute it, at a population level. It’s how you get the Covid fiasco, people blowing their funds up on the yen carry etc etc…

there’s an interview question about a pond with invasive vines that choke out all life. The pond is basically clear now but the vines double everyday and will choke the pond in 8 days if they’re not cleared. On what day must the pond be cleared to avoid catastrophe?

Just missed us to the north from Jenness Beach

Speaking of Merrimack Valley, anyone battling fungus this year? I sprayed once… didn’t seem to get it all, so just put down disease x 48 hours ago but….? Wondering if there are any better remedies…thanks 

From what I’ve heard (cnn) when the red line goes up, it’s like a 30 min warning due to the distance of the satellite. Started going up about 15 mins ago.

Heavy sleet here,  36.0

I feel like I know the answer to this but- any chance we cool off before the precip ends? Sitting at 32.7 and pouring- would rather us not cool to 31.

Giving a talk next week… just hear me out.

I spy Cory:

I’m not in the business of picking spots on the globe to fit my preconceived narrative but you do you.

To this point… what’s the mechanism that *could* bring global temp anomalies back in line? We baked at a global scale this year- I’m not sure betting on a miraculous return to prior curve is a bet I’d make.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll report it 

Don’t report it, change your password and any other password that might be remotely close to it. Also- looking forward to you slant sticking your way to 6, jk jk…. Not really
