    Which was made worse when the group promoting the "fake news" concept promoted their spokesperson to President. They already had their alternative media in place for that group of many people to flock to when they needed someplace else to go. Amazing how much money was made in the past 7 years on the idea of "Fake News". Slowly the Alex Jones of the conspiracy theory world are starting to be exposed for who they really are, fake news and lies for profit. Most of the media out there has some level of bias, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see through that. Hopefully we can get back to a world where facts can be facts again and not labeled "fake news" because some guy on YouTube said so(especially when they made a bunch of money because it was shared and clicked on so many times). 

    Frustrating times for scientists around the world.....

    The Venn Diagram of people who believe a chlorine cloud descended on their house 7 days after said fire in Ohio, that the covid vaccines are causing mass deaths and that the 2020 election was stolen is just 1 perfect circle.

  2. So I get a txt from my mom last night- “hey our electric bill is like $600 what yours- something must be wrong”.

    So I look and she’s getting charged like 3x per kw than I am- and we both have national grid. So she calls and they say that yes- national grid uses different suppliers and each supplier can charge a ‘Market rate’ so there are differences. Finally, you can request a change if you want to- which she obviously is going to do. 

    This sounds absolutely absurd- anyone work in the industry?

  3. Mowed yesterday after raking all the pine needles from my arborvitae’s that fell during the storm. 3 bags later…

    Anyone else seeing their arborvitae’s shed internal needles at a ridiculous rate this yr? Read up a bit and it’s either the spring/ summer drought or they are all doing a periodic shedding at the same time. Weird

    Britney Griner was released from Russian prison !

    Prisoner swap between her and some Russian arms dealer known as the 'the merchant of death' apparently. Reminds me of that awesome Spielberg movie, 'Bridge of spies'

    2 things:

     

    1) awful trade we all know about Griner's height and athleticism by Viktor has that killer instinct you just can't teach- boom.

    2) I believe @Chrisrotary12 among others are interested in the below topic. When you have the best podcast on the planet covering this issue- like I had to link it.

    Besides, their uptime minus scheduled maintenance numbers are quite good considering the radar system was installed in the late 80's and early 90's, and are operational 24/7.  Some parts of the 88D radar system are still from the original installs and only get replaced when they fail (from what I've read).

    Ok ok I’m being too tough. Just seems whenever I look at the radar which admittedly isn’t as much as I used to- it’s down.
