  1. The worst feeling in the world has to be trying to turn your furnace or boiler on when it's sub 50 inside and realizing it doesn't work. So you need a plumber to come and fix or even replace it, which will cost an arm and a leg and they're all backed up and can't do it for a week. That happened to me, not the sub 50 part, because I can't tolerate cold below 70 without heat lol but a few years ago I needed to get my boiler replaced and all I had was my space heaters to keep my bedroom warm while the rest of the house was damn cold.
  2. Wait your skies cleared before mine did....how? What time did you see it?
  3. This kind of makes his point of space colonization seem like something we will need to do regardless.
  4. I've been awake all night for the eclipse but it was raining here until 3 am and still cloudy at 4:30 past the maximum point of the eclipse. The clouds only started to clear about 5 minutes ago (4:40-4:45 am) and the moon is like 25-30 pct lighted in the NW sky about 30 degrees up
  5. Dutch and British East India Companies were horrible, they exploited native people, stole their land, etc, the first multinational corporations. Their greed and the horrors they did is the stuff of legend
  6. It's like chemotherapy to cure cancer, the longer you wait the tougher it will be.
  7. 80, November 15th 1993....latest it ever happened
  8. ENSO state only has a 20% of an impact on our weather, there are other more important factors
  9. It's so weird because I remember LGA got mixed precip and JFK got snow, and we had a lot of snow around here, really wet heavy snow with branches coming down and treacherous driving conditions
  10. exactly, this is why we had a snowstorm here in November 2012 a week after Sandy and the waters were really warm then too
  11. What the heck happened in Vancouver? That was horrendous! I heard that enso is only responsible for about 20% of CONUS weather and this would've happened in other enso states too (maybe not to this degree.) Also how similar is this to the patterns we had in Fall 1989 and Fall 1998?
  12. he buys what he wants to happen, thats why we call him Rainman. Just not as smart as Tom Cruise was in that movie lol
  13. and hopefully we do stabilize the population at 10 billion by 2050, 10 billion seems to be the carrying capacity of our planet for humans.
  14. This was pretty amazing to witness, one of these tornadoes touched down right in my town and we lost power for 3 hours. Long Island had never had a tornado in November before (records go back to 1950) and never more than 3 in one day at any point in the year before this. Climate change related (much warmer SST than normal). The animals were hightailing it out of here and so were people lol (there was a long line of cars jamming the roads, which was puzzling for a Saturday afternoon.)
  15. Richard Branson has a way of doing it by filling skyscrapers with solar panels (doing it to the Empire State Building first) and then people would be able to use those to recharge their cars for free.
  16. lunar eclipse reaches maximum around 4:07 am my time Friday morning, 97% so very close to total (actually better in some ways since more easily visible and yet still red.)
  17. Govt aint going to do shit, it's people like Musk who will finally end our dependence on fossil fuels, his new assembly line will build a new EV every 10 hours Elon Musk believes he can radically change how cars are put together with Tesla's Giga Press / Twitter
  18. uhm wtf this is the last time I'm voting in a national election if a progressive isn't running https://twitter.com/search?q="Gulf of Mexico"&src=trend_click&pt=1460993698221678597&vertical=trends https://twitter.com/ReutersScience/status/1460993698221678597
  19. oh joy I just heard Biden is investigating the American Petroleum Institute for price fixing, this is awesome sue them to hell just like drug companies who overprice drugs.
  20. NYC is about to pass a gas free law so all new structures and renovations MUST be made free from fossil fuels! This is so much better than the weaksauce that was COP26
