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.
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
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
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
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?
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.)
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.
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.)
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
uhm wtf this is the last time I'm voting in a national election if a progressive isn't running

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.
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
