STILL N OF PIKE

Wow, that moves like it’s a whiffle ball

Currently Good ole Westfield w a 95 Any airport temps above that ?

I had mentioned that a month or so ago . Funny how opposing managers are mum bc their guys do it

I wanna see the scientists who knowingly promoted bad science to frame the lab leak as nonsense to save their funding into toying w diseases try and jump ship like the money hungry rats they became

BTV, LEB both 90 at noon IZG 91 Berlin up to 88

Well , The main lesson to apply is not to fund Gain of function research that makes disease more dangerous and transmissible to humans and not to cover up the initial spread and punish those that did. Why did the lancet allow such a biased research paper into its print media and Shape the initial opinions of millions , And why are so many continuing to protect opening the “can of worms” As the lancets latest “investigation into the origins” is once again headlined by a scientist with a incentive to protect his own funding and history since he has been a recipient of gain of function research . When people act like they are covering something up they usually are protecting their A$$ But who cares about that , because that makes some question things they would rather not ? Makes them seem less safe going forward .....I mean ..why are the heros who yell across the street for a stranger to put on a mask while walking ...silent on this potential issue if you “care” Waiting for the people who benefit from it to finish their research into its orgins ?

Folks better be crankin ac BMI is quite the pit, 81 currently

Manchester has a team near me (last time I checked )

If you are renting , and a big snow weenie find a rental up Bolton access road (1850-2200’) . Probably least expensive mountain rentals And they ave around 200” at 2k. Upslope heaven And your near civilization as opposed to Cabot which has less and is more variable (as synoptic snows make up more of their average) within 30 mins of Montpelier You won’t find a higher annual snowfall unless you went to jay peak condos or had 2.5 mil for Stowe’s highest elevation condos

Fujiwuji just left the board

Nice down pour in Nashua with sun out

Let’s do it. I do like June July weather if I have a lake or a pool but otherwise it’s the most boring weather time of the year By far . Usually need August to track canes / surf anywhere and ocean water is cold now anyway

Is there high confidence that late week will be cool (Friday)

https://summit.news/2021/06/04/scientist-at-center-of-lab-leak-controversy-put-in-charge-of-the-lancets-task-force-to-investigate-virus-origin/ The lancet is becoming embarrassing . Why are they so biased ...whittinsville... what are they protecting

Looking to watch Donicic for Dallas tonite .

That’s definitely true . When folks aren’t friends they definitely look for social cues of what is going on around them. IF I don’t know the store policy if I see 2 people that don’t look insane or on crack without I know I’m good

Yes , but to be published in the lancet and shape so many opinions and be basically a piece penned by those conducting gain of function research (protect their own azz) and this wasn’t caught by the finest scientific journal is a fukkin joke that they ran it. Then by running it , it served as a deterrent to scientists who said wait a moment , this isn’t even scientifically sound and no such call can made at that time ..bc then you are open to be called a idiot , a conspiracy nut or a anti China racist or Whatever catch phrase people think may harm your reputation, your job security for not sticking to “their science” . This is the huge trend in the world right now . People emotionally overreacting and crying about people who don’t agree with the political stance on issues and how it effects folks livelihoods if they speak up .

If you wanna skip my mumbo jumbo scroll and read article . I hadn’t personally read this article that finally put the lab leak theory back to being a mainstream accepted option but this scientist just killed it in this article . The part dismantling the early lab leak dismissal that made it Into the lancet (top scientific journal ) and how that opinion science piece was Crafted by someone funding gain of function research should shake your faith in worshiping science blindly . Why? Because this article created millions of opinions And determined for those who subscribe (what is “appropriate” to believe , and what is conspiracy). *Many scientists *did realize that article was blowing the whistle way 2 early but it became a detriment to your career to bother to speak out and state the Lancet articles flaws from a scientific viewpoint which was politically “conspiracy” talk at that point . *This particular sequence of events should not be assumed to be isolated to this scenario alone , because of the success of doing so and the benefits . It took an article so strong to spell this out that mainstream had to backtrack This shows Bad science can exist when it’s Particularly motivating $$ to do so , and even a leading journal like lancet can fall prey to either politics or falling asleep at the wheel . The article goes on and on and doesn’t draw any conclusions but certainly makes a case that thinking people have realized . Who would face potential blowback If the lab leak theory gains acceptance, (beyond China ( who was involved in gain of research funding and Why did a internal memo in December dissuade the administration from looking deeper into the origin with a warning it could “open a can of worms “? Again as mentioned earlier I see symptoms of the Broader Dangerous “think like me” culture being pushed in institutions and Often can effect your job prospects if you think AND speak outside of what “thought police” deem acceptable Read the article . https://www.google.com/amp/s/thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-people-or-nature-open-pandoras-box-at-wuhan/amp/

Bruins , cmon let’s go

I did... that’s why I said it was stretching the odds based off of the 150 year of records .

Of course , but John admitted he is not versed in the historic odds of a 4-5 not hitting a 100 mile area of coast for several decades And then you can add key west to that list .

To a degree it does , but I mean in 65 years or so WPB, Fort laudy, Key west and downtown Miami’s without a cat 4-5 making landfall is stretching it for that . Regardless of Homestead 30 years ago getting hit by a bomb. Without detailing temp talk much longer Key west is Probably the number one mass casualty site if such a storm was bearing down . They don’t leave

They are long over due in key west , FLL and WPB dating back to the 150 year records . I was in S FL for Wilma , Jeanne, Frances, Katrina . Those we’re not 4/5’s and their punch was tame from a structural point of view , that is the big difference between the 4/5’s and lesser storms which is why I bring up that distinction . The biggest and scariest prep was from a buzz saw Floyd that was a 4-5 but turned NW just in time . That was a monster Wilma was most exciting as a high end 2 that a day earlier was suppose to hit FLL as maybe a 1. I recall the power during the gusts of that storm as about the upper end of what I wanted to experience as my area saw 110-115 mph gusts that seemed insane . Charley was a Big Surprise and packed a big punch over a 8-10 mile radius about 25 miles in , minuscule cane but definitely much stronger than predicted

How long can Miami to WPB avoid a cat 4-5 landfall...and Key west Broward And Palm beach are going on like 5 decades of luck . Miami as well . Yes we know Andrew hit 30 years ago and cleared a 5 x 25 mile path in Homestead and the Everglades to their west. Its just wild how many 4-5’s steam roll central and NW Bahamas and dont effect Florida with more than cat 1 gusts
