    One thing I have to disagree with is the reflexive reach to climate change for every thing that doesn’t go the way someone prefers. Understand that I’m not denying it or playing it down or don’t think it’s impacting preferred outcomes. It’s like businesses blaming Covid for every issue they faced in the past five years; sure, it’s been an issue, but sometimes it’s just how it goes. .

    Time flies when you’re typing into the void. .

    $1,000?!? Are you keeping at 80°? .

    Underreported fact… it’s not only not snowing because God hates us, it’s just been dry. First dry and warm, now dry and cold. .

    Right. I’m not a meteorologist or scientist or engineer, but even in the most logic-driven occupations, people - who may not want to admit it - are driven by emotion and responses that they hope to find. Just take a look at Covid five years on… many, many aspects of it were ideas driven by emotion or solutions that were hoped to work, and reasonings made verboten because they did not conform. People don’t like to admit they’re wrong, or don’t like to concede a previous viewpoint could be wrong, or someone they disagree with or dislike had a valid point. It’s a good point you make about just saying, what could go wrong? You want Solution A to occur, but what could make it become B or C? It’s not a character issue, just a valid question. .

    But they’re then read by humans with biases, searching for what they want to find. .

    I have to think it’s because it’s showing you what you want to see, just like other solutions show other people what they want to see, so it reinforces their own biases. Just like a slanted news source or radio station for other topics, people love having preconceived notions reinforced. It’s marketing 101. .

    My wife gets a kick out of when I tell her I’m checking in to see what the weenies say. .

    Every Inauguration, you seemingly hear about the Kennedy snowstorm or the cold at Reagan’s in 1985. Just a neat snapshot in time. .

    Nothing about the people involved, more about the event itself. .

    Would be neat to see an Inauguration Day storm for the historical aspect of it, since they’re only every four years and D.C. has wild winter swings. .

    Eh, it’s nice to find something enjoyable about all of the seasons! .

    Oh no, I feel like you’ve been broken. That’s not supposed to happen until Juan Soto’s knees explode by Easter in a tragic lawn mowing accident. .

    Even though you’re a Yankee fan, I’m glad you mentioned that. For everything else you mentioned - which is worthwhile and true - sometimes it just doesn’t work out, and there’s nothing more to it. It’s like a date or a job interview. You think it’s a slam dunk, and it turns out to be misaligned. .

    They’ve been doing their best to try and kill me for over 35 years. .

    If my memory serves correct, it snowed a lot very soon after that 80°. That’s the one thing that people go out of their minds about when it’s not super cold; we act like it hasn’t snowed a day or two after it’s 45° or 50°. .

    He pops up in my suggested follows sometimes on twitter, but I’ll give him this: he seems to be direct and doesn’t talk in riddles like other pages. Keeps it simple and straightforward. He genuinely seems to enjoy weather. Just an enthusiast, from the limited amount I’ve seen. .
