  1. I hope you're right, but until the meh is proven wrong, you have to ride the hot hand.
  2. This is so well said. Thanks for mentioning it. Really good analysis and practical explanation. .
  3. I love your enthusiasm, but don’t these models always play these insane games? (I don’t understand how to read the models like being unable to read music, but I know a good song regardless) .
  4. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/mike-freeman/2024/01/19/sports-illustrated-layoffs-gold-standard/72283622007/ Interesting note for sports fans of a certain age, it seems like Sports Illustrated died today. Sad end, but a good life. I had a subscription 25 years ago, right around the time I still enjoyed the Local on the 8s. .
  5. is there a tl;dr for what’s going on in this post? is this someone on this board? .
  6. C’mon… everyone knows second week of April will be 45° and drizzly. .
  7. Got about an inch at MMU. Nice and pretty. With the cold weekend coming up, it feels like a throwback to have had two light, nondescript snow events in a week that weren’t massive snow to rain events or two foot coastal storms, within a cold period. Just feels nice, boring, and wintry. .
  8. [emoji817] And remember, they tell people what they want to hear, and climate change sells. (Not debating or saying it isn’t happening, this is just Econ 101) People want to hear about rising crime, extreme heat, mega blizzards, unending floods, new diseases, you name it. It’s why we rubberneck. .
  9. I’ve seen those reels on instagram - it’s amazing, and there’s a lot of (no pun intended) downstream benefits to zapping weeds with light. Less runoff, fewer chemicals in the environment, etc. .
  10. I truly believe that we have the technology and simple solutions to help mitigate a lot of things - halting deforestation, continuing reforestation and more tree planting, using existing clean energy technologies (nuclear) - it’s just a matter of do we actually want to? Some of these ideas are cheap compared to moonshot ideas. Sometimes people just like to spend other people’s money, for ego and glory and for others to say their moonshot worked. .
  11. Wouldn’t algae theoretically do this, in the same way reforestation sequesters carbon on land? .
  12. I hope everyone is at least enjoying a frigid week with some light snows. It feels cold and miserable and much more wintry than the past two years. My driveway and street aren’t melting well, I feel like I’ll fall on the ice, and it’s disgusting outside to look at. I can’t wait for spring. .
