Typhoon Tip

Yeah saw that. Anything to stop a run

It sounds paranoid but, "I do think transmission from another species, without a lab escape, is the most likely scenario by a long shot," okay - Was he visited ? ' Rescind or "be shown the door" - so to speak. It's too easy. And frankly, the stigma against those that harbor suspicion as being merely paranoid, that has become the best accomplice. We gotta go with it though... What's the alternative, just make shit up and believe? So it is what is. I still cannot help but come back to the ex CDC's statements a year ago, when he described how this particular pathogen did not evolve through the iterative process - it sprang on...instantly perfectly infectious to the target organism. That's like trillion to 1 odds... Then this Delta goes the wrong way, too - like subsequent genomic ancestors are weaker than the onset.. Not in this case.

Planned ... ... just like the investigation into the JFK assassination halted at the doorstop of the KGB - 'you can't handle the truth' You don't wanna annihilate the planet over Bio toxic warfare research program that never was intended to get outta of the lab but probably accidentally did. That'd be a helluva epitaph -lol

I love these kind of scatter plots. They don't evince 'as much' of what they are intended to, for me. The 'elephant' that constellation of points draws is really that rural people tend to be dumb f'n rubes, period. Rubes believe b.s.... they do. Stereotype? Tough shit - eat reality and like it. Less educated types are easily beguiled. It's funny how that scatter plot turns this into political distinction, though. Yeah, I guess Trumpism sort of requires the gullibility - but it's still a goodly amount misleading. There are plenty of folk out there that just don't trust vaccines, regardless of whether they are GOP this ...Dem liberal that - in fact, the majority of anti-vaccine types: that came from the liberals originally...about 15 or 20 years ago - hello. There are those that are also religiously rooted, too - but it is also a vaguely supported stereotype at best, that religion should be automatically cast/assumed to be GOP as their political leanings anyway. It's a percentage game when it comes to politics vs religion. We have to be gaslighted over not wearing masks and not getting vaccines, because 10 % of the population mass is at risk of x-y-z, yet ... we cast all humans that don't want vaccines as tongue fu'ing Trumpism? Got it - hypocrisy much. It's bullshit. The whole f'n thing is based on perception. We live in a world blessed with hiding in falsity when we don't like the disillusionment of reality - and it is gotten so bad, distinction is know longer knowable. What we need is humility at a species level. You know ... make the right decision or your kids don't eat and they DIE. We'll see how quickly that sobers people up to facts ...the rest? That's Darwinism.

Heh... right - Seriously though, I went to bed at 3-1 in the top of the 9th ...and woke up 5-4 red sox. wow -

Since people asked me heh ... I was never an 'anti vaccine' dude. I just never thought about getting one. Most dudes in my various social bubbles are the same. Their up in it with life and don't think about it. And guess what? They're healthy- ...worrying on about mortgage and career and their kids special needs or talents, global warming and the Red Sox. I was always just in good enough health and fitness that it didn't matter, as I was wending my way through life as a [ I guess ] self-centered typical American asshole. In fact, being raised and socialized entirely within the gestalt of Assoledium, I didn't even know I was an asshole. But what this whole saga has evinced is that people are assholes for not getting vaccinated - whether they know it or not. It's built in gaslighting... Because the guilt precedes the accusation, when people don't even know they are assholes for breathing. the majority of people out there are still not going to die or even suffer permanent jack shit from this f'n thing. But because someone else "might" that's enough to make people feel ashamed for living. So, now the dudes in the social bubbles 'ill have to add that to the list, I guess. In the year 1642, people understood what it meant, "tough shit then you die" Now? entitlement drives all this vitriol. Awesome...

I mean we could bring the heat back. It's just that this modeling persistence to block/shun it S, consummately correcting late mid/ext into backing NW continental flow after July's, that has a recent multi-year precedence/repetition. That circumstantially tends to coax one into believing we're just destined to the same muted later summer. So we'll see. It almost seems like a sped up atmosphere rushes seasonal change - the visionary in me sees this as a 50 year predicament until the warm engulfing of the planet has finally penetrated and warm the poles so much that who knows what that future looks like.. I mean... we snow in October/November's like Pez ...and send 70 to 80 F in Feb's and March's? These are happening regardless of ENSO this, or solar cycle that, SSW whatever. And no, this muting of later summers autumn doesn't always show up in the scalar temperatures. It's really more of a pattern tendency that sometimes results in early chill. ..That's the take away.

What are you ... a sociopath ? LOL j/k

It's funny how relative to whatever the model illustrations there are...there's always this interpretation effort for how it can be dramatic and entertaining. Reliance on weather -cinema ... it never goes away. That pattern out there looks like summer's ending frankly. Not sure we are going to stop the hemisphere from continuing to pack the heat backward toward the SW-W. Every time we do see the models send a ridge to 90 W, the next three runs are academically finding least excuse imagined to repack, and we end up right back in NW flow again This has happened every august the last 7 years running. This is what ends up then being a winter prolapse in October and November, as imagine - if you will - pushing this look ahead seasonally with hemispheric height reduction and there you are. But it doesn't mean or dictate or predict the DJF mean very well... as that mid part of winter than modulates/guided by increasing compression from HC expansion. This/thus speeding up the ambient geostrophic wind velocity, so much so that in turn... de-climatizes the R-wave distribution and concomitantly f'up all the longer term geo- telecon suggesters.

Yeah but your golf ball isn't that one there on the green ...I think I did see a splash out there in the distance though - past performance argues you should start looking there.

Tampa Bay ain’t goin nowhere

Uh much better baseball

Lol.... of course you read that - in today's feckless ethicality in news media. maximize both.... 'oh my god run for your lives'

wait ... was there an 'unusually high number' of tornadoes in China, or just one that happened to strike a heavier urbanized region -

I dunno about that. I guess if it reminds people that's all that matters? Not sure that qualifies though - is 82/58 F a shot across the bow when that's just climate? There is obviously subjectivity to the concept of 'satb' air massing but at minimum an active NW breeze evenings that smell like frost even though they won't really fall below 43 in the bogs and dales. The air does not feel 'fragile' for the warmth that it has, either. There's that ineffable aspect about that 76 F day in latter August, when the sun still feels warm and it is by all rights a mild to warm day. But the emerald blue clarity of the sky, low DPs and the steady NNW breeze has the temperature falling at the same rates as the sun's approach to the western tree-line, and it just feels naked and vulnerable. This? Feels to me more like normal temperate mid latitude aspects - which ironically, we have not seen much of. It's difficult to gather one's mind around the notion of 'seasonal change homage' in July though. I see where you are coming from; this air mass is distinctly different than it's been. Hell, maybe climate change means that merely falling to average is such a feat, because average belies the state of the climate. Get's confusing when the climate goal-posts are moving...

Yeah I know... which is up 15 from the year before, which was up 10 from the year before that, and a hand full of 3% in the years prior since I purchased this place in the autumn of 2009. Again, been here longer than I ever anticipated - it was a bout up unemployment. Has a way of extending plans exponentially - geez. But, all told, it's like 60 .. 70% appreciated in those 10.5 years. Not sure if that means my house, per se.. but it tends to market-pull by regional value gravity from what I'm told, and 'sides, the barometer is the all the damn cold calling. But like others are saying, where does one go ? Unless I choose to cut ties with the region

Oh we got our "hashes" handed to us - lol

Yeah,... I figured it something like this. But Ayer? - yeaheh... Maybe Sutton Ma or Auburn I dunno... Ayer's still having a bit of post side of the tracks vibe, albeit mashing in with that boom wave and some earlier professionals trying to gentrify. I live with the Purple line rail across the street - literally. And freights are parked and bangin' away there often too. It sucks. I mean I guess in any point of sale I wouldn't mention that, haha. But I almost wonder if these cold callers have any clue about those details. What is interesting is that my lot is probably the biggest on this block, but the house is tiny. It's like a little cape with a 2nd floor. I guess the old salt, middle Massachusetts old school racist with the garbled cantankerous voice tells me it was a barn 100 years ago and was modulated over the generations into this quasi-finished home. I've put more money into this place than I really should have. I just replaced the windows 7 k - f! New back roof. Referbed the foundation. New flooring. Running out of ambition for it.

Seriously though ... I have family back in western lower Michigan. The region still has it's ills but by and large, it is apparently improved tremendously. Lots of newer construction and of course, Kalamazoo is a college town with a couple universities and a handful of 2-year CC's. Kids are apparently opting to graduate and stay in the area because houses are so cheap by ours and california/florida type standards, by factors actually. 500 K property here is like 80 ..90 K there. You could sell your house, and by one out right there, and have a puffy nest egg left over... And the only thing sacrificed is big snow winters - lol... which may be worth it, I dunno. But I've been thinking about it. I keep getting mail fliers and postcards, and random cold calls and texts from anxious home buyers. But I don't get it - if they are going to buy my property and raise the fugger and build a new one... how are they going resell ? I'm not sure I get the economic circuitry here. I don't juggle concepts in real-estate economics like atmospheric telecon spreads -

I'm a "petty cynicist" ... heh. I sort of automatically attempt to ferret out the "real" motivation when I read/encounter these sort of musings. Humans do that. Throughout history, we cloak real intent/ ambitions behind some other disttracting righteous indignation. In other words, lie what's bugging us, in order to get something else we really want - that which inspires some sort of personal reflection or guilt or something of probably questionable ethicality. In this case, people don't want to work. COVID fears ... that's a seemingly endless cash-in excuse.. For those that will probably still get paid or can rely on supplemental means...etc, my cynicism wonders if that's more instrumental in that morass. That simple. I'm probably wrong to some degree. But I know I'm partially right.

- it's 'Planned Obsolescence' coming back. In the late 1950s and 60s there was a legislation and codification of laws against manufacturing practices that attempted to set up time-clock failure. It's a catch-22 in economics, though. Longer ranting version: So they ratified back then.. But, "back then" even the better industrial manufacturing standards were only going to last so long - corporate Americana fought back by espousing "new and improved" to justify raising prices - code for, 'we're no longer screwing the consumer'. Go figure... the 1970s showed really poor base-line economic profiling? It wasn't just oil embargoes causing that. As an aside: American capitalism was always doomed to be a throw-away system. Greed orgasm before projection, stripping environmental resources became easier than recycling to make products that replaced that which was originally destined not to last and just get thrown away. That's why we have all them defunct land-fill hills outside of Americana U.S. ... given kitschy tongue-in-cheek names like "Mt Trashmore" ...etc. Letting off industrial farts from decades ago. They even have stove pipes for out-gassing. This is the interesting aspect... Refinement, in both computer/chip technologies and in material sciences, feed back and that state-of-the-art has sophisticated to the point where they really can put together machines that last - if they want, so putting those in then gives the proxy back to the consumer and the corporation once again, cannot make there economic -relative profit margins again. Which is really got greed ambition built into all that but ... different cynicism. So here's how they combat that: it gets too difficult to prove; component analysis for the elaborate arrays spaghetti logic ... renders to a veritable state of dyscalculia when dissecting modern industrial devices - its impossible to prove in all that where/what/why as failure is often a result of when two parts are operating together, as opposed to just one of them not working at all. That requires secondary and tertiary ... polynomial recursive testing to prove and that cannot be done in practicum. .... and sociopathic industry knows that - SO, "Moore's Law" improves everything, except that which applies to where money is being made? you now ...cars and appliances - yeah, that's not suspect. whatever - There will probably be a crack down again at some point .. cyclic I suppose. For one, the non-sustainability of environmental impact from Humanity's carbon footprint ...isn't just what we burn in the daily fossil fuels. That base-line energy generation is integral in that entire model above, so to really get ahead of what WILL propel this mass-extinction event forward should there be no reduction, will also have to effect this shit above. It's possible to power humanity using technology so slick we don't need the old model of internal combustion turning magnets inside of copper coils - it's like we taken that model as far as it can go, both in practice and in peril, because to continue doing so, will end us. Necessity tends to breed invention - and frankly. I've heard of private scientist that found ways of extracting electricity out of the free air. It's all a f'ing joke anyway.

Like we said yesterday ... Too early for then, too late for today. Perfectly wrong timing -

So then …. is this what it looks when we’ve entered the “ covid is never going away“ phase? …. A realm where every little f-big itty-bitty nonlinear upward motion along a curve that is physically impossible to be flat, just so CNN gets to make another billion bucks out of blown-out-of-proportion, knee-jerk incendiary rabble rousing bullshit headline tsunami. Got it

I think it’s interesting those summers then were hot in aggregate. May be some form of underpinning similarities hm

Yeah that Euro-esque idea has been off and on in the last 4 days -worth of modeling cycles. Not sure I buy it ..well, buy for our lat/lon. Who would at this range - right? But, more so because the flow is trying to set up both a +PNA/+PNAP -extension, over the top of that. I don't know if the HC is expanded enough to really push the Pac-relay into N/A that far N ..in fact, it probably hasn't. Push comes to shove, that many isohyses and compressed wind velocity ranging N of Lake Superior will probably confluent, and some sort of BD or frontal ablation into the eastern OV/NE regions is too physically temping for fate to avoid it ha. Chicago may make history there. One note of caution, the Euro tends if anything to bias cool with 850 mb layouts beyond D5. I see it add 2 to 4 C at that level pretty routinely going from D10 to nearer terms in totality. So, whomever does end up SW of that shunt wall .. Put it this way, that D4 has 30 C over Nebraska at 850 and it is precariously prepared to eject - instead, the model mutes the air mass to "only" 22C ... Yeah, someone out there makes a 105
