Typhoon Tip

Looks on radar like it's all en masse should accelerate out by early afternoon when using NCAR - NWS radar ...which is about as useful as tits on a buffalo and I don't/can't understand why that organization isn't answering to anyone for that piece of shit ... sorta looks the same

main westerlies have retreated into southern Canada ...leaving ill-defined whimp wave -ridge oscillations rippling through the 500 mb from D3-6 ... 7, over a region with 570 hydrostatic heights and diurnal ... I think someone is getting thunder one at least one and probably a couple of those days. How organized/structures probably depends -

Nice compromise ... it did bump east on whole, but really it is more like the gradient shrank in size. You go from .1" in tin to well over an inch across the width of townships down there. Whole nother look tomorrow. Should by 88/67 over metrowest to ASH-FIT-MHT

Meanwhile definitive western edge of leaf is clearing the Jersey coast. rad has a batch clipping eastern zones but unless it gets a ‘roid inject somehow the GFS East bias may win this thing … not seeing where a 2nd wave gets mechanical support either. it’s always tough along the western edge. remember the Euro’s 2’ phantom blizzard for NYC?

Lol ... this concept was floated in the early months of this thing ...way back there. Astute visions asked the question, is the reaction disproportionate and therefore MORE harmful. It's interesting how many isms were forethought and how few of them were actually tested or circled back on -

In the end its probably just component in the greater social experiment of this thing. It may mimic or formulate as though, casting off affectations of planned this and social-engineering that. But it's like the first time in history the entire world has gathered around a common interests and visions toward the same directive/goal, that did not require or result in a WORLD WAR. I've opined in the past, but it is a historic sort of ...well IS a watershed moment in history. But part of that is seeing it through? - I think... Like, we've come this far, now finish the task. A lot of the underlying motivation in urgency is a cultural abstraction/vibe more so then a disclosed or discretely observable directive. Think fad to see it through ... I think it's proportionality in a lot of ways. There have been anit-vaxxers and in general, eye-brow raising about vaccines since mid last Century. Yup. But, only now when it is possible to mechanize an entire billion population to that, and make surveilled by media coverage ... etc etc, the scale of awareness and anti-sentiment grows in direct proportion and seems now like a civil war of ideologies in the matter. So, us more passive types ...cerebral and observant about it, do "kinda sorta" get caught in the cross fire by wondering ... 'yeah, why is it so urgent' - it's probably more just grander awareness. I think LOL

mmm.. sentiment shared by a lot more folk than just yourself if it makes you feel any better.

Yeah, they're really helpful in CS, too. I called them and there was little hold time, and connected to competency - relatively savvy sounding level 1 support is probably all you'll need. Describe your symptoms vs needs, and that individual will probably ask you about gaming and station/port numbers in the household, etc... Y'all arrive at a model the best suits your need - I only went with the multi channel because at some point a spare bedroom ( was thinking...) would be converted to a nice home office, so I'd need access with lucidity from that area of the home...blah blah you get it. Shipping time was like 4 days. Problems solved -

LYNKSIS router - I have a 4-channel broadband WIFI powerful enough that SETI could operate out of the home - ha! I don't use 95% of the thing's capacity ... Yeah, maybe a bit of an over -purchase, but LYNKSIS tech support was indicating pretty convincingly that the state of the art/direction isn't going the other way, anyway. I was getting stalls and time outs with weather maps and satellite and porn (kidding). Then, work started booting me off their server. Database programming would hesitate too long compiling relatively non-taxing scripts. ...etc... Internet speed test was like 10 mps ... I'm thinking, whaaaaa In 2020? So, went on their website, figuring the near 15 year old router might be bottlenecking... and got this one for like 85 bucks... They start at 50 and go to 300 for multi- plex gaming and streaming throughout larger facilities, which I don't need. Got it out of the package, jumped through an hour of config and securities language I did not understand, but once all was connecting, now I'm haulin at 400 to 500 mps!! I've never gotten a hesitation while streaming NETFLIX shit since I got this, and weather satellite and mobile model loops rotate through their cinema without stalls on lap-tops. General web use loads pages from the future ....

ha, right - zactly

yeah, I seriously have been bugged for some time with thoughts about 'unplugging' COMCAST is arrogantly got the world by the ballz - or think they do. Are they aware there are other options? I just think their circuitry is unevolving and almost pure profit - I don't like orgs that just collect. The feckless nature of capitalism won't reduce prices in that state. The infrastructure is/has been in place, for some time. They do nothing that isn't software related ...and only roll-out minor changes that are over marketed but do nothing to enhance or improve jack shit. And infrequently to justify the average bill of 200 ( say ) $ per household, combined with untold business packages? I mean spanning some 200 million entities - They are a multi billion dollar gaping greed maw masquerading as a telecom service/organization and I would love to just stop throwing money into their throat. Obviously I'm being hyperbolic in jest and complaint to some degree... I have freinds that have cut ties. They went to another means to get good web service into the home, and then rely on that to service news to entertainment. Their lives - they've told me - were unchanged and nothing missed. That's part of the 'big cable' delusion - they seem to benefit from a kind of abstract fear that people/orgs/society et al have that they will 'miss out.' None of these cats miss games in sports. They know when bombs go off in cafes ... what celebrity o.d.ed, or stately figure or 'nobleman' got accused of rape, in the same space as anyone else. And the key is, they spend like 10... 20% of the previous conglomerate dependency model is/was. Jesus..why haven't I done this yet.

yeah ... tend to agree here. I opined and was ignore myself just an hour ago, how the Euro and now-cast (sat/rad/obs..) combined seemed to argue a slightly more evolved cyclogen. Albeit weak, ... the PWAT is exceptional. Like ... don't need a blow torch to ignite a nitro, just a subtle match'll do the trick. BOOM... choke rain off a butterfly fart. This latter metaphor is a lot of 'what this comes down to' just as well. I mean, where it rains as a result of lopping upper bound physical PWAT amounts over weak triggers, will make people think the Canary Islands went ahead a bifurcating sending a 1500' tsunamis clear to the Berkshire 'new coast'

Kind of tough to go against the Euro at this range - this intonation may not be 'meant' but it doesn't seem to respect the Euro? It's okay, to each his own. But the Euro, contrary to meme and music therein, is a superior guidance technology at this range so disregards at one's own risk I suppose. Doesn't mean it will be right - no. But it's a risk.

The Omega Strain - wait 'till this thing works its way through the entire Greek alphabet ... look out! Cuz of course, it's much more dramatic and saleable than the boring old familar A-B-C's that way so its gotta be extra super scary

Heh.. pound for pound deer may be the dumbest mammals alive. I doubt it takes much denting of I.Q there to get one drooling while wondering around doing mobius loops. But the zombie-deer is funny euphemism. you take a big mass with zero higher order intelligence capacity/wholly guided by congenital heredity for impulse, ... cut some wires in the head, while maintaining a heart beat - yeah... I guess that would mimic a zombie. Kosher - ing is going to be a technological futures. Particularly if that shit ever got transmissible zoonotically - there's a sci fi novel

I haven't been completely sold on this even taking place - not as heavy as the NAM. The longer sermon version of this scenario would describe a situation that has morphed from a retro warm boundary, to an actual albeit rather anachronistic sort of coastal low. The prior renditions by the NAM weren't coastal lows - they were convective feed-back phantoms, evidenced by the fact that every cycle of the model had different foci. However, present sat/rad and at least one global model argues for the better synoptic forcing, and the consensus with the Euro adds to that. It's weak, but still having extraordinarily rich PWAT atmosphere. Blah blah no one'll read it anyway ... rains hugely more than a cyclone this paltry typically does.

Well … I guess in that situation you would not be ‘meeting deliverables with qualitative results’ huh you wouldn’t expect those people to do things from home and zoom but… Like I was just saying to Phin … we may not have any choice as a species at a species level it seriously all going to have to change and the sooner the better. this pandemic has that weird kind of serendipitous timing that will take historians to recognize -because sooner is better and perhaps necessity; it’s really giving us a perfect opportunity to experiment with a new way of thinking about labor and occupation and resource logistics and management across the whole spectrum of industry. Wake up call

Well unfortunately the accompanying leverage has less to do with what people want. It has to do with what corporations are willing to pay for. The impetus: companies do not want to pay overhead for facilities when all of this has exposed the previous model giant money sink all along. Pressure from environmentalist and the very real environmental concern with a carbon footprint is also modulating or modifying those decision making. There is a quantitative energy consumption from the moment somebody leaves the house in the morning to the moment they come home; that entire spectrum of affairs costs environment exactly where the environment cannot afford to spend. Most people who are business owners don’t think about this kind of stuff; they are intrinsically GOP types whether they mean to be or not - unwittingly so. Or they specialized in green renewable space, or they are going to be downsizing, whether they mean to or not. For companies that come before the environment … we’re coming to a point where the environment started to dictate policy because we have no fing choice and so neither will they Anyone who thinks or projects otherwise is on the wrong side of history…

Work revolution cannot be stopped. as the saying goes …that’s a ship that has definitely sailed.

Why? if they are getting work done and meeting deliverables with qualitative results what difference does it make where they do it

Yeah well not entirely sure you’re all not being had anyway -

Yup looks like it

Wow that’s some insane meteorology on that 18z NAM 25kt E wind at Logan jars S at 30 during 2 hours of fire hosing Usually you don’t jolt conveyors in the lower levels like that…

either people don't want to; people still think they don't have to ever get sick or die. pick one
