Santa Claus

usually i am too afraid to shitpost jokes in a serious thread but Rjay is currently at the store buying seven gallons of 2% milk and a pallet of jumbo eggs the mods are vulnerable boys no but seriously Rjay good luck holy shit

many models, some of the best models, are saying Henri is so weak. he's a total disaster, OK? his inner core, it's so fake and so bad. no one has seen dry air intrusion like this, believe me.

this strengthening breeze really helps cut the humidity

all 10 of them its a small Irish family

oh so when she does it it’s beautiful and amazing and when I feed my children by mouth bystanders call the police. this whole country is bullshit.

buy a salt gun and prepare for war my friend

nice spot There has been a northern expansion of the range of the giant swallowtail in recent years which has been linked to increasingly warm temperatures, and particularly to a lack of September frosts in regions of expansion starting in 2001. Larvae were then able to withstand a few frosts before they pupated. The immediate effects of this warming, as well as their effect on host plants and predators, can explain the giant swallowtail's range expansion.[11

never mind the storms are getting annihilated i will stick to hamster breeding

nice line over PA moving in. I see flashes from well in the distance. again, i am not trying to make some pointed criticism of Mount Holly but these storm threats are more robust than forecast. this air mass just has too much fuel.

lol wow no shit? that's unbelievable. you get better lighting balance than i do. i don't know how to shoot lightning during the day with a 10 second shutter without everything getting blown out and the lightning being dim. probably more a function of the fact i don't know what i am doing than the camera/Lightroom

nice shooting Tex. do you have camera settings and EXIF data, just curious. do you press the shutter over and over again or is there a way to automate shots. i have a D850 but i haven't put the work in to figure it out, i just keep hitting the shutter every 10 seconds.

top 10 anime betrayals

IMBY (Piscataway) it was clear today and a 7P-2A 20% chance. i'm just saying in general, we had 30% chances Monday and Tuesday and the resultant storms covered a much more significant swath of the area, plus they didn't extend the watches either day and IMO they probably could/should have. when i think 30% chance i'm thinking some isolated cells or something not the kind of fairly robust MCC's we saw

i try to refrain from criticizing Mount Holly, because they are professionals and i am a complete doofus with a bachelor's degree in hamster breeding, but i have to say their t-storm forecasting hasn't been great this week. and here we (probably) go again.

lightning is so badass, basically the only thing i look forward to is more lightning. imagine seeing a bolt of forked electricity go miles through the sky and not thinking that's the coolest thing you ever saw in your entire life. not only that, it can happen over and over again, sometimes for hours. just hours of clouds shooting electricity and beating the shit out of everything in their way. trees, golfers, spotted lanternflies, fish just hanging out in the ocean. just stupid playthings getting endlessly electrocuted for the crime of being outside at the wrong time. every time i see a CTG bolt i think, that must've struck something on the ground, and i wonder what the hell that was.

nice squall line, wouldn't be surprised to see some flakes mix in tonight thanks to the low August 11th sun angle

his Lieutenant Governor, Kathy Hochul, will become the first governor of New York from upstate in over 100 years. that's pretty amazing.

Musk put the Roadster in orbit, you probably already knew that and that's a Freudian typo but just saying look my Serious Opinion About Mars (lol) is that if the private investments yield technology that enable us to deal with the kind of engineering problems that are coming up in the next 30 years, well that's great. but otherwise what the f are these people trying to do. there isn't going to be a civilization there. the kind of work necessary pales in comparison to making Earth some kind of environmental paradise and nobody's doing that.

rclab is a beautiful person. the still waters run deepest.

maybe it's just a lack of sufficient selective pressure. maybe American mantids are growing more aggressive or resilient over time to respond to the Chinese threat. this is the Space Race all over again.

they are noxious. large, quickish, stupid insects, and there's forty billion of them. i hate that Mars shit, has anyone told any of these people there's no water or oxygen on Mars? i hope that one day, that alien lizard muppet Jeff Bezos is crossing the street when he's hit by Elon Musk's self-driving Tesla bus, which then promptly self-engulfs in a massive lithium fire. they are two peas in a pod and i hope the pod is full of bedbugs. rclab i don't even want to wake up tomorrow and you're looking forward to 103. do you have any idea how many election cycles that is.

that’s what i mean, not a 2 inch rainer but a decent soak even when the forecast was a 30% chance showers. this radar isn’t 30% chance showers.

probably not an outright coup for the Euro but a nice surprise nice looking cyclone for August 8th

fun fact, if you find a mantis, it's very likely to be one of two invasives, most probably the Chinese mantis Tenodera sinensis but also perhaps the European mantis Mantis religiosa. seems from what i've read that the native Carolina mantis Stagmomantis carolina is a bronze medalist in its own backyard. cats are the ultimate invasives though. keep your cats inside please.

i can't wait to see what life is like in 2050 i'm guessing the average dew point year-round is 80 F and the few remaining survivors of COVID-48 subsist on a diet of spotted lanternflies and boiled plastic waste
