weatherwiz Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Does anyone know what exactly is "plotted" on stream function re-analysis? I've tried to read and I guess it has to do with geostrophic equilibrium. As an example, I posted this which was during the strong EL Nino of 1997-1998. For La Nina's we see opposite shadings. What exactly is this depicting and what importance does it hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that guy back to "Weird Science" in the early 1980s.

Anyway, cheers to years of being off and on in our cinematic panorama, yet seemingly as a supporting character ...ever indispensable. I was reflecting on this loss this afternoon ... but not just him. It's been a star-studded couple of years for the grim reaper. Unusually large numbers of casualties, at unusually young ages. It's bad but...somehow, given the present day zeitgeist, it just seems worse. It's worse because we are already steeped in an apparent dystopian societal cataclysm, when a misogynistic braggart could ever rise to power, replete with fascist ...if not, outright totalitarian attempts in the greatest public office perhaps known to Humanity - it's a daunting, terrifying prospect, that too few are either aware, respect, or worse of all, even covet. To do so, by any civilization, and knowing that we who are in better valor, must share kinship with that same population/culture? Now is not the time to lose our brethren and heritages, and that is exactly what these icons, slipping from our proverbial grasp accomplishes doing: We are orphaned by the decay of reason, left that much more alone against a seemingly intractable enemy.

Now is not the time to lose our brethren and heritages, and that is exactly what these icons, slipping from our proverbial grasp accomplishes doing: We are orphaned by the decay of reason, left that much more alone against a seemingly intractable enemy. It is an awful situation. I'm not sure I'll ever fully understand the social forces that brought us here, except perhaps that the contempt for so-called "establishment" politicians was so extreme the People preferred to elect any outsider, regardless of bonafides, over the modern embodiment of the "corrupt" Establishment in Mrs. Clinton. But I would remind you that our Founding Fathers had a deep and abiding suspicion of arbitrary executive power (for good reason) and put ample provision in the Constitution for removing a president for high crimes or for being non compus mentus. Our military, although led by a civilian president, swears to defend the Constitution, not personal loyalty to the person of the president (as is typical of monarchies and banana republics). Our courts have a long history of constraining presidents when they exceed their mandate. If anything, I see this administration as a test of our republican values; I'm fairly confident we'll weather it. We have indefeasible rights that no one can deny us. Our brand equity may take a vicious drubbing for a while; there will likely be some discord. Of course, I suppose things could go majorly t*&s up, in which case it's worth remembering that over the long run, whether speaking of individuals or species, survivability goes to zero. Can't beat entropy. Whether it's nukes, pandemic, AI, gene manipulation gone wrong, climate change, CMEs, asteroids, or super volcanoes that undo us ( heck, even if we beat the odds until the sun dies and consumes the earth in a billion years), entropy will ultimately be maximized. The fate of the universe is dark, cold, empty and lifeless. So, let us just accept our station as a passing anomaly and be thankful that some incredible miracle allowed us to be here at all and to develop sufficient intelligence to contemplate our utter utter insignificance.

Politics aside, the number of celebs that have died in the last couple of years is probably no more nor less than in years past. Maybe there are just more celebrities in our group consciousness since media has been thrusting itself more and more into our lives over th last 50 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a commiseration sentiment written specifically for a particular cause and has, it had zippo anything to do with anything else. It was an emotive offering to that cause - I suspect more 'critical' capable readers understood that delivery and intent. Even if the numbers are the same ...which could be vetted... the sentiment doesn't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hey guys. Any bird experts. Bluebirds arrived up here in our apple orchards this AM. I just counted 5. Never seen them this early. Cold wave the end of this week with night temps in the teens or perhaps single numbers. Will bluebirds even survive with temps so low? At least the pasture is mostly cleared of snow. Any thoughts?

Good stuff indeed. Jeez John.. sensitive much? Not sure how that was an attack on you at all. A few points... 1) I have met you face to face before, so I am not sure how I am faceless. 2) Thank you for calling me (on appearance) an a-hole and petty and provincial 3) The number of deaths thing I mentioned was based on several articles I had read toward the end of 2016 / early 2017 Here is an example from the BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38329740 The key line that I would break out is this... "He thinks that the increase isn't particularly surprising, because we're now half a century on from the flourishing of both TV and pop culture in the 1960s, which massively expanded the overall pool of public figures. " , which was the point I was making. We have more people we are calling celebs. I had not read your MIT study and have no issues with it. I really think that on this matter, you seem to be the one who is being rather petty. Once again, you claim an intellectual superiority on all subjects, and broad brush a large number of people on this forum in an attack. You have done this countless times and yet you accuse others of misbehaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
