Game Physics for Weather
Cold blobs and warm ocean plumes can be programmed as objects. They have mass, kinetic and potential energy, and vector momentum. They are the anti-tank missile and the tank. Storms are effects of the two colliding. The Jet Stream is a linear storm and does not provide a force to move objects.
@EviVin Yes, we used to do that. Just put a few cm of soil in a pan. When it's done, trim the greens and dump the soil in the garden.
@AJtheEngineer @engineeringdad If you think there is window (leak before break), then use the casters that flip on. After all, there are earthquakes. However, lithium fires are one in million, with no warning. I would get one of those automatic powder systems, and ditch extra combustibles.
@AJtheEngineer @engineeringdad The pallets are wood, for genie sake!
@AJtheEngineer @engineeringdad Sorry, am I imagining you running for a forklift to move a burning battery?
@marathon0 then we got more ascii porn off usenet. That was destroyed when AOL got on. :(
@mtomczak We start it from seed every year. This was a bumper brocc year. Never been so good, or so much.
@marathon0 No, Compuserve was the first in the office. We got ascii porn off that.
@marathon0 That comes from experience with all social networks since 1980. As soon as I join, it dies. :)
@radehi Neat, you sound like me.
@LouisIngenthron Your Florida neighbours are all Canadian. :)
Disorganized clippers hit North America. A cold blob heads for Europe.

Pacific plumes hitting straight north usually give clippers, which are layered cold/hot streams from the NW. Now, we just have 'clipper swirled ice cream' Europe may be at the end of their happiness as a blob is forming, but it has to fight the Atlantic plumes.

This is always the same. ""Somebody higher up got an email and basically clicked a link they weren't supposed to,"
I always found that the 'top egos' always wanted tremendous access while letting their kids play with their laptops.
@markmetz @atomicpoet @Sbectol The problem was that the Internet took away all the classified ads from the main media. Now they struggle and have to be tabloids. I have a subscription service for my ebooks, and I suppose that will be the future for journalists.
Montreal earthquake

Earthquakes are my main love, but nothing has really happened over the last 20 years. I'm more interested in mechanisms and effects on structures. This was a common earthquake for the area.
@EviVin I use fountain pumps to circulate a solution from the sump on the bottom. Those lights are getting quite cheap.
Descended from Unix freaks, I evolved to Linux. Some people might consider me old at 60+, but I'm suing the world to get my age down to 30.
I have a blog https://ontario-geofish.blogspot.com/
and it is read by 8 people. My formal education is in an extinct branch of science called geophysics. Since there was no money in it, I went to engineering. I've done tunnels, radwaste thingies, etc.
