@TheOldGuy And the people complained that Biden didn't return it fast enough. :)

#physics #weather **NOAA world temp plot down** This is boring and requires no thought on my part. People will read it how they want to.

It's almost noon here, and I have to turn off my brain, so I can sleep. I'm signing out, and leaving this. They are mixing storms and rivers. Stivers? Rivorms? The fun never stops. :)

@zleap The kids here do the popsicle stick bridge in school.

@zleap That's funny. No crime, but Zuck sucked the life out of the world. Take that to court! :)

@cyrilpedia I always get the next variant before the new vaccine comes out. Guess I shouldn't be pissed about that. :)

@zleap Oh, I'm a civil engineer, and it's sooo boring! I used civil engineering stories to put the kids to bed.

@zleap He needs to fly off in his jet somewhere. :)

@acjay I've written about that and it's somewhere in the archives. Basically, I've defined a condition called 'Brilliantitis' that is a brain defect from Northern Europe, probably the Vikings. It is a sliding scale of brain serotonin and it is hereditary, about 1 in 3 kids. It leads to great depression by 40, but the super-bright die early. Strikes poets, artists, etc. All the bright people self-medicate with booze, drugs, etc. If you can avoid early death, then start taking Paxil in micro doses, near 40, and then heavier. I get the brain storms in the morning and whack it down with cannabis, if its bad. Without drugs the brain storms last all night, and you are more suicidal.

#physics #weather **Happy Toronto** Not quite California-grade, but fun for us.

@magicaltrout Ha, the worst is playing 'candy crunch' on the phone. The key to happiness is to have every disk in your back made of rubber. When they turn to stone, yipes!

@JustMenniss That's neat. My son has one of the first Ford electric cars with practically no range in the winter. I call it the toy car.

@magicaltrout Find the book 'Treat your neck' and steal it. Makes you feel good. Seriously, if you are young enough, then do 'pigeons' where you push your chin in. If you are over the hill, then you need that horrible German surgery where they go through the front of your neck and tap in vampire stakes. Look it up and cringe! Doesn't work for long.

@acjay The mechanism for 'genius' is to have no serotonin in your brain. Does not lead to a long life.

@nomi Alone in my bed
My brain is storming
I whack it with my cannabis stick

@SETIEric Neat, I am now adding that hashtag to my post. With all this rain, a new hashtag will be #soggyearthquakes :)

@users Is that clipping or saturation? :)

@cyrilpedia In Canada, we'll trade you penicillin for tylenol. :)

@lupyuen I *knew* it was the League of Corrupt Gentlemen. :)

#physics #weather **Siberian Freeze** This is only funny because it's the washpost, and last year Siberia was the poster-child for selected 'heat stories'. If you look at the temp anomaly map, you warm and colder than normal spots. **'Those who lack nuance'** just zoom into the warm spots for their stories.
