@cambridgeport90 Dark, cynical humour is bad habit. I was inspired by your bio to write mine, so you bring to mind Luna from Harry Potter. That's why I don't use my 'mountain of sarcasm' sigil any more, I don't write it. Watch 'Love by the square foot' on Netflix. It's pure humour.

@Galdrakinn Get the big Lindt one. We always had to start Nov. 1. :)

Ouch, I just cleaned up my saved passwords on Google Chrome. All my kids have gone through my account. So many passwords that I don't want to know! Good thing they are masked.

@cambridgeport90 Ha, not something you can learn. I used to mark my posts /\ -- the mountain of sarcasm. :)

@khird The main thing the lapse rate covers is getting heat energy from the surface of the earth to the very upper atmosphere. This is 100% convection according to physics. Then the heat energy is radiated out, and Earth acts like a heat bulb. The controversy is in the predominant mechanism of moving heat energy in the atmosphere. No split is allowed -- only one is the winner.

@khird Convection wins the lapse rate contest. We are talking about getting heat up from the surface of the earth, into space.

Big warm pulse coming to hit us (Toronto). One day of rainy warmth.

The Anchorage horizontal accelerations are coming in at .8 g. No velocities yet. That's huge for soil.

@spinflip Wow, I find these are impossible to muck up -- kernel panics, power failures, etc. Buy a lottery ticket.

Earthquake -- Anchorage is at the end of a magnificent back arc rift. The M7 is at the end of it. This is the initiation point for a possible M8. God speed to the residents.

@spinflip Hold everything. I just remembered that you cannot run an active Linux file system on the raspi 'bestbuy' micro sd. Those things scratch up like a vinyl record. Only so many read/writes. I program raspis all the time, and I stream data out. I have all my media files on magnetic disks.

@spinflip No idea, but it should be a journaled file system. That means every attempt has been made to recover it. Probably a hardware fault, in which case you are screwez vou'd. But, nice people will tell you to try fdisk, and fschk. Reformat and download again.
