Weak polar vortex gives hints of what to expect this winter
  • Let me repeat that. There is no polar vortex in the northern hemisphere right now!

    Not with that attitude!

    Thanks for posting, I always find meteorology fascinating and hungrily read up info posted from people like yourself. Please keep doing it, us buffoons that aren't trained really rely on people like you helping to cut through misinformation when it comes to weather and climate.

    How do you put a giraffe in a fridge?

    Trump is 'hanging himself' with his own rope as campaign spirals out of control: analyst
  • I would agree with your thinking that it's probably too late - look at RFK, he narrowly got his name off of North Carolina ballots, they have to reprint a fuck ton of them.

    He wasn't so lucky in Michigan, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled he must stay on the ballot.

    Unlocked, loaded guns more common among parents who give kids firearm lessons
  • When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s my Grandfather who served in WW2 kept guns in several closets and under two beds at least, and I also knew where the ammo was located. I knew to never mess with them but times sure have changed.

    Nowadays I lock mine up responsibly and never loaded. I've not started giving my kids lessons though, since they're not even 10 yet. We've talked about safety though. I think that education is super important.

    I've thought about one of those hidey wall shelves but am a bit scared to have anything quick access that they could stumble upon.

    Something’s Poisoning America’s Land. Farmers Fear ‘Forever’ Chemicals.
  • Maybe we should keep destroying EPA protections in the name of corporate profits without paying attention. Surely it's not an issue this generation will ever have to deal with. The idiot new generations can figure it out later. Am I MAGA'ing right?

    Discussion: AMD graphics drivers, what's your experience with them?
  • My 7900xtx is also working flawlessly.

    I've not had an Nvidia card since the 8800gts and have never really ever had issues with my AMD cards. Their drivers are generally very stable and the cards always seem to have more longevity.

    I also never had the high wattage issue you experienced.

    Works great for VR too.

    Our kid's musical plush uses a USB-rechargable battery instead of accumulators
  • I don't know that accumulators have to be rechargeable, just an object that collects (even if only at its initial charge) and stores energy.

    It's just not a term I hear often, and I thought it was interesting. I like also hearing about how other countries use the term, it's enlightening. I didn't realize that it is the primary term to refer to a battery in several countries.

    Our kid's musical plush uses a USB-rechargable battery instead of accumulators
  • I know it's proper usage of the word accumulators, but I've basically never heard anyone refer to them that way.

    Are you a part of the Borg by any chance, OP? 🙂
