October 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[Anti Marine Layer]

Being real here...I haven’t even begun to think about winter yet. I just want this stupid fücking heat to end.

 

Going to be 95+ degrees again tomorrow. The weather hasn’t changed for over 5 months now.

 

Crazy

[GHweatherChris]

Only if you spell it “penus” so everyone feels included and it is more gender neutral

Fuuck that

Luckily the forecast for DC looks like plenty of relief is on the way. Hopefully you can score some cool days.

Second rate licorice coated in chalky white and purple sugar paste.

[Jesse]

I actually sort of like them.

I'd like to think I'm adventurous in terms of food choices (plus, I've eaten Natto before and nothing can be worse), so I'd love to try it sometime.

44F in downtown Springfield. Another clear night. Will probly stay in the 40s but we’ll see.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

What about one of these for fair food? I’m all about the fried Oreos and also chicken fried bacon.

Fried alligator is good!

[Deweydog]

There’s plenty of them because they suck a** and no one likes them.

Natto isn't really all that bad; I've tried it. Then again, I like strong and unusual flavors.

 

For bad, you can't beat salt licorice. Yes, a salt "candy" made mostly with salt instead of sugar. Wait… it gets worse. It's often not normal table salt (sodium chloride) but ammonium chloride instead. It tastes like one might imagine a mouthful of Windex or Mr. Clean would taste. It's popular in northern Europe.

That doesn’t explain the “good” part.

Nothing goes with a movie like a big can of baked beans.   

 

WTF ND?

I think they mean these:

 

Boston Baked Beans

Boston Baked Beans History

 

"The Boston Baked Bean" is a generic name used throughout the candy industry for sugar coated peanuts. The Ferrara Pan Candy Company developed their line of Boston Baked Beans in the early 1930's, right around the same time that Red Hots were introduced.

Ahhhh.

 

I grew up just a couple hours from ND and have never heard of that term for candy in my life.

Natto's taste for me is fine, it's the texture which I cannot stand. But gosh, salt licorice sounds awful, and I'll have to try it sometime haha

The Japanese make candy from actual beans:

I thought it was strange at first but I've actually grown quite fond of it.

Is that a potential wind event on the EURO?

For Seattle, of course, gradient isn’t much for PDX.

[OKwx2k4]

Missouri, Sour Path Kids, lol. They forgot the C in Patch. Well, they're not known for their spelling bee champs up there.

 

My state's favorite is a raisinet? It's a waste of good chocolate if you ask me. Lol. Are you kidding me? Lame.

[Front Ranger]

Alex Jones reporting that the candies on the map paid to be on there. States went to the highest bidder.

[TacomaWaWx]

Got down to 39 last night in Tacoma. Currently 40 degrees.

Deep.

Went online to see what cliff mass posted this morning, wasn’t expecting that. Crazy s**t going on at UW .

 

Unfortunately, none of it surprises me. Suppression of free speech and differing ideas is all too common in academia today.

Yikes, they need some Baked beans!

37* for a low this morning and birds be singing!!!

[TacomaWaWx]

Just totally ridiculous. Nobody should have their opinions suppressed because it differs from “what your opinion should be”. Climate change has become such an emotionally charged politicized topic now that you will get called a racist Republican trump lover for disagreeing, even if you’re not a “conservative”. (Not trying to advocate for conservatives or liberals just don’t like censorship of ideas).

[Phil]

It’s disturbing to watch. The suppression of intellectual debate (including, recently, some potentially groundbreaking science) is the antithesis of higher education and enlightenment.

 

And it never ends well. You can only keep that cork in for so long.

[Jesse]

Low of 36 here this morning. Third consecutive low in the 30s.

[Phil]

Much like everything else in the universe, though, this sociopolitical stuff is also cyclical. It’s just the nature of humanity and societies.

 

Usually runs 3-4 generations..dogma is born, maintained, then undermined/inverted from within/below.

[TacomaWaWx]

Gfs is still advertising WA being briefly clipped by a storm from the NW early next week.

Looks pretty chilly. Would be another shot of lows in the 30s with that pattern.
