All-time great bust!

Quite the flip in models now...looking much sunnier later next week.

LNK getting rocked…should be heading towards @gabel23??

I know, I was making a separate point. I will edit that. Sounds like a last second strike call-off. Bad communication I guess.

All this post tells me is that you have a lot of research to do on this topic. A lot. I like what Coleman Hughes says about color blindness, as hawks pointed out, but as I looked around his X profile and watched his interviews about Israel, he has glaring holes in his understanding. He does not have any knowledge of the historical motives from both sides, the political situations, the cynical bargaining, the ultimate goal of the far-right in Israel, the tactics used by the IDF, the cover the U.S. provides Israel in the UN, the lack of accountability the IDF has, the treatment of Arab Israelis, the treatment of Gazans, the rights taken away, the bulldozed cemeteries, the mass graves, the torture of innocent people, the shooting/bombing of their own hostages, the outright lies taken as truth, the international laws broken, the ultra nationalist groups in the IDF and their horrific actions, the intentional killing of journalists, the bastardization of the term "Anti-Semitic", the labeling of Jews who object to Israel's actions as "Self-hating", the labeling of Pro-Palestinian protestors as "Pro-Hamas"... none of it. He does not know what he is talking about. He only thinks he does. That makes me not respect him. He is a wannabe Hitchens or Rushdie minus all the context and raw knowledge. It's a genocide. People can deny it, but they are either ignorant or don't care.

ATC is not the same as corporate airlines. This is a government job just like ours in the US. They get pensions, have good social programs (like all the French), lots of time off (like all French), and are paid fairly well (100k euros). They ended up getting what they wanted I guess cause it got called off after the threat.

I cannot pass judgement on any of this unless it is known what led to the strike. Was it justified or was it excessive? Some French strikes are the former and some are the latter. Looks like bad communication from the article. In a semi-related topic: As far as the airline industry is concerned, I will say that it is not known for caring about worker or passenger comfort or needs. Their race to the bottom in everything has led to all of this. Air travel coupled with stock buybacks, cost cutting, razor thin margins, and the public demanding dirt cheap tickets is not exactly a good combination. All the inconveniences of flying are self inflicted. It was better when there was more regulation, less financial pressure, and slightly higher ticket prices.

Wow

44 currently, low of 35. Have gotten an impressive .01" today, I'm starting to get worried about major floods in Central oregon.

It would suck to live in Gaza, but the land was originally occupied by Canaanites who sacrificed their children to idols and did other horrible things. Then the Jews got it and wiped out a majority of the Canaanites, which technically made the Jews the indigenous people, since there were so few Canaanites left. Then the Assyrians and Babylonians took over the land many years later. The Jews won it back and even built a wall around Jerusalem (how racist, but that's what most ancient civilizations did to protect themselves.) In AD 70, the Romans took over the land and named it Palestine for the first time. Other people got it later in other wars, mostly Arabs. In the 1900s however, Israel won wars and should have got it back due to winning, but the Jew haters refused to leave and expressed their intention to do what Hitler failed to finish, so they had to occupy it to keep Israel safe. According to this video it's not technically a genocide. About 19000 civilians have died (which sucks) and 13000 Hamas militants have died (praise be to the God of Jacob) Also the illegal immigrants are slowly invading and occupying our land and the Democrats are happy about that. They want as many of them as possible. No one on the right has sent paragliders to launch a surprise attack on Mexico yet. Hamas also hogs all the resources that are given to them from other people that support the Palestinians so even without a blockade, it's still likely Hamas would take everything and starve the people to death.

.91" wow and just the first round!

Love it.

Mid 70s in mid willamette valley, and 87 in Seattle.... Looks like everyone from Oregon is planning a trip to Washington next weekend!

Big time tornado in Nebraska. Looks like a wedge, unfortunately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZDOFX_KEL0

Only 55 F in Las Vegas now.

53F with some light rain. 0.16" on the day so far. 2.53" on the month so far and Apr has a +1.2F departure to this point. We have not had a below normal month sine March of 2023. Longest stretch of above normal months I can find on ACIS is 15 months from 2014-2016 with every month in 2015 being above normal.

Nuggets are up 3-0. It's over.

I have as much drought anxiety as anyone, but this story was a bit over the top even for me: https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/2024/04/25/oregon-flash-drought-wildfire-season/73454692007/

I like that bright green line way up there!!

Below is an analysis of the average temperature by decade here in Chester County for the months March - April and May since the 1890's. The average temperature over these 132 years of records is 51.5 degrees. So far in the 2020's we are running about 0.5 degrees above the average. The 1940's were not surprisingly the warmest decade.

Starting to reverse clear

I know @roadtonowhere08 might disagree, but this is what I mean when I say I get frustrated with France's work culture. France's air traffic control strikes ground flights across Europe | Reuters My sisters flight from Detroit got cancelled and we were planning to meet at about the same time to go in the same rental car.

We would have a solid head start on an all-time record warm May if the 12z GFS verified. Been awhile since our last one, almost a whole year!

12Z ECMWF is much more realistic that day... but of course its still over a week away and it will probably be pouring rain in reality.

Enhanced risk for today has been expanded all the way down to Oklahoma and Texas.
