It's interesting how trauma from the Holocaust manifests itself. Some would say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Wouldn't you agree, my hate-filled genocidal troll?

It’s wayyyyy more common than a lot of people think. And most people won’t pick up on the wear and tear items like the pedals and such that are inconsistent with the mileage. We did a few theft by deception cases back in the day (when our climate was noticeably cooler) and you end up exposed to what was a massive subculture, particularly when it comes to the Gypsies. The early digital odometers were actually the easiest to tamper with apparently. Also… IT SNOWED A WEEK BEFORE THAT PHOTO WAS TAKEN!

Do you force your family to address you as "Mein Führer"? Wem der Schuh passt, der soll ihn sich anziehen!

I miss driving and being able to pay off debt…

Life is going to happen whether we like it or not. Best to talk it through while we're able to.

Another 0.70" overnight and this morning. 2.80" since Friday.

The 12z EPS mostly favors a cluster of members which brings some sort of Pacific cold front into the westside. Judging by the pattern progression advertised thus far, this glorified gust of wind will end up as more of a glancing blow from a clipper front poised well offshore moving ENE, rather than a full intrusion of the NE Pac trough sliding in directly from the NW, as we've seen play out several times since the beginning of March. Still though, it's the low levels that count, and a marine layer intrusion with spotty drizzle by Sunday night currently looks (much) more likely than a fully continuous onslaught of July like weather lasting through the end of the workweek. The operational Euro today is simply a reflection of one of the rare paths our weather could take to avoid that marine push.

I really think you and I would get along in real life. You're about as conservative as my wife is, I think we're similar in age and outlook. Anyway, my wife and I always ask each other questions that would seem morbid by others. We ask what we would do with life insurance payouts, what they would do for parenting, talking about updating our wills, and what the other would do if they died. My friends in CA always thought I was super morbid (but not in a creepy way). Not raining now but doubled my total at a modest 0.19 on the day. I'll take what I can get here.

I hear Biden is considering letting Palestinian refugees into this country so they can help him destroy our nation too. To paraphrase our former president, everything they touch turns to s*it.

Too many noodles

That EPS spaghetti comes out so slow ever since the “upgrade”.

White hot sounds lovely to you? Supremacist!

I went through a pretty big existential/death obsessed period in my 20s. I think excessive cannabis use might have been playing a role. But I learned a lot from it.

I think you are just a big lovable goth kid underneath it all, Andrew.

I used to as an existential little teenage goofball, but since then I've decided to stick to worrying about what I actually can control. Still figuring out exactly what that might be, though....

I don't get too excited about retirement. It's essentially the final act. My wife says I think about death too much, I've always thought everyone else thinks about it every day as well.

Thank you for breaking up the one-up-athon about cars and retirement

I wonder if we'll see the moderate risk expanded further north. Both the HRRR and 3km NAM showing an explosion of storms from south central Kansas through eastern Nebraska. I'm also concerned that it could be another nocturnal event for Oklahoma.

One more for the road, my little ignorant troll:

For my little Zionist supremacist buddy, Andrew: “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell” ― Carl Sandburg

Looks like SLE set a daily rain record yesterday with .99", as did downtown Portland with .96". Looking like 48 hour storm totals will be right up there with some of the May biggies for the Willamette Valley. The 1.31" EUG saw om Friday was their biggest one day total in May since 1972.

You got data on PA, KCLM? These are YTD gauge numbers. 7.73 is the airport totals, surprisingly a half inch less than me.

I'm fortunate my current company offers RSUs. so I have a bunch of equity with them. Our parent company is a Canadian holding company and the stock is worth about 3600CAD/share.

Car culture is definitely still a huge thing in the US, but it is fading. I hire a lot of young people, and it would shock you how many don't drive or even have a license.

my wife and I purposely have just one car. we like to limit our carbon footprint. its a paid off 2012 Outback. thinking about a 2nd car, but it will be an EV
