Southern Florida once again has "EXTREME" Heat Risk today 5/18/24.

Extreme - This level of rare and/or long-duration extreme heat with little to no overnight relief affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Impacts likely in most health systems, heat-sensitive industries and infrastructure.

Incredible. I wonder what the strain is on the grid for that type of heat this early in the summer.

I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.

He only has one ear, so he makes it count for communicating. I don't know what happened to the other one. He's a rescue. I call this move giving "the ear". #dogsofmastodon #dogs #rescuedogs #happy

@czarbucks @firefly @amyedge @AE4WX @Jennifer @ai6yr Good morning! Another nasty tornado/flash flood night in the plains. Am off severe weather today to get house stuff done. Squirrel circus was waiting for me this morning and are happy I have the doors shut against the heat that’s ramping up. Have a GOOD Monday!

@BakerRL75 @czarbucks @firefly @AE4WX @Jennifer @ai6yr is.
A good morning to everyone. Horns and sirens woke me up, instead of frog looking for a date in the early morning.

Hi from Functioning-WiFi Laffy!

Pro tip: You don’t need to use NFL (Not For Laffy) on days when I’m not live-posting trial threads.

NFL is only applicable when I need to skip your replies (they pile up enormously even on non-trial and slow days), but no need to extend that courtesy on non-proceedings days.

And thanks again for being considerate enough to use it when I need you to. It really helps.

Kthxbye.

@GottaLaff We appreciate you! Especially those of us who are working and can peek at a thread and catch up.

LOL, forwarded an AARP video on "how to use a ridesharing app" to the relatives, who recently asked to have me pick up THEIR FRIENDS from the airport (4 hr RT nowadays) "Forward this video to your friends! Sorry I can't help them out" -- I only drive them because of family obligation, but somehow they must have gotten the impression that I run a free Uber service for old people. 😂 😭

Starting a new thread 🧵 1/...

Via Inner City Press (I call him Press):

Trump's lawyer Blanche: There are a number of the jurors that we have social media posts for very much contrary to what they said. We don't want to confront them openly

Judge: They were not told it is an anonymous jury.
Trump's lawyer Blanche: Juror number 1 has a series of extraordinarily hostile Facebook posts-
Judge: Can I see them?... Was I handed the right thing? The sheet has 2 screen grabs

Some younger people are really disengaged from the news. I find it surprising, but to them politics as crazy is normal.

I have some mid 20s folks in the office. Smart people. College degrees. Totally disengaged.

@tshirtman They don't watch those shows.

@tshirtman I think that there is so much noise, they have learned to tune it out. If a person is 24 today they were 8 when Obama was elected.

@tshirtman
The people in their 30s are more engaged. That's my experience only.

In my previous life, I had a criminal defendant turn to me in a trial and tell me I sure did look nice today. I doubt DJT is handing out such compliments.

Can a flying projectile geolocate on a ham transmission signal like it can with a cell phone?

amyedge,
@amyedge@toad.social avatar

@AE4WX @ai6yr
For example, the journalist Marie Colvin was located in Syria when she turned on her cell phone. The government then fired a missile and killed her. If you turned on your ham radio, could the same thing happen to you?

Can they do it for pure receivers? I've never understood how the Nazis and Soviets knew if someone was listening to western broadcasts.
