Private weather station?

It’s pretty much impossible to make reliable forecasts based on the data of a singular weather station. The initial data comes in from a variety of sources including satellites, radars, surface observation stations (weather stations) and upper air soundings around the globe. All of the above are maintained by public sector organizations who collaborate and share the data because the weather is an inescapably global thing. During WW2 the Germans actually set foot in Canada to set up a weather station in an attempt to spread the coverage of their observation network.

Nowadays all that data is used as inputs for numerical weather prediction models, running on supercomputers in the basements of meteorological institutes and agencies. Big global ones like ECMWF and GFS are used pretty much by all meteorologists around the world, who look at those and other smaller, more local models. They compare the different forecasts and critically evaluate the probabilities of different outcomes. They apply their own judgement selecting the most credible raw forecast and then edit that if needed. All in all, it’s a very global effort.

At least where myself and @Kusimulkku are from, meteorologists at the public broadcasting company (where that title is a requirement for getting the job) collaborate closely with their colleagues at the national meteorological institute. Their job is to comprehend the situation as presented by the institute, decide which bits of it are important, and then boil that down into a smooth and easy to understand presentation.

If a weather reporter isn’t an actual meteorologist, then there is an actual meteorologist behind the scenes who made the presentation for the reporter to present.

Deme,

Nah anarchists also fall within the “capitalism is working as intended and must be destroyed” camp. They just have different ways of doing it.

Deme,

If you fill it with hydrogen peroxide, then they’ll hate it. Otherwise no.

Croatia sang about urbanisation and the decline of the countryside.

Israel was 100% a political show no elaboration needed there.

Finland sang about no rules - anarchism.

Serbia was anti war, which is also a political position.

Then there’s all the feminist and queer themes like with Ukraine, Spain and Switzerland. Arguably not political, but then again neither should be Palestinians deserving human rights.

And these are just what comes to mind off the top of my head.

Deme,

Not a solar flare but a coronal mass ejection. And while the subsequent G5 geomagnetic storm can do damage to various technological systems, it shouldn’t be anything too bad.

Deme,

You should know that this wasn’t a solar flare, but a coronal mass ejection. Look that up instead. No, it’s nothing too bad either. The one in 1859 was a big one and some people got electrocuted at telegraph stations, but this ain’t like that.

Deme,

Electrocuted as in they received injuries from an electric shock.

Deme,

Google and the Oxford dictionary disagree.

Definition of electrocution: injure or kill by electric shock

Deme,

Google and the Oxford dictionary disagree.

Deme,

I think there’s a distinction between “electrocuted” and “electrocuted to death”. Same as with “stabbed” vs. “stabbed to death” or any other such verb that can, but may not necessarily result in death.

Deme,

Could be, but there’s other words with that same ending

Deme,

The plant works just as intended and has already captured a lot of that sweet sweet greentech R&D money and subsidies.

Deme,

It’s nukes. An environmental catastrophe doesn’t happen at those timescales :D

Deme,

CTRL F “Peer review” No matches.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely interesting that this thing keeps making headlines after all these years, but if the drive is capable of the kinds of thrust they say it’s getting, why haven’t they been able to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt? Every space agency and their dog would already be sending prototypes into orbit if they didn’t think that this was a scam.

Deme,

Our societies aren’t the only things dying.

Nämä pienituloiset kannattavat leikkauksia – yhteiskunta on juopunut velkarahasta, sanoo Tommi Nuolioja (yle.fi) Finnish

Jotenkin hullunkurisia nämä hetkellisesti nolostuneet miljonäärit. Toinen haastateltu tosin on tyrkyllä politiikkaan, joten tällaisella “suoraselkäisellä” puheella paikka hillotolpalla saattaa vielä vaikka auetakin ja siinä vaiheessa tietysti on kivaa että on tämmöistä katu-uskottavuutta leikkauksien suhteen....

Deme,

Sakeeta settiä on.

Deme,

This was me on friday except that instead of moss there were fantastic snowbanks sculpted into exquisite shapes by wind.

Deme,

Yeah, not exactly news.

I suppose it’s a good yearly reminder.

Deme,

Did you know that 40% of all helldivers…

Deme,

It is a gender neutral pronoun.

Also when talking about people, it would be nice if they was a lot more normalized even in situations where the gender of the person is known.

Deme,

Funnily enough, in spoken Finnish “it” has all but replaced “they”.

Deme,

Tässä ilmeisesti esitetään talouskasvun asettamista hyvinvoinnin edelle. Vaikka nämä kaksi mielletään kulkevan käsi kädessä, ei se läheskään aina niin mene. Onko amerikan meininki oikeasti millään lailla toivottavaa meille tänne? Onhan siellä kaiken maailman pöhinää (melkein naurahdin kun artikkelissa mainittiin rahoitusteknologia), mutta tämä pöhinä mitä ilmesimmin ei auta tavallisen tallaajan toimeentuloa. Normaalien ihmisten palkat on kuraa, asuntojen hinnat ja vuokrat on todella monen saavuttamattomissa poliittisen ja rikkaan eliitin vehkeillessä kulisseissa valta-asemiansa pönkittääkseen.

Mutta toki jos kysytään taloustieteilijöiltä, The Financial Timesiltä tai IfW:ltä, niin vastaus on selvä että kaikkipyhä talouskasvu jyrää kaiken muun edelle…

Usually when there’s a headline, yes. But 545 million miles is almost six times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. That is a very large distance even in this context.

Beautiful! Cirrus spissatus always makes for some great sunsets and sunrises. Here you also have some Cirrus fibratus.

Deme,

I agree. You can see the initial sketch overlayed there, so definitely a wip with multiple layers.
