If you are a homeowner and are insured by State Farm, Ohio Mutual, Pure Insurance, Westfield, and maybe Nationwide, you can get a FREE device to monitor your electrical system for arcing (one of the causes of house fires). h/t @w8emv

Yale Climate Connections: What you need to know about record-breaking heat in the Atlantic
The ocean heat could fuel an unusually active hurricane season. https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/05/what-you-need-to-know-about-record-breaking-heat-in-the-atlantic/

ai6yr,

@petep44 Well, it's not just humanity, it's every living creature that has evolved in this kind of world. (except Humboldt squid, LOL... I think they will be the next evolutionary line. They LIKE hot SSTs)

ai6yr,

@petep44 🙏

ai6yr,

@dougfir I am so glad my daughter is done with her time at school in Florida... 😬

ai6yr,

@petep44 Oh, I don't think I'm going to enjoy this process any more than you are, but that's not exactly our choice, unfortunately.

ai6yr,

That means:

  1. Hurricane preparation (Florida folks know better than I what to do there)
    and

  2. Heatwave preparation (reference below)

ai6yr,

😬

ai6yr,

If you are in Florida, warning has been sounded on the massive heat issues that may be approaching. Banning mention of the cause will not keep bad things from happening... Be prepared!

ai6yr,

"Waters across the Atlantic’s tropical belt — extending from the coast of Africa through the Caribbean — are hotter now than in any other late May on record, with over 90% of the area’s sea surface engulfed in record or near-record warmth. The extent of marine heat has never been greater heading into a hurricane season, outpacing by wide margins the previous late May record-holder in 2005, a year remembered for one of the most active and destructive hurricane seasons in modern history."

@ai6yr Emailed you Samosa recipe. I rarely check that email account though, created for the socials. If I figure out a way to share it here without a ton of posts I will.

ai6yr,

@deewani Thanks!

Hmm, finding a vegetarian Indian dish to make for dinner from scratch (which doesn't require a lot of ingredients I don't have and time) is an interesting challenge 🤔

Thus, why Indian restaurants and grocery stores here with takeout counters are appealing, LOL.

ai6yr,

@EugestShirley @deewani I've actually grown fond of recipes with metric measurements... I was very good at math in school, but for the life of me all the random conversions between measurements drives me bonkers. I'd rather multiple or divide by 10, THANK YOU, LOL.

ai6yr,

@chrisnelder @CStamp That was my initial hesitation here, and lots of GREAT suggestions from here pointed me immediately there. Which is AWESOME (since I clearly did not have all day, LOL)

ai6yr,

Conclusion: Good! But, I need to get some garam masala, my attempt at homemade with partial ingredients was only partially successful. Also, used too much water so it was more like chana masala soup, LOL. Tasty, but not saucy. Also, either chop the tomatoes smaller or blend/smooth it more to be closer to the real thing! Tasty nonetheless, even if it was really "the same ingredients as chana masala without the exact right spice blend and consistency"

ai6yr,

@chrisnelder Thanks! Will do that for sure.

ai6yr,

@nil Thanks for the ideas!

ai6yr,

@CStamp @chrisnelder It came out great! I ate more than I should have, but I have some leftovers I'll probably eat for breakfast, LOL. I'm adding that one (probably, refined) to my "easy possible quick dishes" list. Managed to get it done in 30 min and then walk away when I had a Zoom call and it was done.

LOL they're still running this bit-o-publishing-sc.. (err... ego-boosting-cash-generating-business)

ai6yr,

I have read a LOT of obituaries of people who were random not-anyone-anyone-knows that had "is listed in the Who's Who in America!", because they paid up... 🤷 .

Boy, I have not gotten this many reports on people on my server in some time. (carry on folks on my server, no violations here... but everyone is reporting everyone they disagree with on Gaza and Israel left and right...).

ai6yr,

@EugestShirley Incredibly divisive topic, for sure.

ai6yr, (edited ) to WX

For those who haven't been following closely, reported that the death of someone blown off the road in a tornado was a storm chaser, however, local officials have confirmed it is a local resident (see following post) #IAwx #stormchasing #wx #fatality #tornado https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/weather/2024/05/21/iowa-national-weather-service-severe-weather-outlook-des-moines-readar/73783200007/
