The worst part is that there generally bipartisan support in Congress for NCAR. So, it’s pretty senseless. Kind of a shame that those NCAR salvaging amendments didn’t make the budget bill! At least Colorado’s delegation stood up.
Another destructive decision by this administration.

There's a whole lot of reddit accounts that are very active in your local sub reddit talking about anti immigration policies in very well worded terms.

Look, I was raised to eat what I'm served. I might not pick all this stuff out on the menu, but if you serve it, I'll eat it. Even the fucking celery.
But the actual answer is 1, because I'm allergic to bananas.

My wife didn't see the Ring commercial from the Superbowl, but had heard some backlash, so I described the commercial.
She was shaking her head going, "you know they're not talking about dogs, right?"
Yep.

You may find this map shocking. The crazy imbalance even surprised me!
It’s the ratio of record highs vs record lows in each city since 2020. That’s right, in Miami there have been 115 daily record highs, but only 1 record morning low! Phoenix: 138 to 0!… 1/

This is a index that highlights us being at the bare minimum of what's deemed a SEVERE winter for MKE.
It's tough to quantify, but it uses snowfall days, depth, days of bitter cold and compounds it to an index.
You can see a classic La Nina winter pattern when you look at the nation. #wiwx

I had no idea Italy had such a strong CWOP (Citizen Weather Observer Program) presence.
Northern Italy's surface observations in the NWS Hazards Viewer are much more numerous than France and Switzerland, and I have no idea when that started.

US trucking market sees signs of recovery as Valentine's Day flower shipments arrive
Florida trucking company owner David Armellini is paying about 20% more this year for each of the roughly 200 extra drivers he is hiring to haul fresh-cut Valentine's Day flowers to wholesale florists and grocery distribution centers around the country.

Sky cousins, I know life is a scary mess right now but if you can, please go get everything in/on your body checked that can be done. Some tests are uncomfortable physically or emotionally but needle pricks heal and bruises fade. Those issues are easier to recover from than cancer or death.

They happen a lot, as do TFRs for Space Operations, Hazards, and VIP movement. I have a bot that posts them here: @faa-tfr.paxex.aero when they're issued.

The bit about quartz reminds me of one of the oddest public info requests I received decades ago at the NM state geological survey: sources of low quartz aggregate for concrete in the Large Blast Thermal Simulator at White Sands Missile Range.
Yes, we talked to a geologist who curls about the very special geology of curling's stones, please enjoy
Why curling rocks come from just two spots on Earth
The rocks used in the Olympic sport of curling come from one island in Scotland and one quarry in Wales. What makes them so special?
