So is there any point to downloading the databases listed here that NOAA has asked fellow scientists to download? And the new ones are easier to access from where and how?

“‘There are no ghosts, but up here’-she gestured toward her head-‘it’s a haunted house.’”

Just finished Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and it’s going to be a favorite. This is the book I wanted Ready Player One to be. #gamer #BookSky💙📚

Broccoli and zucchini bhaji are part of the repertoire in my family now. But nothing beats good old potato and green chili. I want to try sauteed okra and eggplant/aubergine bhaji next.

They don’t women and people of color to make any gains because in their unimaginative zero-sum world, if one gets ahead the other has to lose. However, they are anti-science, too, so leave us scientists to practice as we want?

The year King Arthur paraded during BAD rains (2012?), they rolled super fast, there were maybe two people per block, and riders were forced to chuck out $$$ worth of throws to puddles and the streets bc can’t leave anything on the float at the end. A lot of angry riders after that year.

Don’t know if it’s the writing that telegraphs the killer from the start or the result of having watched 5000+ British murder mysteries, but I knew whodunnit within the first 10 minutes of all three Ellis episodes. Same for other newer shows.

Love Sharon D. Clarke in the role, though. Fierce queen.
