Am I an idiot or is this a stupidly bad turing test

Passed my @ttu.edu Atmospheric Science M.S. defense today!
Excited to continue on to a PhD with my advisor, @deeplycloudy.bsky.social, looking at lightning with phased array radars

I am trying to find the center of the ridge can anyone please tell me where it is I cannot find it

I’m assuming most of the longitudinal differences are due to orography, why does the Gulf of Water have differences? Ellipsoid quirks?

Update, this just happened today. I would describe this as unnecessary warning fatigue.

Fortunately it didn’t take long for Apple to bless us Texans with a separate switch for “public safety alerts”, but presumably turning off Blue Alerts from 8 hours away also includes turning off Boil Water Notices for your neighborhood.
Google is only marginally better…

Excellent. I see no issues with this whatsoever.

Apple is much much worse. You get one switch for “emergency alerts” and one switch for “try to prune some of them”

I use it for radar spectrum width! (Essentially, how much turbulence is in the air)

Yes. This is an SDR receiver small enough to fit four of them on an rpi 4. I couldn’t believe it either.
There’s no bias tee output, but this is great for snooping on radiosondes and other ham radio experiments requiring multiple frequencies at once

Jk, discovered the nooelec nano. This is officially the smallest software defined radio I’ve ever seen. You can fit four of them on a raspberry pi 4 with no extenders. I’m hoarding these now.

It was a good time! I had an excuse to properly push the limits of my own off-roading and I feel like I got to pay it forward a bit as I was in an extremely similar predicament a few weeks ago

I remember the first time I did in 2023, watching this beast with @colehood.bsky.social and @kenzallen.bsky.social. Happy to keep passing it down.

No tornadoes today, but I got to hear a younger student say “I knew from the math we did in class that it rotates, but to actually see it spinning like that… woah”, so I’ll count that as a success!
Some of the most insane hail Rayleigh scattering I’ve ever seen, and a cool funnel!

This is really really cool--thanks so much for making this open, you really didn't have to but I'll be sharing this with everyone I know

In a similar vein, wrf-python is not listed here but would rank as a “I use this nearly daily” option, and many many other students at my current (TTU) institution.
And concerningly, seems to be lacking maintenance (no support for numpy 2.0 or python >3.11) as far as I know
