Ah crap. Getting windy near the surface down towards south Fulton into Coweta. <ImInDanger.gif>

Good example of being careful about radar interpretation w/ velocity. Radar measures wind moving toward and away along the radial. As line approaches radar, the angle on the outer portion becomes larger, and the vector component blowing towards the radar lower. Get a 10-15 mph difference off TATL.

About to get windy on the west side of ATL, moving to the southeast. Descending rear inflow jet signs in place with bowing line segment and evaporation of the stratiform precip just behind.

Derrick Jones and Yaw Yeboah have just been issued lifetime suspensions from Major League Soccer for betting on MLS matches. "After reviewing the results of the investigation, MLS concluded that the players engaged in extensive gambling on soccer, including on their own teams."

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

What are we even doing here? The bulk of this is like four trillion dollar regressive tax cut that doesn’t help the poorest families at all and helps the richest the most. To make it less regressive, he adds like another two trillion in progressive tax cuts that targets families with kids.

holy shit

My takes from the F1 race: 1) Mercedes is good, but I'm not convinced 2014 good. 2) The passing looks good...if we can get cars next to each other. 3) Having a car suddenly slow at the end of a straight in F1 is Not Good. Racing at this level has always been about picking braking points.

Time for the Annual Take. Do this day one last time and never change the clock again. Permanent DST.

Dunne with one of the dumber moves I've seen in a racecar in a bit during the F2 race. Whew.

with music added

Gonna be a long wait till August for that engine to get banned 😂

Max unable to get the new car through the first corner of the first lap at full speed. Ohhhhh boy.

Colton Herta still looking rough in F2 for the sprint race. Damaged the car on lap 2 with a questionable look inside, had several more incidents and spun another car.

LMAO MAX

Kimi's Antonelli's crash

Huuuuuge wreck for Antonelli in FP3. He is okay but they may not have a car for Qualifying. No way the chassis is okay, they have 2 hours to build a new one.

Never happier to have an electric vehicle. (Yes, I know there will likely be knock on effects for electricity prices, let me have something.)

Probably the first time the Nintendo legal team has done something popular.

Kalshi was reportedly paying a 15-year-old gamer to hype its online gambling platform as part of its heated rivalry with Polymarket until a lawyer said please don't: "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minor... https://kotaku.com/kalshi-polymarket-betting-draftkings-2000676656

Good. This is appropriate. The reason those are licensed professions is that we recognize the danger of letting an untrained human dispense legal or medical advice. That danger does not disappear when the advice is dispensed by an LLM. In fact, the danger multiplies

what the fuck are we doing www.wsj.com/business/med...

10 minutes into first FP1 of the year and yeah a decent chunk of the field might not finish the first race thanks to engine issues the way this is going lmao

Poketopia, Slay the Spire 2, Marathon. Good day to be a gamer.

“anger is real, and so is resolve” goes pretty damn hard

Perfection.

In case you saw the "Windows 12" skeet making the rounds, it is unsurprisingly fake (though it speaks volumes about Microsoft that so many thoughts it real). Feel free to convert to Linux anyway - it's free and really easy given the right flavor choice these days.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

Nice, clean graphics are a plus, but love the highly visible risk descriptions with clear numbering of risk levels. We've been using the zoomed in version of these for a while with much success, so I'm happy to see this go national, so to speak.

You love to see it. May it hold.

Big shoutout to the CAD/wedge, bringing us a lovely 60 degree day instead of the potential upper 70s to 80s (which will be with us by Thursday 🫠). At least got to enjoy the outdoor work today.

Turns out that every day is arm day when you have a 20 pound 5 month old.

folks we're turning back the galleons, the corregidores, the very bad gobernadorcillos, oh they're bad, the worst many say, may are saying it, down there they say MUY MALO, it's true

Again, if you are still supporting this paper...why?

Three races into the NASCAR Cup season, here's all of your winners: Race 1: Woke Short King Tyler Reddick Race 2: Woke Short King Tyler Reddick Race 3: Woke Short King Tyler Reddick Woke 2 is absolutely here.

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

LMAO Kalshi can't come out and say that insider trading happened because then that would imply regulatory powers are needed, so they instead are gonna just scam folks out of the money. The 2020's is truly the Decade of the Scammer. Crypto, NFTs, AI bots, dismantling of government, betting sites...

this cures what ails me every time

war in iran brought to you by draftkings sportsbook sign up today and get 10,000 free warbucks

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28. Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier. The Pentagon Pizza Index has been replaced.

As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in

Well, looks like we will be removing ourselves from Scouts. My local unit had honestly started moving in a direction I didn't care for, so this makes it an easy decision. I'm so sorry for all the folks this will harm.

“the Pentagon reportedly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone, and criticized the lack of coordination.” 10/10 no notes

The Scrubs reboot is really good (at least for the first 2 episodes). The magic is still there for the old cast with some new characters that bring a ton of good new interactions. The writing remains excellent.

One of the dudes told me that he has had luck getting offices to issue updated CLIs when the invalid 1 minute data shows a variance. While I have the data to verify this, do I want to? oye...
