Off-Topic / Re: Supreme Court gives green ...
Last post by kalvado - Today at 09:16:22 PMQuote from: Rothman on Today at 09:00:17 PMOh, it's very straightforward thing by recent standards. Talk about "deplatforming" if you really want to enjoy some doublespeakQuote from: Road Hog on Today at 08:30:51 PMQuote from: Rothman on Today at 08:17:43 PMNot a rejection of SCOTUS, just a rejection of a congressional statute that SCOTUS merely upheld. So that's different from Jackson.Quote from: Big John on Today at 07:16:21 PMTrump "likely" to give a 90-day reprieve: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwypng0rw0lo
A strange application of Andrew Jackson's assertion, but so be it.
I am impressed by how finely this hair is split.

Last post by Road Hog - Today at 08:27:07 PMStinkypants can easily just browbeat Congress into rescinding the ban they voted for. Problem solved. Win for Stinkypants.

Weather / Re: Allen Media stations dumpi...
Last post by Road Hog - Today at 08:22:11 PMQuote from: jeffandnicole on Today at 07:47:32 PMOf course they can provide the same forecast. The anchor can rip and read the forecast. But when it comes to an actual tornado on the ground, can Atlanta tell people at a truck stop in Valley View, Texas to take cover?Quote from: Road Hog on Today at 07:39:50 PMTV stations are relied upon heavily for live severe weather coverage. If you have to rely on some yahoo out of Atlanta to provide street-by-street updates, what's the point?
Because it actually doesn't matter. The yahoo out of Atlanta can produce the same exact forecast as the local person.

Weather / Re: Polar Vortex
Last post by Road Hog - Today at 08:13:56 PMLate to the party here for sure, but the "polar vortex" is a misnomer that attempts to explain every cold snap that happens at any time of the year. Even in the glorious summer of 2014 that saw lows in the 60s in Texas for a few days in July.
When the polar vortex is strong, it stays put. When it weakens, what happens is the mid-latitude jet stream relaxes, and that lets cold air pour in from the north. At the same time the pole is invaded by subtropical air which can make Baffin balmy and Fairbanks friendly.
This particular air originated on the other side of the North Pole in Siberia, which can be even colder than polar air. (Exhibit A: February 2021.) But for most folks this time it won't result in anything other than low 20s or high teens, which is like, "meh." (As long is it don't snow!)
This is going to be more of an East Coast event.
