Electrical engineer: fuck it make the wire thicker I'm not checking voltage drop again.
That's the kind of reaction almost every kind of engineer would have. But also, some sympathy for the rocket people that can't afford to make measurements irrelevant.
I feel seen
Literally!
Men trying to find the clitoris: 😩
Right in the belly button
Uhh, that's either a really low belly button or exceptionally high clitoris.
I snorted out my milk. Fuck both of y'all.
I thought it was near the right butt cheek
It's actually right at the entrance to the butt hole
Al Roker was the weatherman in New York City, and three years ago we had a blizzard. We were supposed to have, according to Al, 4 to 12 inches of snow. That's his prediction. We had 36 inches. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he was two feet off. THAT'S NOT EVEN IN THE BALLPARK! If you were a roofer and you built a roof and it was two feet off, you'd still be in prison.

Man I hate how AI and non-serif fonts have ruined my reading of so many things.

Unless it was the prison roof that you built.
Monday: "It will rain on Saturday and Sunday." (Makes no outdoor plans for the weekend)
Wednesday: "It might rain on Saturday, it will rain on Sunday." (Still no outdoor plans)
Friday: "It will rain on Monday and Tuesday." (Too late to make outdoor plans)
Doesn't rain for the entire month.
Gotta rely on old people and their bum knees to predict the weather.
Or you learn to smell it and feel it. But it's not good for distant weather and the earlier you feel it the worse it'll be. It's a common skill in places with stupid amounts of weather like the American Midwest.
Note to self: never move to the American Midwest. I get sinus migraines from changes in barometric pressure, and can usually tell when a rainstorm is coming from the sinus pressure.
So I actually do too funnily enough. Comparing it to the pacific northwest, here I get a mild headache when it switches between wet times and dry times, but there I got a decent headache every few weeks in the spring and autumn and the occasional in the summer. I miss tornado season though, sure my head hurt, but the howl of the wind, the wall in the sky that looks like the world will end, then heavy rains that you sit in a garage with the door open smoking pot with your friends and watching. I don't miss much about Ohio, but tornado season was nice.
I broke my foot and didn’t get medical care like 3 years ago, and now it lets me know.
I’m pretty sure enough of these moments is why we now have absolutely catastrophic weather forecasts every other week but they usually aren’t so bad
No, it's because Trump cut off access to data from weather satellites.
It’s been like this for longer than Trump cut off access from one satellite
Well we've just generally not been great at funding any science agency for quite a while.
The European weather models have also been overstating severe weather
I really just think it’s as I said and nobody wants to be caught under predicting weather so they default to the worst values their models predict
Similar to how the US started enforcing fines for late arrivals of airplanes. So the airlines just extended the “duration” of their flights to include the expected delays and now they’re “99.9% on time”. You can see this in action when the pilot says “well we’re waiting for something before we leave. It’ll be another 15 minutes but we’ll still get you there on time.”
Climate change has increased the chance for extreme weather and made it harder to predict when it will actually happen. Those moments happened more when the models weren’t taking into account what climate change has done.

What a perfect reply.
Omg I choked on some toothpaste. Thanks. Have your up vote.
It depends on which type of physicist. If they are a particle physicist 3cm is a whole lot
As a microbiologist, 3 cm is like the next county over. The particle physicist gets to add a few orders of magnitude to that.
