Same here. I remember not being impressed during his last host (I think it was a couple of months ago)

Thanks for sharing. Agree, AH is one of the good ones. Even if he is a die hard FSU fan 😔

Something to distract from the shitshow 🤷🏽♂️
@ametsoc.org is running JamFest right now. Terrible timing as I am not in the mood to jam

I’m not even employed, with zero grants or students to support, and I’m demoralized, defeated, deflated
I want to say “hang in there, man” but really? Hang for what? 😔
That being said, whenever you have time and energy to post science stuff, please do! I enjoy your content and learn from you

I’m with james. Who is going to enforce the rules? If you are a current fed employee, would you trust your financial security to the courts/mspb (and then the executive to follow whatever court decision comes)?

Since I’m now living in Raleigh, I’m ok with the southward shift. Could do with the wave staying a bit more amplified though….

I would consciously try to say f times u, but I inevitably slipped up 🤣

Be intolerable!! ❤️🔥
Also, speaking from experience here, when the shockingly unthinkable happens, it doesn’t mean the end of our career as scientists. Just that we get to do something different. At least that’s what I keep telling myself

Gotcha. Well, you have my feedback at any rate

I understand that the two are disentangled. What I’m trying to say is that the md graphic doesn’t convey coverage/probability info, so that message is lost
Maybe that’s also on purpose?

…. or not? I think there was a deadly tor on that day (not sure if in this watch tho)
Anyway the MD probs caused me to think “tornado” when maybe I should have focused more on the more likely risk, even if it wasn’t expected to be as damaging
Just some thoughts to pass along, since you asked!

Some brief feedback. I saw this MD the other day for a svr watch in TN. At first glance at the MD it appeared like tornadoes were the most worrisome hazard.
But it seems like tors were not as likely as either wind or hail (low vs moderate probs)
Not sure what to make of this- if it’s mixed mesging

I remember a thunder freezing rain event. I thought that was quite wild!

Better than the old one where it was usually impossible to tell who had the ball

If the executive refuses to do something, what happens?
“The chief justice has made his decision now let him enforce it”

Presumably by leveraging federal funds to fill gaps? Could it be done again but in reverse? (Of course who’s to say that in X years things will return to a 19 Jan 2025 normal)

I’m morbidly curious how this ends…
Why even have deliberative bodies if the executive governs by fiat

So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause

Presumably with the new admin, compliance costs will come down?
Not sure how to reduce the facilities portion of indirects though… at least not in the short term

Good point. It’s going to be a shock to many university systems (and a job loss for earnest folks)
At Navy, the research staff was slim. I often had my proposals pushed to the agency the same day (a few times the same hour!) I finished them. Expenses/reimbs were reviewed at the department level

Yay 😕

I don’t share your confidence in either the courts or in the executive to accept any court decision

And who would prosecute Hatch violators? Or who could pardon them? Or, if a crime-exempt pres orders someone to do something illegal, and that person just follows orders, then are they subject to the law?
An immunity perfect storm!

I read it as “written by” (or created by), not “downloaded from”

So so cool!! I see my ugrad synoptic students all in this data (even though they might not be novices in your study).

I don’t think of Milei as bad as, say, Bolsonaro (of Brasil), and the economic situations are pretty different between the US and Arg, as you know they have suffered from runaway inflation and currency devaluation (eg when I last visited in 2008, 1 USD was 3 ARS. I think now it’s over 1000!)
