Perfect meal everytime
This is besides the point (obviously people should never be deported for traffic infraction), but right turn on red (RTOR) which is mainly a thing in North America (US, Canada, Mexico) is idiotic. (1) it barely save any car driver time on the road, (2) contrary to popular beliefs, in modern car it doesn’t save any fuel, (3) sometimes the signs are confusing, e.g. “no right turn on red except…” - which is a double negative (4) it increases risk of collision when people who are doing RTOR fail to insufficiently yield to oncoming traffic, and (5) it increases risk of collision against cyclist who are always on right side of the road.
(5) is especially jarring if a car wants to make RTOR while the cyclist wants to go straight and waiting on the traffic light to turn green. The cyclist counts as a vehicle occupying the turning lane, so a car technically is not allowed to make RTOR when a cyclist is present, but most times the cyclist just get honked at and have to yield, either go backwards or go onto the sidewalk to accommodate a car making RTOR. Alternatively, if you are a cyclist and don’t want to deal with intersection that allow RTOR, then you can make a vehicular lane change onto the middle lane and cycle in the middle of the road but obviously this is also dangerous. Study have shown that adoption of RTOR increases the risk of cyclist crashes by up to 100% (e.g., twice as likely).

16·3 months agoKaty Perry was real life 30 Rock’s Jenna Maroney. Here are some of her literal quotes while in space
“It’s not about me, I’m here to talk about the world.”
She then sings
“We’re going to put the ass in astronaut.”
“for the benefit of Earth.”
You fucked up

Not sure what you are asking, are you asking if I’m a Fed? No, I’m not a NOAA Fed employee, I’m a research scientist at state university who worked closely with NOAA, in agency lingo I’m considered an “affiliate”. I’m posting the merch site ironically as a shitpost, it is not going to help NOAA funding that much and it is a long-long way from the merch office to our research division. But I guess wearing merch do bring awareness to what we do.

Pls consider buying our official merch, support Federal service that matters, we are not USAID
Like if they take down the NWS site
We are back
It had always been a scheduled maintenance for Boulder, CO server. https://x.com/NOAAGML/status/1887262419342532836 It is just unfortunate timing that Elon and his clowns decided to raid the Maryland NOAA office the day before (they couldn’t even raid the correct building lol)
16·5 months agoThey both show how much of a joke cable news is, but at some people hate their in-laws. One can argue Lara Trump is less damaging because it is highly possible that Lara is an incompetent nepobaby hire. MSNBC on the other hand, hired media trained, professional liar, literal former spokeperson of the sitting President to do their news. Jen Psaki is much more damaging.
This is not that much different than Jen Psaki headlining MSNBC while Biden was prez. They literally had his former Press secretary as a news anchor.
I know exactly the person you’re talking about! He lives on 69 Hooker Avenue, Dickshooter, ID, 83624
