LOL The left can't meme. The Commies are trying to change the meme culture from informative, to random nonsensical images and confusing captions. Hoping it will become more popular than Truth Bomb Memes. Are you mindless, or do you seek the truth?
Learn to spot propaganda we're at war with the filthy commies.

Surf Cam in sunny Santa Cruz. My neighbor's carport is in danger of blowing apart with the gusts. I had to tie down a bunch of stuff with ropes to keep it from ripping up and flying away.

Cali has 3-4 years of Wet, and 7-8 years of Dry. Some say this is El Nino/La Nina, but this cycle also matches up with the Solar Cycle, which is 11 years.
Huh. Nah, this can't be true. How would "climate" be affected by the greatest energy source in the Solar system - the Sun?
Nope, must be Man-made AGW.

I first moved to California in 1997 and it was an El Nino year. The rain was epic and I never saw anything like it since then.

That was 27 years ago. Shouldn't AGW have caused it again around here since then?

The same old boss I referred to says that droughts around here were worse when he was young. There was one so bad that the water coming from the tap was brown.

My old boss, now 80, says that California has always alternated between drought and floods.

We've been though 3 droughts and floods in the last 20 years. Remember when the Orville dam was about to collapse? Remember when the bodies were showing up at Lake Mead and that was critically low?

It's always an emergency. Either the propaganda box is screaming about a drought or a flood. I'm so used to it, I tend to ignore it. The propaganda box only promotes emergencies and manufactures emergencies when they don't exist. My family lives back East, and I constantly hear of savage storms, and when I talk to them, "yeah, we got some snow/rain/whatever"

It used to be our media only lied about national politics in the interest of stupid foreign policy, now they lie about the weather.

Not me. Takes an hour or two to become vaguely coherent.

Notice the cars at the very beginning on the left parked at a 60 degree angle.

This literally describes a "Go from Beginner to Expert: Linux user" type manual I read. It went from "Insert your burned ISO via CD/Flashdrive, select install language from the prompts" ordinary lay computer user moron shit to "Configure Vi and BASH this and that to IP/TPP/NATO this to the WazooSodding batch file that connects to a Toaster that must be x86 compatible running an instance of Brillig of Goobly gook the Dingleberry with the Slithy Toves. Don't forget to Chmod the Hootininny to the same permissions as Wetchamacallit" in one chapter with no intermediate steps explaining anything, nor what the Hootininy and Wtchamacallit was, or the permissions variables.

And there was a chapter describing how to set the desktop background from the command line, something that's easier to do from the GUI since you can obviously preview the pics and it's not something most users are changing constantly. "Oh, and hour went by, let me change my desktop background"

It’s the same for the last TWO years in California now. Very wet weather in winters with epic storms, and periodic rain that happens at all times of the year.

It’s not “El Nino” because the water temps are lower than average.
It’s actually a product of the Grand Solar Minimim, also known as the Maunder Minimum.
This refers to the magnetic field of our sun, which is at a low not seen since the Renaissance in the 1600s. This cycle is predicted to last 30 more years.
What can we expect:
1)heightened occurance and intensity of auroras
2)more cosmic rays hitting the earth, causing more cloud formation than usual. This leads to lower temps, more rainfall, and of course more cloud cover
3)the Gulf Stream may collapse, plunging Europe into lower temps than they’re used to. It’s been trying to collapse, wavering all over the Eastern seaboard, which has already caused major flooding twice in the last two years.
4)huge sun spots, increased Coronal Mass Ejections and solar flares.
5)Increased probability of a Carrington Event where a CME strikes the earth with the power of a nuclear EMP, frying our technology and power lines. This would be a STHF event triggering an incalculable disaster for the technological world. Up to 90% of Americans would die within the first year, most from starvation and illness.

I remember the late 70's and early 80's versions. Same thing today.

Lol, been there for decades. Configuring your own stuff is still a pain, and I've been through most of it more than once.

Before hype tech there was fiddly tech. It wasn't any good, unless it was unnecessarily a more complex convoluted system than it had to be.
We went from that to tell the cloud everything about you, and store all of your passwords there too.

It isn't entirely unprofitable. I have gotten a dollar or so on Patnet, but haven't seen the cash yet. I re-donated it, anyway. I guess you could call it 'Patcoin'.

It's lucky they didn't wind up in the scrambled eggs.

I'm happy to mail you the dollar if you want.

It was a failed experiment. No one is willing to pay to read anything.

People like to post spam. Charge them to do that.

I'm pretty sure spammers won't pay even a penny.

I guess it sounds better than pussy whipped soyboy. 'Controlled Opposition' who'll never get laid again until the soap opera lines and complete acquiescence and surrender flow again.

I have to admit, any Venn that got to stick it into the feminine has to count as a success.

Women never apologize, they just plan passive aggressive, patient revenge. If they DO apologize, you know it will be even worse.

The ever expanding serial extortion of female approval is never satiated. Keeps the drones on the acquisition treadmill. It starts with cute mewling over a proffered daisy, and ends with complaints about receiving the DeBeers diamond mines.

You should eliminate the ignore function, and make people pay to ignore the red pills they don't like.

Lol, that's interesting!

I think it could support the site if we had more than 10x the number of daily readers.

We are Americans. And this is who we are! MAGA!
