You should check the provenience of your alternatives. Except maybe Vivaldi these aren’t really better.

The difference between linear tv (that your dad watched) and the internet is that there is no alternative to the latter.

Sorry, did you mean to reply to another comment? There is no reflection whatsoever to the comment you are replying to.

Edit: As this comment has whooshed at least 6 people:

it is very very very obvious that the article tries to manufacture outrage over one prediction model that is not publicised but avalable to the agency.

I pointed out that there is one other, equally good model unrestricted and there are about 20 other models that are equally not listed as restricted. Again, the restriction refers to publicising, not to government usage.

I hope this helps the understanding of crapwittyname@lemm.ee and his friends as I don’t think it makes sense to break this down simpler.

Sorry, what a shit, rage bait article is this?

… it was deemed in a National Hurricane Center (NHC) report [PDF] to be one of the two “best performers,” the other being a model called IVCN (Intensity Variable Consensus).

OK, what about IVCN? Is this available? We can assume it is as is not mentioned any more in the article. Also skimming the report it’s not like the other reports are wildly inaccurate/unusable.

Asked whether the NOAA deal affected the release of information about Hurricane Helene, Buchanan said, “HCCA is one of many computer models that forecasters use at the National Hurricane Center. NHC forecasters use a variety of model guidance, observations, and expert knowledge to develop the best and most consistent forecast, along with watches, warnings and other hazard information for use by the emergency management community, the public, and other core partners and decision makers.”

So the outrage is hot air over nothing. Got it.

Such incidents are invariably the product of organizational failures, and most major crowd disasters could have been prevented by simple crowd management strategies.

When was this ever in doubt?

Do better.

Edit: Suggesting not to regularly post right wing toilet paper gets a flood of downvotes?

If Döpfner/Springer are behind Politico it is fucking poison.

His sister looks like him with boobs added.

I might be older than your dad and I don’t recall seeing an offer like this. 😊

This is not just the US, it is the norm world wide.

It’s also not limited to job relations either. “New customer? Let me show you this sweet deal.” - “Oh, you’re already a customer? Then it’s full price I’m afraid”

You need to regularly review/change contracts.

Exactly, other cars do have ‘hand-detection-sensors’ so you on my have to touch the wheel. I would assume current BMWs should have it.

Please re-read and understand what I wrote.

Your car (Tesla?) has no sensors on the wheel that can detect your hands. That’s why you need to jerk the wheel every couple of seconds.

torturial - I like that. Sometimes a tutorial is indeed a torturial. 😊

The bad execution of the flow chart was bothering me enough to create a cleaner version.

It’s a (very obvious) troll, that’s all.

I think the troll has been well fed for a while now.

Apparently they had fines before, are facing increased gun violence and thus increased the punishment.

see fay, michael and singapore.

I almost forgot that asshole. No one outside the US thought the intervention was warranted. Case in point: the Swiss vandal in 2010

Or just serve alcohol to people of legal drinking age (in your country) along with the Kinder eggs.
