Hiya folks who I may already know,
I'm Meredith or MSJ! In my 20s, AF vet, at undergrad college 5/5 (long story), consuming knowledge about nature and disasters since 2004.
My research focus is TC RI and storm surge.
I shoot everything you see with my phone (SE) or my mom’s Canon EOS 350D.

And its okay if the answer is "actually, nothing really."

i dont know anything about this college sports bill but im assuming its an attempt to bring young minorities to heel while doing nothing to reel in the excesses of the rich, powerful, overwhelmingly white executives making 7 figures?

I did a double-take when I opened the NHC forecast map for newly-minted Tropical Depression 19-E. Yes, it's expected to move almost due eastward.
That's weird.
I appreciate Eric Blake taking the time to point out what's affecting its track (see highlighted text in the discussion screenshot).

hey hey be reasonable, how were they supposed to check the movements of the [looks at giant trifold posterboard] US Marshals
The killer part is he was all the way in Maryland, with federal security watching him. He could’ve followed up on this but just didn’t.
He made a huge poster of the whole thing, it showed Smith, Fani and her boyfriend. How you get from going to a game, any game anywhere, to colluding with people is crazy.
Oh, I was in Atlanta yesterday, I must have met up with Chipper Jones.

If you want students to learn skills like how to use databases, how to identify primary research gathered according to inductive methodology, how to synthesize it in order to determine gaps, how to analyze and evaluate it?

I teach my science students how to write comprehensive literature reviews & every semester I meet with them one-on-one to make sure the topics they've chosen are narrow enough they're actually able to find all the existing primary peer-reviewed research in one semester
The topics can be surprising!

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

How badly does everyone want their own “Heated Rivalry”? Pretty badly, apparently. Netflix’s “Icebreaker” is the latest sign that streamers are ramping up their YA and New Adult romance adaptations, particularly books with enormous built-in fandoms, and suddenly the ice rink itself looks like some of the hottest real estate in television.
Prime Video already has arguably the closest comparison in “Off Campus,” its adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s bestselling college-hockey romance novels.
