I try to avoid crowds whenever I can, but if I am forced to be in a confined space with a lot of people, I'll mask up, too. And keep my hands clean. Always keep the hands clean.
ah those gullible fools with their "germ theory" and "basic hygiene", imagine washing your hands before operating on a patient when everyone the only question of how infection is caused is whether the miasma is made up of *literal* demons

WE all have to eat liver, but this guy gets to fill a hot tub with lobster tail ice cream and sushi donuts. Which of course WE are paying for. Which is why WE have to buy liver.
Defense Dept under Pete Hegseth just spent more than $93 billion. Included: $2 million on Alaskan king crab last September alone, $6.9 million on lobster tail, $1 million on salmon, $140,000 on doughnuts, $124,000 on ice cream machines, $26,000 on sushi, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak.

That’s how much lead time the MyRadar Hail Nowcasting model provided before this storm moved into Abilene, TX.
Our advection model tracks developing hail cores and projects where they’ll be before they arrive.
When storms intensify fast, that lead time can make all the difference.
