Tonight, instead of watching weather or space videos, we watched an episode of 'Smarter Every Day' in which Destin ascended Uhuru Peak on Mount Kilimanjaro and measured the boiling point of water at various levels during the trip. -

Milton is now a hurricane and still expected to hit the Florida peninsula Wednesday or Thursday.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Kirk appears to be heading for northern France late Wednesday, but should lose its tropical characteristics and start weakening within a day.
Hurricane Leslie is heading Northwest, which should keep it away from inhabited islands for the next few days. -

There was a farm fest / farm equipment show at the fairgrounds, so we took the grandkids. They got to see tractors, cows, sheep, and goats. As much as they like tractors (Grandson_5, age 2, says tractors are his favorite thing in the whole world), only the youngest was really excited by them. The 3 and 5 year olds really got excited about the farm animals.
The place was crowded with families. Many of them seemed to be familiar with farming stuff, but there were also some like the grandkids, who seemed to like it because it is different from what they see in their daily lives.
Afterward, Grandson_3 (age 5) says he would have liked it better if they'd had chickens too.
All in all, a win. -

@simsa03 @sun @feld
I lived in an off-grid solar powered house in the 1980s. Later on, when "sell it back to the grid" became a thing, I read that utilities were buying the power at full retail rates. Along with all the other things mentioned in this thread, this too is a problem. As you say, who is paying for the common infrastructure if a large slice of the highest-paying customers (home users) are effectively buying zero power?
Are home users' systems cost-effective enough to break-even if the utilities start paying something similar to what they pay bulk generation plants? I don't think so, or there wouldn't need to be such high reimbursement rates to begin with.
If we want widespread home solar power generation, we're eventually going to have to redesign things to make it work without subsidies. -

Grandson_3 had his sports team game today. According to Son_2, GS3 tried his best. He wasn't aggressive in chasing the ball, but given that his bulkier teammate D will tackle anyone (even teammates) to try to get the ball, I can understand. I think S2 is going to try to arrange a weekly afternoon where GS3 plays with one of his teammates.
It is probably because he's not allowed to act that way when playing with his brothers.
(D was on Grandson_4's team in a different sport and his tackling kept everyone except J from pursuing the ball. GS4, at 30lb, is probably just over half D's weight.) -

I remember in the 1970s, there were all the claims about extreme longevity in parts of the Soviet Union. I think Georgia and Armenia were among the areas mentioned. That was when yoghurt became popular in the United States. I don't claim there was an association, but yoghurt was reputed to be a key part of the diet in those long-lived areas.
Some time in the 1980s, I remember first encountering reports that records were missing, pension fraud was occurring, or even multiple generations and their siblings all shared the same name.
I said all this in order to state my agreement with this person's view. I haven't ever tried to research it in any way. But it is strange that most "blue zones" are places where documents are routinely missing, verification is difficult, and there is some reward (such as a pension from the government or tips from tourists) for being extremely old. And it seems that people in these areas are less healthy than their peers in other areas of the same countries, so long life is already a harder trip than in other places.

Looks like it is state and local officials, at least in Tennessee. -

I suspect that any roadblocks are being placed by state agencies, as the same person posted earlier about TN emergency management asking people not to come to the area to try to help and not to send supplies or funds yet. -

I was a federal employee for 20 years. Except for a few law enforcement agencies and courts, they don't have the authority to put up roadblocks or keep people out of non-federal property. That's purely state and local governments' authority.
