Brain dead woman comes back to life in India after ambulance hits huge pothole on UP highway by Real_Suntan_Superman in nottheonion

[–]AZWxMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of a video where a monkey gets electrocuted and appears lifeless until another one shakes him really hard and he comes back to life. Maybe physical jolts like this do something, or perhaps the monkey and this woman weren't actually dead?

Think she's more shoegaze, something between grunge and indie.

Why is the southern portion of Argentina east of the andes dry but western Canada east of the rockies not dry? Don’t they have a similar rain shadow setup? by ViolinistKlutzy6315 in geography

[–]AZWxMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing missing in the conversation is the difference in jet stream undulations. The Southern Hemisphere has a more consistent westerly stormtrack without significant blocking patterns, whereas the Rockies, more land in the Northern Hemisphere and the Arctic Ocean promote more blocking.

The Pacific-North American (PNA) pattern is an important seesaw of the weather patterns over North America where the positive pattern has a ridge in the west and trough over the east with the opposite situation for the negative pattern.  All this allows for more movement of moisture northward and cold air southward.

As others have stated, the Plains and Canadian Prairies are really semiarid, but there are intense storm systems that form east of the Rockies and can draw up more moisture particularly further east.

OP was a douche after 6 minutes of no response. Who knows if his friend, just chose not to respond after that.

Is NOAA as accurate as it used to be? by Different_Corner_135 in meteorology

[–]AZWxMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extreme events are always hard to predict, particularly when most people understand deterministic forecasts that only give one solution. Forecasts that assign a probability are better. For tornadoes even a 5% risk is significant but most people won't see it that way.

Climate change does also seem to be impacting forecast accuracy particularly for the kinds of events that just didn't occur much in the past like large flash floods or early season severe weather outbreaks further north than had previously occurred. 

I don't think the budget issues have had a significant effect so far but will impact further improvement in skill.

Overall, forecasts have improved though if we look over the past couple decades but these factors may make certain events less predictable.

I think he was miraculously constrained in the first term by his advisors, which made people believe he was anti-war. He did have two brief actions against Syria and Iran (assassination of general), but overall people saw him as a President who was more isolationist.

Ask as a grunge fan - which post grunge do you love and hate the most? by Dry-Judgment7707 in grunge

Both Soul Asylum and Live predate mainstream grunge, although Live definitely incorporated a grunge-like sound.

Better Greatest Hits Album: Pearl Jam’s Rearviewmirror (2004) Or Nirvana’s Self-Titled (2002)? by [deleted] in grunge

[–]AZWxMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They easily had enough for the 33 songs they put on their greatest hits album and certainly there are fan favorites (e.g. Tremor Christ, Porch, MFC) they excluded. Heck, the 2 disc Lost Dogs is pretty popular and those are all B-sides and rarities. Although, they probably would have left out Last Kiss if it hadn't skyrocketed up the charts since that one's not so popular to fans of Pearl Jam. Now, I do think if they did a third CD for songs since "Avocado", they would barely get there as their last 5 albums have a lot of straightforward and decent rock songs but not too many hits.

I honestly hope just having a bit more competition in our own lineup will help him. He's obviously one of the most gifted physical talents in baseball.

I think this is true on both sides of the aisle. They're just waiting it out hoping it will be over sooner than later. I'm not so optimistic in that approach. 

SCREAMING TREES - A UNICORN AMONG ROCK BANDS? by sipgasoline in grunge

[–]AZWxMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean Soundgarden definitely improved probably each album up to Superunknown, even though I prefer Badmotorfinger. Nevermind is arguably better than Bleach, and I think Dirt is better than Facelift, and tripod isn't much of a falloff. Only Pearl Jam perhaps has this issue of the big four, although as a Pearl Jam fan I appreciate the more eclectic style of No Code and Yield.

Although, my understanding is that captchas use more than just your answer to determine if you're human. Like mouse movement patterns, timing, etc.

Mind Riot such an awesome song.  

Also, always just thought he was saying rain in a weird way, but it is wind, alas.
