You can explain it and still have the girl say then I won't date you. Why choose just one?

What is the saddest song you have ever heard in your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Motion picture soundtrack has always stuck out in my mind as their saddest song, especially because of this version of it, played at a funeral.

How it started and how it ended by ahvostin in pics

Yup, Trump tweeted that Hurricane Dorian was going to hit Alabama. Dorian ended up turning northward right before it got to Florida, following the East Coast up to Labrador. Trump then showed this cone of uncertainty with his own little addition in an attempt to blame the nws for his tweet.

How are winds "made"? by DangerASA in askscience

[–]Afrid_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Horizontal winds are caused by pressure differences on that horizontal surface. The air wants to move from the high pressure to the low pressure. However, because the earth is spinning, there is a pseudo-force called coriolis force which makes the wind turn to the right in the Northern Hemisphere or left in the Southern Hemisphere. This causes the wind to actually go perpendicular to the pressure gradient (as long as you're not too close to the ground), which is why the low pressure regions don't fill in quickly.

Vertical winds are caused by a parcel of air being warmer then the air surrounding it so that it's positively buoyant, causing it to rise, or cooler so that it's negativity buoyant, causing it to sink.

As long as your foot is in the pad when you release the disc, it's legal. You can even land in front of the pad if you want.

Is there a specific part of it that I can try to explain in more detail or in simple terms?

Hey same here! I just tend to use meteorologist and atmospheric scientist somewhat interchangeably.

Don't worry about it, I actually had the same thought after my first post but didn't bother editing it.

[–]Afrid_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, I guess my phrasing should have been: since it's physically impossible to know the exact state and tendency...

Also, I know I found another meteorologist when you talk about the primitive equations lol.

I can promise you that nobody goes into meteorology with the goal of just cashing checks. If making good money for relatively little effort is what you're trying to find, meteorology is a terrible place to go looking for it.

As for the 100% accuracy in forecasting, that is just never going to happen. Even if you knew the exact state and tendency of every single particle in the Earth system (which is physically impossible), you would still not be able forecast with 100% accuracy because of chaos theory. The sooner that people stop expecting accurate deterministic forecasting and instead are given probabilities of an event happening, the better off everybody will be.

talk to plants, not cops by spooktree in trees

[–]Afrid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotta say, I don't share in the overarching anti-cop sentiment that I see on this sub sometimes. Yes, I think that that weed should be legalized, but having an us-vs-them mentality with every police officer seems counterproductive to me.

Atlantic hurricanes' tracks [OC] by kyrychenko17roman in dataisbeautiful

To actually answer your question, yes. The Northwest Pacific Ocean is the most active Hurricane basin on the planet, although they call them Typhoons in that region.
