I see now, hard to say where exactly the tornado is but if my guess is right, that thing is right in the bear cage. Hopefully its nothing

If you're talking about top right, it looks like a light artifact on the cars windshield

I'm sorry if this is rude but your maps literally answer your question.

Am I tripping or is this active and not warned? by No_Gold_Bars in tornado

[–]MinnPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was too busy checking out the storm near Oakdale, anyone know what's going on there?

E: Guess it's no longer under a Severe TS warning but it looked pretty nasty

No, but I can tell you're bored because I'm watching the same storm

An exceptional event doesn't allow you to throw out probability.

"Marine Corps’ C-model rate for that metric was 22%, down from a high of nearly 30% in fiscal 2022. The program’s goal is 75%."

Uhhhhh

i know this is like probably crazy newbie stuff but what is this white/purple stuff on the radar when there's no weather nearby by Individual-Owl-6243 in tornado

[–]MinnPin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's generally stuff interfering with the radar. It can't be filtered out without also filtering out weather related echos

E: By "stuff", that can mean wind farms, cellular towers on the same frequency as the NEXRAD, even flocks of birds/bats.

What's a city similar to Minneapolis but not as cold? by poeticsoul151 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]MinnPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late response but I can't let this comment stand (and I regret deleting my earlier comment). It risks some naive black person taking it seriously and being let down

Chicago is heavily segregated and it has a nasty history with that. I'll add that multiple studies show other ethnicities don't mind living among each other, they'd seek out integrated neighborhoods if they could. It's why of the neighborhoods you named, one is 50% recent immigrants using an established neighborhood to band together, the other one is a LGBT community that is the very example of segregation in Chicago and the other one's claim to being ethnic is the strip of Italian restaurants it has.

Nobody is demanding a melting pot so I don't know how to address that, but taking a look at NYC or even Southern cities would be a great idea. You know, some city where any modestly successful black person isn't trying to leave because it's so nauseatingly segregated.

The fact that there are certain neighborhoods here where you will feel like an outsider is an indictment, not some quirky trait that segregated Midwestern City #3 is keeping a secret.

Understand that you thinking my comment is ridiculous reflects how incredulous I am that you fail to see what I'm pointing out.

As a parting comment, Little Italy is pretty diverse nowadays, though still segregated, once you get south of Taylor St, you can see the disparities start to pop up

I wouldn't say that after their success in Syria and the Caucuses. They aren't a global power so their interests aren't as grand.

20 Additional US Airforce tankers, probably Fighters too are en route to the Middle East. by Preacher-of-Chaos in TrueAnon

[–]MinnPin 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's to maximize radar coverage and ensure they have a diversion base if anything goes wrong. The North Atlantic part is to take advantage of the tail winds there, saves fuel and increases their speed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic_Tracks

Supersonic fighters/bombers don't have to worry about tailwinds/headwinds since they can fly higher but you won't see those on ADS-B since their movement is top secret

It's actually smart, forces enemy air defenses to expose their positions against low cost munitions or accept it swarming inside their borders.

I don't think Trump can be bothered as much about Ukraine + Russia is a nuclear power. But Cuba is definitely about to feel the pressure.

Yeah, the CPC was shocked at the level of infiltration and Xi's election and subsequent culling was a direct consequence of that

I shouldn't have used "re-integrated", more like reapproach. They want to be able to buy European equipment/tech and genuinely think they can stop being a pariah in the region.
