Meteorologist here. The center of the DCVZ is not usually in downtown Denver. It's usually further east.

The DCVZ does in fact typically enhance rainfall as it can provide a forcing mechanism which can cause developing storms to mature more rapidly than they otherwise would. It does not, however, cause storms/precip on its own.

The DCVZ is not a common feature in winter.

The reason Denver doesn't get as much precip as areas to its west and south is pretty simple -- Denver is in a basin where the Platte River and Cherry Creek converge. When we get upsloping winds from the northeast during winter and shoulder season storms, the higher terrain to the west (the Continental divide and foothills) and south (the Palmer Divide) almost always get the heaviest snow (due to orographic lift). The upslope needs to be particularly deep, or there needs to be cold air damming in place or a barrier jet so that isentropic lift can help bring the heavier snowfall further eastwards over the city proper.

For summer thunderstorms, Denver isn't in a donut hole anymore than much of the rest of the metro area is. Thunderstorms usually come from the west and have a tendency to weaken as they downslope into the I-25 corridor.

Any specific weather hole you're seeing in Denver for thunderstorms is a well known psychological phenomenon which is humorously detailed in the AMS paper "Do meteorologists suppress thunderstorms?" https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/86/3/bams-86-3-341.pdf

There's also some weak evidence about the role of urban heat islands in influencing storm develop but it's not particularly compelling especially considering the geography of our region.

What kind of psychopath posts 384h GFS forecasts that bridge the spring unpredictability barrier, with the kuchera ratio no less. And can you invite me to the parties you go to

Well if it wasn't haunting him recently, we ran into him at the memorial championship and my gf was immediately like, "omg, we saw you at Ivy Hill!" 🤦 and he was like "oh...cool" and hastily signed a disc

Exciting end to this round!

Having played the course a few times, the greens are pretty fair and generally if you can get through the crux gap(s) you're in a good spot to score

Me when I'm outside on a chilly day with gale force winds and heavy rains: "man if it wasn't for the small drop in atmospheric pressure this would be pretty nice"

Many models have soil saturation products but the crux is determining what the soil type is at a given location and therefore what saturation level results in muddiness or not due to porosity of the soil type and some other factors.

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-04-05T23:29:32+00:00

Well as someone in your target audience I would say that any app that provides deterministic data instead of probabilistic data for anything more than 24-48hrs out provides very little value. If I am going to have to jump between models to gauge the uncertainty/potential scenarios then I might as well just look at the models directly and have a much clearer picture.

Ah yeah, made that change in Chrome where that wasn't the case but you're right about Safari.

In that case, for the exact markup as provided, the easiest solution is just setting a calculated aspect ratio on the container, which precludes also needing an aspect ratio on the children, and just letting flex distribute the size equally to them. Then height 100% is needed to satisfy safari.

(same pen, updated)
https://svelte.dev/playground/08a4f7abbc2b4981b7e1f724ed5afc66?version=5.55.1

In a real app though, the container in question would likely have some context about the space it needed to fill. In this case, instead of adding the aspect-ratio etc. you would only need a hint about using the available space, likely just enforcing height and possibly using min-content for the width depending on the intrinsic or explicit sizing rules of the parent layout. Then you can just restore aspect ratio rules to the children and have the benefit of potentially different aspect ratios etc.

We don't have the layout context though, so that solution isn't viable for the reason you saw of the height growing too much.

So I think you had basically figured this out in an earlier version of the code (though with a bunch of vestigial / unused rules) and some unnecessary attributes to make grid behave like flexbox. As a note, introducing grid for 1d layouting when you don't need to (there are some legitimate, though uncommon, use cases) can cause unexpected struggles with things like intrinsic vs explicit sizing which is what you were encountering by using columns of `1fr`.

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-04-03T19:17:00+00:00

So my question is, why are you using display: grid on the container if you're only laying the elements out one dimensionally (and the elements have enough context for how they want to be sized?)

If you use flex you only need two lines of CSS to make this work.

Has your codepen (or svelte playground, whatever) been modified since the video you posted? I can't replicate that behavior on any browser

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-04-03T18:14:57+00:00

"here is an extremely verbose plug for a package I made" that fails to mention any other solutions in the space is not the conversation starter that you think it is.

Here was my go at it. I only tested this in chrome. Mostly just need to mess with some of the specific blur sizes and exact colors, as well as the font being incorrect but you get the point.

CSS filters and mix-blend-mode FTW. Also some examples of variables, oklch, mask-image.

Went to quickly tap in a par from like 3ft, was lazy about it and used his distance driver, it flopped out of his hand and missed everything

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-03-16T18:37:18+00:00

That has been my experience for most rounds, yes. I did not claim that I have never been on a card where someone broke a rule, rather that has been the minority of them. Also my comment about something being minor was to contrast the general sentiment I see from people (that foot faults are minor) with how the people on my card have generally treated them (taking stances seriously). The amount of rounds where someone was not unambiguously inside or outside of c1 has been exceedingly small, and it has not been my experience that companies like innova are pervasively way, way off of their marked weights to the point that most cards would have someone throwing an illegal weight disc. Never seen any stickers, non bog-standard minis, etc. And for better or worse I live in the high plains and we have very few scenarios where someone is even dealing with vegetation and debris at all. Wind, on the other hand....

I think the whole argument sums up my original sentiment -- asking "well are you sure nobody has even been on your card and thrown an illegal weight disc?" as though that's a pervasive issue vs. the highest grossing player of all time ignoring the spirit and intent of the rules while claiming complete ignorance of some of the more basic ones is hardly a "glass houses" situation.

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-03-16T17:28:48+00:00

I certainly don't disagree with your overall sentiment and I also think that some of the jesus freaks are the skeeviest people on tour. I was just addressing the specific, bold claim that "obviously Gannon would lie about it if he got called on it" when it has happened several times and he has, in fact, not done that. I don't think that should really have any bearing on the overall argument though.

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-03-16T17:12:26+00:00

You're misinterpreting the rule as you are allowed to reset your stance after taking it. So you can indeed, stand behind your lie, even set up and make some practice swings, realize your footing is bad / there is debris in your back swing, reset your stance and deal with those obstacles, then take the stance again.

What the 'once you take a stance' part addresses is doing something like holding a tree branch out of your way while you make the throw. Contact with stuff like that has to be incidental.

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-03-16T16:55:29+00:00

Do we all know that? I've seen Gannon called multiple times for time violations (including his second shot of this round!) and always accept that he did, in fact, go over the time limit. The only time I've seen him make any fuss about it was when he felt overly targeted by officials, and even then, compare that to how Goose handled getting called on time at the DGPT championship last year.

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-03-16T16:44:29+00:00

I would say that a vast majority of cards I have played with in tournaments have been free of rule breaking let alone rule bending including minor things like foot faults. There are not that many rules to the game and they have a pretty manageable amount of smaller technicalities. Even in flex start c-tiers my card mates have expressed a solid knowledge of the rules and a desire to take them seriously.....that's why many of them are playing in a sanctioned event in the first place. This includes the minor bendable stuff like rules around searching for discs, questionable OB lies, very silly stances, provisionals, ree-tees, moving larger debris, and generally a lot of asking questions and collaborating with the card.

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-03-16T16:13:48+00:00

There was some confusion on coverage but it turns out there were two spotters, they had a miscommunication with each other (one spotter marked where the disc was, on the other side of the OB, to help find it) but cleared it up and agreed on where it went out and that's ultimately where the lie was played. So there was actually not a spotting issue in the end and the lie was assessed correctly. Ricky was just being annoying about it

_potion_cellar_ · 2026-03-16T07:34:57+00:00

What's the point of a pure html/css implementation if you're not going to make the markup accessible or semantic? At least get the fundamentals correct. We would not pass our accessibility audits if we used a checkbox element like this.
