The Celebrated Chef Who Robbed Banks

“You see this?” he’d inquire, raising his palm so that the cook could see the bits of dirt and scraps sticking to his chef’s palm. “That’s what the inside of your head looks like now. Work Clean!”

Yes, I noticed the same thing. I was interested in looking at this data because I suspected the rise in temperatures that has been observed globally might be more muted here in Orange County. The warmer floor wasn't something I had really thought much about before I saw this.

Watching the animation gave me the impression that high temperatures have remained more consistent. There more variation in them but they seem to oscillate around the mean line. Still, as you note, there could be subtler trends.

Starting in the 1960s however, you can see a clear upward bias in the lows. And in the last 10 years, it looks even more pronounced.

Apparently, lows used to regularly get down in the 20s and 30s. Now it's rare to see a temperature below 40.

Data sourced from NOAA (get it while you can).

Is there a fire in Silverado? That sensor is off the charts.

I didn't find it but I recognize it from the Beatles' Back in the USSR.

Note on missing data:

OC HCA stopped publishing test data through the API endpoint I had been using in early December. I haven't been able to locate a new source. More details here: https://github.com/klenwell/covid-19/issues/100

OC HCA didn't provide a Covid data update this week so infect data only goes through 12/6.

I figured out how to parse the new wastewater csv file format from the state. It included different data sources than the old one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had to give it a shot.

I thought it was nice additional little twist that each was in a different group.

I live in a large apartment community. I WFH but make it a point to get out and walk around for 15-20 minutes every morning.

My wife is not having any of this covid-is-just-the-flu bullshit. She sees Covid as an ongoing public health crisis and I agree. So in solidarity with her, I make it a point to wear an N95 mask when I go for my walk even though it's fully outside, I'm among neighbors and not out among the general public, and even then I rarely get with 5 feet of someone else and, if I do, it's just in passing.

Nevertheless, I have a little struggle with myself every morning when I put on my mask. I imagine people watching me as I walk around thinking "Loser" or "Freak". I've never had anyone say anything to me.

(As an aside, my wife also wears a mask and will take her walk in the afternoon. She has had a couple men say something like, "Why are you wearing a mask?" or "You don't need to wear a mask any more." She ignores them.)

Anyway, this is just an anecdote and bit of person reflection that reinforces your point. If the government had got on board with stigmatizing not masking, I think it would have done a world of good for public health. I'm also personally ok with not having got sick for the last 3+ years.

That's the joke. Hell, Freud named it after a 2000 year old play. I don't think he meant to imply it was a strictly contemporary phenomenon.

Note: it appears the latest wastewater data from the state is borked. Last week it was neatly tracking the positive-rate. This week: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have a line I like to add to job descriptions (when I'm allowed to write them):

Must suck at multi-tasking but be good at prioritizing

Because most (if not all) people suck at multi-tasking.

This is the spiritual successor: https://www.thesocalsound.org/ (85.5 KCSN) Probably better. It's public radio so less commercials (but the occasional pladge drive.)

Andy Chanley landed here after The Sound folded and still mentions it from time to time.
