Arctic finally in recharge

 That was quite a blow, but the main forecast has it all retreating.


To me, it doesn't look like it.


Greenland is going white, and the continent finally has a pinch of black.


It all depends on that bit of flow coming down on us.  The Arctic is in full recharge, sucking in all the warm air, and converting it to cold sludge.  But will it turn off all outward flow?  Don't know.  The Europe flow is starting to organize, so we can expect that with the next breakout.

We expect snow for Toronto today

ps I had a hose nozzle blow up on me now, at just -6C.  We are going to -14.  Take in the bottled water, and any other drinks.

ps whoops, suddenly at 4:30 pm, the whole Arctic is dumping on us.  Hopefully it changes tomorrow.

M7 Alaska Armpit Earthquake

 


This is probably it, for earthquakes at this time.  Maybe smaller aftershocks.  For a while there were earthquakes working up the west coast, and I said it would end with an armpit earthquake.  I was expecting something bigger, but it was so long ago.  These things are slow.  

The big M9's would be along the smooth subduction zone.  This is nothing compared to them.


SSD drive prices may be up a factor of 5!

 Prices of drives are now at 1-200 per tb with only Gen 1 chips.  They are scanning the garbage piles for these.  Gen 2 is all you can buy now at a premium (not Gen3).  The AI boom is taking up all the memory production lines.  Crucial has dropped out of the market and is only producing DDR5 ram for the Artie monsters.  Expect 'Zero Day' soon, for ssd memory.

We can only hope that the whole craze explodes.  The big central locations can't scale, because you have to concentrate enough power to melt the earth.  

As I said before, we are getting flooded by millions of engineered fraud ssd drives.  All designed to fool Windows users.

We'll soon be back to 'Spinning Rust' for our drives.
