    If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few [COVID] cases, if any,

    Trump honestly believes that if you close your eyes it will go away. That or he just wants to stop providing evidence for his enemies (the American people).

      It’s an infantile lack of development and yet he is president of the US…the country known to put Karen’s on a pedestal.

    This just a day or two after that article about how AI is going to allow us to predict the weather weeks/months in advance.

    Get ready for weather slop reports.

    What the fuck hasn’t Trump and his administration set back at least a decade (before his reign of terror started)?

      at least a decade

      My trust in the american government and the us population as a whole…because I’ll never trust/like/respect either of these ever, ever again.

      (I appreciate that you said “at least” but to me that suggests there’s an option for a rethink in the future. However, nope, there’s no “at least” in all this, there is only never!)

        I meant already more than a decade. Shit… he was elected the first time almost a decade ago. (And I’ve aged a good 30 years since then)

    A) He wants his techbros to put their satellites in place of us govt.

    B) He believes that removing weather satellites will eliminate hurricanes.

      Just like Covid numbers, he wanted to stop testing because testing shows the numbers going up. No tests, no numbers to go up. Standard GOP party line; lie, deflect, obfuscate.

      The weather has been so fucked lately it’s really hard to compare them. I see a spread of of over 10 degree differences between open meteo, Google, AccuWeather, and wunderground.

      Tomorrow AccuWeather says 78, OpenMeteo says 81, and Google says 74.

      I will say open source apps default to OpenMeteo, im not sure how to compare what a site predicts vs actual weather.

        im not sure how to compare what a site predicts vs actual weather.

        that’s kind of tough because the forecast changes at least every day. which forecast do you measure off of? the one that morning? the one the day before? the one a week before? all of them? wunderground has a historical weather tab you can at least get the actual data from but if i’m getting that invested i’m setting up a local weather station.

          At first if look at the day of. On the day of prediction how do the high and lows compare against the predicted values for that day. It’s kind of a check, how much can I trust what they say. One store is saying I need to prep for rain, another that it’ll be clear, they aren’t usually that extreme but it’s come close.

          And I’ve considered getting a weather station and doing my own comparison since some stations arent very close.

      Should be obvious but it’s not the website nor even the forecast, but they all depend on having sufficient data

      i have preferred wunderground for a while, but they are not what they were before they got bought out. also they’re based in San Francisco.

      i’ve been looking for a new weatherwebsite for like a decade now. i have not looked very hard, but it’s a back burner project

    (this is the goal).

    To sabotage every aspect of USA.

    Trump enriches himself and dodges prison; foreign adversaries get a leg-up.

    If we want to know about the weather, I trust Trump to give a more accurate forecast than some guy with “woke” college degree.

      Yeah, remember that time where the forecasters were wrong about the path of a hurricane and we didn’t even know until he drew it in with a sharpie?

    Like it matters. It’s going to be scorching all the time soon anyway.
