A guy I met the other day told me "college is a scam." Part of me actually agreed with him because I think about how much of college I use professionally and it is less than 50%. Then there are other things I did not learn in college that are more important to me now. Very thought provoking!

🧵Dev Update: WxData is coming to the shell with being able to download data straight from the command line. You will also be able to export the cleaned up (and sub-setted if you only want regional data) xarray.array of the GRIB data as a NETCDF file.

Hi Bluesky friends. I wanted to share this video clip I shot during my recent Danube River cruise. This was in Austria, just before we crossed into Germany. Note the castle on top of the hill in the distance, and the fog in the valley. So beautiful! 😊

On this day 6 years ago September 27th, 2020 the rogue state of Azerbaijan launched an offensive against Artsakh, Armenia. Let us honor the lives and bravery of the heroes of the Artsakh Defense Forces and Armenian Army for standing up to tyranny while the rest of the world turned their backs. 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲

🧵This is a great question! My take is AI/ML libraries are written in either C, C++ or Rust binded to Python to optimize performance but allow data scientists who are not CS degrees to have an easier time interacting with the AI/ML algorithm (Python is easier than low level languages).

As a developer, one thing I find annoying about ECMWF compared to NOAA is eventhough their data is open source now, I still can't browse the AWS and Google Cloud buckets like I can for any NOAA model data. If the data is open, allow us to browse the bucket!!

🧵Dev Update: WxData 3.0 is currently in development. A lot of exciting things to come. 1) A full command-line interface to retrieve various types of weather data from the command-line and in shell scripts. 2) Several new data clients to fetch archived model data (AWS & Google Cloud).

I'm glad to see Republican voters are waking up and realizing the real issues we face rather than fall for the non-existent boogy man. No Democrats do not want to "trans your kids" and most Democratic voters including myself would strongly oppose such efforts if they existed.

I feel more forgiving towards this guy than most people probably. Sure, I hate his previous voting record, but let's put that aside and welcome him with open arms into our coalition and grow support for our side for the election. It's never too late to wake up and start voting the right way.

The cross-over support is much stronger this year than the 2024 "Republicans For Harris" which was a fluke since it was only the last couple Reaganites left like Cheney and Kinzinger. This year we are seeing MAGA voters turn on Trump and are either voting blue or staying home and not voting.

Every election cycle there is at least one flipped seat. I am wondering how many flipped seats this year and out of those flipped seats, which one will be the most surprising as well as which one will be the most impactful.

My entire family has polio, bad lettuce killed my grandma, we haven’t driven our Volkswagen Passat in 2 months because diesel is $8 a gallon, and the AI that replaced me at work is now trying to kill me. But at least President Trump is ensuring our military no longer has any Low-T soldiers.

When the Republicans talk about how "Israel is our greatest ally ever." Or how "Israel is a Democracy." Or how "Israel is the safest place in the Middle East for Christians." How is Israel the best Middle Eastern country for Christians, when Armenia is also Middle Eastern? 🤔

"Birds of the same feather flock together." This is the government of Israel celebrating Azerbaijan on perpetrating the Artsakh Genocide. Israel is also trying to ethnically cleanse the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem and they let settlers spit on Armenians and then protect the spitters with the IDF.

This never got any media attention in the U.S. because our so-called "allies" Turkey & Azerbaijan carried out this Genocide against 150,000+ Armenians in Artsakh. Aided & abetted by Israel who supplied them their arsenal of high tech weapons & drones used to kill innocent Armenians. #WorstAllyEver

Not to toot my own horn but impressed. My main college meteorology professor pushed the narrative that we won't make it in this field without at least an MS degree and I proved him wrong and taught myself how to code several years after graduating college. Getting married next year adds to this too.

Trump hosted the top clergy of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the Oval Office yesterday, including a bishop my Mom knows very well. It means absolutely nothing to me nor her because regardless of what was talked about he won't stop the TRIPP corridor that his buddies Erdogan and Aliyev want.
