Quote from: Norgy on December 23, 2025, 08:54:29 AMI can only remember one year when there was no snow in my hometown. It was back in 2006.

There was a slight snowfall in November, but with 8 degrees Celsius for well over a month and nothing but clouds with no rain, there is actually a chance that this "snow guaranteed" region of Norway will be snow free until at least January.

I am not sure what to think. It's not like I love shovelling snow every morning, but I find the darkness 19 hours a day a bit eerie when there is no snow.
Usually, there is about 1 metre or about 30-40 inches, sleet and ice here and -10 degrees Celsius here around this time. I suppose this means that by late January or early February we get a "Siberian" cold wave with -30 degrees.
Without snow, that will be a tough one for most buildings. Snow, while annoying, isolates.

Yes. That was always my stance on Swedish winter.
Yes the dark 23 hour nights (or whatever it is) are pretty dire... But November was worst. From December on there was a permanent carpet of snow and everything was so much nicer.

Quote from: The Minsky Moment on December 23, 2025, 12:08:22 PMInteresting letter to Nassar, not just for what it says about Trump, but because he makes a clear reference to his intent to commit suicide.  Did prison officials take any steps in response?

Wasn't he already on suicide watch?

Quote from: Richard Hakluyt on December 23, 2025, 11:38:30 AMI think we need to create powerful trade unions and join socialist parties; perhaps some of the more exuberant can become anarchists  :hmm:

Perhaps a Temperance League? But I don't like the sound of that as drink provides some solace from the pain of having malignant half-wits in charge  :cheers:

You and garbon join a Methodist congreation and hand out soup to streetwalkers in your respective areas. You take up pipe smoking and gardening. :hmm:

I should start a snuff tobacco habit, join a poetry club and advocate for the annexation of Greenland based on the Saga of Eric the Red. :bowler:

Quote from: Josquius on December 23, 2025, 05:14:35 AMIn the epstein files but then removed thus confirming what we all know about the stuff that was removed.

He has real doctors hand writing but this is a letter epstein wrote to a fellow sex offender. Note the bit in the bottom right....

You cannot view this attachment.

I can see Trump wouldn't want that out.
