have on F1 qualifying for the #AustralianGP attm between radar shots. how the cars are having to do warm-up laps with battery recharge before qualifying, and even then nearly running out of charge due to the new regs, just will be different. and Max losing it into turn 1 on his flier doesn't help.

Other weird thought for the night, after watching a 99 episode of Top of the Pops on yt. We know 47's song of choice for some reason is YMCA. But if you listen to the lyrics of the song " Pretty Fly for a White Guy" closely, wouldn't that describe him and others in the cabinet better?

Dropkick Murphys finish up their set at a benefit show across from Alex Pretti Memorial: β€œWe’ll never forget what we saw with our own eyes, we’ll never forget what we’ve seen here today. thank we’ve seen here today. Thank you all for allowing us to come bear witness with you, thank you Minnesota!”.

update for southern Lower Michigan...
the thunderstorm, now in Jackson County, still has some rotation, and it still has locally high straight-line wind gusts and hail. but the rotation is just something to watch aloft attm, not on the ground. still shelter if it's near you, but just be careful.

that storm near Michigan Hwy 60 is headed towards I-69 in Calhoun County Michigan. if you're on that Interstate in Calhoun County, get out of there ASAP. if you're approaching that county on I-69, stop until the storm moves out of the county.

Question for those who have on F1 FP2 attm on Apple TV. Was it just my TV, or is Apple showing the Sky Sports 4k feed for F1? I saw my HDR kick on , and that only usually happens in full 4k mode.

definitely. and one right near Vance AFB attm. nasty near-ground velocity sig.

Advice for those traveling in the MSP metro this morning, visibility is crap out there from 35e in STP to 61 past CG. Ease off the speed a touch. This type of fog is the stuff that chain reaction accidents are made of if someone else screws up.

Heading to bed shortly. But from what I'm seeing on msnow, it looks like the GOP US Senate primary for Texas is gonna get real ugly for the runoff. I mean worse than Homer in a speedo ugly.

2 for 2 lately on these statements. I have to wonder how much of a push is by the Archbishops and Cardinals and how much of the push is directly from the Vatican and Leo.

well, he made his choice. I guess that starting job for Canada for the WC is fading away real fast.

It's a good thing for Them these betting places aren't being run like the original Vegas sports books in the 80s and 90s. Those betting on inside info on those old sports books would have their least worries being federal legislation.
But yes, we now need the feds to be forced to step in.

it's insider betting, pure and simple. if someone tried that at a Vegas Sportsbook, they'd be at least kicked out of the sportsbook with their winnings not paid at a minimum, and possibly they'd be either in jail or worse.

Well, quickie first half summary...

More shots, but not much close. And the loons don't quite look as adjusted to being -6c as they should be. Have to remember pv=nrt in these conditions. #mnufc

Looking at the latest radar, I'm not sure we even have a #FlurryOpener today much less a #SnowOpener. The band of snow chose US 14 today instead of US 12. Oh well. It's still a cold opener for #mnufc v #Fccincy . It is what it is. Still, #COYL

so, made your choice for the US Senate Primary down there yet? I don't want to know who you support, just curious if you supported someone.

About what happened in the middle east this morning.
it's a conflict started by someone in major political trouble domestically to save another political leader in another country that's in trouble politically and criminally to take out someone who was about to be canned by his own people.

Btw, for anyone who needs their post Olympics curling fix, the Brier ( Canadian championship) is available to Americans via the TSN channel on YouTube. The US championship I think is also available online, just not sure where.

well, just looked at the latest models real quick (shown below at 18Z/2pm CT). between them as well as the NWS forecast, I think we can declare semi-officially that the #mnufc v #fccincy game tomorrow will be a #SnowOpener here in St Paul. we'll see if it confirms or not in the stadium. #minvcin

as a Catholic, I am proud that the USCCB is finally coming around on this and are saying what needs to be said. As for Opus Dei, I would think this is a warning to them to not push their luck.

so, this is what? a combination of the movies "War Games", "Terminator" and the original Star Trek episode "The Ultimate Computer"?

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.
