If it hadn't rained in Greenland in 1933 and 1950, I'd be amazed. Apparently, 70 years is "recorded history" now. A report from the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in 1975 (https://erdc-library.erdc.dren.mil/jspui/bitstream/11681/11728/1/SR-216.pdf) notes "Hogue also notes that in the Centrale-Eismitte area, drizzle and rain were each reported once in a three-year period, on 20 and 21 June 1950, respectively". CNN itself is hypocritical on the issue, the headline blaring "Rain fell at the normally snowy summit of Greenland for the first time on record", then in the article stating "It was the heaviest rainfall on the ice sheet since record keeping began in 1950"; using "first time on record" in the headline and then contradicting themselves in the article suggests that CNN's intent is to whip up fear about climate change, not report news. And with the paucity of sensor stations on Greenland, it is entirely possible that there have been more that have gone unnoticed and unrecorded.

I don't recall which airline it was that had the advertising campaign, but there was a running joke after the rash of hijackings to Cuba started:
(stewardess 1) "I'm Carol. Fly me to Orlando!"
(stewardess 2) "I'm Barbara. Fly me to New York!"
(man in balaclava with gun) "I'm Manuel. Fly me to Havana."

Looks like someone's channeling Vaughn Bode and his "Motorcycle Mama" artwork

Unfortunately, the sole image on the Senia website showing one of the beef Wellingtons, as well as the top image in the article, suggests that most, if not all, of the intricate coloration in the artistic presentation is lost under the Maillard reaction when the dish is cooked -- the colorful images all appear to be uncooked examples; it would have been nice to have better images of the cooked results to see how well the artistry carries over.

It's the same legal reasoning that preserved the status of tomatoes as a vegetable, despite being botanically a fruit. Basically, there are legal definitions for various food items for the purpose of assessing taxes or import duties, and which side of a division something falls on affects how and if the government collects those fees.

It's in the Forbes article that way, so there's an excuse for the subliteracy, but "2400 megawatts" just tells you the maximum load; there's nothing about the capacity of the storage systems -- i.e., how long can the storage systems deliver that load? If the installed battery base can provide 2400 megawatts of power, but can only do so for one hour, that's not going to be very useful when solar and wind production isn't up to the demand. The megawatt-hour capacity of the battery systems is even more important than just the maximum load.

I am reminded of the classic problem from high-school physics, where you are asked to describe how to measure the height of a building with a barometer.

1.The canonical answer: measure the air pressure at the base of the building, and at the top of the building, and calculate the height based on the difference in air pressure.

2.Climb to the top of the building and drop the barometer off the side of the building, measuring the time it takes to hit the ground, using the formula for distance covered under acceleration to calculate the height.

3.Lower the barometer down the side of the building on a rope, and then measure the rope.

4.Set the barometer on the ground, and measure the height of the barometer, the length of its shadow, and the length of the building's shadow, and use the principle of ratios to calculate the height of the building.

5.Place the barometer on the ground and back up to a point where, looking from the ground, the barometer subtends the same visual angle as the building. Compare the distance from your visual point to the barometer and the building, and again using the principle of ratios, calculate the height of the building.

6.Climb the side of the building, marking your climb in units of the height of the barometer, then multiply the height of the building in barometers by the actual height of the barometer to get the building's height.

7.Knock on the door of the building superintendant, and when he answers, greet him and say, "Sir, if you can tell me the height of this building, I will give you this fine barometer."

I'm certain there are others, but these were the ones that my high-school physics teacher recounted when talking about the problem.

Stories like this are an example of how to sensationalize events by describing them out of context. Yes, the temperature of 100.4°F set a new record... but it beat the previous record, set in 1915, by a mere 0.4°F. Clearly, an increase in record high temperature of 0.4°F over a century is a dire consequence of global warming, and a single day's high temperature is obviously entirely anthropogenic in nature.

Remembering a mistake from back when I was in college, these outfits are going to produce some... interesting... sunburns.

Take one marble out of the "BW" box. The other marble in that box must be the same color, or the label will be correct. Suppose it's white. The "BB" box therefore must have one black and one white marble, or its label would be correct, and the "WW" box must have two black marbles. The same process of elimination can be extended if the marble you draw is black.

"When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults."

'Deers'? Really? 'Deer' is an irregular plural, like 'sheep', 'aircraft', 'swine', 'trout', and many others, for which the singular and plural are identical.
