@LongFormMath “Okay, we’re going to approximate the turkey as a point mass…”

It’s pretty amazing how far you can get after cutting the problem down to the bone.

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

@MargaretLByron A coherent structure?

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

@juliesarus I get packages delivered to three different addresses. It’s good for forcing me to walk around!

@jmlilly The creator of that slide has probably never played Dungeons and Dragons given the use of that d10.

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

@roguewave @NickPizzoOceans Yes, with airflow sheltering (separated and non-separated) the key factor.

@NMFish @Shaysh305 @vrp2003 Setting off fireworks after your last game ever in the Orange Bowl after getting waxed 48-0 by UVA is the low watermark of the program. The pathetic combination of sadness and embarrassment I felt in that stadium is difficult to describe.

@realmilancurcic @JuliusBusecke The neat (and possibly unique) detail about the French et al. [2007] result is that it was made from a low (piloted) flight through the eyewall of a hurricane. I don't know where that particular Fabian measurement was made, but *six* flights were made at altitudes <100 m. Wow.

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

@realmilancurcic @JuliusBusecke Standard caveats about the reliability of a single measurement, etc.

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

@BMcNoldy I like that it’s a percentile-based region (inter-tertile?). But do you think it would be more useful in communicating uncertainty if it were produced from the ensemble runs for each particular storm?

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

A great opportunity to do some much-needed work.

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

@blairajohnson I find flights to be great for knocking out reviews.

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

@roguewave Excellent decision. Team Chalk!

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

@caro I feel your sentiments re: I-84. But I think that New Haven-style apizza is great enough to make up for the rest of the state’s transportation sins.

@KrysMarshall Arrival is my favorite of this sub-genre.

[Nathan Laxague @NathanLaxague]

@pauldauenhauer Were they able to get the power consumption down from 1.21 GW?

@TAMU_Coastal I also have an irregularly-shaped office, but the misaligned drop ceiling in yours really adds that extra je ne sais quoi.
