It's looking at the camera like that because we were engaged in dialogue (I whistled to it every time it sang)
You should know that this wasn't a solar flare, but a coronal mass ejection. Look that up instead. No, it's nothing too bad either. The one in 1859 was a big one and some people got electrocuted at telegraph stations, but this ain't like that.
Not a solar flare but a coronal mass ejection. And while the subsequent G5 geomagnetic storm can do damage to various technological systems, it shouldn't be anything too bad.
CTRL F "Peer review" No matches.
Don't get me wrong, it's definitely interesting that this thing keeps making headlines after all these years, but if the drive is capable of the kinds of thrust they say it's getting, why haven't they been able to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt? Every space agency and their dog would already be sending prototypes into orbit if they didn't think that this was a scam.
It is a gender neutral pronoun.
Also when talking about people, it would be nice if they was a lot more normalized even in situations where the gender of the person is known.
[ˈbloːhaj] because that's how Blåhaj is pronounced.
Imagine not knowing your bearings at all times...
Also imagine not looking like a sailor...

True, but it's also the name of the Roman godess, which does make it allign better with all the other astronomical names.
I know that this is a joke, but an actual nihilist would just say "ok then"
If they get down on their knees, cry and wet themselves, they are not a nihilist.

*Wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) warnings.
Wet-bulb is a part of a measurement instrument (the wet-bulb thermometer).
Wet-bulb temperature (WBT) is the lowest temperature that can be reached through evapourative cooling in the present ambient temperature and humidity. A high WBT results in your body starting to overheat as sweating looses effectiveness.
WBGT is an index for measuring heat stress in direct sunshine. It takes into account the effects of wind speed and solar radiation.
Here's the map for WBT for that timestamp from windy.com using ECMWF data:
The highest WBT I could find there was around 29°C.
Private weather station?
It's pretty much impossible to make reliable forecasts based on the data of a singular weather station. The initial data comes in from a variety of sources including satellites, radars, surface observation stations (weather stations) and upper air soundings around the globe. All of the above are maintained by public sector organizations who collaborate and share the data because the weather is an inescapably global thing. During WW2 the Germans actually set foot in Canada to set up a weather station in an attempt to spread the coverage of their observation network.
Nowadays all that data is used as inputs for numerical weather prediction models, running on supercomputers in the basements of meteorological institutes and agencies. Big global ones like ECMWF and GFS are used pretty much by all meteorologists around the world, who look at those and other smaller, more local models. They compare the different forecasts and critically evaluate the probabilities of different outcomes. They apply their own judgement selecting the most credible raw forecast and then edit that if needed. All in all, it's a very global effort.
At least where myself and @Kusimulkku@lemm.ee are from, meteorologists at the public broadcasting company (where that title is a requirement for getting the job) collaborate closely with their colleagues at the national meteorological institute. Their job is to comprehend the situation as presented by the institute, decide which bits of it are important, and then boil that down into a smooth and easy to understand presentation.
If a weather reporter isn't an actual meteorologist, then there is an actual meteorologist behind the scenes who made the presentation for the reporter to present.
