Cmon, Ask Slim Anything

Dear slim,

Is this winter going to be as wet as this fall has been? I need to know so I can decide whether to kill myself or not.


Thanks,

maybe you should consider whether this question is best directed toward a guy who shines lights for a living or a recent student of climatology.

your call.

You'll tell me to kill myself regardless. Where's the mystery there?

Plus: what can a climatologist tell me that a magic 8-ball can't?

[actionhero]

Exactly. And at least the 8 ball won't brag about it's shoulders while making a wild ass guess.

the way i read that map says that approximately 90% of US & canada has equal chances of being above average, below average, or average with regards to precipitation. how the fuck is that forecasting anything??

Dear Koalajism,

As a wholehearted supporter of Obamanomics and a diehard shiteater, are you concerned about how Hollywood Hussein and Bernanke are devaluing the dollar at a faster pace than history has ever known via their absurd and irrational "recovery" programs? just keep FUCKING with banks, ACORN forcing them into bad loans, buying up private industry, throwing good money at bad, ... just fucking ludicrous fiscal policies. no drilling for oil, just throwing money at "green" energy and the middle east.. my GOD you shit eaters are FUCKING STUPID!! NOTHING to actually improve the economy.. no production, sales, etc. just throwing money around like rich a ........

i know you are a brain dead dullard, but maybe you can get a shit eater like lox (another Obamanomics supporter) to help you with some of these bigger numbers...

U.S. deficit biggest since 1945
Obama administration closes the books on fiscal 2009: Falling revenue plus soaring spending leads to a $1.42 trillion deficit.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- It's officially official.

The Obama administration on Friday said the government ran a $1.42 trillion deficit in fiscal year 2009.

That made it the worst year on record since World War II, according to data from the Treasury and the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Tax receipts for the year fell 16.6% overall, while spending soared 18.2% compared to fiscal year 2008. The causes: rising unemployment, the economic slowdown and the extraordinary measures taken by lawmakers to stem the economic meltdown that hit in fall 2008.

Consequently, the annual deficit rose 212% to the record dollar amount of $1.42 trillion, from $455 billion a year earlier.

As a share of the economy, the deficit accounted for 10% of gross domestic product, up from 3.2% in 2008. As breath-taking as that may be, it's still not in the same stratosphere as the 1945 deficit, which hit 21% of GDP.

Perfect deficit cocktail mix
Fiscal year 2009, which ended Sept. 30, had all the right ingredients for a record-breaking deficit.

While tax revenue overall took a big hit, corporate receipts led the way, falling 55%. Individual income tax revenue fell 20%.

At the same time spending jumped in large part because of the various economic and financial rescue measures undertaken. The Treasury and the OMB noted that the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program and the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, not all of which has been used, accounted for 24% of the deficit total.

As a result, the country is very near to breaching its so-called debt ceiling, currently set at $12.1 trillion. Lawmakers, however, are expected to vote to raise that ceiling this fall.

At the end of September, the country's total debt -- which is an accumulation of all annual deficits to date plus other obligations -- stood at $11.9 trillion.

The long-term view
In August, the OMB projected a 10-year deficit of $9 trillion, assuming President Obama's 2010 budget proposals are put in place.

A deficit of that magnitude means the debt held by the public would approach 82% of gross domestic product. That's double the 41% recorded in 2008

Slim,

Will WB ever stop bitching like a bitchmade bitch?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Saying something is "incredibly difficult" lowers the expectation to the point where repeated failure is tolerated.

I suppose being part of a field where results are completely unimportant must be nice, but I would never know. I'm too motivated to be right at least sometimes.

[Lox]

P.s. I'm sure that if you put as much effort into your shitty and useless weather forecasts as you put in your shitty and useless posts, you will have great success as a weatherperson. Go you!

Posting from the beach bitches. And yes Joyy I'm so happy you and STFU are not here.

This winter is going to be drier than the fall has been. I am planning to bolder more this winter, and I get what I want.

Now to go find some seafoodz....

No he wont. He is a bitch-made bitch, thus he whines like a bitch-made bitch. As long as people entertain him with responses he will continue posting. The only thread I choose to view his posts in is the "So Hot Right Now" thread. Wouldn't want to miss out on underage surfer chicks now would I?

[wild beast]

but niceporch,

lox teaches retards to "make peeepeee" in toilets!!! hail to the non-profit socialist ... umm... whatevers theys ares!!

[Lox]

You're an ass.

Well, at least we know climatologists aren't COMPLETELY wrong ALL of the time!

lol.

Private sector, Mr. Dot-Mil. Something your teatsucking ass can't understand.

[wild beast]

HAHAAAAAA!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOYAAAAAAAA!! THAT STRUCK A NERVE!!



lox teach ava to make peepees in the toilet bowl!! lox gets award for his effort. FUCK YES.

[Lox]

I'm honestly not surprised you don't undertand the concept of a professional certification. The average government employee doesn't have to be certified for shit to fuck up... er I mean, do their job.

[Lox]

And damn I look good in those jeans. I wish they hadn't disintegrated. Levis on sale at Kohls tomorrow. Maybe I can get another pair.

[Lox]

Seriously, ladies... you should see that from the back. Yowza. Taken though. Your loss.

[Lox]

I can actually insert posts between your triple posts.

You know... if I wasn't too lazy to open the admin control panel.

Failure is not tolerated. Meteorologists/climatologists are continually improving forecast accuracy, not only for temp and precip, but for hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves, and other types of severe weather. We save lives. We save money. We are environmental watchdogs. Most meteorologists, public and private, are required to maintain a high degree of short-term forecast accuracy. For temperature, you would probably need be within +/-3 degrees for day-1, +/-5 for day-2, +/-5 for day-3, etc. If you miss a destructive hail storm. You get canned. We told y'all Katrina was gonna fuck shit up. Government and public response is typically where the failure resides.

My undergraduate research improved on 24-hour computer temperature forecasts by a degree. That's huge. That research is actively being used at a major utility company. My graduate research saves cotton farmers money, helps to replenish aquifers, and decreases pollution runoff.

I know. I know. Applied science isn't as important as the immense amount of "taxpayer funded work you push through internet explorer."

You're an ass. Go berate something you actually know about.
