I'm sorry but what do you mean that the worst weather IN THE WORLD is in the fucking Appalachians??????

www.nhmagazine.com/so-is-mt-was...

Text that reads: But what about the other seemingingly inhospitable places such as Siberia, Alaska and other northern locations that aren’t very welcoming?

I’ve looked at data for Siberian locations from Vladivostok to Provideniya to Murmansk. None of these ticks off each box — the cold, wind and wet conditions — that Mt. Washington claims.

on Mount Washington they have to CHAIN DOWN THE BUILDINGS LEST THEY FLY AWAY??

The original weathered shingle-clad building is chained to the ground, here covered in rime ice in early April.

Mount Washington is the home of the highest windspeed not associated with a tornado or hurricane. It is 231 mph. It just... does that????

People are so fascinatingly stupid about Mt. Washington.

I’m sorry but what were over 20 people thinking:

Nearly Two Dozen Hikers Were Left Stranded by Snow atop New England’s Highest Peak

Officials said the hikers were “ill-prepared” for winter weather. New Hampshire is one of the few to levy fines on rescued hikers deemed to have entered the wilderness unprepared. Could they pay?

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

a graphic showing the pantone numbers for the two core colors of the toronto blue jays. they are skydome blue (pantone 293) and Stieb Navy (pantone 282)

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

It is somehow fitting that the first sport to fully overwhelm the timeline on the retirement home for millennial posters is baseball, the Spreadsheet Nerd's sport.

oh my GOD

Screenshot from Marc Carig, senior managing editor for the NYT’s MLB coverage, that I pulled off someone else’s screenshot on a different platform. It reads as follows:

“On the bright side for the Dodgers, that grand slam was hit in Canada, so with the exchange rate it worth only like 3.1 runs. So there's that.”
