    COVID 19 VACCINE?

    So at work I got asked if i wanted to receive the covid vaccine for next week the first dose, of the vaccine my boss came up to me and told me if i wanted to get it and i said hell no I don't trust that piece of crap. All my coworkers were telling me don't be a chicken and just get the shot everyone is going to get the vaccine except for me. My boss was telling she recommends me to get it because the media is saying that the covid vaccine might be mandatory. Which i doubt. I am never going to get the vaccine at all I was wondering is it true that airports are going to force people get the vaccine i hope not I am never touching that covid vaccine, a vaccine usually takes 5 years to develop according to sources i feel like they rushed out the new vaccine. is it true they are going to force the vaccine in the future i hope is not true. I am never touching that covid vaccine

    What could that huge, pale orange, round thing, that was quietly gliding along in the sky in the middle of the night, mid-1960's, have been?

    Favourite answer:

    The exhaust plume from a military aircraft. Slow moving meteorite. Experimental orbital shenanigans. Ball lightning. A mirage.

    There are plenty of perfectly Earthly explanations for what you saw up in the air. Your best source of an explanation would be meteorologists. They are the people who specialize in stuff people experience up in the Earth's atmosphere.

    What does “dry heat” in arizona feel like? ?

    I live in NJ and i’m genuinely curious since 80 degrees always feels so hot to me since i have the east coast humidity and i’d usually be sweating by then. What would that same temperature feel like in arizona? Or what if it was a bit cooler like the 60’s in arizona.. which as someone from NJ that’s very nice weather for me. Thanks for any answers.

    Why are the top three wind energy producing states all red?

    Favourite answer:

    California does well with solar, because it can be put on individual houses, schools, and businesses unobtrusively  Wind generally doesn't make sense in those places, because communities don't like a tall, noisy wind turbine next door.  Besides steady wind, utility wind farms need cheap land to be profitable.  There are sites like that in California, to be sure - just not as many as in the great plains.  Actually, at #4, California is in the same league as #2 Iowa and #3 Oklahoma.  Texas is by far the breakaway leader, with more installed capacity than the next 3 states combined.  According to the article cited below, this is attributed to a push by their governor in the early 2000's.

    California is my home state, and I know we have been pushing solar for quite a while, now.  In the early 2000's, we had state incentives (in addition to the federal) to install solar, and in fact, we put it on our house in 2006.  While the grid at our house has generally been stable, one advantage of solar is that we could theoretically have power at least a few hours a day if the grid ever did go down.

    Can moonlight melt snow?

    What I mean is, Is there any circumstance in which outside factors, such as air and surface temps, etc. are not QUITE enough to melt snow, but the addition of moonlight  is the deciding factor?

    Texas Snow Storm?

    Favourite answer:

    First off, Texas does see snow and ice storms EVERY year, espically in the northern parts of the state. Texas IS a massive state, that experiences all aspects of weather events due to different land topogrogphy.

    Secondly, there was a very strong polar vortex, which was anchored up over the North Pole, but came as far south as the Gulf Of Mexico. All that cold/artic air was pulled down from the north, into Texas, which caused the temperatures to drop to historic lows. There was a series of lows that came up off the Rockies, bringing preicipatation, because it was below freezing, it fell as primarliy snow, as far south as the Gulf.

    How did our ancestors survive weather conditions worse than 26 degrees outside?

    Favourite answer:

    Well, sometimes they didn't.

    You have to understand that our ancestors tended not to live in areas with the worst weather conditions for their eras. There's a reason why human civilization advanced quickly among the late Gravettian-era peoples of Europe (i.e., the Solutrians ca 20,000-17,000 BCE): they were living in the relatively temperate areas, like southern France.

    The people who did live in areas with extremely cold weather were in the minority. They bundled up in thick animal skins and furs and spent a lot of time indoors by roaring fires.

    But while they usually lived long enough to reproduce and ensure the survival of the species, the difficult conditions, among other things, often killed them off at relatively young ages.
