It's so randomly weird that a bunch of these are in Utah and I have personally visited them, including one in my neighborhood last week! Some days the Internet is so....local.

As a Meteorologist, I love this! There is one little thing to be aware of with using Purple Air for temperatures, though, as their primary purpose is AQI not temp, all temp data comes with this disclaimer. That said, everything is still at

While I, as a Meteorologist and formerly involved in the TV business, I agree with you on using visuals entirely to overstate this, the fact that the field in the dome was set up before the storm to house thousands of electrical lineman and

Ballpark, 80k to 150k for those Furuno systems in the USA depending on single or dual polarity, etc. I have taken the sales pitch.

I live fairly close to the wonderful museum this is located at on Hill Air Force Base north of SLC. This new exhibit is really neat but not very big, all things considered, and not worth the trip on its own. What is worth the trip is the mu

Well, every U2 that lands needs to take off again, so maybe it was related to takeoff more than landing...

Forget newspapers, lets talk about SiriusXM and trying to cancel that; it makes the worst newspaper look like they are doing it perfectly.

It's hard to envision the FiveThirtyEight brand without Nate Silver being involved in it. I know they are going to keep it going as a stats-driven site, but so much of it was built on Nate's original and unique approach to data.

I know a few people who have been hired at this facility but washed out in the training and testing program; the speed and accuracy required to work here is outstanding and evidently quite difficult to achieve.

Jim is a wonderful person who I've had the pleasure of interacting with a few times in real life; he simply loves what he does and has become THE source for ski area illustrations, even as resorts stop physically printing trail maps.

I love launching rockets with my 11 year old but it's so hard to find a good spot these days where you don't end up with a police visit (that happened, worked out fine) or a risk of starting a wildfire, etc.

It's interesting because to me the idea of labeling these the way they are now, like "BROADCAST TV FEE" is in some ways, more clear and less of a "hidden fee" than bundling it in with the larger price and not saying

The thing is, Utah's Governor is impossibly excited to sign this into law as soon as possible.

I can't remember if this was someone I know or an urban legend, but I heard a story once of someone who grabbed a super glue from a purse thinking it was eye drops because the container shapes are so similar, and got super glue right i

Provel isn't worthy of using the word "cheese" to describe it. (said lovingly as someone who worked in STL and was often handed pies of "office pizza" from Imo's.)

This sounds like pricing used to be for the Twitter Firehose - so expensive (and so, so much data to wrangle)

A 2-2 split FCC does no good for anyone, it's really frustrating to see 2 years of waiting end with no action.

I'm a Meteorologist and after trying all kinds of commercially available and home-brew systems over the years I settled on a Weatherflow unit, by Tempest, it JUST WORKS and does everything I need, minus air quality which I have a Purpl

Eh, I mean I'm not a pilot either and they let me fly one (was a guest in the back seat of a USAF Thunderbird and got to take control for a bit).
