Weird weather edition
This is an open thread cobbled together for the community.
Had someone lined-up to host today, but assume the weird
weather has crashed power in her area.



I've decided to make a new kind of OT. I'm going to try out the idea for a few weeks to see if y'all like it.
If you have an interest in planetary exploration, you might want to get yourself online this Thursday, February 18. NASA’s Perseverance rover is set to land on Mars around 3:55 PM Eastern (2:55 PM Central, 12:55 PM Pacific). If the landing is successful, this will be a big deal, as this rover comes equipped with the tools to detect past life on the planet.
Chairman Powell of the Federal Reserve this week said something amazing. He said that the official unemployment rate, of 6.3%, wasn't real. And thus the official number was nothing but propaganda.
Now it's not a big surprise that the official unemployment rate is dramatically understated. But what is surprising is that they actually admitted it.
