Friday Random Stuff…

November 17, 2017, 14:09(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Software Updates
AMD Crimson ReLive Edition 17.11.2 (support for Star Wars Battlefront II, other fixes)

Tracking Turkeys
“A data collection service called SafeGraph collected 17 trillion location markers for 10 million smartphones during the holiday last year.”
Why?

Better Make That A Large Popcorn
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be the longest Star Wars movie ever. The Phantom Menace will still feel like it’s the longest though.

Because Meat, That’s Why (and beer, don’t forget beer)
The CDC says only 12% of Americans eat the daily recommended amount of vegetables. Look fellas, there is only enough room in my belly for so much. I can have a half pound bacon cheese burger and a beer or I can eat peas and broccoli. It’s no contest.
FYI – Vegetarians are less healthy and are more depressed.

Weather Forecasts, Someone Please Explain
Weather Service calls for third straight mild winter (October 19, 2017)
“For the third time in as many years, the nation — on balance — should expect warmer-than-normal temperatures, according to the National Weather Service, which released its winter outlook Thursday. The Weather Service favors warmer-than-normal conditions for the southern two-thirds of the Lower 48, including the Mid-Atlantic. Only a sliver of the Northern Plains and Pacific Northwest is expected to experience colder-than-normal temperatures…Still, Halpert said “there was nothing to indicate” the nation will have punishing outbreaks of the polar vortex as experienced in the winter of 2013-2014 and, to a lesser degree, the winter that followed.”
OK, then this…
Report: Polar vortex to bring ‘extended period of severe winter weather’ (November 16, 2017 )
“All indicators favor a cold winter in the eastern U.S.,” according to the report. “The combination of cold and wet could result in an above normal snow season for parts of the northern U.S., including the large population centers of the northeastern U.S.”
Criminy!
