Evie Day 118
Good morning everybody! Today is 12 July 2023. It’s Wednesday.
I started my new four-week course yesterday, and all-in-all I think things went well. There are still some folks dealing with the challenges of local policies and VPN connections that prevent them from gaining access to some of the tools we use in the class. Some companies really lock things down so far that people can’t even join a meeting being hosted outside their corporate confines. Then, of course, the learners expect us to hack their security so they can join the meeting… but, no, hacking someone’s corporate security policies isn’t a good practice for a trainer to get into.
Record heat waves passing across Arizona, Texas, all the way across the south into Florida. We’re going to get close to triple-digits today, but not the 110 degrees F that some places are going to deal with. In Texas, the Governor eliminated water breaks for state workers… and I think that will lead to road workers dying.
I was debating with some clown in the comments section again about climate change, and he decided to rattle off a few names of climatologists that believe that human beings are not responsible for changes in the climate, the rise in CO2 and methane, etc. I randomly picked one of the names to read about how that particular scientist had been discredited, and that he had some pretty poor positions on certain topics – like the relationship between second-hand smoke and lung cancer.
Hint: If you are going to tell someone that NASA Climate Change and the US Navy aren’t reputable sources for climate information, don’t use discredited scientists to prove your point… because you won’t.
Time to get the coffee brewing.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
