Higher SSTs do increase the risk that any hurricane that forms will become a strong hurricane. But an overall increase in hurricane occurrence depends on more than just SSTs.

For example, if those SSTs occur in conjunction with non-conducive atmospheric conditions (higher wind shears, stronger SALs) then hurricanes could have a harder time forming resulting in lower overall occurrence. But any storms that did form would have a higher chance of becoming monsters.

Not by a long shot. I was born in the very early 70's (I like to obfuscate a bit) and had my first PC when I was 6. I ran a FIDO net BBS back in the early days before the interweb thing came around (just another fad, I assure you...). And there are many more like me. We connected quite a bit back then, wrote code in BASIC and C and had a good time in our nerd world.

Hell, I was graduating high school by the time you were born. :)

You post something publicly and somehow expect it to be a secret? Wow are some people just dumb...

No. No, they showed that Clinton would win the popular vote by 2-5% which she did. So the polls were pretty damn accurate. The Electoral College is another thing altogether and harder to predict as you essentially need to forecast 50 states plus DC accurately. This is much harder to do than get the national poll.

Please stop spreading fake news.

Well in that case how about a basic test of intelligence as well? Obviously we want to pick the best leaders, and in order to do that you need people making intelligent and well informed decisions.

The test wouldn't be hard. Just some basic math, science, etc. questions to demonstrate people aren't idiots and have a least a basic understanding of the world around them.

And...it's gone. Y'all got scammed.

"Hey, nice new car but...why do you have an iron spike driven through that dashboard screen?"

Did the price of vodka go up today? Seems there a lot of Russian trolls are around here today. Next we'll be seeing pro-confederate, pro-nazi, etc. crap under the guise of "free speech".

Trump and his group of flying monkeys have been after the press since day one. He wants to use the justice department as a cudgel against his enemies. He wants to shut down "fake news". He's filled his cabinet with unqualified corporate lackeys, and has refused to divest himself of his business interests.

It's obvious which pill you took. You swallowed the brown steaming one.

You don't get federal grand jury indictments based on "nothing", you ignorant ass.

When the first AI burger flippers are employed.

At that point, AI and automation will be at a level that will replace low income menial labor. It will be faster, cheaper, and work 24-7. It won't need health care. It won't need a 401k. It won't need maternity leave, or vacation days. Within the span of a couple of years millions will lose their jobs, with absolutely no prospects for getting a new one. How will that end I wonder?

Want to know what the businesses are going to be doing with all that lovely tax money they just got? Automation. "We're going to streamline our processes to bring the most value to the company!" Yeah, that's called automation. Increasing productivity while reducing the workforce overhead.

May you live in interesting times.
