Apparently I saw a VERY rate meteorological event today. Weather was warm. Big rain storm that lasted 30-45 minutes. During that storm there was disk-shaped hail and a lot of it. I’m 64 and have never seen anything like it. No photo grrrrr but others saw it.

Birmingham. We can get some pretty dramatic weather because of where we are and the way fronts move from southwest to northeast. Sometimes a competing system is moving northwest to southeast. Those recent crazy strong tornadoes is MS TN and KY are what happens when the fronts collide. The one that caused this weird hail didn’t seem special. A pretty typical intense short thunderstorm with strong winds coming from the SW. Some sort of bizarre circulation in the clouds made that disk hail. ChatGPT almost didn’t believe me but offered this explanation;

Possible Explanations for the Disk Shape
1. Laminar Accretion under Turbulent Rotation
If a small ice nucleus is spinning while suspended in an updraft, water can freeze more rapidly on the edges than on the faces, slowly forming a disk or lens.
2. Weak Updraft with Strong Lateral Shear
May result in limited vertical bouncing (which normally rounds hail) but more lateral tumbling, leading to flattened or saucer-like growth.
3. Melt Sculpting in Warm Air
While falling through the warm layer (80°F), slower-melting centers and faster-melting edges might have accentuated a flat shape, especially for small, dense hail.

Serious question from a happy software engineer, what do you all love about your work/actually enjoy doing during working hours?

I'll start; I'm privileged enough to have been given the opportunity to work and learn deeply on Linux and Kubernetes, and I get to tinker and play with them all day. Problem solving with them is a "fun" part of my job.

Of course most things aren't roses and sunshine, but I'd love to hear the positive parts of what you are doing, or what you like to do at work.

Hi All. What is the best way to allocate 25 Lakh INR in savings into different investments to maximize returns. I recently moved out of India so Tax rebate is not a consideration for me. I already have 6 lakh plus invested in PF and MFs but I want to invest more as my money is getting depreciated in the savings bank account.

I also have an education loan with balance of 7 lakhs which I am planning to repay in lumpsum as there is no tax exemption now.

I ended up eating dinner in bed by myself and getting brunch on my own.

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
