LDD

What's your point??? You want me to push the button? F-dude...go back to St. Pete. How can Two Bills let Russian props on here to do this crap 24-7?? This guy is human waste.

Right, sarcasm...my point is that it's not just data, it is also the data collection instruments. If we JUST took numbers to maintain data collection instruments it would be in the thousands...getting to instruments, tracking, recording and understanding, applying etc...I don't want to fight about NOAA...I just want to express that NOAA is important and has been important in not only my life but also my career. I want to know absolutely as much as possible about the world around me.

You're correct man, I should not have said anything. Maybe you should track down all the contracted boats with NOAA grant crews and scientists. I stand humbled.

What *****? The truth?....mmmmm....comrade

hahahhahaa...good lord...fukt patriot...YOU are a RUSSIAN. Let me be clear that I have no issues with the Russian people unhindered and in their homes. I have issues with the #######. Who will start WWIII?? Who will start it? Or, who will use the threat of it as a weapon?? You are a Russian Troll..go back and hide. That is what this is. America will abide.

They know this. There are Russians on this board. That's all. There is clarity in reality and the Oval Office the other day was reality.

Got it...do what I told you to do initially and Google how much coastline the US has including AK, HI, Guam, PR etc...then, look at the buoy data JUST for that. Then, extend that coastline out at least 100 mi and in some cases much more. Then, add support for all those buoys (by support I mean actual ships with crews and air crews and support). Then, think about that's just water, waves and storms in oceans and lakes and boat and planes. Now, think about land. Yeah, maybe 1000 people can help you think about WTF that entails.

oh boy, I can't answer you question because its premise is FUKT...i guess I would tell you that insurance companies would have ZERO data about any natural disaster without NOAA. Why don't you name me an insurance company or any other private entity with an offshore buoy, ship, plane, satellite (I know...Elon) or cumulative website that provides the WORLD and your NATION with actionable information that is UNBIASED, SPECIFIC and REAL.

Welp, I did watch it, then I posted...my post was based upon the content which I only found murky and strange. Secondly, I'm commenting based on your Avatar which connects to your Alma Mater. That's what I'm most curious about based on your history of posting here. It's a great school, they have an excellent school of Journalism and you're not random or unmeasured. You are consistent but clearly one-sided and mostly aloof. It is really confounding why you post utter bullcrap on a continual basis and don't give your opinion based on the bullcrap you post. It's a good approach for a message board if you want to be the way you are. I don't get it.

Honestly, what is your problem? Why would you post complete crap like this? What does it prove?

Didn't "like" it?? Good for you. "Rebuked them..." What? We sent billions in military aide, weapons, and expertise. Ukraine will "cut their own losses". WTF?? These people are determining their existence on the PLANET not deciding what vacation to take next year. Not a "good look"...I'll forget you put it that way. Nukes?? If Russia can hold up "this will end in a nuclear conflict" to EVERY conflict they create then we'll ALL be in subjeciton. That's pretty good...I like it. No, public, I serve the PUBLIC in Canada and the US....

Considring that you can't have an original idea here so you have to continually post BS from the interwebs , let's talk about your premise. Your premise is that Ukraine is fighting a war...the US is supporitng that war...if someone supports THAT SUPPORT they are irrelevant unless they go to Ukraine and sign up for the infantry?? Is that correct? Is that what I'm to gather here? So, If I'm pro-life I should not only offer to deliver babies in the ghetto I should raise them, right? If I'm for "drill baby drill" I should hire some drill rig to put a hole in my back yard regardless of whether there's anything there?? Is that the standard for support?? Yeah, that sounds DUMB right? Or, it sounds ike Russian propoganda? Are you an American citzen or just an indoctrinated one??

😅😀😄...holy $*****...you actually posted this based on the Ukraine/Russian war??? This is some funny crap because any, ANY mention of pro-war or anti-war certainly reflects the intentions of the opposite side. So, if you're against the Ukranians defending themselves you MUST certainly be FOR the Russian Rape War against Ukraine! Who is "pro- war" if they aren't Russian? Holy F dude, you get that, right? Russia invaded Ukraine, they're ONLY at war because of that. Anyone "pro-War" must be a Russian, cause that's who's conducting the war. There is certainly a DEFENSE going on. Ukraine is DEFENDING their country and their PEOPLE!.

Okey dokey...good talk JD.

I take it back. My bad, you're right. You might not be a "Russian apologist". What is your position on the current criminal Russian aggression against a peaceful country? Also, what is your position against the criminal Russian aggression that seeks to not only fornicate, rape, own, and subject Ukranian women and children to the whims of the invading power? (I'll wait...) "I serve the US"...really, you think I'm dumb enough to answer that question on this board??

Hahahha, read my other post to JD who played the same sad card. If this board is anything, it's good for the same ol crap. Of course you were going to lay that one on me. I serve the US. I pay taxes. I have an opinion. You're a Russian apologist and a pu$$y. Life is a tough deal. Have fun with the new, orange, eZ waaayyy.

Hahahaha...you're ramping up to the part where you tell me to go join the Ukranians...right?? Dude, I've read the entire thread and I know the "game" here. You're an apologist that is incapable of discussing actual issues. Moreover, you don't care about the lives at stake. Apparently, you're much more concerned about "being right in defense of MAGA".

Ukraine lovers want Ukraine to make decisions about their own country. We can choose to help or not, that's it. The world can choose to help or not. If we don't help there will be plenty of "gore-porn" of Ukrainians getting defiled by Russian conscripts, officers and eventually Oligarchs. They've already stolen thousands of children to re-educate and raped and killed thousands of women. The men can fight as long as we support them. Would you rather fight and die or live and watch every woman and child in your life become a slave of the country that attacked yours?

Um, that wasn't rage and you could have replaced two letters and not been a prick...but, oh well. Not sure what you're getting at. You're a Russian. That's all. This is becoming a clear time thanks to Donald.

Correct, I'm upset.

Sure, f-in sure...a negotiated peace with some actual "N-E-G-O-T-I-A-T-I-O-N"...sure...good idea. I think that's possibly why the president of a small country brutally attacked by on the the top world powers was there...

Did you really just say that?? Maybe unless you're the f-in president of the country??!! Consider that...

This is a joke correct? Why don't you look up what NOAA does. Start by looking up how much of America is coastline, that will help you understand the implications in steamy Orlando. I really don't know how you do this all day with these people. The ignorance is astounding.

You're arguing with Russian apologists at best and BOTS and Russian propagandists at the worst. Just know that.

NOAA plays a massive role in the maritime industry, not only with forecasting but also with buoy data which is extremely useful information for mariners.
