Coothin burst into Human Sara's quarters, smacking the light tapper with xis upper left arm as soon as xe entered. "Human Sara! I know you enjoy seeing the new aliens and you are missing this arrival! The other humans are very exci--" "nnnhhggg shhh. Shhh." Human Sara remained in her sleeping-bay, arm pulled over her eyes. "No time for one of your 'naps'!" Xe reached out and tugged gently on Human Sara's arm with two of xis. "The other humans say they look like a cross between 'faeries' and 'jellyfish' and you must see them and also show me photos of those creatures!" Human Sara pulled herself to the edge of the sleeping bay and -- Coothin leapt backward as the human's stomach acid erupted onto the floor. Xe slammed the emergency button on xis communicator. It wasn't xis medical emergency button (unless xe had been splashed and it was even now burning through xis coverings), but xe couldn't reach Human Sara to press hers. The emergency system located xim and started blaring nearby alarms. Human Sara was keening now, an angry, pained moan as she curled into a a ball and clutched her pillow around her head.

Medics arrived equipped for the wrong species, and started to call for other supplies, when another human-who-hadn't-gone-to-the-new-species-docking came out of his room, squinting and covering his mouth like he, too, might eject acid. "Turn it off. Turn it OFF!" he demanded. The medics were already here, and disobeying an angry and insistent human seemed unwise. The alarms were turned off. The human slumped sweatily against his door frame. Those with acute hearing, if they hadn't been deafened by the alarms, could hear groans from elsewhere in the warren of human housing. "A bunch of us have migraines. Please fuck off. quietly. quietly fuck off," he mumbled, having apparently spent himself with his brief shouts. "What caused this? Do we need to quarantine the human sector??" It wouldn't be the first time. New rules had to keep being added about things the humans had to be screened for when returning from planetside.

"mi'en dlar kweshen." Coothin's translator could not parse the human's slurring and transmitted it directly, but the medics had more powerful systems for this sort of scenario. "no kwarteen. debrief la'er. Shhh..." He faded, staggering back into his quarters. ... A handful of medics-of-various-species and a handful of humans who had recovered first sat (or equivalent-ed) around a table. The humans did most of the talking among themselves. "Is there something we all ate?" "I didn't eat breakfast, I woke up too late for [religious seasonal meal, details sent to handheld]," said a woman whose garment extended over the top of her head. A strongly built human rolled his eyes. "Well I didn't eat dinner." He sat up straight, smug. "Intermittent fasting, you know." Several of the other humans rolled their eyes. "Okay, not food. Stress? I know me and Sara are doing some high-stress work, is everyone else's stuff going off the rails?" The alien medics looked at each other. What rails?

But the humans shook their heads. "Hormones? ...Ladies, at least?" More head-shaking. "Any changes to the cleaning chemicals?" They turned to the medics, who were not in charge of the cleaning robots but did have access to which chemicals were being used where. The medics answered in the negative.

"Everyone good on water? Though I dunno why we'd all get dehydrated at once. No atmospheric water emergencies, right?"

Again, something the medics kept track of. Or would find out about quickly as sick crewmates turned up. "No, atmospheric humidity constant. Well, up a little, in some sectors, for the Dre'mls, the new ones? They require higher humidity and less pressure so maintenance spent most of the day running reclaimers on null gasses, the ones that no-one breathes, so needs are still met but the percentages are all --"

"Wait, wait wait wait" -- humans were talking over eachother and the one with the garment banged her palm on the table to shush everyone. "There's been a drop in atmospheric pressure? Over some hours?"

None of the medic species liked the way the humans all had their eyes trained on them. "...yes? The Dre'mls are delicate--"

The humans tossed up their hands, some of them shouting. "Next time just vent it, oh my [human deity]. The sudden drop will make us all miserable for a few minutes, but we handle that going on and off planetside all the time. Don't drop it over HOURS; that means a storm is coming and it'll knock a bunch of us on our ass."

"... oh. That is... unique. It's rare for a species to sense it at all, if it's within survival parameters. If we encounter a species that requires higher pressure, should we --" "I think it matters less, but err on the side of caution and do it fast, yes."

"We will report this to maintenance and add it to the human files. Thank you all for your time; you may go." And it was added to the human files, under "health risks", that causing a fast pressure drop would cause widespread brief pain, but a slow pressure drop would cause concentrated, disabling pain for hours or days. It was also put under the secret "Arguments that species is secretly/unwittingly a hive mind despite denials" file.

Three tropical cyclones and a heat dome: visualizing highs and lows in the middle of the troposphere

by u/Mathew_Barlow

data source:  GFS, from NOMADS server; visualization: ParaView

data link: https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/dods/gfs_0p25

The figure shows the height of the 500 hPa pressure surface for 6 UTC 7 Sep 2022, showing highs and lows in the middle of the troposphere both in terms of color shading and 3D displacement of the surface. The three tropical cyclones show up as low values (blues) and the “heat dome” — the high pressures associated with the historic heatwave over the western US — shows up as high values (reds).

Weather maps typically show areas of high and low pressure at sea level but these features occur at all levels, and some are seen more clearly at higher levels in the atmosphere. For an introduction to looking at the atmosphere at higher levels, please see

I wish I could just love the rain.

Thunderstorms, downpours, rainy days. How I wish I didn't have joints that feared them. ☔⛈

With the Helios Star System, what does it exactly mean by 'Everything to do with astrophysics'?

By that I mean everything I have calculated about the planets and stars of the Helios System, from a physics (this branch being called astrophysics) angle.

All the things I’ve calculated for all are:

Radii/Diameters

Luminosity of the star aka Helios

Hill Sphere (the closest an object can orbit without being pulled in by the larger objects gravitational pull)

Mass

Gravity

Average surface temperature + Core temperature of Helios

Orbit radius (distance from star)

Orbital period (length of year)

Orbital speed (how fast it moves along its orbit)

Bond Albedo (how much light is reflected by the surface)

Average density of the planets

Water % on surface (for most)

Surface Area & Atmospheric Pressure for half

So most of the sciency stuff to do with the Helios system I’ve got covered.

When it comes to more people oriented and culture stuff, the countries that exist there I’ve got pretty much nothing- so that’s what I mean by ‘everything to do with astrophysics.’

I keep having these days where I don't know why I'm in such a choppy mood. I sit around feeling anxious and restless, stewing in malaise and reasoning with myself that I have no reason to be feeling that way, I'm making great progress, etc etc.

The bad mood remains. I feel the lizard brain whining, the inner child throwing a tantrum, and it slowly begins to dawn on me that my ears hurt a bit.

Ear pain is one of the great equalizers. It's up there with barking your shins for being so universally, uselessly miserable that the toughest buck in the cowboy club would be pardoned for crying over it.

But I don't realize it, until I have gone through tangible hours of trying to treat myself psychologically and finally listen to the tantrum and lie down horizontally that I realize not only are my ears not just "hurting a bit" but are full-blown aching--and what's more, so is my entire skull, my neck, the socket of my bad eye, because what's actually got my system out of whack is barometric sinusitis, and buddy, that is a Legitimate Hell of a Thing.

I'm not asking for pity or headpats. I am trying to understand how it is that I block out pain so hard. I know that autism is part of it, but I don't know if that's the hypersensitivity or having had to develop pain blocking *because* of the hypersensitivity.

It is so troubling to me, looking back over my past, how many times legitimate health issues flew under the radar because I didn't have the language to communicate what was happening. Children, and not just autistic children, live raw lives without knowledge of what's happening to them or methodology to translate that to adults. It's a harrowing thing to realize.

Anyway I did lie down and my ears went brrrrrr and I'm feeling my sinuses decongest, which is one of the great equalizers in the other direction. The preacher at Fundie School, a thoroughly deplorable man, once wandered on one of his tangents through the sheer bliss of your nose clearing near the end of a bad cold, of snuffling in novelty of fresh, cool air, and in that, I have to agree with him.

Equalizers and counterbalances. I dunno. Sometimes I write words.

Love and peace, Vash the Stampede style, to everyone struggling with barometric issues right now <3 It's a hell of a storm, and it's okay if your head hurt and it sucks, we can all be whiny bastards together o7

#Shit involving me #barometric pressure #atmospheric pressure #Musings #Cold meds and naproxen are fine #But could I please remove my skull and just like #Wring it out generally #Could really go for that rn #He's all good folks it's OK #excuse me sirs i am an autist #Bits and pieces of childhood

[issela-santina]

ok so today I learnt thanks to a @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses screenshoot that atmospheric pressure is a moody bastard trying to literally crush us

most of the knowledge I have on it prior to today was pretty basic, just mostly weather reportage when clear skies meant higher pressure while low pressure meant inclement weather (which we have like an alphabet of names to give one when it turns into a full-blown typhoon)

then does that mean—

Pepa Madrigal grins widely, waves her fingers, and wishes for clear skies, pressuring herself to dissipate the dense cloud above her head.

I'm sorry if this got poetic

Crash Bandicoot 4: The Wrath of Cortex - Atmospheric Pressure:

“Fourth boss fight in the game, and it’s possibly my favorite one... and I don’t even like it that much. Most boss fights in this game are either frustrating, or mediocre at best. This one has a cool concept, but some of the attacks are quite hard to dodge.”

PS: the gameplay used for this gifset is not mine. The original video belongs to the user: Dingo Crash, on Youtube.

Stormbreak

My scalp is knotted together. My hair swings freely, a sheet of silk freshly untangled. It doesn't change the oppressive pressure bearing down on my brow, the air pressing in on me and stifling my lungs. I can barely breathe, each movement is carefully chosen to cause the least pain, draw the least attention, to not further the silent conflict that haunts my home. The tension in my body, in the sky, grows and grows until finally like an egg cracking water begins to fall. My soul cracks too. It begins to rain in earnest, and under the cover of thick gentle dark clouds my heart rains. I cannot make myself remain in this cage a moment longer. The ground shifts below my feet and suddenly I am outside, rain caressing my face alongside my tears. As the muscles around my skull release I can feel the rest of the world crash in. I am no longer alone, standing by myself in the rain.

At first, this seems odd, because hydrogen is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

atmospheric pressure has been quite low, ~ 1008HPa so i got ungodly sleepy and feeling like I wanna do nothing, my body is heavy and head full of cotton...
