No, barometers only measure atmospheric pressure, which varies constantly depending upon the weather.

in order to get mslp from station pressure you'd have to know the altitude anyway, so it's definately from surveys

You phone probably has a barometer in it with precision of ten pascals, sufficient to register the chagne between the surface of your desk and the floor.

I don't think the top sign on that pole is 52 years old.

Of course that poles 52 years old, and it will last centuries more.

They just really knew how to put in a pole deep to last back then. :colbert:

Capitalism.

More workers outside can serve more cars faster. The Chick Fil As in my city are all upgrading to double wide drive thrus so teens can walk around taking iPad orders until they get heat stroke or run over.

They use humans with tablets to move up and down the line to take orders and payment and other humans with wheely carts to move up and down the line to deliver orders so that the speakerbox and window cease to be bottlenecks and orders can be served in non-linear fashion as soon as they're ready.

There was a big noise in the press a few months ago when the manager of one near here applied their methods to unfuck logistics at a vaccination site across the street.
