Tornadoes are definitely way worse in the US, but trailer parks are absolutely going to get hammered way more than typical Western European style construction. Unless they hit in the summer, in which case I guess since half of the Netherlands and a quarter of Germans is living in a RV, in which case it would be equally bad. Are tornadoes seasonal like hurricanes?

A Buttery Pastry posted:Americans don't look to Europe, or anywhere else, really, for dealing with any other of their particular problems. Why would they do it for their buildings? They kinda do though. American culture is baseball, apple pie, and bemoaning that nobody understands how simple it would be to just turn the entire United States into Sevilla after spending an impressive entire semester abroad. Then hitting up the nearest spanish restaurant to explain to the basque chef that the food is totally inauthentic.

Oh good I even found a map for it:  The graph to the left, which is hard to read, is It looks like it's maybe not totally clear whether tornadoes are indeed changing their seasonality and frequency somewhat, as the measured data suggest, or if it's more that reporting and radar are much better now than they were in the 1950s-70s so it's more of a reporting effect than meteorological effect. Or at least that's what I can tell after reading two papers. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212094717300956 and https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2015GL063968

You are really obsessed with the hypothetical legions of Americans who never shut up about Europe. It's not that much of a thing outside of upper middle class center-left 20-40 somethings.

It definitely is really obnoxious when one dude repeatedly goes off about how smart he is compared to everybody else, how big groups of people are dumb, and how only he can see the inherent system problems at play. Especially when they try and crowbar their pet topic into unrelated conversations.

Yeah it’s not like this is demographic data where the country in question is in such a bad state the central government has collapsed and there’s no one to manage a census. This is just going on r/Uruguay and asking“Yo what day does the week start?”

I wonder how many broken reports I sent off to main office before I noticed the default calculation of week numbers in Excel is wrong and not used in the civilised world. Now I'm thinking: do I have any reports that use the number of the day in a week and if so, how hosed up are they?

The UAE just this month announced its moving from the more traditional Islamic Sunday->Thursday week to a Monday->Friday work week. But with a half day on Fridays so that it doesn't run through prayer time: https://www.npr.org/2021/12/08/1062435944/uae-work-week-change-saturday-sunday-weekends-global-markets Its probably a sign of things to come in coming years for the rest of the Islamic world.
