Still noisy!

Apparently this year we are due for a SUPER El Nino and what does that mean?  Some of the strongest wind currents will sweep across the globe and cause potential catastrophic damage.  The damage can range from massive heat waves and dryness in some areas while other areas will get mass rain and flooding.  I'm not sure when it starts of if it has started but there is like a belt across the wide-axis on the Earth that it will flow I think West to East.  In my area it is hard to tell if it will be a lot of rain or heat but one thing we have gotten recently was a heat wave and more humidity which is not normal.  The coming week also shows increased temperatures again, could be up to 100 again which will be so miserable.  But will this mean another big year of dryness when we have already been in a 20 to 30 year drought. Climate change is only getting worse and worse each year... El Nino is a reminder of that.

Weekly Update:
Ever noticed that the hum of a Tesla car is actually quite load?  My neighbors have 2 of them and one regular car, after they start the regular car, I don't really hear it but then while the Tesla's are sitting idle, they keep humming and it's kind of annoying.  I wonder if that is similar to like the white noise from electronics that after a period of time, kind of gets to you.  I just want them to turn off their car if they aren't going anywhere, why keep it going?  Doesn't that use up some kind of power even if idle?  In doing some surface research I guess this is a thing as they sell noise kits or mention ways to reverse the sound so they know they are noisy?  So they do not add to regular pollution but just general noise pollution, that still can't be good for something, right?  I wonder if it affects things like animals and maybe babies with developing senses.  There has to be a study out there for it but yeah, turn off the car till you are going to leave especially in your own drive-way.  I don't believe these cars need to "warm-up" the engine and even if they do, we are in Southern California!  It's not that cold!

At the movies:
Big shake up at the box office this weekend!  New but not-so-new at #1 is Avengers: Endgame Encore for 26 million as it sets up for the new Marvel film later this year which will no doubt be huge.  This 26 mil is all profit since next to no marketing was needed. Drop down to #2 is Resident Evil with 23 mil as it breaks the 100 mil mark.  New at #3 is Heart of the Beast with 20 mil and good word-of-mouth so may carry it further. New at #4 is Primetime which has mediocre responses and unsure how far this will go. New and rounding off the top 5 is Forgotten Island with 12.8 mil and may drop out fairly quickly.
