‘Explosively developed’: Showers linger into Wednesday following Bay Area’s ‘once in every 10 year’ weather event

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:27:44 GMT

National Weather Service meteorologist Warren Blier struggled to find the words as he sat down to write the agency’s Area Forecast Discussion early Wednesday morning. Even the mightiest and most informationally equipped weather experts had the same reaction as the millions around the Bay Area could muster during the destructive, deadly and ultimately rare “bomb cyclone” that touched down in the region Tuesday afternoon.“Wow,” Blier wrote in the bulletin post published at 3 a.m. “Even by the standards of what has turned out to be one of our most extraordinary winter seasons in a very long time, yesterday (Tuesday) stands out.”While it rained throughout the Bay Area for most of Tuesday, it was the explosive and violent wind which tore down trees, toppled big rig trucks and rocked the waters with gusts upwards of 81 miles per hour, according to the NWS.“I’m a scientist. I tend to not be a fan of flamboyant adjectives,” Blier t...

Missed the “Diablo IV” beta? You have a second chance to check it out

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:27:44 GMT

“Diablo IV” held the first of two betas last week, and Blizzard’s dungeon crawler was fantastic. It has the same addictive gameplay loop as players fought hordes of worgs, skeletons and other baddies earning loot and experience points on the way.The latest entry doesn’t change a blockbuster formula, but rather, it refines and updates it. From the few hours I played as the Rogue, the world of Sanctuary seems richer, darker and more alive with elements found in massively multiplayer online games. After a brief prologue that shows players that they really can’t trust anybody, they’re thrown into an expansive world that’s filled with danger and other players.They’ll find that it’s so large that players will need mounts later in the campaign, but for now, the demo limits players to a few quests around town of Kyovashad and the region called the Fractured Planes. It also caps the level at 25. That gives the curious an opportunity to te...

You can keep car plugged in and idle at Tesla charging station, but it’ll cost you: Roadshow

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:27:44 GMT

Q: I’m probably the squillionth person to tell you that Tesla chargers have a limit … .Tesla assesses idle fees if a car is charged and left at a busy location. The idle fee is $.50/minute if the site is at 50 percent capacity or more, and $1/minute if the site is fully occupied … . By default, the station limits charging to 80 percent to speed up sessions. Most Teslas charge to 80 percent in 15-25 minutes. Not many people would sit around without charging. That is considered poor etiquette (and costly) … . There have been instances of rude Tesla drivers unplugging when charged without moving their car, and sometimes charger “vigilantes” plugged the car back in to teach the charger miscreant an idle-fee lesson.Jacqueline Mardell, Susan Hunts, Rod Whitten, Doug and Imi Blatz, Alan Arndt, Steve CrawfordA: I heard from many Tesla owners about what’s involved in charging their vehicles.Q: I have been reading your column for probably as long as y...

Prince Harry’s past drug use raises questions about US visa

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:27:44 GMT

Prince Harry continues to learn that not everyone in his adopted homeland is happy about him being here. The latest group of Americans to come after the renegade British royal is the Heritage Foundation, which is pushing to find out whether the husband of Meghan Markle admitted to his past drug use when he applied for a visa to live in the United States.The conservative think tank said it is in a battle with the U.S State Department, which is refusing to release any details about the Duke of Sussex’s visa application, the Daily Mail said. The group wants to know if Harry admitted using marijuana, cocaine and psychedelics on his application when he moved to the United States in 2020. If he failed to disclose his prior drug use, he could be accused of lying on his application, the group says. U.S. immigration law imposes harsh penalties for visitors and potential immigrants who lie to officials, including deportation and being barred from applying for citizenship.The demand to s...
