    what he writes is impossible to do (run intel code on ARM), so we gave him the possible and easy

    you're confused, this fights bloat on disk by letting kernel image be half the size and loading twice as fast (uncompression time is negligible, less than tenth of a second on a typical desktop)

    it of course has many other uses but you can read the article to find out

    invalid assumption that same thermometer even used at a station over the decades (with the huge gaps of years), and the time of measurement not known "morning" "noon" "evening"

    bad assumption the same thermometer used for decades at a station, there are gaps of years and sometimes more than decade per station

    you are silly thinking "statistics and physics" can overcome that

    you are the one who has failed stats 101 with your assumptions
    . look at the real data from say the US stations for 19th century the same thermometer wasn't used at a station, and there are gaps of years and sometime decades in records. Time of measurement wasn't even precise ("morning", "noon", "evening")

      statistics become meaninlessl, but you show what the problem is

    most of the thousands upon thousands of climate models are discarded. trivial to cherry pick one that matches past events, that's called "cooking the books". Note the models and approved from ten years ago have been proven to be complete rubbish. we can't model climate, we've proven that. And the IPCC has been backpedalling on its dire predictions with every report to the UN in the last 15 years

    sure, but that's hardly a decent grid. Have you seen the records from that time for USA and UK, they are online. Time of temperature taking sometimes just "morning, noon, evening", gaps of years or even decade at station....most the data is thrown own, small percentage used

    no, those spirit and mercury filled thermometers not accurate at all, even if you spent hundreds of dollars on one now it would come with "calibration sheet" graph that would tell you the amount to subtract or add for each reading. those go to tenths of a degree plus or minus.
