Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
speaking of weather, if you have access to a terminal*, I discovered this the other day:
curl wttr.in/<your region here>you can use lat/long, or town/city names - though obviously you’ll need to append _<country abbreviation> if there’s more than one of them in the world.
I’d happily swap a couple days of our sun for a couple days of proper rain - ideally on even numbered days so I can still take advantage of watering my veges on the odd numbered :) Its 9am here and already cracked 21C with average temps hovering around that until Monday evening.
(*if not just browse to it like normal its just slower)
That’s amazing! Also works roughly without the region by using your IP address: https://wttr.in
Ah interesting, if it can’t work out where you are it just shows the coldest permanent settlement :)
Weird! How did you test that?
Edit: or did you mean if it’s a rough location around multiple settlements, rather than what I assumed which is that it can’t find you on earth and shows you the coldest settlement on earth.
I was just trying various options /<townname> and when it it couldn’t find something it returns this location’s weather:
Weather report: Oymyakon Freezing fog _ - _ - _ - -34 °C _ - _ - _ ↓ 4 km/h _ - _ - _ - 0 km 0.0 mmWith a note:
We were unable to find your location so we have brought you to Oymyakon, one of the coldest permanently inhabited locales on the planet.Haha wow, neat! Of course it’s in Siberia 😆
