Last weeks thread here

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 _ 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 / 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 mm

With 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.
