#Weather apps

For the weather app thing, I have some suggestions. Governments, not private services, are responsible for gathering and interpreting weather data including projections and radar. This information is freely available to the public, which is why every news channel, newspaper and app can run weather info.

If you're Canadian, the government itself runs an app called WeatherCanada which gives you this information directly with no cost to install, in-app purchases or ads. It actually runs really well and gives the most current information (updated every ten mins) and directly gives the government's weather warnings in notifications as they occur and end. I use it exclusively, and I really, really like it. They also give fun weather facts and explain phenomena in easy to understand explanations. It looks like this on Google Play:

If you're American, your weather agency is called NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). They don't have an app, but they do have a free, ad-less site that works well on mobile. The link I'm supplying here will open on New York City, but you can search your own location and just bookmark that. It's a bare-bones and kinda ugly site, but it's readable, functional, loads fast and has all of NOAA's weather info available for you - including long term forecasts, maps, radar, and weather warnings.

Raining in my app

Apologies to Huddy Brolly

I should go out

To buy some bread

But there’s a problem

In my head

Cos it’s raining

Raining in my app

My window says

The weather’s fine

There’s washing hanging

On next door’s line

But it’s raining

Raining in my app

Oh mystery, mystery

How can I trust what I see

I tell myself

I won’t get wet

The sun is shining

It’s safe and yet

It’s raining

Raining in my app

I open twitter. I see a vegan leftist arguing that we shouldn't bother masking around terminally ill people because they're going to die soon anyway. I attempt to nuke Elon Musk with my mind. I close twitter.

Using Celsius while talking about US weather

He Xuan: There’s a storm coming. Be careful. Shen Jiu: I am the storm. He Xuan: You’re also allergic to cold wind and get grumpy when wet. Shen Jiu: Blocked

I'm bored, so it's time for temperature scale discourse. I have developed, thanks to three generations of scientific inquiry, the perfect and most correctest opinion on the topic which is this:

People have a pretty good intuition for the one they're raised with and can also be trained to have good intuition for other systems. The first and foremost thing people have an intuitive understanding for is if it's hot or cold or somewhere in between, they learn that significantly before they even know what a number is.

Especially with some practice, people can get a very good intuitive sense of linear scales, so if you then attach those two feelings to *any* numbers, tell people it represents hot and cold, and then give them practice with it, say by having them grow up in a society that constantly uses the specific numbers, they'll get a pretty good intuition for what the numbers translate to, temperature feeling-wise.

So really, there's not an objectively better system between C and F, it's just a question of which you're used to and if you wanted to spend a few years using the other you'd be used to that one enough to have about as good an intuition as you do for the one you're used to now.

Also Kelvin is the objectively best temperature unit system.

I have Stolitz balcony dance scene fanart as my phone background, and one of my students (5yo) saw it and asked "who is she?"

Sweetie, 'she' is the most beautiful baby girl I know. Also. Which middle-aged, sad, gay demon man are you talking about?

[luccacaca]

Chilling with Tamon on his phone like why in the hell does this guy have 6h of screentime on his weather app..

[ghostsandmirrors]

This is the last time I'll complain but this weather is disgusting. I want a storm. I want snow. What the fuck was I born in the UK for if not to be cold at all times?!

Scam.
