hey that seems like a pretty straightforward option

wonder why it's not more popular

that's cool. yea i was hoping for something like that. i guess it's hard to avoid commodification of meteorological reports since they rely on a bunch of individual stations sharing data... so once that gets snatched up by some capitalist power what are you gonna do, go make your own weather station?

or maybe not, i have literally no idea how this works. i assume people only know things by asking the local places. i guess they can tell me the weather on antarctica or the moon with a good enough satellite. (uh, well i guess that'd just be "cold," and "none")

Whoa, that looks like one hell of an app.

Given the depth of information covered there is a steep learning curve if you seek to use the program in it's entirety, help information is available and touched on below.

How well versed are you in meteorology? I'm a layman but I'm definitely interested in it enough that I'd prefer to get my reports from something other than "the weather rock" 🤣

lol what's this from

 

it seems like lemmy has a thing for fireflies (aka lightning bugs). It's sad to think of them being driven away by our actions, or not even just us not being able to see them again.

Well my yard/neighborhood is covered in them. Literally hundreds dancing in the grass of every yard, every evening and night. Like they cast light into my home with their blinking by my windows, making me look for a coming car or something. At least one gets into my home every day, much to the delight of my cats.

I get it. I love them. These things have always been special to me, and I spent 10+ yrs living in places w/o them. So now being in an area with a healthy Fire Fly population feels like such a blessing to me.

I figured it'd be cool to share some of that with those of you who miss them. I'm trying to take some pictures and video, get some good closeups, etc. I got one video of two fireflies fucking. Just gotta figure out how to organize the media I guess.

But is there anything else you'd want? Requests or something? I dunno where this is going, look, I'm just saying: you all seem to like Fire Flies. I got Fire Flies. What's next?

 

Weather dotcom has premium gatekeeping and Accuweather just kinda sucks

EDIT: i just remembered not everyone is ND and doesn't get really super into every topic enough to care about things like meteorology :[

but he's the only one on the news! and maybe he's fucked himself by increasing his competition, but... nah, sounds like a win either way

the simpsons didnt invent the concept of "lite" lol even the spelling can be found as early as the 1960s.

and the question probably wasnt "what does lite mean?"... theyre asking "how tf do you do a 'lite' genocide?"

Well I'm not sure about what programs they have for prisoners but Florida is pretty much the Rehab Capital of the USA. It's got rehabs on every corner, I think possibly the highest number in the nation?

Methadone clinic is definitely NOT what we'd wanna be sending someone to... need an in-patient facility. But like I said those are a dime a dozen in FL.

Magas hate freedom

sad. when you're hooked on opiates, nothing else matters. every day is devoted to finding a way to feel normal again. to get just enough money to get a bag, to find a place to use, to just stay afloat.

everything mentioned in the arrest, everything about the fucked up car, the license plate, the erratic driving, the hiding things inside her, everything -- it all can wait. she's just trying to get through the day and keep the shakes away.

i hope they give her subs in jail. and i hope florida has some sort of door-to-door program so she can detox in a medical facility instead of a jail. it's fucking insane that addiction is a crime.

Attributing modern concepts of borders to Westphalia is a Eurocentric worldview. What, you don't think they had the concept of statehood and sovereignty in Asia for at least a few thousand years prior to this?
