Well, we won't have any cucumbers, courgettes, or several other veggies that have names that sound completely silly as part of a sentence in English, this year, because they all froze up, then didn't have a chance to recover because the ground dried up in the heat that followed.
I suppose I'll just have to eat more steaks and chili (adding to the CO2 problem).

The English live an hour in the past; so an hour earlier.

Plants that don't like freezing temperatures should stay indoors until the Ice Saints pass - somewhere half may. After that, the rainy season starts

The end of May meets those specifications!
Twice, during May, temperatures went below zero -- but other days were too bloody hot!
It's becoming bloody intolerable. Your body needs a day or two to adapt to big temperature changes, but you barely get half an hour, now!

14th may it was 0.4 °C, where one would expect 7.9 °C. (source[^]). So yes, it may have been freezing even after the ice saints, depending on your exact location. The rule of thumb is no guarantee, but usually a good advice.

It is getting a bit weird. A few kilometers down the road a storm passed a few hours ago and was told to pick up everything outside that's not nailed down. Not a drop of rain here though.

That sounds like the weather in Oregon's Willamette valley. I successfully escaped it several years ago.

I stand correxted.
Or, rather, I lie down corrected, because the thunderstorm is over, and now it's ridiculously hot and humid.

Funny what you get used to. I just looked at what you call hot - 18 degrees. Here in Brisbane that's cold winter weather.

Exactly!
If it's hot all the time: no problem; you get used to it.
If it's cold all the time: no problem; you get used to it.
If it's rainy all the time: no problem; you get used to it.
But if it's tropical rain forest in the morning, then Alaska at lunchtime, then monsoon at tiffin, your hormonal/endocrine system can't keep up, and you feel like sh1t, all the time.

Here in Houston, we get 3 thunderstorms in a day.
And rainy season lasts 12 months every year.

Sounds like a good enough reason to eat beef and chicken instead of veggies!

I concur - totally. I think this was an actual transcript of the very last time I tried to exit VI.

I can use a lot of those for a project that I have inherited
* Horrible Hack
* It has a few Issues
* Obscure
* Bad Structure & Complex
* Out of scope
* need to rewrite it
* Legacy code (Imported from VS2010 and never upgraded and new features written in VS2017)
The above are the nicer ones that I could use

People still use vi? Nano is a lot nicer, and should be available after a standard install
[ESC]:q! btw.

Not where I work, but that's a Windows environment and we are happy with Notepad++

I haven't tried Nano, I'll have to look into it. On Windows, I usually use PSPad for plain text or vim if I need vi features. It's hard to beat vi's replacement and searching features.

Mostly funny and sort-of true, but the perl one is absolutely true.
