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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"seems to be".
How often have you seen people using it?

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.

Many years ago, before the advent of IDEs, I was working on a DOS based system that used a 3GL called Dataflex and had obtained a text editor called MultiEdit, which was a huge improvement over coding using Notepad.
One of my colleagues, who from time to time had to use the UNIX version of the 3GL, saw this and was mightily impressed. "It would be great to be able to use the same editor for DOS and UNIX development - can you get MultiEdit for UNIX?"
"No" I replied, "but I can get you vi for DOS!" He used foul language to me at that point and walked away.
