It used to be that English weather (I'm in NL, so I get English weather either an hour earlier or later) would be a little bit warm, then showers, then a little bit warm, then cloudy, then a bit cold, etc. in spans of as long as a couple of days or as short as 20 minutes.
Now, we're getting blisteringly hot, then freezing cold (the missus is really unhappy about how her Chinese veg keeps getting killed by unexpected sub-zero temperatures), then torrential rain, then too bloody hot again, and now the third thunderstorm in the last five weeks.
If this is global warming, you can f***ing keep it! I want the "cold" world back!

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
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

People still use vi? Nano is a lot nicer, and should be available after a standard install
