Three weather services with three different forecasts. We got a little bit rained on, so at least some of them were not completely wrong. The timing was off by an hour, though. And nobody expected the Spanish inqui^W^Wthunder either. It was a nice walk.

Oh cool, as I type this, lighning and thunder very close by now. At most a kilometer away. Glad I’m home and not in the woods anymore. And heavy rain kicks in, too.

Why is it that I hate packing so badly? I gotta have to brace myself up to start that now.

The outlook is poor, rain all the way until maybe the last day of summer camp. Definitely bringing my gummies, they are well needed, the weather report announces several days with up to 14 liters per square meter.

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I REPLIED TO THIS AND NOW IT’S NOT SHOWING WTFFFF anyway what i said was that i have some fun stuff in the daily note template already like ASCII weather forecast from wttr AND a jenny holzer quote from fortune!!! i should add more fun stuff!!!

We covered quite some ground in the two and a half hours today. The weather was nice, mostly cloudy and just 23°C. That’s also why we decided to take a longer tour. We saw four deer in the wild, three of which I managed to just ban on film, quality could be better, though. My camera produced a hell lot of defocused photos this time. Not sure what’s going on with the autofocus. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-07-10/

When the sun came out, colors were just beautiful:

@prologic@twtxt.net Bah! Why can’t we all have mild weather. 🥲

New bike season
Yesterday, I started my new bike season and took my bike for a fun ride of about 25 km. I rode the first part of the “Städtepartnerschaftsradweg Braunschweig - Magdeburg” (City partnership cycle path Braunschweig - Magdeburg) between my hometown and a village called Königslutter. The weather was perfect and I truly enjoyed it. For the way back, I took the train that I reached just in time. ⌘ Read more

10 Hilarious Excuses Firms Once Gave to Cover Up Their Bad Deeds
Big corporations often hire expensive PR firms, crisis managers, and legal teams to clean up their messes. But sometimes, the excuses they cook up are so laughably bad they only make things worse. Whether it’s blaming hackers, the weather, or even the consumers themselves, these companies tried to dodge accountability in the most ridiculous ways […]

10 Ways Your Brain Actually Changes in Warmer Weather
As spring and summer near, the world outside transforms—but so does your brain. Warmer weather and longer days bring real, measurable shifts in mood, cognition, hormones, and even decision making. You’re not just feeling different… you are different. Neuroscientists have found that sunlight, temperature, and seasonal cues can alter everything from memory and sleep patterns […]

Blocking AI bots ⛔
Every few months, I inevitably catch a cold or some other virus and end up stuck at home for a few days. Right now, I’m in one of those phases again. Thankfully, this time hasn’t been too bad, and I’m already on the mend. After a lot of Netflix marathons, I realized I couldn’t just sit around doing nothing – I’m the kind of person who needs to feel productive, even when I’m under the weather. ⌘ Read more

just one of those ones you never want to stop. it was dark, quiet, and lonely which just let me zone out with the cool weather and maintain what felt easy. didn’t look at the watch until the end when it notified me it was going to die. adjusted the mileage and time to reflect.

typical 5km easy then 5km comfortable-uncomfortable followed by another 5km easy. local weather and signs said it was around 48F, very low humidity (the sweat salt stains prove that bit), and just a really nice day out with a breeze. stopped the run after the planned session to get some extra walking in for a stupid garmin challenge.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This outage did affect me, though not much, via the university where my wife teaches and where I teach sometimes. They actually sent out an alert in their emergency alert system (the one they use to alert people of extreme weather events and bomb threats, mostly), telling people that all IT systems were down.

A friend of mine elsewhere pointed out that they pushed this change on a Friday, which of course no software developer with any experience would ever, ever, ever do. I have to assume there’s some toxic management at CrowdStrike, but who knows. Even more reasons to sympathize with the poor folks who are probably going to be working nights and weekends to clean up this mess.

@prologic@twtxt.net I feel like my kid is a better weather predictor than most weather sites. He freaks out whenever the pressure drops and we know a storm is coming 😆

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci predicting weather is literally a step up from the 3 body problem into n-body chaos. AI is just statistics pushed up into chaos. The future of computing is indistinguishable from magical incantations

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net no it can’t. Your blurb is literally “if we had data we can’t have, we could predict weather better”. DeepMind is irrelevant in that statement–anyone could.

still host and humid (no surprise) but more cloud cover today. no kids but beth came and was able to cheer me on in a couple of places which was fun. the last bit she yelled “five to go!” which kind of got in my head a bit, albeit i think the heat started to get to me as well. had to take a couple of brief walks just to recollect and focus again. pretty good training run. keeping it in the green for the most part and around marathon pace. can’t wait to see how cooler weather and more training will pay off!
