Get daily weather forecasts

May 28, 2024 at 14:45

I enjoy my procrastination days, typically falling on Mondays and Fridays. However, with Memorial Day off, this week’s laziness extends to Tuesday as well. These are the days when things actually get done: cleaning the house, doing the dishes, and scripting various projects to pass the time. It’s amazing how productive one can be when avoiding paycheck-based work.

The weather section on my kid’s bedtime points page needed fixing, and I’m always looking for ways to move away from commercial products with more independent solutions.

The key below is not mine, but from their own page. Feel free to use it. ¯\(ツ)/¯
