"text": "Simple Location version 4.2.0 has been released. In edition to several under the hood improvements, such as standardizing units of measurement for the various weather providers and adding new optional parameters, it introduces the option of a custom and a fallback weather provider. The custom provider allows you to specify custom stations at designated URLs. The stations should return a json object with latitude and longitude as well as any provided weather properties as identified in the system. I\u2019d love it if people implemented this simple json file and allowed others to pull weather data from them.\nI built this feature for myself. Using my own weather data when possible has been a desire of mine. Now, my website is set to compare my location to that of the custom stations I\u2019ve designated, in this case two under my control. If I am close, it will use that data. If not, it will go to the fallback provider. The same fallback can be set for regional providers, like the US National Weather service and the Met Office, in case you wander into untracked territory.\nThe functionality also works for the weather in my sidebar, where you\u2019ll see additional parameters such as the readings from my particulate sensors and any sensors I add in the future.",

Umm, kinda think since we're in the middle of a freaking global pandemic and social lockdowns and rain/snow, the worst thing that can happen is *not* kids using cell phones too much?!
Parents: chill. 🙂 You can set up all the good ScreenTime habits again next year.

When others level up, it doesn't mean you're declining. Unless, of course, you implement racist, antiscience, America-first policies that actually CAUSE the decline.

Definition of irony:
Two characters in a Hallmark Holiday movie coming out of an off-off-Broadway play that was not good. One asks the other how they liked it:
"I think the cast did a good job with material that was obviously a little bit far-fetched."
