Older people always remind me to change my clocks for Daylight Saving Time. (lemm.ee)

I haven't used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don't seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

If modern weather prediction says 80% chance of showers, you really should have that umbrella. If it says sunny skies, you can use it as a parasol. And it's also helpful if you're attacked by cops with teargas, even "rubber" bullets.

Lol, "modern weather prediction" which is still as wrong as much as it's right, on an hourly basis.

We just don't have that kind of predictive capability, yet, as weather systems are dynamic/chaotic.

Many times I've left the house with no prediction of precipitation, and been caught out. And I use multiple weather apps, including radar apps.

Don’t worry with the way Trump is handling NOAA, weather prediction will soon return to the good old days.
