Winter kicks off today. I've been thinking of getting out the warm T-Shirt. Funny as faarrrkkkk to watch people for the past few weeks done up in jackets I wouldn't need in the snow and big thick scarfs.
Doesn't really get cold around here till middle of July and through August. And by cold I mean absolutely nothing like people get way up north like in Canadia and such. Might get -5 at night but will still be double digits during the day.
Bloody Millenials need to harden the faarrrkkkk up.

Actually Vegas can get pretty wet (annual avg. 4.17 inch), and there are plants. It is actually colder (and hotter) in Phoenix than in Las Vegas. (the Atacama Desert gets an average of .04" per year).

It's too hard for me to imagine that little water in a whole year; the Netherlands are like London in that respect. When the calendar says "summer", then it is raining.

So I looked that place up on wikipedia, and it has its own entries on flora, fauna and ..humans? There's humans who settled in a place where it doesn't rain? 170 towns worth of them?

That is the reason I like to live on the coast of California. The year I lived in Newport Beach, CA did not use the air conditioner or heater once. However I did use the fan. Now when I moved to Studio City, CA I real happy to have both, but still it is pretty mild there.

If only, first day of summer over here, but I prefer the winter.
Air conditioners are pretty rare in the Netherlands so when it's hot outside it's hot inside (which isn't very often, but still a few weeks a year).
Everyone has heaters though, so when it's cold outside I get to pick the temperature inside

You can always spot the travellers in Rome in autumn/spring, they are the ones in tshirt and shorts while the locals have their winter finest on. Fashion trumps comfort every time. You see it in SG as well, 30' and some of the locals have jumpers on, weird.

... and we still haven't had a frost up here. When it's been cold enough it's been too damn windy.

AFAIK, the British did not send their good, upstanding citizens to Australia.

It's midweek and we're feeling generous. So today we're giving away not 1, but 2 spot prizes in the Summer Fun with Arduino Challenge. Congrats fatman and AppJeanne - you've just won yourselves brand new Raspberry Pi starter kits. Nice one!

?? And what shall be done to get these ?
|
|
|
|
|

Thanks Kent. The two above profiles who got prizes are almost empty, where can I find their entry/article ? I think I am completely missing the point here. 
|
|
|
|
|
It's a competition to find a specific answer, not a competition for article writing.
|
|
|
|
|
I am still lost, which of the 3 challenges[^] is this ? And where are the entries ?
|
|
|
|
|

This is challenge number 1 - Build an Arduino LED Binary Counter. The details are on the Overview page. You have to find the secret code and enter the result in the Code Entry page. Those who successfully complete challenge 1 are eligible to enter the random draw for spot prizes.
Challenges 2 and 3 are article writing challenges and those articles/ entries can be found under the Entries tab. Hope this clarifies.
