@kevin Yeah I dunno who these people are who think you can get from one place to another in less than 15 minutes. If you told me I could prevent nuclear apocalypse by getting from my house to the closest grocery store in less than 15 minutes I would probably just start calling my loved ones to say goodbye.

@jimray Sure, but the allergy came on suddenly, then went away immediately when we went to Spain, then came back on when we were in a different city in Spain. It would be useful if we could eyeball it and see what correlates with the attacks.

Does anyone know of a site that has historical pollen index data (just needs to cover the last few weeks)? I am trying to figure out what precisely my son may be to.

Seems to me like all the pollen sites are like weather sites, where they only enter give the current values and forecasts.

@quentinpradet I don’t want to fly to Spain every month to buy a case of yogurts, but I don’t see that I have any other options.

This is going to turn me into one of those airline miles people who gets on random flights to Singapore for the points, except I’m going to have to set up an alert for any time plane tickets to anywhere in Spain drop below $100 so I can show up for 3 hours to buy yogurt and then fly right back.

@adamchainz Getting slightly closer to the states…

Do they have this specific brand and flavor of yogurt outside of Spain? I think it is basically Oikos Triple Zero, but this particular flavor is super good (it has little chunks of banana in it), and doesn’t compare to the banana cream flavor we have in the States.

Apparently if you filter a Danish it turns into a donut, which is something smokers prefer?

Since it came up several times at #pyconus, I thought I’d post here. The method I’ve been using to learn Spanish (and liking quite a bit), is Comprehensible Input.

A good starting point for finding information about CI, and finding materials in your target language is Compehensible Input Wiki

For Spanish, I started with Dreaming Spanish

Anyone know how I can get Github Actions to let me overwrite /usr/share/zoneinfo?

Mac OS runners install some rearguard bullshit: https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil/actions/runs/9162760198/job/25190408177?pr=1130

#github #github-actions

Very tempted to just drop MacOS builds from dateutil’s CI rather than deal with whatever is going on here.

“This is not going to be Python 4”.

I am taking this as implicit approval of @hugovk’s proposal to switch to #calver.

#python #pyconus

@bernat Thanks for the tips!

@bernat I think it is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4GQCBBsuNU

Sumana played it in her PyCon US keynote.

I just realized I’ve never seen @bernat or Paul Moore before this video. Weird to think about.

I think Bernard had the best camera setup. 😅

#pyconus

@tacaswell @hugovk @tintvrtkovic The plan is that the release in 2100 will be 3.100.0
