16°C predicted for tomorrow. I already look for a good aloha shirt to wear tomorrow.

Right now it's around +8*C.
Even worse, it's raining outside.

Kinda freakish - it's typical to get a lot of snow and around -10*C this time of the year, with a couple of years being -20 to -30 on my memory.

Christmas is looking cold and rainy for us. 23°C.

Low 30's are fairly typical for Christmas

Well, sure. You're in Australia! :lol:

I am walking around outside in DC in a T-shirt.

And here in the Seattle area, we're looking at a possible snowy Christmas. Probably won't last long, but there is snow in the forecast at present.
It's also snowed once, and it's been slushing for a while now. It's a little different from what I'm used to from Northern California, but hey, it's not bad.

I had to put on pants to go outside today, but only because the judge said I had to.

So, Flite Test had some Star Wars themed fun recently...

WARNING: No spoilers present. Just sheer awesome.

About a month ago my company aquired small Trotec laser cutter/engraver. One of the function of this machine is cutting rubber stamps like those: http://www.colop.pl/tl_files/slidery/pieczatka-colop-compact-KOLORY-SWIATA.jpg.

Yesterday as we're finishing last orders before christmas break I noticed in the cutter's software a project that cought my attention:

It's the Polish Space Agency (POLSA). We made few rubber stamps for them.

Althought entire order was really small I'm now official subcontractor for space agency

Here's our cutter and terrible photo of rubber stamping on paper (my phone makes terrible close ups).

Just watched the Return of the Jedi (1984 version) again and turns out Obi-Wan actually mentions the name Anakin in there.
I never noticed that before, somehow.

But Poland cannot into space...

But Poland cannot into space...

Um, aren't you missing a word between cannot and into?

Um, aren't you missing a word between cannot and into?

That originates from "Less than perfect English" of some Polish user, that gave birth to Polandball.

Case in point

I always love the polandball strips, but I dont really understand them. Its like they started as humour about nationality and politics, but now some of them are just about the individual 'balls' as characters.

While SATW is Scandinavia-centric, Polandball is not just Poland-centric, case in point:

I didnt even know the Ghurkas still existed.

I didnt even know the Ghurkas still existed.

Yes, they are still around, and are just as badass. Remember the guy who killed a bunch of Taliban by himself, including the use of his machine gun tripod as a melee weapon? Gurkha.

The upside of this weather is that it favours "expedited" driving on unrestricted highways (with the surprisingly low traffic also helping a lot)
