- Retr0spectrum 9y agoI use `curl wttr.in` frequently.
- colinbartlett 9y agoOoooh, awesome! Is there a comprehensive list of these somewhere?
- tudelo 9y agoHeres a list (not exactly comprehensive but has some interesting ones) https://github.com/chubin/awesome-console-services https://github.com/chubin/awesome-console-services
- O_H_E 9y agoWOWWWW
- KozmoNau7 9y agoVery nifty! It's surprisingly advanced, including location search and a bunch of other options.
- Amorymeltzer 9y agoI do, actually. I simply don't have time to watch all the games I'd like, which is fine, but if I'm going to be on the computer anyway a scrolling terminal play-by-play is ideal: it's minimal and easy to read, it doesn't slow down the computer with some ad-ridden live-updating website, and it's subtle in case I need to hide it. Same reason I use pianobar over the website or phone (plus no ads). Moreover, the only thing I miss since cutting the cord is live events (sports, states of the union, olympics, etc.). It's not worth it to pay the various leagues (see above, plus I'm a Knicks fan...) so any little bit helps.
- FiveSquared 9y agoSorry for you man. It’s tough being a knicks fan.
- jve 9y agoWhy?
- Amorymeltzer 9y agohttps://deadspin.com/tag/lolknicks https://deadspin.com/tag/lolknicks It's a long story, but basically the Knicks were fantastic in the 90s, but since 2000 have been mostly a garbage fire. They're a historic team located in NYC, a massive market, and play in Madison Square Garden, a fantastic location, yet despite all that have been miserable. Poor management decisions — trading draft picks to apt for over-pay aging players, for example — is a big part of it.
