How effed is this?
I'm thinking I'm hearing rain hitting the roof. But instead of going to the window to see, my lazy ass just pulls up a current radar picture to see if it's raining.

Sure enough, it is.

So I was right.

But it's still a pretty effed up thing to do.

No?

Seems a blatant misuse of technology to me.

I may have trouble sleeping tonight.

3. Hahaha... no Capn
Just a good old fashioned pc. But that doesn't make me feel any better. I feel like I've abused the code of ethics between humans and machinery.

I feel cheapened by the experience.

I should have just gone to the damned window.

What was I thinking?

2. I recommend that you make up for this by
taking a walk in the rain.
Hear it, see it, taste it, feel it, smell it...
and you'll sleep well tonight. ;)

5. I have done the exact same thing. In fact, I regularly do it
The first time, I had the same thought you did. I laughed at the irony.

Now I do it regularly, because not only do I see what is overhead right now, I can see what is coming and from which direction. (see, there's your rationale. it works for me.)
