    We alllll use NOAA to get our weather. That’s what every weather forcaster uses. Even in Canada a lot of our data is from NOAA. Environment Canada has their own data but it’s pretty shit in comparison.

        Shades of “Who would have thought healthcare was so complicated?” No offense. There are so many basic services people just don’t think about.

          Wished american services and government functions are course(s) taught in middle and high school. It’s a huge shame that almost no knows how the government works in detail, including me, as I have to learn as I go.

      In the Dominican Republic, many people, myself included rely on it to track hurricanes so we don’t die.
