My guess is nuclear tests


it's too spontaneous for that

it it's "just" a training exercise or test they could have announced the closing weeks or month before it happening massively reducing the cost fallout from it

not that the current administration has in generally acted with care when it comes to causing huge financial damage to US cities, especially such they don't like


A fun little website I made - source code is available here:

https://github.com/consti/currentcondition

Let me know what you think?


I just made a pretty strange one myself: https://currentcondition.tv

I've added quite a few Easter eggs and a few old school games. Let me know what you think?

Blue dots are locations of previous visitors.. it all works well on desktop, the games need a bit more love to work well on mobile.


Also just made it open source - https://github.com/consti/currentcondition


The 5000 loc index.html doesn't look too bad content wise, but I question if it's helpful to humans in its shape. I guess a proper project structure is just a prompt away though.

I'd even say that a very small part of the world uses Fahrenheit for temperature :)


English speakers in Liberia and the Burmese will also have to stick with tyranny units according to the detection code. The rest of us should be fine.


..yet


Syndicate PC game vibes

It's cool.


yer a wizard consti


That wasn't really the intention - I hope you can find it motivating as well :)


I built a small app that includes Standard Ebooks and Gutenberg ebooks for personal library management (and send to Kindle): https://scriptwerk.com

Hopefully this makes discovery of books easier and lets people manage their libraries online - I like Calibre, but it is not great for people who are just getting started.

It's still loginwalled/paywalled from there. Not all of us have institution access.


Congratulations! Quite the journey since we did YC S08! :D

Looks like it was, thanks!
