What has college done to me!?

Was working on an assignment a moment ago, and it had me look this up:

METAR PANC 241853Z 35006KT 10SM FEW015 BKN065 OVC080 M04/M07 A2942

A few months ago I would have assumed that was some sort of computer programming code I wasn't familiar with. Now it reads clear as English for me. What the hell, college!? D:



It's a METAR, a standardized airport meteorological report, typically used by pilots to help plan a flight.

Here's a basic breakdown of this one:
METAR - Letting you know what the upcoming alphabet soup factory explosion is.
PANC - Location designator. In this case, it's for Ted Stevens Int'l Airport, here in Anchorage.
241853Z - Date and time designator. This report was generated on the 24th of this month, at 1853 Zulu/UTC/Greenwich Mean Time...which, converting to Alaska time (-9 UTC), means this report was generated at 9:53 AM locally.
350006KT - Wind direction/speed indicator. The wind was coming from 350 degrees (travelling south-southeast) at 6 knots (about 7 mph).
10SM - Horizontal visibility indicator. Visibility is 10 statute miles, which basically means you can see clear to the horizon.
FEW015 / BKN065 / OVC080 - Cloud info. The numbers give the altitude of cloud layers in hundreds of feet above sea level. Here, we have a few clouds at 1500 feet, a broken cloud layer at 6500 feet (which is where the visibility "ceiling" would be declared), and complete overcast at 8000 feet.
M04/M07 - Temperature/Dewpoint indicator. The temperatures are given in Celsius. The air temp indicated here is -4 degrees Celsius (24.8 degrees Fahrenheit), with a dewpoint of -7 (19.4).

A2942 - Barometric pressure. The air pressure outside at the time of the report was 29.42 inHg (Inches of Mercury; air pressure was originally determined by seeing how far up a tube it would push the silvery liquid. Standard air pressure is 29.92 inHg.)

Welcome to my non-peristeronic life, everyone.

Just wanted to run something by the rest of the team real quick.

Specifically pertains to davidn and kjorteo.

You remember those Dr. Seuss parodies we did back around Christmas, right before HolidayStar came out? I was thinking some of the folks who watch our videos might enjoy those, so I was considering putting them up on Tumblr.

I wanted to make sure you guys were okay with it beforehand, though...that, and I honestly think it might work better being put on the Team Hatoful blog that mine; if nothing else it gives more of that "group effort" feel that they'd rightly deserve.

EDIT: CURSES, TOO LATE.

2ND EDIT: Okay, so apparently the reason folks were able to find the audio recording of How Shuu Stole Christmas is because, after a 4-comment long chat with one of our viewers, I gave out the link to it.

The things this game inspires in people...

Kalante catches a....wait, that's not a strawberry!

Man, I can't get away with anything anymore. XP
