Oh man, so the flooding has gotten a million times worse back home from when I was a kid. I used to shop here:
This, however, was always happening:

How would you define "fry in the summer"?
40°C is not unheard of, but we usually level off at about 33-34°C. Do take in account that's not just "dry heat", it tends to be humid as hell as well at the same time.
At winter it's down to about -15°C, with -10°C being pretty common.
This is the part of the country (as small as it is) where I live, though. Things vary wildly for such a small area due to geography of it.
While none of the extremes are that, well, extreme, I get the whole range just sitting in one spot for a year.
-
This is where it's good to be at the end of the Gulf Stream. Yes, we get a bit wet. But our winters are mild, and our summers warm. We don't really get extremes. Not unless there's some really funky shit going on in the atmosphere.
-
My seasonal variation features highs of up to 29°C and sometimes in the winter it gets as cold as 5°C!
-
-
Keep in mind that's only usually a dry heat. We get pretty high humidity during monsoon season.

Talk to me when you get 49°C.
Currently, I'd take that. It's freaking cold today. Only 5°C, but with a wind chill factor of -buttload.

It's nice here, and has been for a few days. Since this is the first time since last October that this has happened (as opposed to sunny-but-cool-and-windy or OK-I-guess-but-gloomy-and/or-wet) we're very happy. It won't last. And I'm in my office…

sunny-but-cool-and-windy
Current situation here exactly.
Well, I'd phrase "cool" as "freezing my privates off", but I'll accept your wording, too.

We simply don't get that cold most of the time. Our real speciality is being overcast and damp for months on end. In summer the damp is warmer than in winter, but it's really just a continuation of the same theme.
I like it when it's sunny. It's the rarity of it all!
-
Sunny and cold here.
As in, below-freezing when I went outside in the morning.

"freezing my privates off"
Never send your soldiers to battle without appropriate winter gear! Their nuts could freeze off!

it's similar but not the same thing.

It cost 99p for a while, but it started out a lot cheaper than that, I don't know where the name comes from.
Apparently nobody really knows:

You're talking about inlining things like css and javascript while keeping them in separate files for easy maintenance. Here at my transitioning-away-from coldfusion shop, we just cfinclude the files. No need to turn them into json objects and pass them through the templating engine >.>

I have no idea where to set [digraphs] up in Cinnamon / Gnome.
Set a compose key somewhere in the keyboard settings.
Compose-^-4 yields ⁴ for example.INB4 pendantry: it works for all
[0-9]
, not just for 4.
-
This isn't the compose key, I think, it's something weird. On one of the Croatian layouts AltGr3 works for superscript. On both of them AltGr2 works for subscript.
I have not touched compose key settings - it's not even set. And all the settings in that section seem to be layout independent.
-
I just spent the last 15 minutes
ack
ing through/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbol
to find where your subscript 2 and superscript 3 come from.
Mission: failed.If you're really curious: looking for
twosubscript
andthreesuperior
will probably get you there fastest.It looks like the Croatian keyboard layouts allow you to type some funky characters

And yet I gave up on the ability to write stuff like that without switching layouts in favour of not turning my fingers in a twisted mess trying to code on it.

Fox tossing (German: Fuchsprellen) was a popular competitive blood sport in parts of Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, which involved throwing live foxes and other animals high into the air.[1]
