Convert time and date to local time

When you get an email that sets a meeting for “12PM noon EDT”, you can quickly get that in your local timezone using the date command from GNU coreutils.

$ date --date="12 PM EDT"
Sat Jul  1 07:00:00 PM EEST 2023

Check the weather

This is just a way to check the weather from inside the terminal. Behind the scenes is a service run by chubin.

$ curl wttr.in

If the automatic location it detects is incorrect you can use:

$ curl wttr.in/$YOUR_CITY
