![]() ![]() Her daughter screamed that I was a liar and Mom started up with another round of yelling, this time about how I was calling her daughter a liar. ![]() Then I explained to her how the week before I had told her daughter outright that I wouldn't give her a neck tattoo. I let her yell until she had calmed down enough to listen. ![]() She started getting upset again and yelling about how this was going to get me fired and sent to jail, etc. The tattoo was terribly done to say the least so the Mom definitely had several reasons to be so livid. I told the mother to call her daughter in and her daughter pointed to me and told her Mom I was the one who did it. She had found some sketchy artist in a kitchen to tattoo the rose on her neck that I said no to. ![]() It was around then that I recognized the girl from the week before peaking in our front windows. Apparently her daughter had went out and got a neck tattoo without her knowledge. Everybody in the shop was pretty confused and after we got her to stop screaming at all of us we finally got it out of her why she was so angry. Until the following week when an incredibly angry middle aged woman comes barging into the shop screaming how she is going to have us all shut down and sent to jail. Other than sharing the story with my coworkers over beers later and having a laugh at her audacity I think no more of it. After a lot of arguing she finally left, but not before making some idle threat. She got pretty upset and made a scene in our front area and I told her to leave. Now I'm certainly not going to even entertain a neck tattoo for a teenager period, but she didn't even bother to bring a parent with her to sign for her so it went from a certain no to and absolute never in a million years. She wanted a tattoo of a rose on the side of her neck.

It's much too early to answer specific questions like "who will be the new default provider" - I need to negotiate with the different providers and figure out what makes the most sense in terms of functionality, accuracy for the largest number of users, and financials. I've already personally spoken with the teams at a number of different weather providers and I am working to ensure that they'll fill any holes left by Dark Sky going away, such as the short-term rain forecast. This very generous shutdown window gives me lots of time to plan for any upcoming changes. The Dark Sky API will remain active until the end of 2021, so you don't have to worry about anything getting shut off any time soon. I invested a ton of time and energy into integrating a bunch of amazing weather data providers into the app (there are currently 8 total) - and all that work has helped to ensure that users will still have a lot of great options even if one is removed. It's still very early and I'm still processing the news, but I just wanted to answer the basic questions real quick.ĬARROT isn't going anywhere.
