Very rarely Nov 27, 2025

Usually, I just look out the window. The weather in Portugal used to be stable, with some rain from time to time in the fall and winter, followed by many sunny days, but lately we have been hit by several named storms, which caused floods and property destruction. We even had a tornado in the Algarve. Today the weather is beautiful, cold (9 °C) but sunny in Lisbon, and there is some snow on the mountains...

P.S. Now that apparently questions related to AI are exhausted (?), we have a series of questions that have nothing to do with translation. ▲ Collapse

Counter-question to site staff Nov 27, 2025

How often do you check the credentials of agencies that are advertising "AI training jobs" on the site or through users' profiles and so-called translators with fake profiles who are posting fake KudoZ questions?

Isn't this a MUCH more urgent a task than posting up all these unnecessary "user polls"?

We can't do anything about the weather but ProZ CAN do plenty to eliminate abuse of the site.

I check the weather forecast at least as often as I change my socks.

Thank you sooo much for being interested.

I used to do it often Nov 30, 2025

I used to do it often but then it dawned on me they never forecast that it's going to be raining cats and dogs. Nor they ever successfully forecasted a rain of frogs. Really unreliable!

So now I reverted to using tried-and-tested weather-forecasting frogs!

weather-frogs (tree-frogs) were kept in preserve glasses with some water in the bottom and a small ladder. If the weather was changing for the better the frog would climb the ladder; if rain was imminent the frog desc... See more
