On a side note, I set image.animation_mode to "once" which keeps Slack memory and CPU usage down, as the animated emojis only get one pass at my CPU.

So I can view tihngs like noaa once. [1] I need to walk my out-of-shape self around the parking lot and that will tell me how long I have to not get wet.

Oh man. Seems like the side-effect would be that you have to refresh the site to let your eyes have another pass through the animation.

Either that or it's forced you to develop a razor sharp visual memory of short weather animations. :)

One pass is usually good enough for me to know how many minutes I have before I might get soaked. :-)
