When the AI bubble pops, the demand for computing power will fall much more quickly than the supply. For a brief window, we will have an amazing digital surplus.

Vines Guy was tasked with removing invasives primarily because he has a degree in conservation.

He does not know how to identify invasives.

[libraford]

VG: what plant is this?

Me: -runs hands through it a few times- immature amur honeysuckle. Get rid of it.

VG: what about this one? Seek says its a cabbage.

Me: -breaks a stem- milkweed. Keep it.

VG: what about this one?

Me: -rolls a leaf in my fingers, smells it, eats it-

VG:

Me: horseweed. Not invasive, but really aggressive. Not bad to pull it.

VG: you just ate that?????

[libraford]

At lunch-

VG: I cant believe you ate that before you knew what it was.

Me: I had an idea what it was. None of the lookalikes are poisonous, so it was either horseweed or something else in the dicot family. Then when I smelled the leaves and it was spicy I figured it out.

VG: I was always told not to eat wild plants because it could be poison ivy.

Me: I mean, I was told that, too. But then I learned how to identify poison ivy. And then I started reading about medicinal and edible plants, learned what has lookalikes and whats obvious. Turns out a lot of invasives and 'weeds' are edible- horseweed, purselane, plantain, dandelion...

VG: but not ALL of the plant is edible.

Me: I mean... some arent worth eating, but all parts of dandelions are edible.

VG: what?

Me: ...where did I lose you?

VG: even the leaves????

Me: people put them in salads. My dad likes dandelion wine made out of the flowers. If you dry the roots up the make a tea that apparently is good for your liver.

VG: hey I found this picture of you.

[libraford]

VG: why did you apologize to the milkweed plant?

Me: because I had to break off its stem to ID it.

VG: no... like why did you apologize to a plant?

Me: to help it grow.

VG: is that how it works?

Me: I mean... what am I losing by doing it?

VG: i usually scream at them.

Me: that probably works too. They do not have good hearing.

Fucking love Peregrine Falcons

Marvelous

[asteroidtroglodyte]

In urban areas, where it tends to nest on tall buildings or bridges, it subsists mostly on a variety of pigeons. Among pigeons, the rock dove or feral pigeon comprises 80% or more of the dietary intake of peregrines.

[asteroidtroglodyte]

In many parts of its range, peregrines now also nest regularly on tall buildings or bridges; these human-made structures used for breeding closely resemble the natural cliff ledges that the peregrine prefers for its nesting locations.

[asteroidtroglodyte]

A study testing the flight physics of an "ideal falcon" found a theoretical speed limit at 400 km/h (250 mph) for low-altitude flight and 625 km/h (388 mph) for high-altitude flight. In 2005, Ken Franklin recorded a falcon stooping at a top speed of 389 km/h (242 mph).

theres ALWAYS a relevant XKCD for everything huh

I’m not Christian, I don’t go to church anymore, and my pastor died, but when he was alive I’d sometimes go to his sermons and I remember one time he said “it feels good to hate, but we know that it isn’t allowed, so when we’re told that we’re allowed to hate someone we get so excited that we forget we’re supposed to love”, and if my humble atheist ass might borrow some church talk I’d like to perhaps submit that

[teaboot]

Anyhow sometimes on the day to day I feel disgust or revulsion and I have to ask myself “is this a danger to anyone at all or am I just looking for something I’m allowed to hate” and a solid 98/100 times it’s the latter so once again thank you pastor D

when i forget to log into ao3 and i have to click proceed to see an adult fic, i actually get a kick out of it. like i am an old timey queen and my bard is apologetic: “gentle lady, dicks doth touch in this next ballad. would you prefer another?” and i give him a gesture of command like, “nay, you may proceed, minstrel. bring forth the tale of dicks”

ME AND WHO

[givemeareasontobebeautiful]

Dorothy Zbornak, my muse

[vio1315]

Okay, I gotta say this nuance aloud, though maybe everyone already understood it.

When people discuss the importance of using things, such as special plates, candles, special clothes- they will say that it's best to use them all the time, and that this makes each day special or something like that.

Which is only part of the picture if you ask me.

It's good not to hoard things forever, but if you use everything all the time, it also leaves certain special times as kind of indistinct from anything else. Like having a Christmas tree up all year kind of takes something away from it.

So here's my rephrasing: special things should have a concrete time of use, not an abstract one.

If you have an outfit you love but have it dedicated to only wear once a year on a specific day? Totally fine! You are using it, and it is contributing something to your life.

If you have plates that you'll only use 'for a special occasion' but haven't touched them in years? Evidently you don't know how to recognize a special occasion and should try and think of more specific qualifiers.

Some nice things make every day special, and others make certain times unique. It doesn't have to be one or the other, there's also joy in restraint. You just have to make sure perfectionism isn't slipping into how you use the ones that are only for some of the time.
