Like, even the UK.

This is literally an orphan crushing machine story. 38 dogs were heroically saved after...checks notes...they encountered disaster on a freaking FOX HUNT run by humans?!

Well, I've maintained my music collection from the olden days, and acquire new music as I discover I like it. I mostly have trash vaporwave tastes so I actually buy most of my music cheaply on bandcamp. My music collection isn't massive like some peoples, but it's a decent amount of GB. Mostly mp3, I'm not fancy enough for FLAC.

As for hosting the music, check out Navidrome. It's a great subsonic compatible service that can run on your OS of choice. I use Symfonium on Android to access the library. It supports playlist syncing, offline caching, etc. etc.

I'll bet that dog was the highlight of some people's weeks.

That was an enjoyable read!

Don't worry, I'm sure we can come up with a way to explode the sun much sooner than that.

Gotta get with the times, yo.

It's a busy spring for me! This is year two in a new home, and I've started converting larger chunks of boring grass into wildlife gardens and raised beds. So far this year I've put together:

• New herb garden - Thyme, oregeno, borage, chamomile, sage, you name it! Already Planted!

• A small cornfield - currently growing crimson clover and lettuce greens.

• A small squashfield more crimson clover! And getting the eventual companion beans going!

• A small wildlife garden - sunflowers, more clover, blue hubbard squash, and scarlet runner beans. Food for critters (and also trap crops to keep em off the human food!)

• A second raised bed (for square foot gardening) - Currently has little gem lettuce, red fire lettuce, oak fire mustard greens, carrots, turnips and moooooore~

• I also got a small plastic greenhouse this year, so now I have TEN MILLION tomato babies. Hooray! The peppers I'm growing are not quite ready for transplanting yet, but they'll get there.

food prep is love, food prep is life

Ha ha

I mean, it's the space-time continuum, it's connected! As the documentary Stargate SG-1 shows, we're well acquainted with spatial and chronological drift over interstellar distances.

The Botany of Desire is a fantastic book and also documentary that discusses, in some part, plants being desirable to humans as a selective force. Plant species that humans value have a higher likelihood of surviving because we use them for agriculture, ensuring their ongoing existence. Everything from tea to teonanácatl!

Unfortunately so. They are an Eastern US species that has been moving ever westward. And they are, in bird law terms, 'huge dicks'. They've been systematically kicking Spotted Owls out of their traditional roosting spots for about a decade now. Spotted Owls are pushovers, so they've been losing breeding ground. And barred owls are not just dicks to other birds, they don't like humans much either.

It's off the top of the dome! And clearly a dorf thought smacked me part way through.....

A tiny sculpture of a solitary grouse in a field. The grouse menaces with spikes. The overall composition is realistic. This work represents terror. This representation relates to a Greater-Sage Grouse attacking the colony on 6th of Decembary, 5210.

Just your normal tavern drinking challenge offered by a reanimated skeleton proprietor! Quaff a flask of 'Bone Dry Rum' in under one turn of the timepiece without throwing up and you'll drink free for a year!

Don't sleep on the video walk through, it can be truly invaluable.

To be honest, would a spreadsheet not be a good use for this? There are FOSS asset trackers, but a simple .ods with a pictures column might serve you well. Are there additional features/conveniences you are looking for?

That's the neat part: you don't!

Okra sounds fun! I'm trying out corn, cucumbers, and ground cherries for the first time this year.
