Yup. I’m Bo7a.
Lol. Fuck off.
Signed, A Canadian who has to work all over the US. Sure, if you happen to be really rich, your quality of life might be better there than here. But for the vast majority of people, that is a fucking laughable statement.
Thankfully they are alive and doing quite well in our little forest home in Quebec, Canada. Of all the places I used to see them as a kid almost none are still vibrant and busy, but our little corner of forest here has a good population. For now…

News report - Date unknown
In the early days of the war the Russian regime made regular threats to use nuclear weaponry, but most experts and lay-people believed that even that brutally sadistic despot would not go the extreme of destroying the earth to achieve his goals.
By 2024 Russia was doing small-scale ecocide in hopes of lending credence to their threats. Looking back, the poisoning of an entire riparian ecosystem connected to the Desna River in what was Ukraine should have been a clear signal of what was to come. But nobody listened and the nuclear weapons flew.
I am not making a joke here. This is where my brain naturally went when reading this. Let’s just hope my invasive thoughts are wrong.
[Edit: I am also not saying to appease this fucking psycho either. This is just a snippet of thought that I felt the urge to share.]

15+ years working remote. I only turn my camera on when there are new vendors/clients on the call and it is my turn to introduce myself.
Has strawberry gotten any easier to theme? I tried a few years back and just couldn’t handle the aesthetics, and theming it seemed to only do some parts properly.

It was too tasty for snozz. And there were no berries.
For scale:
I don’t have any current pics to show the scale of the tiny garden, but here is an older one. Each side of the 5-sided fence is about 250cm / 8 feet.

Good eye. Sometimes known as butter and eggs toadflax.
Oh wow, I hadn’t thought of day of the triffids in almost 30 years… And now looking it up it seems I missed a 2009 movie. Superb!
Thanks for the catalyst that lead to me not having to decide what to watch tonight :)
Thanks for the note.
It should also be noted that while they are invasive, they have been established (in my part of Canada) since at least the early 1700s. I wouldn’t go importing mullein and planting them on purpose, but I will also not destroy them on my own land. They are like a mini-ecosystem all of their own. And when the bees are done with the clover they can be found on these mullein more than any other plant in our ‘yard’.
And while technically invasive, they are neither aggressive nor hard to manage ( if you are not trying to manage a million square KM of national Park ;) )
I feel this - I’m often on the other end working with data from clinicians in the field for massive studies. The forms that come in can have an infinite number of possibilities just for noting sex. Enough so that our semantic layer needs a human reviewer because we keep finding new ways field clinicians have of noting this. Now imagine that over the whole gamut of identifiers.
tl:dr - Humans are almost always the problem in data harmonization.
