Great neighbor!

Gallusia? Gallinaville?

But honestly, Chicken Itza should win. Brilliant.

Or...
Cunctatio magnitudinem impedit

Magna facere possem, nisi semper cunctarer deinde festinarem.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

I just would have filled the freezer with ice cream... 😄

Yes! That Geranium maderense is a very vigorous self-sower. We have one in the front garden that is struggling to establish itself - the coast is a bit less friendly. Do you collect seeds? Ours has not bloomed in 4 years, and I want to try it in a sunnier location.

Oh wait, that is the south side of the pond in Strybing, the smaller area on the south side of the pedestrian bridge, right?

Which water feature is this? Not in the Japanese Tea Garden, and does not look like Stow Lake (from memory...)

I got that message, too.

Do not offer what you cannot provide. Check the watch version first.

I don't like it for creative work, but I like not having to perform the same menial task 10,000 times in a row - even if it would help me achieve expert status in said menial task.

Choose the references for me? Nope.

Put the references I chose in APA format for me? Yep.

If it's a standard format and you can provide guidelines and examples, this is the type of mundane crap-work that AI is good at, and it's easy enough that you don't need a pro license for any of the AI products out there - the free ones can handle it, then you only need to review and proofread.

Yeah, one of the theories is that it is someone who knows the management methods and is angry about the heavy influx of insta-tourists.

This should have been an opportunity to talk about native plants and protecting them from invasives, but not like this.

Instead they just fuel more anger & hate.

Calla lilies are invasive in California, and they are managed with this type of cut back in some places, but this ravine has no management plan even though the callas are disrupting the drainage and pushing out rare native plants.

Actor unknown, and the stomping is not part of the method.

I got one from them, too. They do a lot of billing and account management for big companies, including healthcare, which I think is this breach.

I get these yearly - "your data have been stolen, here's a subscription to a credit monitoring service." I have locked my credit reports at all services.

I went to Valero's Tropical Bakery and bought haba haba ube - basically an ube brioche filled with sweet ube paste and covered with sugar. Essentially a purple king cake!

Emulator / Emulatrix?

All of the actions are intentional.

Destroy what you do not and cannot understand, because knowledge greater than your own is a threat, not an opportunity to learn.

Attributed to Albert Einstein, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

True mastery of a subject allows you to distill complex ideas into clear, basic terms. Deep understanding eliminates unnecessary jargon, highlights the core concept, and speaks simply.

Do not lie.

The more customers one has in more places, the harder it is to please most of them without sacrificing what made one great to a much smaller audience whom one could know well and share similarities.

We can blame the zeitgeist (offerings of golden idols), but craft is easier to give up than money.

A coffee table book of computer software interfaces? I think a book of bad examples would be easier to create than a book of excellent examples... 😀

"Make It So" (Shedroff & Noessel) wrote a book about computer interfaces in sci-fi movies, but it's not a coffee table book (not big and glossy.)

I use that brand - one of the few curry paste that are vegetarian (no shrimp paste.)

I was moved out of my office in One Market, but I walked along the bay there often. Your second photo (Martian landing? Alien creature? Multi-legged abstract?) is new since I moved last year. It's very cool!

My brain holds more trivia than useful information...

Gidney and Cloyd are the names of the Moon Men who were trapped on earth and helped by Rocky and Bullwinkle to get back to the moon in a series of episodes on their cartoon TV show.

I had two cats (sisters) named Gidney and Cloyd. 😸

We are almost exactly 1500 feet to the San Andreas fault (to the east) and 1500 feet to the Pacific Ocean (to the west), but we're on a ridge, not on sand at sea level.

The San Andreas exits the peninsula about 2500 feet north of the Dollaradio station (it goes offshore at Mussel Rock.)

Check out the satellite view of the two houses behind 1112 Palmetto Ave. (Use the past photos feature to see it before the pool collapsed off the cliff.)

The industrial building in front of it used to be the largest producer of French macaron cookies in the USA.

That house is like our second worst example of what not to buy.

That is also the historically important Dollaradio building that was extended and converted into a home decades ago. It was connected to the antenna array that received confirmation of Byrd's Antarctic expedition.

We've been here for 12 years! We do get more sun in the winter than in the summer, but if you like to check in with the ocean and have easy access to SF, this is the place (just not on Beach Avenue along the sea wall, unless surfing in your living room is your idea of fun...)
