Yeah, "sort by name then date" levels of complexity. Things I could do manually faster than opening the chatbot.

Milk vetch, IME, is full of air—hence balloon! There's a ton of species, too.

Scientists Found 5.6 Million Burrowing Bees Beneath a Cemetery in New York. The Group Is One of the Largest on Record Researchers in Ithaca estimated the number of ground-nesting bees emerging from a local cemetery in spring 2023, revealing just how abundant some understudied pollinators are

Extremely buried actual point:
"If we don’t preserve nest sites and someone paves over them, we could lose—in an instant—5.5 million bees that are important pollinators."

...then fund extension agencies.

I'll take those off your hands, then. Would you like my servings of overcooked veggies, molluscs, or tripe?

Important question: walnuts or no walnuts?

(I'll eat it either way but I'm aware my lack of an opinion is unusual!)

Wider-spread than that, my mom grew up eating it for New Year's in WI.
With canned oysters, of course.
She made it once & we all decided never to speak of it again.

My dad, otherwise late to everything in his life (nearly including his own wedding) is somehow a "3hrs early to the airport" type.
This is, however, not very useful—the only airports he's driven us to have 2-3 gates & 15-minute security lines!

I suppose that's possible, but still, you can boil things to doneness rather than to slimy disgusting mush.
And it still doesn't explain why you'd ruin a perfectly good fried pork loin by boiling it after!

The slow progress from "what if all food for kids should be designed as punishment?" to "maybe kids would eat veggies if they actually fucking TASTED GOOD?"

So if Trump's IRS gives Trump $10 billion for leaking his tax returns to congress does that set the precedent for the damages amount my personal data which was stolen by Musk and DOGE is worth?

Probably for large trees, after the invention of the 2-man saw?

I do enjoy the inclusion of "lick" in the possible problems list!

Looks like a mud dauber nest? If so, they only sting if you're actively smashing them with your hand.

Mud tubes stuck to a white ceiling and blue wall with more mud

What is it
What lives here
Will it sting or bite or lick people walking around nearby

Darn that tick, stealing all her hemoglobins!

Tuxedo cat lying between my legs. To conform to the space, his body is in a sort of triangle position, and his tail is sticking out

You're probably familiar with the feline pear, loaf and shrimp positions. May I introduce the stingray?

There's a certain strain of that in small towns in the Midwest, too, & it's so very tiresome. Look, Jay, I get you peaked in high school but let the rest of us enjoy adulthood? Even without a beer?

announcing ILÚVATAR, my multi-billion dollar company which will specialize in the dismantling of all other idiotically tolkien-named entities, that they shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite

No bird would escape your lens!

But see, smoking will keep them skinny, & we all know that's the only metric of health, right?

It's certainly a relief! Now to see if she's stubborn in trying to recover, or stubborn in refusing to. My other grandma did both, at different times.

She's out of surgery & recovering, so that's the first hurdle cleared!

Creek sprites are better served with short hair that refuses to cooperate & collects sticks & frogs.

Source: kid me.

Much appreciated, thank you.

On the other hand that sort of selfish weirdo should absolutely not be a parent, for the sake of children.

If anyone's the praying/think-good-thoughts sort, I'd appreciate you aiming some toward my grandmother. She's headed into surgery for a broken hip, & at 94 that's more than a bit risky.

Eep! Then when it's out, you're in close proximity to a moose!

Mountain cedar forest with a dry cedar littered forest floor with an almost perfect round pit full of water.

This is why we don't go off trail or let dogs run off leash in areas that have a long underground mining history.

Something also commonly forgotten by people who try to drive or wade through moving floodwaters!

"Oh but after Katrina…" those waters were still, trapped behind levees, & it was still a bad idea to wade through them, just less bad than dying of thirst!
