Yeah, there's grass and then there's grass. Sure. I got no beef with a field of mixed grass that's left to grow, especially if there's mixed native wildflowers etc.

It's the fields of monoculture non-native grass that the Suburban White Dude[tm] wants to obsessively cultivate and that seems to be the goal of parks departments everywhere that's the problem.

My partner ranted to me the other day that she couldn't get a 10m^2 area from a local municipal parks department recently for a Miyawaki forest plot. No reasons, just "no." Very frustrating group of fuckin' boomers.

A field of monoculture grass is already destroyed.

It's nutty that meat is so subsidized that that is such a cheap option. Never ceases to boggle me.

I recently gave up beef, as that is by far the worst meat for climate and pollution. Might work down the list but I think that's the biggest single step I've taken diet wise.

It might work in Proton or WINE, or in a VM with a GPU passthrough. But that's not something I'd bet my workflow on. Maybe try Darktable on Windows as an intermediate step, or have a separate work machine.

Ngl my partner put a dishwasher pod on the counter the other day and I genuinely thought it was candy for an uncomfortably long second or so.

They murder so, so many birds.

Yeah, a core train line down the Fraser valley would be amazing. Something to connect from Hope all the way to Whistler with high speed commuter rail.

That said, I think we can do multiple things at once. :)

We could definitely use better transit, as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

That is my thinking as well and a good point to explicitly mention in a letter to an mla or MP.

Doesn't show charge cycles for me, sadly. Samsung A52

 

Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.

Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever's left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. 😀

Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?

Interesting comment on a post.

Tldr: Zebra Mussels reach a balance that prevents them from being a totally catastrophic invasive.

 

Some pretty neat stuff in here about upcoming visual changes, and minor updates about episode 5 and Blackfrost.

"The Department of Government Efficiency, Musk's vehicle. made news by "discovering" the General Services Administration uses tapes, and plans to save $1M by switching to something else (disks, or cloud-based storage)."

 

Pretty catchy song.

 

Mostly bugfixes. Cooking UI keyboard updates. Performance tweaks.

 

This is a pretty cool event. $100 for basic, $150 for VIP. We really enjoyed it last year.

I'm having a bit of struggle tanking (prot paladin) Vek'linash. I'm able to hold threat on him fine, but unbalancing strike (-100 defense) rocks me pretty hard, since I keep getting scarabs on me, which eats up all my HS charges and I'm pretty sure that's pushing me into crittable range as well as crushable.

I've taken consecrate off my bars and de-runed HotR for exorcism, but I keep getting the scarabs too, and then get rocked down to 20% health.

Any advice? I've stacked as much +def as I can and am using Greater Stoneshields and armour elixirs as well as the usual suite of ALL THE CONSUMABLES.

 

Today's bake. 30g gluten flour, 270g sprouted whole spelt flour, 700g AP flour, 80g wheat germ. 850g water, 150g starter.

Added in 50g flax soaked 100g water, 50g chiaseed 100g water, 50g each sunflower and pumpkin seeds. 30g salt. Topped with black sesame seeds.

 

As subject. In Gastown, a plane flew over putting out rainbow contrail. Why? O_o

Some festival?
