Wireshark is amazing for visualization and troubleshooting of network protocols. Things like the 3 way tcp handshake and TLS negotiation are easier to conceptualize when you can see the flow and what’s going over the wire

I’m sure I knew at some point that these insects molt (moult?) but it was still surprising to come across one relatively intact for some reason #bugsky #invertebrates
What I think is the pale molt of some kind of mantis on the concrete?

A very grumpy man in a sweater is attempting to spend the afternoon indulging his bad mood while listening to music on his portable CD player. Unfortunately, his plans are ruined because the beat of the song is so good that it begins to improve his nasty attitude. The caption reads "Trying to brood but the beat is improving my mood." Artist's Note: I was thinking of the song Fantasy by Mariah Carey. Great beat.

Oops, I'm wrong - I DID get a pic. Been almost 15 years now, I forgot, but it was still in my photo albums.
A banana held on top of a scratched metal table. It shows a name and address inked on the skin, with first name and box number obscured - "Johnson, VSU Box Number - 1500 North Patterson Street, Valdosta, GA 31698."  An adhesive barcode sticker is wrapped around the top end.
