Also wild that I spent more than a minute trying to figure out which waterfall that was, then getting clued by your snail post that I was already there this year, just under different flow and foliage conditions!
My photo of the same waterfall, but from April 2026, with a higher water flow and only a bit of green vegetation.

constantly runs through my head that the level of service quality that would get you no-notice canned from a job waiting tables seems to be a-okay for the 6 figure jobs

I was birding Wednesday morning and there was a wild number of raptors around. 3 Cooper's Hawks and I *thought* 3 American Kestrels chasing each other around. Then I looked at my photos and realized it was 2 Kestrels and a Merlin! I haven't seen one for 2 years. SO COOL. #birds
Photo of a Merlin swooping in to dive bomb a Kestrel who had been perched peacefully on a bare branch. The Kestrel has just leaped into the air and has its head craned to look down and behind itself casually, like, "Dude. Rude much?"

Sorry for the random interruption but I love seeing a wine from Raj Parr on the skyline. If you like natural wine, have you had any of his other wines, like from Phelan Farm or Scythians?

btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.

none of the people complaining about el-sayed saying this actually think it's a bad message. most Americans have agreed that 9/11 was cynically used to get us into a pointless war that cost untold lives for close to two decades now. what they are actually objecting to is a Muslim talking about 9/11.

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

The effect of roast level on caffeine level is greatly overstated. Some caffeine is lost to darker roasting, but more of other mass is lost. So, if you brew with a scale it's counteracted, you'll end up using more beans per dose.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

Hating AI is good, actually
LinkedIn may be awash with boosters, but shunning AI is the human choice.

I'm so glad to see that AI is so unpopular, despite its investors trying to convince us otherwise. Can't wait for them to leave us alone.
