derek arnold @derekarnold.bsky.social · 01/10/2026people drawing a lot of conclusions from this chart when it very well could just be remote workers trading in car commutes for time at home. Yawn. 000
derek arnold @derekarnold.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I will never forget a short lived retro gaming podcast I listened to ten years ago (Square Waves FM) for the sole reason that one of the hosts related a story about how he thought they were called Old Outch chips as a kid because of the goofy font 000

derek arnold @derekarnold.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I said this wrong, we got calcareous areas out the ass, I meant calcareous glades, which isn’t what the info says where this plant grows, so I guess…..cool! 000

derek arnold @derekarnold.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Gentianella quinquefolia (agueweed) prefers calcareous soil, and I spotted this in a former quarry spot without topsoil. Calcareous areas are somewhat uncommon in Iowa but inat has observations across the state, guess it pays to have the wind disperse your seeds 111
derek arnold @derekarnold.bsky.social · 19/09/2026this is a almost entirely flat area In Iowa about a mile from the “trailhead”, you can literally see cell towers as you walk around lol 010

derek arnold @derekarnold.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I mistakenly perceived the image has having the same low quality, slapdash, piss-stained look as a local slop flyer for drain cleaning taped up at a gas station.

derek arnold @derekarnold.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Maybe we both didn't spend enough. Asking an LLM "is this AI" is going to give you a non-deterministic answer. How much of its context window was used? Past 45%, hallucinations are guaranteed. You're essentially getting a pseudorandom result 100
