That being said, I do refrain from using my phone in public because it only works on speaker phone.

As a society, we have forgotten how to make a phone with an ear piece speaker that works for more than a year.

I worked with old cattle rancher types when ChatGPT came out and they were genuinely excited the first time they heard a news story about “Major advances in AI” because they thought it meant artificial insemination.

Few things in life bring me more joy than being a 6’3” carpenter that drives one of these. More capacity in the bed than most modern pickups, 45mpg and I know I look hilarious getting out of it because the roof is below my rib cage.

I work at the Museum of the Rockies. Our paleo department used to be run by the (disgraced) guy Dr. Alan Grant was based on. Most of our students are there specifically because of Jurassic Park, same is true for the staff. Not me,I had no idea we were the Jurassic park museum until I started.

Even outside of the aesthetics, the fact every good uncommon creature in these UB sets is a legend really makes draft annoying.

Ahhh. We are doing this rhetoric again while the dems are powerless, wonder if we will forget about it as soon as they take back power this time…

Asked the clerk to take this off my order because it rang up at $32. No wonder the price was missing on the shelf.

Ha! Love this sentiment. Need to remind myself of this whenever I start to get cynical while working for the state.

Awww. Saw these last week while vacationing in GA. Love them. Wish we had more Apocynaceae here in MT. Something about that whole family really captivates me.

Scott, interesting you posted this after your post about Quisqualis indica. I have long been amazed by the similar color change that occurs in Oenothera cespitosa. Is this caused by anthocyanin? I’ve always been curious how they turn pink but then don’t get any darker.

Nah. It was warm as could be yesterday and today we are heading into 0 degree low temps. I really could see people wearing shorts on thanksgiving and going ice skating on Christmas if this keeps up.
