Tbf New England also has *bogs*, which are way better than southern swamps anyways.

I knew a Mexican-American family that would straight up explain their 'Castile' limpieza unprompted in conversation and Rubio has the same vibes.

Australian Institute of Marine Science This timelapse captures just over two years of coral growth, between May 2011 and August 2013, in the central Great Barrier Reef. The footage was taken by our fixed underwater camera at AIMS' weather station at Davies Reef. linktr.ee/AustInstitut...

Tbf I've encountered DoD folks who were shocked to learn that US flagged ships occasionally make en route port calls in China.

The bluebells are asleep 😴 This is when the hard work starts as it’s the only time humans step on the bluebell fields Poorly trees come down, & paths are replaced with them. Also the brambles encroaching on the paths can be trimmed now the resident birds are not nesting

Reading this more as startups wanting to be their own smol bean primes but wanting the government to subsidize their scif space vs renting out space from another company/property owner.

And then there are house centipedes, which are kinda like horror cockroaches, but they're useful in hunting cockroaches and silverfish and such.

The thing that kills me about these stories is NOT just the use of AI but it's like they turned their brains off. They summited at 7pm they should have realized it was getting dark and turned around long before they did.

Hopefully a silver lining would be that this applies pressure to make better use of existing data center capex (replace/upgrade older DCs, reallocate idle ones, etc).

A weekend spent working the trail turned this section of ankle breakers into a perfect path for any hiker! Years of winter storms washed away the original gravel trail bed, so #patc volunteers refilled it with additional check dams to keep the gravel in place. #hiking #snp #nationalparks

Before and after pictures of Piney Branch Trail in Shenandoah National Park. Trail on the left is the result of years of floods washing away smaller stones and gravel, leaving only "ankle breaker" rocks in the trail. On the right is the same trail after Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC) volunteers recovered gravel from down hill and refilled the trail bed. The large stone steps or "check dams" will help hold the gravel in place and limit the ability for floods to dislodge the gravel from the trail.

Honestly depending on how far they get, probably better to just write it off and start the next one.

Incredible stuff from Avalon Nursery.

Guys I’m sorry about my last few posts picking on Agapanthus & Yuccas. I understand lots of you like these plants so I do apologise. I will admit, there is a time and a place for all plants including those two. And that time is never and that place is hell. Bye

Hopefully it goes better than my broken arm experience: "Wow! Hey Bob, come look at this! ...Well, on the bright side at least you're young, it'll straighten itself eventually" He was right, only took 15 years or so!

Frankly, there're parts of Appalachia that would still be suspicious of tacos if it weren't for the efforts of Taco John.
