Thankfully they are alive and doing quite well in our little forest home in Quebec, Canada. Of all the places I used to see them as a kid almost none are still vibrant and busy, but our little corner of forest here has a good population. For now…

15+ years working remote. I only turn my camera on when there are new vendors/clients on the call and it is my turn to introduce myself.

Has strawberry gotten any easier to theme? I tried a few years back and just couldn’t handle the aesthetics, and theming it seemed to only do some parts properly.

popos tiling works this way as well.

Quebec, Canada.

It was too tasty for snozz. And there were no berries.

For scale:

I don’t have any current pics to show the scale of the tiny garden, but here is an older one. Each side of the 5-sided fence is about 250cm / 8 feet.

Every day makes me understand Marvin from HHGTTG more and more.

Good eye. Sometimes known as butter and eggs toadflax.

Oh wow, I hadn’t thought of day of the triffids in almost 30 years… And now looking it up it seems I missed a 2009 movie. Superb!

Thanks for the catalyst that lead to me not having to decide what to watch tonight :)

Thanks for the note.

It should also be noted that while they are invasive, they have been established (in my part of Canada) since at least the early 1700s. I wouldn’t go importing mullein and planting them on purpose, but I will also not destroy them on my own land. They are like a mini-ecosystem all of their own. And when the bees are done with the clover they can be found on these mullein more than any other plant in our ‘yard’.

And while technically invasive, they are neither aggressive nor hard to manage ( if you are not trying to manage a million square KM of national Park ;) )

That the folks in IT have any sway over microsoft or facebook’s ui plans.

NO Karen, I can not make Teams go back to the way it used to be. No matter how many times you ask.

I don’t know if I would go that far ;) But thanks for the vote of confidence.

Fair enough. I lived there long enough to know that some of them definitely did it purely out of spite, I just can’t imagine it is a majority.

Hey now. Alberta has a ton of morons, and slightly more than their fair share of assholes. But Hanlon’s razor* still applies. I don’t think anybody put a hitch on their truck with the express intent of causing harm somewhere. They are more likely just stupid and/or lazy.

In other words: some bad things happen not because of people having bad intentions, but because they did not think it through properly. Or at all.
