Does it matter if there's no punishment against it? If it were actually punished, it would be extortion but here we are

Trap or not, worth it

I mean it's ok. I wouldn't call it that great. I'd settle for pretty good egret

Edit: speaking of the bird specifically, not the photo.

Well, they're aren't any more of one party than another so technically....

As were any identifying marks on either them or their vehicle if the reports I read were accurate

Have had surprise peanuts due to squirrels so it's not always bad

That is a good crop of buns. You should be proud of that one

Oh, this is not the first time for them. I've had one citrus die between summer survival time and too greedy caterpillars so I try to keep a balance between the two. I appreciate being considered a safe space for them to grow. Next is a little area for monarchs and others to enjoy a stay

It's the time of year again when I find my citrus plants covered in wiggling bird poop. The caterpillar form of the swallowtail butterfly is extra fond of citrus plants and they make a point to have their first point of life in my garden. I have a rule that I make plain to the little critters: you can stay if you don't eat too many leaves. Eat too much and you get evicted. It does no good for them if the plant dies.

It got me thinking: where do others sit on the scale of "magazine perfect lawn piece" to "it's less garden and more forest area I found to live in"?

Do you have everything where the animals can't get to them or are you fighting the birds for the perfect ripeness of a fig?

Genetic predisposition for addiction, environmental or situational factors, tax brackets, the list goes on.

Lot easier to get drugs if you're in an environment with easy access to them. Lot easier to get hooked if you're predisposed to addiction. The drug of choice changes as you go up the wealth ladder.

I know I probably wouldn't have used weed to self medicate if I didn't have ready access to it

I always take a seat at Dave's garage

The programmer from the article is Dave Plummer. This is one of his hobbies. Check his YouTube channel Dave's Garage for more of them

Before I even clicked on the article I knew it was going to be Dave Plummer. This kind of thing is exactly what he'd do

After having basic camera setups with simple trackers, I was gifted a seestar s30. Closed in back yard has a small area that isn't covered in trees but has a perfect view of Orion. Going to let it run as long as I dare tonight and pull the fits files to import into siril and do a proper stacking but the apps stacking after only fifteen minutes is already making me excited for what I can pull out of it with an hour+ integration time.

Now if the clouds and fog stay away long enough for me to get quality subs, I'll be a happy night owl

Edit: cloud bank came rolling in shortly afterwards. Will have better seeing the next few nights so hopefully will be able to get a lot more time to help clear up the noise and improve detail. Fifteen minutes is nowhere near enough
