First one’s my (in my opinion) poor attempt at maintaining some sense of gradient depths.

I kept seeing patterns and projects for Tunisian crochet, as I am new to crochet still I was hesitant to try but really wanted to give it a whirl.

And knowing Covid’s, it’ll find a way!

The other day a mod on Hexbear told me that “now is the time for monsters” referred to “what we must become during the revolution.” I was like no, its about old people

Recently installed OpenBSD thanks to this comm. Tried to recreate one of my favorite scenes.

Nothing fancy; honey mustard (we ran out of stone-ground) on the bottom, followed by baby spinach, some braunschweiger, tomatoes, and garlic & herb goat cheese on the top. Probably could’ve used more spinach, I think.

It was still too cold to hunt this morning when I spotted it. It did have an eye on a bird feeder in case a dove got too careless.

300+ hours in Nightreign, prob 200+ on one character: Executor. Generally, the worst character in the game. Low HP, low damage resistance, low damage except for status procs. If you go in unga bunga you will die, you will suck. Has a special ability called suncatcher that looks very flashy but itself does almost little damage.

My husband and a neighborhood friend like to alternate who’s house they smoke at and my husband asked for a bag for his long gandalf pipe to safely transport it.

Having so much fun with this thing

happy new year 🎉

Part of a response I received in a thread on .ml

I tried searching for answers as to why these machines are reaching out to numerous locations despite not using PrusaConnect. Location lookup returns the expected Czech, as well as location across the US. I recently also set a friend up with with an Elegoo printer and that was expectedly noisy as hell, but I was surprised with Prusa being the ‘privacy pick’.

A beautiful splash of red and orange on my rather white current conditions. A poisonous fruit to us but a vital food source for winter birds. There just so happened to be a family of black-capped chickadees nearby.

The other day I spotted some blood by my favorite public bird feeder. I think I found the culprit. At first I thought this juvenile bobcat was a squirrel as there were damn near 100 scurrying around me, until I noticed those piercing eyes. She wasn’t much larger than some of the fatter squirrels. It was absolutely adorable watching her practice stalking her prey unsuccessfully.

My contribution to football Sunday. These puffs are even better than Little Caesars and only a fraction of the cost ($1.61 per person). 24 puffs for $9.68!

Lots of squirrel activity today on my walk. I liked this photo the most. Squirrel friend has a little snow on his nose.

Central Ohio doesn’t have any ocean or Great Lakes coast, but we do have some nice bodies of water for shore birds, gulls, and migrating ducks. We’ve had two eared grebes the past week-ish, unusual for our area. They’re adorable!

So long story short here: I’m using AI to write this Nginx Proxy Manager advanced config for Jellyfin because I’ve been having lots of issues with videos starting and stopping. Am I stupid? Any advice would be welcome!

I’m having a rather shit day, so I decided to cook something nice for myself. T-bone steaks were on sale for $4.99/lb at a local grocer and I had some left over mashed potatoes. I threw a little flour and garlic powder into the potatoes to make a sort of latke, fried up a couple of eggs over easy, and made some toast.

The sun was setting and I was walking home from an unsuccessful photoshoot when I spotted this cute squirrel snacking on an apple.

Fortunately she only got her coat singed so no real harm was done. My apartment smelled like burnt hair all morning, but i now feel very vindicated in yelling at them everytime they jump onto the stove. In her defense, i have been out of town all week and she was very excited for her breakfast this morning,as normally it is my tortie that i am normally yelling at to not jump onto the stove. She likely has some radiation burns on her left side, but she wasn’t on fire after running off and seems fine now.

I was in the middle of making dinner when this happened. I’m grateful I poured it into a measuring cup first. Thankfully I don’t live too far from another source.

I’m on peertube.wtf. It works normally on a desktop browser but on mobile the thumbnails are all broken in the Peertube app. Is there a setting I’m missing?

Hey All, this fall I’ve been putting some Cinnamon in my coffee and enjoyed it so far. What other spices or combos have you tried and liked? Anyone sell specific spice blends?

I have fond memories of my father playing this album on his old record player as I’d pore over this awesome album art. The album art was created by Alan Aldridge.

Niniane was the sweetest little kitten when i got her, but became very aloof and distant when i moved apartments this spring. Now that the weather has cooled, she is as cuddly as ever, climbing on my chest and purring away whenever she can.

I had recently made a batch of apple butter and wanted to try making something with it. Some friends wanted to cook out so I decided why not bring some apple butter bread. The taste is close to banana or zucchini bread. Delicious, would recommend.

I didn’t do the Charcuterie though

I like how the goldenrods are changing for the season. We’re definitely knee-deep in autumn now. Location: Midwest USA

Sorry y’all I forgot this community existed 😭 so much on my mind… will likely pop in less frequently now…

Any experienced birders know if this is a Song or Savannah Sparrow?

My city leaves the grass next to a river bank long and thousands of grasshoppers live there. It seems a little late in the year to copulate, but that isn’t stopping this couple.

Mallards males have always been one of my favorites. That emerald green is so beautiful.
