things getting interesting "Out There[tm]!" on slashdot "An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me"

so far i can only come up with recommendations on what not to plant (no blueberries or other berry plants). i was thinking thyme or rosemary, but those are more arid loving plants and may not do well where you are located. hmm... i've not had to think much about plants of this type in a long...

i went back to sleep after breakfast and then pretended to sleep for a while longer because i didn't want to get up and clean. then i decided that was silly and i was going to do something else today, which i've accomplished, so that helps. :) no coffee required.

does she obey "sit" and "stay" ?

to independently verify where various plants might have been you can sometimes get sedimentation cores from any lakes that may have been in an area and then look for pollen. in an arid region this may be a challenge, but still something to consider if "you are in the field". The Dead Sea being...

solid ice may take a bit longer to melt than snow. when i lived up north the shoreline of Lake Superior would build up piles of ice that could stick around into the summer months. one time kayaking along the shore there were piles of ice still melting under some trees on the 4th of July.

we have freezing fog in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning.

yes. i'm sure they were magnificent and terrifyingly beautiful...

in compacted clay my beans don't often get extra large. i'm pretty sure it was about the same size as the others i grew in rows next to it (i grew four rows right next to each other to do the comparison, Purple Dove, Purple Rain, Purple Diamond and Purple Rose). Purple Dove also can do that...

a smart guy and another of my heroes. :) he wrote about worms too... :)

all this warm weather is going to melt all the snow (which isn't much at this point but at least it is white and bright instead of gray, brown and bits of green...). and speaking of bits of green there are bits of green all over the place from the deer eating the cedar trees and digging down...

yes, i've grown Chaska Purple and Purple Rain (and others). the reverse dark purple seed coat i have also have showing up in the Purple Dove beans, but it has shown up in others that seem related but are still different enough to be considered different varieties. Chaska Purple i have down as...

wow @Artorius that sounds like a difficult season for sure. i hope this coming season is much better! i grew this one a few years ago. my notes said the seeds were bigger than Purple Dove, but i would not want to accidentally get them mixed together as they do look a lot alike. :) pretty...

i had to do a double take there for a moment as this is TEG. :) but yes, welcome to TEG from mid-Michigan.

sexual reproduction is very ancient. it adds complexity and increases diversity. yes! very interesting angles i'd not heard of before.

40sF this weekend and up to 50F by this coming Wednesday. in February?! eek!

hmm, well, we use instant coffee so no grounds, we don't normally cook vegetables in a lot of water and we don't rinse rice. our blights and fungi kill off the weaklings (ok, i'm just making that one up :) ), we have bacterial spot issues here or there, i'm not too worried about them being...

while i love both cats and dogs i still want to always inject a moment of caution because what can happen with any well trained pet is what also happens with humans - sometimes they go nuts. so to me they (animals as pets and also people in general) should pretty much never be left alone with...

it's incredible that some of us as kids probably drew some things that looked a lot like that... so that just goes to show that almost every child has that sort of potential and why each of us is precious. ok, now that i have that hallmark card moment written down we can get down to brass...

ok, i don't usually post links to videos but this is a really good presentation of how primates (which we are one of) might have come about. really interesting potential tie-in at the end you may enjoy as a bit of a surprise, but i won't give it away... :)
