,

Relax , your anxious feelings are understandable but we will continue to provide the best television experience the world has ever seen.

Faster I said !

God bless those European MF’rs

That might work if the fine was say $1.5 B

Mini disc is what i always heard. Nobody knows what the hell they are anyway

I found a VHS player at a second hand shop and got into buying and watching VHS before the pandemic and it was actually relaxing. Even with DVD/Blu ray I can’t get as immersed as I was with watching VHS. I would know that at night I was going to watch D.A.R.Y.L and just kick back and not get off the couch. It was a whole thing…power surge fried my player and haven’t found another one yet

Physical media is the way

😭 not again

I don’t live in Canada, here from " random community ".

Fuck road salt! They know when they need to use it but spray that stuff all over the roads in my state at a hint of snow. Piles of it sitting next to a stream and then we don’t even get snow, just rain, it’s insane. They used to use a mix that was far more sand than salt in it until the late 90’s (maybe even early 2k) and it worked just fine people got where they needed to go. Now with more cars having AWD they should need it less but now it is just straight up 100% salt crystal. It rots out cars and destroys the environment.

I stopped and talked to a worker for USGS (United Stated Geological Survey) and asked them what they monitor at a station down the street from my house at a small stream , i figured it was fertilizers or petroleum/ chems from surrounding suburban sprawl or a major 4 lane road that crosses a few miles upstream. They told me “salinity”. It’s from the road salt and they monitor it so they know how bad it is, nothing else.

The stream is a feeder creek to a secondary larger stream that feeds a river than a bay. I used to fish the secondary and walk my dog along it a few times a week and it got way worse over the course of 20 years that I was actively fishing.

They really need to be more judicious with the amount of that junk they put down as most of it is wasted and seems to do more harm than good.

There are rural areas near me that have stations for distribution of the salt and people I know who live there have poisoned wells and received a one time offer of $25k to replace damaged plumbing. The problem is even if they install a reverse osmosis system over the long term they still lose money.

Zen mind, Beginners mind

Do you have 🗿 here?

I’m a little older and while all my buddies were on the internet in the early days it didn’t interest me but I was well aware of how it functioned.

I was a reddit lurker back when it was cool and a place to gain knowledge (depending on the sub) then a few years back finally becoming a user until the last couple years seeing it really go down hill fast turning into a typical " social media platform"

Leemy gives me a sense of nostalgia for something I missed out on in the past. …And I don’t feel like an asshole scrolling in my spare time

Thanks for the links ! Good info for a newbie like me ✌️

Heck yeah analog is cool ! Once I realized there were several editions I began a quest to get them all. I’m a hoarder.

That is amazing what those apps can do . Friends have the plant and constellation identifiers and they are fun to mess with. They scare me though 🤣

Happy Ishtar !

I mean happy Easter not the pagan orgy holiday represented by eggs and rabbits etc that we all participate in for some reason

I have not , my sister has an app like that , possibly the same one , I’ll have to ask her about it.

My father is pretty good with bird identification and would always point them out on walks in the woods.

I got hooked on field guides after getting a few as a kid for birthdays etc. I’ve collected several editions of Petersons and National Audubon field guides . I highly recommend both . NA has actual pictures but Peterson’s have rendered images of the birds in flight, their seasonal plumage and are a bit more comprehensive .

That would have been a memorable experience ! Nature kicks ass ! I too am a fan of blue birds of all kinds. Im lucky enough to have dozens of bluebirds, quite a few indigo bunting and a whole mess of Bluejays flying around my home. A few other notable birds I get to see regularly are piliated woodpeckers ( the big woody woodpecker types) , yellow flickers and my personal favorite ( which really arent that special but theyre my #1 for their personality alone) the Carolina wren.

Wish I wouldn’t have seen the blue shitbird though

No

I was looking at a car this guy was selling , we’re standing there talking about a price and this amazing blue dove lands a few feet away. It’s was fucking saphire blue.

The guy selling the car looks at me and says “wooooah I’ve never seen a blue bird like that before”. He was blown away.

I said “are you sure buddy because there’s a port a John business right around the corner and that bird has been swimming in one of the shit houses”

I did not buy the car
