A lot of people seriously misjudge turkeys as well. They picture the little dog-sized white bastards you see on farms. But out here in the forest our turkeys are 4 ft tall and their back legs are covered with murder spikes ending in feet with 3-inch talons.

Thanks.

Do you happen to know the brand? I’ve been looking for plugs to reduce wind noise without also cancelling out the sound of my motorcycle.

I feel this - I’m often on the other end working with data from clinicians in the field for massive studies. The forms that come in can have an infinite number of possibilities just for noting sex. Enough so that our semantic layer needs a human reviewer because we keep finding new ways field clinicians have of noting this. Now imagine that over the whole gamut of identifiers.

tl:dr - Humans are almost always the problem in data harmonization.

(Almost) All settings if you don’t act like an idiot/creep.

CAN. CONFIRM.

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.

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 ;) )

In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.

And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.

You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.

This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.

We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.

I use one from a random site I googled last year when I was playing with a rope style bubble wand.

* 2 cups Washing Up Liquid (dish soap in the USA my sister-in-law recommends Dawn Dish Soap)
* 1 tablespoon of glycerin
* Few Drops of vegetable oil
* 1 cup Warm Water

I’m no lightologist - But I think the two different colors and inversion is seeing the reflection on the outside of the bubble on one hemisphere, and THROUGH the bubble to the inside surface of the opposite side.

So very cool.

You need to get your brain checked so we can all learn how to think the way you do :)

Check out who runs CNN now and all will become apparent.

Some kind of trefoil. Maybe bird’s foot?
