Soursop is delicious. I got to try one on an abandoned beach in Costa Rica, and my mind was blown. It reminded me of delicious sour candy, but somehow fully organic and juicy. That was probably 15+ years ago, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Any updates a year later? :)

Far too many to list, but biking, mountain biking, owls, aquariums, gardening, amateur radio, and positive news, among others like NY Times Gift articles (also a sub)

Thank you! I believe it's a Western maidenhair (Adiantum aleuticum). They are hardy enough to survive snow.

They grow quite well in this climate, even in pots. After a year or two of getting established, they create massive root systems and then become gigantic like this one :)

800 million dollars? They raised $800,000,000 and it's still in alpha? What the fuck.

Also, I hate the trend of content such as ships releasing as a paid DLC, then later as an in-game grind. In the olden days, the ships were free in games like Elite. The only thing that cost money was actual DLC expansions. That trend was probably spearheaded by star citizen devs :p

I dunno how many people you have, but Cribbage with a group is actually a ton of fun. We would do groups of four with coworkers after work at a local pub. If we had too many people, we'd alternate groups each game.

Thank you! Good luck to you too :)

I've started noticing that I'm echoing some of the bad habits of my father, either behaviorally or genetically, I'm not sure which. I'm determined to never go down that path because I've seen what it's done to our family. I've made some changes that will hopefully head that off. If those don't help, there's always professional help.

Still, depressing to realize.

Apparently, the large gaps in stall doors. 22ish years later, a number of places around my region are finally installing stalls and floor to ceiling walls without gaps. Making eye contact while taking a shit was always awkward AF.

Pour one out for America and Ukraine, and the Middle East in general. And Taiwan.

Europe and Asia, you guys better get your shit together, we might be out of this one permanently. Or we might have a very long recovery time spanning decades. Such fucking bullshit.

This is literally why we have apex predators such as wolves. They help clamp down on the old and the sick so that prions (mad cow disease) does not spread to other species or humans. It cannot infect wolves.

When you kill off all the apex predators, like when Montana governor Greg Gianforte authorized the massacre of 100 wolves, you see explosions of extremely dangerous diseases and land degradation as deer damage tree roots, gardens, meadows, streams, and farms.

Not only that, but killing members of wolf packs causes their families to fall apart and everyone to scatter. That means wolves alone. Which cannot hunt pack animals which require coordination. So then they go after the easiest meal: dumbass farm animals who have zero survival instincts and whose ranchers no longer employ people to look after the herds in great enough numbers like the olden days. The cycle then perpetuates, as mad-cow contaminated soils spread and spread....

Oh god, the poor person who shat themselves into the international headlines. That's one for the books. Poor bastard.
