I just realized that we’re talking about two different nettles. I looked up yours, I didn’t know you could eat those! I will have to try it. I’m talking about stinging nettles. They are just coming up at home, next weekend will be perfect for harvesting. I like to steam them, then form them into logs on a baking sheet and freeze them. Save the steaming water for stock too.

I think it looks lovely. Good idea with the nettle pesto, going to try that this weekend!

Well, I’ve been in and around the water my whole life. I don’t remember not knowing how to swim, worked on boats for 30 years, and live on an island haha. Of all the elements or parts of nature there are, that’s draws me in the most.

Exactly

I’d be a Time Lord for sure, does that count? If not then I say a witch too. Specifically one connected to the sea.

That very well could be regional. Are you near Baltimore? I grew up around DC, but mostly in Annapolis, and I’ve always said it like cen-tar

Edit - I agree with the person below, your brain probably decided that’s how it was pronounced at a young age. There’s a bunch of words I’ve read but never say out loud because I know I will say them wrong! I should just own them, there’s too many great words out there!

You know, I don’t know why I’m surprised, it’s so on brand for him. Thank you for the detailed response!

One of my favourite books is World Made By Hand by James Kunstler. It’s a lot like Station Eleven in its a post apocalyptic setting, and how the people that are left are getting by with what they have. Apparently it’s a series of books now too, I just discovered that when I looked it up to get the authors name right, so now I’ve got more to read in that world, yay!

Thanks for asking this question, I’ve added a bunch to my reading list!

Wait, what?? I did not know that. Like never? What the fuck does he do all day?? For years???

I’m also very new to doing any type of programming, and also don’t remember things from last week lol. I use Kate, it’s from KDE which is from the Linux world but works on windows! They have some other good programs that also work on windows (and Mac too I think!) if you’re trying to extract yourself from there. I don’t know python very well so don’t know if Kate is the best choice compared to PyCharm for your use case, but might be a good allrounder.

I definitely have wanted to but wasn’t sure if I should since no one else had. I should have just done it.

I’ll second Vivaldi! There’s no other browser with that kind of tab and workspace management. It’s how my brain works. The mobile app is great too with tab groups and the sync between the two is fast. I keep Librewolf on my laptop as well for the odd website that only likes FF.

I see you’re from Iowa so probably not familiar with a lot of our news. Here are a few links to recent land and governance transfers, and modern treaties in BC. As I live here these are the ones I know about, there are probably more in other provinces. While there is still so much to be done, these are excellent starts. Cheers

I loved that movie so much! It’s been a while, should watch it again.

Victoria BC, and surrounding areas. The Sooke reservoir has some of the best water in the world!

Styx, black (named after one of Plutos moons, not the 80s band)

• Stixer
• Stixie

Diesel, orange (named in memory of my friends cat)

• Dieseler
• Dieselkins

Together they are Dieselbub and the Prince of Darkness. They are brothers from the same litter and we love them very much.

Edit: Gah! I just went upstairs and they’re being adorable

It is paranoid, but honestly, I’ve thought the same. I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere for awhile in any case, except maybe Greenland! Always wanted to go there.

Absolutely you can. I can get a direct flight from Vancouver Island to Mexico, but usually transfer in Van. I’ve seen direct flights from Calgary as well.

Let me give you this good advice, I’m not using it.
