I have never seen that before. One of the squirrels is laying down on the top of our fence, with one.. paw? leg? hanging down. Just like cats do lol

@gdinwiddie I do the same. Also uMatrix. That reminds me, I should export my settings.

A good news medical toot, for once.

Follow-up lab test results came back and… I don’t have diabetes.

I’m not even pre-diabetic.

The earlier test results were a blip.

I can breathe easy about that one.

I've used for my day-to-day work for a good 35yrs. I've had a couple of brief clusters of years where I had to use a Windows at work (but still had MacOS at home).

I've installed on many old machines to extend their lives a bit, sorting through distros, finding one that would work on limited resources with good results. Fun stuff.

But I'm curious to ask a QUESTION about new computer purchases…

@ottaross @governa +1 for System76 here. I've had (still have) a great machine from them, with great support.

I had this night chase some bugs at 1am. Is this a night hawk? It doesn't fly or look like a bat.

Edit to add a picture of a night hawk. Maybe it is a night hawk.

@johnefrancis @human3500 They definitely make a weird noise

The topic of first concerts we saw came up today and I was floored to realize that today is the thirtieth anniversary of my seeing Pink Floyd in concert at the Big O (Olympic stadium) in Montreal.

What a band to see live. And really set expectations way too high for other concerts.

What was your first concert?

Nerdfest,
@Nerdfest@mastodon.online avatar

@WTL I saw The Cars at the Ex on their Candy-O tour. I think the Motels opened.

Taking great delight in replacing Windoze 11 on my laptop with Kubuntu. I have half a dozen other computers running a mix of Linux and Windows 10. I will see how Davinci Resolve runs under Kubuntu.

@VA3CME I'm a big Kubuntu fan. Good luck with your install!

What the frig is wrong with some people?

Bloody rage-a-holics mad at the world and totally nuts.

Road rage. Raging at service workers and retail clerks. Raging at unhoused people. Raging at recycling bins.

Now I guess goslings are too “woke” and it’s animal cruelty that’s all the new “rage.”

I hope they throw the book at this uncivilized dumbcluck.

My brain just puts the n in whenever I read "a historic" I'm not even sure which way I say it. Obviously the n is not necessary as we pronounce the h here, so I think I, at least sometimes, say "a historic" but my brain 100% thinks it should be written "an historic" and just subs it right in so I read it as "an historic" regardless of how it's written.

Nerdfest,
@Nerdfest@mastodon.online avatar

@mariellequinton I write it the same as I hay it (with an 'h'). I find it almost jarring sometimes when reading when I come across "an historic" ... but only sometimes. Very strange

Merlin might be my favourite app ever. Just sitting outside, learning the songs of all the birds visiting us. It's the little things!

Also a bee is enjoying the little wood raft (.. it's just a branch) I added into the pie dish that I fill with water lol!

@Nerdfest@mastodon.online avatar

@stephanie My spouse puts stones into out water dish for better access for the bees. The stick is a great addition

Someone here had a very cool Fringe planner posted last year. Anyone have a link?

@Nerdfest@mastodon.online avatar

Found it! Not updated for this year yet though.

#Yay - the first rhubarb harvest of the year. It's so tasty.

We regretted not maximizing our rhubarb desserts last year, so will try to harvest the bejezus out of the plant this year.

@ottaross We've had a good harvest already this year as well. It's important to get the stalks before they turn into potential building material.

Back on the Gatineau Park shuttle.

@ladybugspicnic @shawngettler I saw a brown bear there once, but it was from quite a distance. The bear was in an open plain below the road. They can really move too.

@YurkshireLad @stephanie Me too. My dad is still the master. I'll pay one of these days.

I live 300m from a hardware store and from an open air market. It’s time I owned a wagon.

@jleiper That looks like an excellent wagon
