@czarbucks @firefly @AE4WX @amyedge @ai6yr @Jennifer Good morning from the Glen! Doors and windows open, Fat Squirrel No 1 on the rail with tiny finches and flity titmice taking advantage of open rail space. Laundry was finally completed yesterday and I can still walk this morning - wohoo! Today some more Family pics go up on the wall, and major sweeping/dusting event will commence. If I trust the hip enough, I’ll start in on the pile of cardboard boxes to cut up and go into the recycling. Hope everyone has a GREAT Friday!

“ has further increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels, a confidential report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said Monday.

Iran now has 142.1 kilograms (313.2 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60% — an increase of 20.6 kilograms (45.4 pounds) since the last report in February. Uranium enriched at 60% purity is just a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%”

It took an hour to read just the replies to my photo-post from yesterday, and I still don't have the time to reply to all of you. So sorry.

Time to get ready for the drive.

Thank you ALL for the good wishes. I love reading every post.

Off to Oregon. I'll post alerts as they come in, when I can.

China is stepping up threats to Taiwan & a blockade would endanger trillions of dollars to global GDP. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-05-25/bloomberg-new-economy-china-blockade-simulation-raises-5-trillion-risk

@KimPerales What news outlet/source is providing the best coverage on China and Taiwan?

amyedge,
@amyedge@toad.social avatar

@KimPerales It seems the foreign sources are starting to pick it up. But, not much.

amyedge,
@amyedge@toad.social avatar

@KimPerales I've wondered what would happen if China did a partial blockade. I hope someone has war gamed that scenario.

So here's how it's going:

We got all the furniture into the POD and now have to pack what's remaining in the kitchen. So things are a little messy

Our twins are down from Canada helping, & their dear friend is here for the night from San Diego, to see them. We adore her. But it's a little chaotic

At 4:30 am we get a text--coincidentally we're awake--from our pal/realtor! We'd missed her earlier text, we have a showing today at 12:30. Oy. & why was SHE up?

Scramble time

Just a normal day

And, I'm ashamed to say that it never occurred to me that they would target farmland. Maybe huge ranches or 1000s of acres, but in the mountains of NC?

Southern Florida once again has "EXTREME" Heat Risk today 5/18/24.

Extreme - This level of rare and/or long-duration extreme heat with little to no overnight relief affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Impacts likely in most health systems, heat-sensitive industries and infrastructure.

Incredible. I wonder what the strain is on the grid for that type of heat this early in the summer.

I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.

He only has one ear, so he makes it count for communicating. I don't know what happened to the other one. He's a rescue. I call this move giving "the ear". #dogsofmastodon #dogs #rescuedogs #happy

@czarbucks @firefly @amyedge @AE4WX @Jennifer @ai6yr Good morning! Another nasty tornado/flash flood night in the plains. Am off severe weather today to get house stuff done. Squirrel circus was waiting for me this morning and are happy I have the doors shut against the heat that’s ramping up. Have a GOOD Monday!

Hi from Functioning-WiFi Laffy!

Pro tip: You don’t need to use NFL (Not For Laffy) on days when I’m not live-posting trial threads.

NFL is only applicable when I need to skip your replies (they pile up enormously even on non-trial and slow days), but no need to extend that courtesy on non-proceedings days.

And thanks again for being considerate enough to use it when I need you to. It really helps.

Kthxbye.

@GottaLaff We appreciate you! Especially those of us who are working and can peek at a thread and catch up.
