One of my favorite Wardruna albums is no longer available on Spotify for some reason and this is exactly the thing I've been talking about. I can still see the songs in my Playlist, but they're grayed out and unselectable. So I've paid for a thing that has now been taken away from me with no notice and no compensation.

Why do all truck commercials sound like Lumberjack Poetry?

Two quick things and I'll leave you alone;

1. There is no position that a human can achieve through stretching, yoga or any other physical pursuit that makes it possible for you to clean the inside of the windshield of your car well and comfortably.

2. Your pasta fork is the best back scratcher ever invented.

Thanks for your time.

Canon 180mm macro, on a tripod with a remote switch, I'm loving this hunk of glass!

A super close focus of the hairs on a purple flower.
A purple flower nestled in among other purple blossoms
Yet another flower, this one yellow of all things and it's shown against a clear, blue sky too! What the heck!!

Today I tried working with f stop and a sprinkler. 3.2 is pretty as is 32 but 14 was kind of ugly so I didn't post it.

Okay fine, I don't NEED an EF 180mm 1:3.5 L but it does take pretty pictures of tiny flowers!

A different focus length of a blue flower is shown, you can see the texture of the petals!

Apparently there's an ant war going on in my yard! 3mm or so in size there are clearly two types of ants going at it, I thought it was one group gathering food but nope, that's a war! Also that's what a Canon 180mm L macro lens can do in terms of depth, I can follow one tiny ant as it runs about using the focal ring only. The pic on the bottom has the two ants fighting but it's focused a couple of millimeters past them, the one on top brings them into focus.

Two tiny ants are fighting but out of focus, in the background are dead ant bodies!!

If you enjoyed Kill Bill and other #Tarantino films or #JohnWick then you may enjoy #Sisu

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt14846026/

It was a blast I have to say, nothing realistic about it and the protagonist apparently can't be killed but it's hyperbolic violence becomes comedic pretty early on and carries the show nicely.

If you like that sort of a bloody mess of course!

How have I managed to miss knowing anything about #AdaLovelace? Come on, I have a newspaper discussing #Tamboro hanging on my wall and Ada is Lord Byron's kid so I should have picked up on her at some point because of Frankenstein right? I am remiss my studies.

If you're the person who designed the charting function in Excel please never tell me because I really don't want to have to come to your home and kick you in the crotch over and over and over.
That is all, thank you.

Thanks to @pluralistic we can now refer to a group of conservatives as a pathology of conservatives. A murder of crows, a herd of buffalo, a crash of rhinos and now a Pathology of Conservatives.

Excellent work, make it stick everyone!

My daughter brought home her stuff from college, yes, that's her being eaten by seagulls and the texture is sewn on beads. It's 5 feet tall, where can I possibly hang it

A poem written by my daughter is shown, it's kind of long to type out

mycotropic, 24 days ago to photography

180mm macro, most at 3.5. get ready to be incredibly bored by rose shots though, once this bush wakes up we have hundreds and hundreds!

#Photography #Bloomscrolling

A poppy bud is shown, it's not open yet but I think I'm seeing red in there
Heck if I know, it's a lovely purple flower closeup but I don't know what it is
Purple comfrey flower is shown, again a macro shot, nice purple color though

Made in 1979, Akalabeth: World of Doom is the oldest PC game I own. It was made by Richard Garriott (a.k.a., Lord British), and it was the precursor to Ultima.

Even though the copy I own runs on DOS, this wasn’t actually ported to DOS until 1998. It originally ran on the Apple II, and it looks better on Apple II – since it runs with colour graphics. Meanwhile, the DOS version is stuck in black and white.

Isn’t that bizarre? In 1998, DOS was capable of running 3D graphics with hardware acceleration. And yet, the DOS port of Akalabeth didn’t even have colour.

Despite the looks, Akalabeth is extremely playable today. Mostly, this is because almost everything still present in RPGs is present in this early, early precursor. If you’ve played Final Fantasy, Elder Scrolls, or really anything with RPG characteristics, Akalabeth will feel familiar to you.

Another thing I find fascinating, though, is how once you enter a dungeon, there’s a lot that happens. You can explore rooms, collect loot, battle monsters. It’s impressive for such an old game!

Akalabeth is now FREE on GOG.com. I recommend picking it up:
