I actually have your book already, I didn't realise that till you replied there. I bought it to trying and research a weird little gargoyle figurine I couldn't name, but I think I've decided it's Koschei the Deathless, but you got a sale anyway 😀

At least since The Canterbury Tales, the setting of the medieval tavern has held out the promise of adventure. For their customer base during the actual Middle Ages, however, they had more utilitarian virtues.Colin Marshall (Openculture.com)

Ever since we introduced Beau to the cat-related YouTube channels on the smart TV, he regularly jumps up in my lap when I'm on the computer, peers intently at the screen for a few seconds, then hops away, to make sure I'm not secretly watching birds without him.
I feel like there's a trust issue here that we need to resolve.

Rufous-gorgeted Flycatcher
A bold little flycatcher of mid- to high-altitude forests with a flashing black-and-white tail. Male is brown above with a black face, white eyebrow, and orange throat patch (gorget). The female is essentially a faded version of the male with a dark gray face and a pale, largely unnoticeable gorget. Usually perches at middle levels, sallying from its perch to catch flying insects. Often joins mixed-species feeding flocks.

Love reading the “what to plan in February” posts from people who live in far warmer regions than I.
Like sorry, the last frost date around here is late May. There will be nothing going in the outside ground in February, unless it needs cold stratification.

Sonnet 043 - XLIII
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.

What i do not like with such types of analysis is that they do not compare one technology with alternatives. If you take the life-time energy balance, recyclability, accumulative polution during exploitation, maintenance, etc. one could easily calculate that PVs are at least 70% better than coal plants.
BTW, the same is true about the EV vs. inner combustion vehicles discussion.

The #ChandrasekharLimit is the maximum mass of a white dwarf star, approximately 1.4 times the mass of the Sun.
Beyond this limit, the star's core can no longer support itself against gravitational collapse, leading to the formation of a #NeutronStar or #BlackHole.

Black-chested Fruiteater
Scarce fruiteater found in cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes in Ecuador, southern Colombia, and northern Peru. Male has a solid black hood that is not bordered by yellow on the neck. Female is mostly green with yellow streaking on her belly. Yellow eyes and dark legs are also useful features in both sexes to separate them from similar species. Feeds on berries at middle to upper levels in the forest. Gives very high-pitched whistles, some very short and others long and drawn out.

I love my little indoor garden. In my isolated life, my plants are my only tactile contact with other living things; they're good for my spirits and mental health.
However, I'm not producing food in meaningful quantities. It's a joy-giving hobby, nothing more.
If anyone has successful set up indoor gardens to produce significant amounts of food, I would love to hear about what you're doing. My stress would be lower with a bit more food independence.

They put together a "set it and forget it" lettuce bin using the Kratky method and detailed everything - from assembly to "harvest point", in a thread here: infosec.exchange/@tinker/11216…

@enqfila - Let me know if you need any help. I've got lettuce and leafy greens and herbs down. I'm currently building out some simple snap pea and similar builds. I have plans for fruit bearing, tomatoes, and peppers, etc., but have not bought the the float valves yet.
