Heck yeah, I’ve been trying to post both here and on a couple of my communities at .world. I’ve mostly been going through my old, never-posted photos for some good OC, but think I might also start scavenging my ex-reddit account. Anything for content and to keep up the momentum!

Just a rock-licker who loves all things sci-fi, boardgames, and growing my own food, especially heirloom tomatoes.

Environment@beehaw.org•Billions of snow crab are missing. A remote Alaskan village depends on the harvest to survive.
1·2 years agoAn excellent read, and I was glad to hear that the community had been smart and saved/invested profits from the crab harvest during the bountiful years. Hopefully they’re able to pivot their economy to be more diverse and secure.
Ugh, I’ll be on the venting side. I drew the short straw and had to do two weeks of night shifts (and I’m a early bird, NOT a night owl). I slept nearly 40 out of the 48 hours last weekend, and I expect I’ll do the same this weekend.

3·3 years agoThe little moth buddy I posted about was really fun. There’s been a surprising amount of interesting bugs where I’ve been working the past couple weeks, last night one of my coworkers spotted something that looked like a cross between a spider and a cricket, which I’ve yet to be able to identify.
I agree. I’m not one of the silly purists that populate r/grilledcheese, other ingredients can go great in a grilled cheese, as long as the cheese is still the star of the show.
Ooooh them’s fighting words. Have you tried a burger with a homegrown tomato? Pretty night and day, might just change your mind.

Good to know, I’ve edited my latest post to add description text.
One of the things I appreciate about the internet is the exposure to views different from my own. Though I don’t agree with many of this author’s points, it is interesting to see their perspective.
I think the comment by Rididill does a fair job of dissecting the post, and is worth a read in it’s rebuttal.

If it’s truly tasteless and dissolves completely in water, yet can bind like eggs, that opens up a huge range of applications. Really hope they’re able to scale up production.
