@FireMonkey Yeah, can be. Mine was glued to me, rode on my shoulders/head. It tamed a 75lb dog -- bit on the neck and chased it -- and then they were best buddies. Could jump onto the roof, which could be a problem. Liked puzzles and chase games. Otherwise though, very chill.

I haven’t been shy about saying that Elon Musk is an antisemite. I think it’s time to upgrade his classification: Nazi...Every single one of my ancestral alarm bells have been set off, just as they were when then-candidate Trump shared a meme in 2016 from a far right account showing Hillary Clinton with a Star of David and stacks of cash. ... If we choose to ignore it, we do so at our own peril.

@FireMonkey sure thought that looked like a California Bengal. Had one, was the best dog ever.

@WeThePeople gonna let him know he's got a posse

@northernbassist @Stonekettle has that in profile. Incredibly cool.
One those knocked me in the head but it was probably my fault. No hard feelings.

@BosmangBeratna beautimous

@sentientdessert okay but write some wrappers

@altamaha wow. Helluva story.
And yeah, "As many countries endure food insecurity – exacerbated by the war in Ukraine – the US has stepped up to meet the increased global need "
USA has _got_ to grow more people food and less livestock feed. For any number of reasons. The Ag subsidies create nothing but perverse incentives afaict.

@Brisse built most of a deck.

@corlin @gshevlin ...or a prop gun. No reason to take that person at his word/picture.

Epic Games cutting 800+ jobs is bizarre. They make the most popular game in this galaxy. How about fire the CEO.

@wideeyedcurious reading... looks like they're digging in to a phenomenon I've seen: pine trees making clouds (of VOCs... :/ )when exposed to ozone, hence the Great Smoky Mountains: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/sensing-our-planet/volatile-trees

@sfleetucker He has the best back story of any of them.

@Stonekettle Hey these are great! You have skills and _lenses_. I don't want to know how you got those wasp pictures.

So in today's Eternal Waffle Quest I subbed in crystallized honey for sugar and sprinkled shredded coconut on them before closing the iron.

Yep. Yep yep yep.

@LaurelGreen Sorry if I'm belaboring this but I got interested. SO: Inkscape's builtin Path tools include Trace Bitmap, and that did pretty well I think on this image. Lots of settings options to try, I kept the defaults.
Eye close-up showing the nodes:

@redenigma yeah! it's the best. I saw it in roadside stands throughout New Hampshire and Vermont.

@LaurelGreen Okay, I see that the better option (sticking with open source) is an Inkscape autotrace extension. Makes sense because Inkscape is the vector tool. I'll play with it.
