Honestly that’s part of the fun of it. I love when he reacts to the information incredulously, “What? Is that really it??”

I completely agree. I feel the same way about reptiles.

Bamboo is not a kind of tree in the slightest. It is a kind of grass.

Thank you for all of this information, I very much appreciate it. And great points about all the gotchas… I suppose it’s like an RV – you have all the problems of a house and all the problems of a vehicle, neatly rolled into one :)

Converting to an electric motor is interesting to me (if I understood correctly). I guess I never thought about that as an option, it makes sense on a sailboat for sure – what kind of battery setup does that require? And if you want to be free of shore power for your other electronics, I suppose that also makes a lot of sense.

I think my boat office will remain a dream, but it’s a fun one to entertain.

I’d love to hear more about your (house?)boat! I live near a river and have thought about doing the opposite – using a boat as my office.

That’s good to know. I don’t believe them, but at least they have not gone full-out with it.

I should know, I’ve followed a few!!

This article is a lot of confident statements that are just shy of florid, with only weak anecdotal support, often just a sentence or even a single clause. It feels like the author leaned almost entirely on an LLM to generate it. It’s so very disjointed and bland.

I imagine to do this they’ll be uploading and scanning all of your text messages.

Edit: I was wrong! They say they won’t.

I didn’t know they catch skunks too, very interesting!

Wow, cool! I’d love to see a Boobook in person, what a neat chance. I’ll embark on the journey of learning to appreciate the Barn Owl, thank you for sharing your experience.

What’s your favorite owl these days? I’m partial to great horned owls myself but I also love screech owls… barn owls and their cousin species kind of freak me out, though, something about their faces is beautiful but alien at the same time!

Came here to post this same thing! Hey there fellow Illinoisian 😎

Thank you for the owls, they make my day a little better 🥰

This is a great point. I have another account on a smaller instance, and there I frequently just read everything in the local feed.

It is just dicey, because income can be related to racial factors. Poor areas in many cities are often overwhelmingly non-white. It’s something HR doesn’t want to touch with a ten-foot pole.

I’ve done a bit of hiring and this won’t pass the legal bar (even asking what town someone lives in can be evidence of intentionally trying to find out if the candidate is of “the right stock”), but I also rather like envisioning a comedy scene of someone trying to use toilets as a sneaky determinant 😆 Very Monty Python.

I’ll have you know it was a utility sink so it doesn’t count!! 🙃

“Oh, beans” is a good one for replacing the “I screwed up” meaning of"damn it".
