It turns out the secret to getting The Domestic Partner to watch #cooking shows is to watch the ones on #Outdoor Network where they go catch a #fish / #duck / whatever in the first act and then spend the rest of the show cooking it in different ways.

Some fisherman guy shows you how to cook the fish he caught: [rapt attention] 😆
A small selection of the pictures from Sunday's dive near Ammouliani with @vivia. First dive of the year but it was already surprisingly warm! 23°C and sunny, 18°C surface water temperature and still 16°C at 25m depth. We saw a lot of interesting animals.
Featuring: a yellow nudibranch (phyllidia flava) grazing on seaweed next to red finger sponge, a painted comber swimming on top of rocks covered with some black sponge, a biscuit sea star in a little cave surrounded by colorful sponges, and in the top-left a nudibranch ("sea cow", peltodoris atromaculata) and some yellow sea anemones, and last but not least two starfishes, one red one with five arms and another orange one that once had six arms plus some bonus mermaid's cup at the bottom.
I want bash scripts, but with conveniences and lightweight dependencies that can be inlined.
Imagine a "direnv-like" standard library of functions, alongside the ability to fetch-if-not-installed certain binaries, and maybe even a super simple module system.
Then, you bake the script, and it becomes a single file bash script.
To be clear, I want to write it in bash, and have it turn into "bash that I can curl".
Pretty shure this would require either a derivative language [i.e. "enhanced bash" / "ebash"] or require some preprocessor approach like #Blitz [#BASIC] and #Sass [#TypeScript]...
First #mermay of 2023: Red Bellied Piranha Mermaid.

Artwork for #throwbackthursday. This is the first painting I completed in spring 2020. Inspired by #Monterey Bay Aquarium, I loved working in vibrant colors and detail. It cheered me up to have this project in the early days of the pandemic. Also the first painting I put in my #society6 shop.
325 dams and weirs were removed in 16 European countries in 2022, with Spain, Sweden, and France leading the way. Removing dams and barriers improves fish passage and enhances aquatic habitat and water quality. Keep up the great work, dam busters!

This one came out iffy but it's mostly my fault. I didn't want this one (missed the chance to pick)
Should have trimmed the green beans better, I added potato water back and shouldn't have, but it tastes good so who cares. I already put some of the potatoes in a tub so it looks unbalanced
The broccoli wasn't very good, I prefer it raw and I cooked it so late it's starting to go bad I think.
But the salmon! Fantastic, seasoned just right.
The broccoli is kind of a joke anyway, just buy some lemons and broccoli locally, that's all it is plus some spices (which tasted better on the salmon)
Watercolor octopus. Have you ever watched the Netflix movie "My Octopus Teacher?" If not, I strongly encourage you to do so. Such a beautiful portrait of man and octopus becoming friends. I'll warn you though, you may cry at the end.
Went to the #sealife centre #birmingham today, definitely needs a redesign but the fish, penguins and otters were amazing. Especially this HUGE 'Bowmouth Guitar #Fish' (Rhina ancylostoma) It looked like the inside of its mouth was flashing as it opened it's gills to breath.
