nerdetry:

I have a pretty developed and deliberate approach to the photos I make, in that I generally have a fairly clear vision of the final result I want to achieve when I'm capturing something, even for details like contrast and tonality.

Except for color toning. I almost never have any idea whether I will add a sepia tint or whatever. I'm totally ad hoc and inconsistent about this, and I often go back and forth several times before settling on a final version.

@mattblaze I don’t get it. I just don’t get it. Apparently, they can’t just scroll by? They have to take a crap in your TL? I just don’t get it. Is someone forcing them to look at pictures?

@Green_Footballs When comedians give us more factual news & information than the networks or cables talking heads, we need to realize that divestment, the breaking up of powerful monopolies, is actually in our best interests.

nobody told me that cats can purr in multiple ways, all at once. like completely different sounds and rhythms coming out at the same time. last night my beautiful little weirdo had three going at once. basically a mozart kitten, purring in chords lol

Question for Rust programmers:

When you see this sequence of characters in a Rust program:

Never mind whether you would ever say it out loud— in your head, what do you think of the name of this sequence of symbols being? Do you have a name for it at all?

I have an answer but I am curious about yours.

This would be a great deal for someone with need to build a garden bed, but the timeframes this person have in their post ("must be gone tomorrow", ie today) are RIDICULOUS (unless you live next door). Have you ever moved that much weight before?

Oops. An NYPD officer accidentally discharged their gun during the removal of protesters from Columbia’s Hamilton Hall. Fortunately no one was hit. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/03/nyregion/nypd-columbia-shooting-hamilton.html?unlocked_article_code=1.pE0.v6lm.u1Vvy-U6J88X&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

@mattblaze Yeah, good thing no one was hit because then they’d have to kill everyone (witnesses) and plant weapons on one of them. They didn’t plan for that contingency, so, Whew!

@ai6yr WILD ANIMALS are NOT Disney Characters. I’ve seen shocking displays of adults putting themselves and their families, even very small children at risk, trying to ‘Pet’ or ‘Feed’ wildlife. It’s like a Darwin Club meeting.

I am going to answer this question for everyone:

https://mastodon.social/@timothyjohnson@mastodon.sdf.org/112349635246409685

My answer is here:

https://mastodon.social/

Remember:

There were possible crimes, but tax and reporting crimes are not election interference.

There is also a circular thing with Cohen and Pecker telling the court that they expected Trump to pay back the hush money payments.

If they expected to get paid back, it was a loan to Trump and not a contribution. Right?

Catawu,
@Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

@Teri_Kanefield If it was a ‘loan’, it was also an expenditure, right? And he didn’t list it. But, if it was a loan that wasn’t paid back, it was a contribution, again, not listed on his campaign financials. Further, as a loan or an expenditure, not listing the purpose is also an issue. Deliberately mislabeling either/or is also an issue. Misrepresenting is the problem, right?

Catawu,
@Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

@Teri_Kanefield My reading of it is that the NY laws regarding campaigns and what constitutes campaign or election interference are pretty much unique to NY and that is where the beef is sandwiched.

@Teri_Kanefield I’m pretty sure they have a well-laid out case, but if he walks on this one, it will be because of the reasons you have cited. Also, if he is convicted and it is overturned on appeal, again, because of reasoning you have cited. I will be mad, but not at you. ;-)

I am almost finished with this week's blog post.

Meanwhile, my 3-year old neice (grand niece? what do I call my niece's daughter?) taught me to play hide and seek.

Here's how:

💠 I tell her where I'll hide.
💠She closes her eyes and counts to 10.
💠When she reaches 10, she opens her eyes and looks for me.
💠It does't take long to find me.
💠Then we laugh.

I suspect I am supposed to tell her where I will hide so she doesn't feel scared when she opens her eyes and doesn't see me.

Mystery plant of the day. (update: this is most certainly horseweed!)

@ai6yr @mybarkingdogs It is a great tea! And it is delicious cooked. Mostly we have used it medicinally. Stinging Nettle Tea, hot or cold, is unlike anything else. It is delicious

@ai6yr @exador23 The plant you showed a picture of doesn’t look like stinging nettle to me. There are a lot of nettles out there.
