I assumed that Gboard spell checker contacted servers constantly and have it switched off for whatever good that does. I recently tried enabling it to play with other options and noticed that it works when my phone is entirely offline....

With a sweat bee on it for good measure

This plant works hard to clean the water I keep out for wildlife. This one grabbed up so much nitrogen/phosphorus that it got pot bound in one year. I split it in half so each half has twice as much room to grow this year.

tldr: urban woodland edges around Boston are accumulating carbon faster than expected because the soil microbiome is less functional than in more rural systems. How long that will work as a C sink is unknown.

This is one of the best tasting and easiest things I make. If you don’t want to buy harissa you can make your own pretty easily and keep the cost down. The measurements don’t need to be precise at all, so I only translated to metric using numbers I thought I could multiply in my head. Let me know if I made a mistake....

I have been running lineageOS on my OnePlus 2. I liked it, but Lineage has stopped supporting my phone. There are two options that I have been able to find as replacements - postmarketOS and /e/OS. Any thoughts on those or other recommendation? Anything that gets security updates, is open source, and is functional meets my...

Here is a video demonstrating how to make inari (tofu pouches filled with rice). Sushi purists might take issue with some of his technique, but they probably don’t need to watch this anyways :)

This is a copycat recipe from a restaurant. They serve it on top of rice, beans, olives, cilantro, and green onions. We put it on anything that needs a little something extra and change up the spices to match. It is supposed to be thick like a cheese sauce, but it tastes like its own thing. Anyways:...

The large flowered collomia (Collomia grandiflora) is just starting to bloom around me. They are annual and have cool blue pollen (typically pollen is yellow). You can see the pollen on the anthers at the center of each flower....

This one is meadow-foam (Limnanthes douglasii). It's annual that is native to prairies of the west coast of North America. Smells great, looks cool, and bugs like it. Comercially, similar plants are grown for the oil from their seeds. The seeds off this one will just fall where they want to sprout up in spring of '22.

For me it is my phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) blooming. I throw some seed down wherever I don't have other plans because the bugs love the flowers? What have you got going?
