@ai6yr it feels like we’ve let over privileged teenage boys take the wheel. From cybertrucks to ai fantasy girls, it’s all got very discarded gym sock. Think they all need their internet access removed and made to go outside and help people instead

Too funny. Can’t make this up.

Currently if King County WA needs to produce an evacuation map they only do so as a PDF. County emergency management (EM) staff says it would be very expensive to have county GIS staff produce an interactive evacuation map.

I volunteered to write data conversion code (geojson > kmz) so King County WA could use Google maps as an interactive evacuation map.

EM staff says policy prohibits them from using outside help that is not officially approved. So I contacted county procurement asking how I can get approved as a volunteer consultant. See pic for their reply.

@ai6yr I never found the lutefisk booth today. Disappointed.

@ai6yr the Minnesota branch of my family is divided into three warring factions: the ones who love Norwegians, the ones who hate Norwegians, and the ones who are Norwegians.

They have been expressing their frustration for decades by mailing lutefisk to each other.

@ai6yr LOL This Swedish person agrees with the sentiment. Most Swedish people slather it with homemade mustard to avoid actually tasting it.

Although it's still better than surströmming.

@ai6yr @dogfox No meatballs for you then, Ben. 😂

Seriously, if you want to try something exotic that's actually good, take a look at the pickled herring at Ikea. Regular pickled herring or mustard herring are genuinely great on a sandwich.

Don't give up on wild native bees in the city...

This is a solitary bee just starting its life. It visits these last Phacelia blooms over & over. Eventually, the bee will move over to other flower varieties that are coming on strong.

Diversity in plants & habitats makes the difference on this small scale. Native bees forage over hundreds of yards-not miles like honey bees.

annuals + perennials + standing stems + open ground - leaf blowers - pesticides

No matter what your thoughts re: the war in , it's worth reading the full statement from the ICC Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan regarding his application for arrest warrants for Hamas leaders, Netanyahu and the Israeli Minister of Defense.

If I lived in Texas or Florida, I would be looking through this guide on "creating a cool room for extreme heat events" from the DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy. This would have been useful as disaster prep for Houston this last week. https://basc.pnnl.gov/resource-guides/creating-cool-room-extreme-heat-events#edit-group-description #DisasterPreparedness #disasters #weather #wx #heatwaves

@ai6yr that would definitely be smart. We have a leaky cellar we're going to improve in case we have an extended summer power outage. It stays nice and cool down there.

Outflow boundaries from overnight thunderstorms came together over the Florida Keys today, generating over 7 inches of rain at Marathon, Florida, with Doppler estimates just short of a foot.

A Stanford study published in Nature suggested that the Replika AI chatbot stopped suicidal ideation in participants. But it used a 2021 version of the chatbot. Since then, Replika has been blamed for causing mental health crises in users. Very messy

I was scything our field, came around an oak tree and saw a mother deer roust her baby from their hiding spot. They slowly made their way across the field with the little one hopping all around mom :)
