Currently loud af at the Buffalo Wild Wings I’m at and I can still hear the guy at end of bar eating.

I kinda hopes he gets a bone in sideways.

Preparations being done for baking my grandmother's sweet pastry roll filled with hazelnuts and honey. It was only baked for Easter. Like me, she was an atheist but still... 😉, those were the rules.
I'm glad I have her nutcracker to get the job done because it's a solid tool to get those nuts cracked.

Fediverse, I need your help! This is a real mystery and it’s going cold.

Three months ago, someone uploaded a track to r/cantopop.

It’s a shoegaze song in both English and Cantonese about my hometown of Richmond, BC, Canada.

We only know three things. It’s called “兜多一圈.” It was made by Chloe Chan. It was recorded in 2022.

That’s it. No trace. No other credits. No trail.

If anyone knows anything, now’s the time.

AI frustration; my daughter studies at Maastricht University and had to write a paper. She's a good student (better then I ever was) and prides herself in really doing the work; researching, writing, referencing and yet her paper got flagged for having a 80% generated by AI score. She's furious obviously. Is this what uni has come to, having to prove the AI that scores AI is slop?

any #feditips on how to prove a text is not AI generated?

Light Pillars and Orion over Mohe

Explanation: What's happening at the end of that street? Pictured here are not auroras but light pillars, a phenomenon typically much closer. In most places on Earth, a lucky viewer can see a Sun pillar, a column of light appearing to extend up from the Sun caused by flat fluttering ice-crystals reflecting sunlight from the upper atmosphere. Usually, these ice crystals evaporate before reaching the ground. During freezing temperatures, however, flat fluttering ice crystals may form near the ground and are sometimes known as a crystal fog. These small ice crystals may then reflect not the Sun but ground lights. The featured image captured not only numerous light pillars but also the iconic constellation of Orion, and was taken in Mohe, the northernmost city in China.

I know nothing about plants, other than that I’ve learnt that they die if I try to take care of them. So I leave them alone and they look after themselves. I’ve been ignoring this plant for a year. I don’t know what it is or what it does. The other day, I noticed a weird little mismatched shoot. It keeps growing, more and more overnight, like Jack’s Beanstalk, up and up and up. I think unfurling may happen. I am not even embarrassed about how exciting I find this.
