I hooked up a hose to a submersible pump on a tarp underneath our trampoline, which then pumps the water above it. It makes this awesome shower effect when it comes through the sunshade, and the kids love it. The best part is we can use it all day to stay cool and use no new water!

Here’s GitHub doing the same. Sure GitHub copilot is an Ai tool, but it’s not at all what GitHub’s value is.

We have a robins nest on our deck and it’s amazing to watch. Especially the mom bird (who we named “featherita”). She brings like 5 worms per trip and is completely afraid of us. The dad is also there, but he brings 1 worm per trip, and he’s very timid if we are sitting outside.

Testing WP6.2 beta and this “openverse” integration initially feels icky. Are people likely to know their images aren’t self hosted when picking and inserting from there?
