Absolutely! I don't think I even fully appreciated them until I started taking pictures of them and then digging into their behavior and evolutionary development. They're also really curious and I had 6 of them flying right next to my wing, checking me out, when I was paragliding earlier this year!

See the big difference in the skin on these 2 Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus)? Juvenile black vultures often retain short, dark bristle-like feathers on their heads, giving them that scruffy punk look. As they mature, these feathers are lost, revealing the adult’s classic bald, wrinkled skin, a hygienic adaptation that makes their head easier to keep clean after feeding on carrion, reducing the risk of bacteria buildup.

Not a bad year, but lots of hungry rabbits and rampaging deer. Tomatoes are disappointing, too. Win some, lose some. #garden

Not sure I’ll be on the patio for long!

Anyone who could pimp you eventually will

Hey nostr, we are winding down for the day. After church and lunch, i needed to water some plants since its been so hot. Over the years i've learned that when a plant is labeled as needing "full sun", that doesnt always apply to "full sun" here in TX. Our "full sun" is a whole different animal, and will fry many plants to a crisp. Just one of those things i've learned from experience. Anyway, yall have a good evening nostr friends. #homesteading #TexasHeat

Found several Dogbane Leaf Beetles feasting on some leaves. These things are so cool looking!

Where does the trust come in?

Don’t trust verify

A high acid meal in a cast iron pan can increase your iron intake.

Ouff many stings? Lucie and I were swarmed on a hike last year - came home looking like Quasimodo

GM to all who celebrate 🎉

This was a Friday night done right - a long hike to our favourite cliff, the sun sinking slow, and Lucie curled up like she had no plans to leave. We sat for hours, sipping dandelion root tea and watching the world wind down.

Make sure you’re carving out time for what brings you peace. ☮️ 🌀

The challenge I see here is that if there's a spike in fees half of the utxos currently are dust, unable to spend.

Its worrisome that ~50 coin would be unspendable and that most individuals who hold that could be in either an education or a fiscal deficit.

Should I use Alaskan fish fertilizer, vegan tea compost or pro tek nutrients for my #weedstr #asknostr

Hi friends! Question: I have orange-pilled an elderly friend. He has a small business and is interested in creating a btc reserve. Sounds great but I'm a bit concerned about safety: since the business is in his name and has his home address, and since he would probably do it through one of the exchanges, hacks could potentially put him at personal risk.

I could eventually look into multisig for him but I'm not sure that helps keep him safe even if it would protect the btc, and he doesn't have the bandwidth for a complex security set-up.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Hot take: MMA is the only true sport

Morning Nostriches

Today’s pond report is wet! We had torrential downpours this weekend, but it looks like the creek is no longer swollen. I had a fabulous weekend , but have to log in to the loan mine a little early today as some douche nozzle scheduled a meeting at 8 am Monday morning. Who does that?
