  What a nightmare I lost my phone and had to get a new one, and the first place told me everything was lost, contacts photos, everything, so I went to a different place and a young woman managed to get my contacts and photos, but my writers app is gone, many of my files are gone, even tho everything was backed up, and the stupid find your phone app totally failed. It's like my phone fell into a blackhole. What's worse is uscellular got gobbled up by T-Mobile, my prepaid us cellula...

  I just searched for ai blocking apps and there are at least 2. Aics ai content shield which seems to be free, and even blocks ai videos , and voice narration on YouTube, and a one called mind guardian for $4.99 per month. Both used as a chrome extension. Maybe there's some hope

  I worked all day scything the verge of the road. Got home at dark , tired and hungry and nothing quick and easy for dinner fixings. Until I discovered a bag of two kinds bulk dehydrated backpacking soups. One is black beans , the other I think maybe corn chowder. I added spices, onion, oats chia seeds, and a bit of spelt flour to hold it together, made it into veggie burgers. Dang they are good! Salad on the side and I'm feeling good!

  Damn it cost me $100 to fill up 3/4 of a tank of gas. Last week it was $70. I really want to go hiking , do a short backpacking trip but I seriously can't afford to go anywhere. I'll only be going to town once week . I hate trump. I may make a few Trump/Vance voodoo dolls I can hang upside down on an elastic cord and whack with a stick every time I pass by.

  Holy fucking shit AI is causing heaps of problems in the botanical identification world. Northwest floral had an incredible id tool where you could type in various subspecies of a plant and it would give you side by side comparisons in minute details. They've turned it off because of ai bot scraping. Jepsons eflora now makes you take a math test to prove you are human. Kew went to blank pages, This is a fucking nightmare. Grass ID is hard, it can be incredibly confusing and now because of f...

  In 2020 and 2021, some pot growers to comply with regulations, were required to weedwhack 6 miles of road. ( I had a really bad feeling about the weed whacking, and that gut instinct was more right than I ever could have imagined) , I asked them not to touch my side of the road, they did it anyway. The meadows in my watershed were a rare remarkable example of a California native meadow ecosystem. That one act of weed whacking two years in a row, at the wrong time of year, with dirty weedwha...

  Sometimes being annoying little shits is the best strategy I really don't understand why one has to label something as satire, everyone seems to understand it's satire, plus they announce it with a billion comments saying it's satire🙄😂😂 however the ICE tip hotline is no longer accepting calls because of high volume, a redirect to the online form. Somebody crashed the phone line!

  I ran into a friend in town and she's been trying to find me on Mastodon, and I've looked for her. We both are at a loss how to look people up, it should be simple. Maybe it is but we are luddites. Can someone explain how to do it?

  Well I had a big culinary flop today. I was trying to make mana bread, which is sprouted grains ground up and made into loaves then put in a very low temp oven or a dehydrator. I've made it before in the dehydrator and it usually takes about a day and a half. I checked on it today less than 24 hrs, and it had turned dry and crispy all the way through, like a seed cake for birds, instead of soft and chewy. It came out very much like that Ezekiel brand of pricey sprouted cereal. So I cru...
