Has TFT had any updates that decrease how much you have to know about league of legends stats/chars? I really enjoyed the first season, but when they started changing things all the time it was way too much
Are you me? I played sc2 not wc3 but feel the same way. I've been playing valorant which is CSGO style lots of holding corners and team tactics. Only really good if you have a good group to play with though. I also have a lichess account and the same desire for fog of war! Following this post for ideas :)
"Unprogrammed" Quakers (among many other groups) worship by sitting in silence together for a time - about an hour seems to be the norm for adults. Some people have their eyes shut; sometimes someone may stand and share a message; sometimes a kid may loudly whisper, "I'm booooored!"
I wonder if this is a religious analogue of the secular "scheduled boredom"?

Simple Living Beyond the Thrift Store - Philip Harden, Friends Journal, 2018
Finding a balance between personal and political strategies for simple living.
This is an incisive look at simple living beyond the self from a quaker point of view.
> When we practice simple living, we collectively say a resounding no to the consumerism, materialism, and waste of modern industrial society.
> But how often do we ask ourselves whether our simple living actually does enable other people to live?
If Earth were a penny, Antares would be the length of a basketball court!
Meet Antares, a red supergiant that — like Betelgeuse — will one day go supernova. Summer evenings are a good time to view this star.
We noticed a bright twinkling red star around 10:15 pm GMT-4 about 20° (complete estimate) above the horizon to the SE as seen from east coast USA. I googled it and matched up the rest of Scorpio that was visible, and thought I'd share some cool facts about Antares :)
Yarrow Carolina mantis
Was just hanging out around dusk this evening. The yarrow has been shooting up flower stalks for a few weeks now and is just about to open up. Exciting!
Thanks for this. Just finished reading Naked Short and Greedy by Dr. Susanne Trimbath - if anyone needs a reminder of how fucked up the markets are... I highly suggest it!
My wildlife pond, site of the 2023 salamander congress
Lots of frogs and salamanders. Pond is under the drip line of two 80 foot white oaks. In the fall I'm going to cover with brush to help keep acorns out: They dye the water brown with tannins.
That being said, this past winter, very early January, I drained the pond to clean out the acorns and the refilled it (well water) and within two weeks spotted salamanders had started laying eggs!
Rose bush loving this weather!
There are about 25 flowers/buds on new growth from this year! I pruned back the older growth and deadheaded it yesterday.
Spotted salamander pollywog in my pond
In January of this year we had some very warm weather and I managed to come across a spotted salamander congress (like a murder of crows) and then they laid eggs for a few weeks and are now happy little axolotl looking things!
The pond is just about a year old and is about 8x8 feet and ~3.5 ft deep at the deepest.
You can get around those with mulch & perennials! Unless the grass itself is required, which sounds awful
Seems like there are a lot of even sub $50 USB-C condenser mics with wind screens out there -- no comment on quality though. I searched $your_online_retailer_of_choice for "condenser microphone for iphone"
I'm actually not even certain how to harvest. I guess the greens can be used as green onions, but do you eat the sets at the top? Or is there a bulb in the ground? (something something meme...but now I'm too afraid to ask)
I, too, consider myself an anti-gardener. My long term goal is a good forest. In the meantime while the fruit trees grow I'm not relying too much on production and focusing on soil building, and increasing insects.
I'm not mowing this year, and I left the acorns and leaf litter over the winter. Not sure if it's confirmation bias, but it feels like I have more lightning bugs than last year. I know my yard has enough to support a number of snakes, rabbits and possums; a box turtle; and at night when I go out with my headlamp, it's a sea of wolf spider eyes glaring back at me!

Three generations of onions, all still connected and supporting each other -- fascinating!
