I do my very best to be an ally to women, but I draw the line at ginkgo trees. Female ginkgo trees are the ABSOLUTE WORST.

Male ginkgos: ahh, what a lovely hue, such gorgeous yellow. Love it. Makes the day better. Stop & take a pic.

Female ginkgos: ahh, what a […]

Photo of a bright red maple tree across a suburban street. Photo of a young maple tree recently planted in a front yard, with a pleasing flame-hue gradient to its leaves, albeit with a bit of a silly greenish 'top'. It's still a child, it'll grow out of it? Photo of the entirety of a mature male ginkgo tree with bright yellow leaves against a bright blue sky. New Jersey's all right. Closer photo of previous ginkgo tree, filling the frame with riotous yellow and interwoven shade.

I could have simply doctored this screenshot, but you can tell it’s legit because who would fake such amazing HTML table text wrapping? 🤣 (no shade on whomever originally wrote whatever spits that out…)

Fall vibes: immaculate
Photo of orange fallen leaves on recently cleaned gray concrete pavers. Photo of a "fuzzy wuzzy" black and brown striped caterpillar crossing a concrete sidewalk. Photo of a deciduous tree completely turned to orange-red foliage, against a partly cloudy blue sky. Photo of a gray-painted cedar shingle house's front porch, featuring two small orange gourds painted with scary faces, atop a black iron railing.

Also, what the HELL? Invoke's PyPI downloads tripled for no obvious reason in early August this year? 🫨 https://pypistats.org/packages/invoke

It looks like nearly all the new traffic is on Python 3.10 which strengthens the initial assumption that there's some […]

#CovidIsNotOver but at least i got some neat fabric mask covers for my Aura N95s.

Watching a YouTube video on astronomy and suddenly it switches to Python related topics???

Including asserting that the PSF are a small white dot on a red field, and something about how many developers are using uv?

Ok then.
Photo of a slide presentation showing four labeled images: "The PSF" next to a red background with small white central dot; "u,v coverage" next to what looks like two sets of ripples in water; and two other images that don't have weird overlap with Python terminology.

Any y’all #catsofmastodon owners happy with microchip feeders, and if so, which brand(s)?

Our newish boy is an incredible glutton and we think it’s time to try solving a problem with Technology(tm), lest he starve our other cat when we’re away.

Cat tax attached!

Experimenting with #obsidian's new Bases feature vs my existing #Dataview setup.

Haven't dug yet to see how much I can torture Bases into being as capable as DataView, but so far it meets my expectations: yea it gets about 80-90% of the way there but I'll have […]

Screenshot of Obsidian DataView SQL-like query language showing some advanced features not yet replicable in the new Bases core plugin, such as dynamically replacing the value of a given property/column based on the actual value, and dynamic (vs simple alphabetical) sorting. Screenshot of a split Obsidian window with a DataView table output (see other photo for the underlying query) above, and the equivalent Base underneath. The Base output has smaller font size and is sorted alphabetically by status instead of by the status' "meaning". OTOH the Base output has better visual treatment for list-type properties.

One month's worth of AC filtration. Thanks, wildfires half a continent away.

(Plus two cats and an old house, but still. This is easily twice as grungy as normal for 1mo midsummer.)

I'm sure /this/ will go /very well/ and have zero negative repercussions once the robots are in control.

Gutters: definitely clogged. Shitty drone selfie: also taken. Hopefully at a sufficient distance I don't need to slap on an eye contact CW? 🤔

Now, when will they start selling leafblower attachments for this thing? Yea, yea, weight limit shmeight limit.

I swear to god this computer workstation appearing in #andor (S1E7-8) is based on a real split console from the 1960s or so, but can't find it. Anybody know?

TFW you're just super duper into that new pope announcement
Photo of a middle aged to elderly woman resting on her elbows with a big smile on her face, which is partly obscured by a billowing white mist emitting from a short chimney or pipe in front of her, which sticks out from a tiled surface. It's actually water mist on a hot day but looks thematically very similar to the new Pope smoke chimney.
