Nerds are the ones who warned you about cryptocurrency, and NFTs, and the internet of things. Nerds are the ones trying to explain to you that "AI" is just overhyped pattern recognition which we already had for years.

In order to avoid the mass disposal of solar panels, PV Reborn Association, in collaboration with Tomoki(?) Mizuguchi, a glass artist from Kurashiki City, succeeded in melting glass extracted from solar panels and recycling it so that it can be used in new panels.

I found one more smaller mutant(?) worm. They are distinctively translucent and stripes are lighter, and they never seem to be producing castings (are they?). I put it in the same bin as the huge one, hoping they will breed more of them.

I don't know if it's only in our building in Budapest (urban environment), but I stopped hearing blackbirds singing during/after COVID. I just heard a male blackbird intimidating another bird, and they do live around here. Has any of you noticed the same?

Blueskyの運営側も怪しく思えてきた。もうXみたいになり始めてる。安全・清潔だとうたってカモにする避難者を集めてからゲートを開いて（招待コード不要）IDも確認せず（SMS不要）犯罪者を呼び込む計画だった？Blueskyに一切興味を示さなかった息子達が正しかったのかな。私みたいな高齢者はもう独自ドメインのサイトを作って細々発信するしかないっぽい。アクリル絵画を始めて宣伝したかったんだけど、以前から犯罪者しか寄ってこなさそうだとは感じていた。

*Sour Cream Mayonnaise*
I made this recipe from the ingredients I learned from an old Hungarian lady. She would use a blender. I'm too lazy (find it wasteful) to wash the blender.

*Japanese-style white short-grain/stick rice*
If you don't have a rice cooker, this is how I cook white short-grain/sticky rice with a pot. I prepare sushi rice with the same technique and different ingredients.

In the absence of the blackbird ("rigó" in Hungarian) family, I saw a few black redstarts ("(házi) rozsdafarkú" in Hungarian meaning "rust tail") in the courtyard in May 2023. According to the Wikipedia page, they are found in Eurasia, not in the Americas.

My worms are descendents of the worms I bought from a fishing store in 2019 and Hungarians call "Dendrobaena" (most likely European Nightcrawler). A few weeks ago, I found a huge one, about 1 cm thick, and I wonder whether it's a mutant, as it's redder and smaller than a Canadian Nightcrawler.

The blackbird (rigó in Hungarian) couple are back (①male, ②female). They stopped coming back to make a nest after one of their babies died a few years ago. They make a huge mess, but it's a good sign for me. Is this why I woke up this morning without depression🤔 (③④eggs and babies in 2021)

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Every year in January, I prune some branches of the fig tree that I bought around 2015. I've tried many rooting methods, and while all worked, I found out all I need is a plastic bottle and tap water last year (right), and it worked this year too (left). What type of fig is this? It bears fruits.

My xTwitter account got locked (most likely mass reported by NAFO crypto/NFT scheme) and then labelled as a spammer/manipulator. xTwitter has transformed from a slum to a gangland. I started seeing some rats from the gangland in Bluesky, but they are going back there as they are not welcome here🤔

So depressed from politics, I decided to start acrylic painting, or acrylic pouring to be precise. This video shows my most favourite pouring style (though I would stop before using a balloon) and I intend to apply my manipulation i.e. creativity more. I can't wait to start.
