This is still one of my favorite photos of mine. From some time before 2019 at the Denver Zoo.
A photograph of a spotted hyena, laying on the ground in a zoo enclosure, from behind. Tail is tucked underneath and the right rear leg is cocked to the side, pawbeans facing up beside tucked tail, showing distinct pawpad shapes and nails. The fur has a distinctive whorl at the lower back, and stands up along the spine in distinct contrast to the way the rest of the fur lays, more conventionally. Mane is visible between the shoulders at the top of the image, and the head is hidden behind them except for some of the distinctive yeen ears. The left ear is less visible, but has a distinctive notch at the outer edge.

Well hell...

I neglected to collect eggs for too long (don't judge me!) Now I need to figure things out in a hurry.... I've never raised chickens from hatchlings before, much less naturally hatched, and I'm not sure what to do (besides immediately put smaller wire on the pen so they don't escape).

Bottling day for cider. Two cases even. 10.25% ABV.
48 capped bottles, amber in color, on a countertop, miscellaneous other items in view. It's homebrew hard cider. It's kinda strong.

Incidentally, it could have used a little more flux here. The last weld didn't take. I started with a weld that was too long, folded it over again, still too long... Notes for next time.

My second foray into blacksmithing. Couldn't find my cross-peen hammer so I used the ball-peen. It'll turn out better next try, I'm sure, but this is adequate for spooning flux.

Funny you should mention Native people.

Recruitment isn't the same across different populations and events.

www.nicoa.org/american-ind...
American Indians and Alaska Natives serve in the Armed Forces at five times the national average and have served with distinction in every major conflict for over 200 years. Considering the population of the U.S. is approximately 1.4 percent Native and the military is 1.7 percent Native (not including those that did not disclose their identity), Native people have the highest per-capita involvement of any population to serve in the U.S. military.

Today in IRS tax filing rules:
Screenshot reading: Bribes. If you receive a bribe, include it in your income. Screenshot reading: Illegal activities. Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z, or on Schedule C (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity. Screenshot reading: Stolen property. If you steal property, you must report its FMV in your income in the year you steal it, unless in the same year you return it to its rightful owner.
