Great result! Was that all the one potato? wow it really was a monster!

In the unlikely event I ever have so much spare $$ that I decide to splash out by buying a fancy bottled wine, I will recall this

Our brushtail Possum are different from Opossum, they raid fruit trees and rare birds eggs rather than corn (so far, that's a new fear unlocked). But we do have pheasants and large native swamp hens called pukeko that will tear the corn apart if they have a chance.

It's the army cutworm that I have issues with! We never had it in NZ but it got in years ago. We always have plague scale populations of green shield/stink bugs, they suck the kernels dry right through the husk. We train our chickens to eat green shield bugs on supervised patrols 😁

But my Cats sleep all day and get up at 3 am.
Dog sleeps twitching and barking and then runs off the side of the bed ...

Sleep all night and lay around in the sun until 9 like my Goats! ... wait no, they use family members as pillows and drool on them.

No better options really I'll stick with me 🤣

I used to sell lots of seed on there. I kept a regular range of veges and herb seeds, it was small but worthwhile.

First and only thing I've been able to think about that headline, yeah.

Like what the? disembark from plane, immediately remark about the beauty of your host's wife. I suppose it could be normal in some circles. But saying it twice is compounding weirdness too.

In position only I mean, not numbers!

52/48, and they've moved "No" to the top

It's a hard one. I'm feeling like Seek did: trying names against the image to see how it feels and rejecting them all.

I am tempted to plug for Karamu as well: but the leaves seem just a little too long and pointy. May be just regional difference or state of maturity.

They lay their eggs in the top of the silks, so that makes sense. My climate is wet and humid though, I suspect the plastic bottles could cause mould (I'll try it, for sure). I'm wondering if a fabric sock over the top would do as well, or for that matter, taping it closed?

Was that really supposed to be pay walled?

I can't tell ... one of the few benefits of having bad net. My connection is so slow I get to read some articles before they get hidden. But this one never hid at all.

Fighting over the bottom of the barrel is a good way of putting it 😆 I suspect this one in particular of being botted. I click on the things to keep an eye on the normal viewership ratio, lately there's been more looking fake - this one just stands out as inconsistent with the real human feedback.

😝 was not expecting this

Heard an AI supposed 'true crime' story recently - fictionally talking about this super duper new AI security system, in the context of, the burglar knew the system would stop him once installed so he has to move quick.
Sounded weird - like an AI focussed on how great and infallible AI are 🙃

Worry not: you have company in this.

I always spell 'intelligent' wrong. Auto cogent is the only thing that saves me from ... intellegent.
It's a personal embarrassment ... faced with a 50/50 choice between i and e, I use the wrong vowel 100% of the time. It is statistically significant 🤣
