I can see why this is needed. In other fields we see radical changes in flora and fauna. Here, European Kestrels and a bit west, flamingoes!!! Pink birds!! On the Adriatic. Apparently both used exist here, but were gone for decades and more. www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

Wanted: expedition botanist to follow in Darwin’s footsteps and look for plants

If you have a sense of adventure and know your squills from your spurges, Cambridge University Botanic Garden may have the job for you

I enjoyed #Halo. I'm sorry there's no S03. Charlie Murphy is a national treasure.

“It’s a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time!” “But the shark is still out there!” “The rules were you guys weren’t gonna fact check me!”

Aging Bull ... remove one letter, ruin a movie ...

Woof!

If I went to an L7 show, I'd struggle to name a song. I can name none from Baby Metal or Rock Bitch, I know one track by Girlschool, one by the Breeders, and partied once with Octavia Sperati but couldn't recall the music. Gatekeeping has no place in music. www.theguardian.com/music/2024/s...

Hernia? What about hisnia?

Three freaking times somethings gone down the wrong way... and combined with hernia stitches and staples, that's murderous. First operation was worse but I dodged all such issues, I'm a week ahead of recovery estimates for this one but am far more crippled. Moral of the story? Watch your core.

Hernia surgery #2 done, and back home. 23 days for the first, feel like 13-20 will be a-ok for this one. Note to self, we need more P.E. in schools to lessen the burden on the health care system.

Why is it that business folk are always, "read this academic work on how to milk a population of its wealth", but never seem to be, "read this book I loved as a kid, I hope it brings you as much joy"? BTW, Slovakia just upped VAT on books, calling them purchases for the wealthy...
