@schizanon it is weird, even if the slur didn’t exist! nigeria too. and the guineas sorta as well. in niger’s case in point wonder how much continued french colonial presence had to do w the name staying
@schizanon interesting! i don’t know if i’d correlate counting with the results though. seems more like the crows matched a pattern of caws to a specific result, but not necessarily that they are counting the caws per-se. still cool!
@jbwharris i think mine is just the upper half though
@jbwharris ohhh i have one of these (came with a bunch of tools in an estate auction lot) but didnt know what it was for!
@mike i often pitch friends and family on signal for messaging! mixed results.
@levisan kinda want to let this play out!

@freeschool neat! what part of the world are you in? did you build the greenhouse? have been thinking about doing one as part of a shed project
@freeschool sounds neat, if a bit hard to picture! you should post some photos!
@alan haven’t ever been ice fishing, but if i ever have the opportunity, a comfortable seat seems like a must!
@alan i mean, even a hatchback can transport those things if you get creative, but i hear ya!
@alan bed is about 6.5ft x 4.5ft. the sides come down easily too so it can be a flatbed, (though that's about the only configuration i havent used)
@freeschool yep, chicken wire stapled to frames made from long wood pieces my neighbour had spare. taller because the plants were way too big! the taller one on the left was OK, 90% of the tomato plants fit. but the short ones had kale, lettuce, etc growing wayyy out of the tops. and once theyve grown through the tops you cant really take the lid off easily without pulling out the roots, so makes it hard to maintain. should've made them 2ft higher at least, maybe more.
@freeschool yes, they hold up — this is our third year with them, and got them used off a guy so they've been in the ontario elements at least 6yr now. old standard wooden skids on the bottom, then bracketed/hinged wood rectangles stacked on top (which fold flat if we wanted to store them, though we haven't). bottom was lined with plywood and/or cardboard to keep the dirt from falling through. nothing lining sides though. everything is porous enough for drainage.
last year i made the cages for them and that worked a lot better since the squirrels couldnt eat everything, but i shouldve made them taller!
@levisan if it's a person walking around as hobbes, it's gotta be the animate hobbes. if its a prop, stuffed
Dug this up for @sabbatical but everyone needs to see it. Quite possibly the coolest product demo I've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fQbtp2BgY4
(If you're in a hurry, skip to 7:00 with the understanding that he's recorded all of these loops live)
@levisan well you're welcome to borrow mine sometime if you can work out logistics :)
