I live in an area that was part of the sagebrush rebellion, I work in places that Claude Dallas did his thing, and it is very conservative here. I am also a federal land management employee. There is no push for this here. I notice my state isn't named in the article, mostly higher population states, but I think that this movement will have difficulty getting traction with most right wing land users due to concerns about what it will cost them. Ranchers get a pretty good deal on public land, and it may be telling that mining and timber groups are no longer involved.

At any rate, this "coalition" is definitely something to keep watching. I used to live in New Mexico and there was, at that time, a ranching propaganda publication that really stoked fears about things that just didn't exist. People are driven to decide on fear and we have to provide an answer to that.

Wait, so significant portions of the US population will need identification beyond a state-issued ID? If so I feel like this hasn't been in the news or I've really missed a big headline.

The different things she did while sleep walking were pretty incredible: navigating steps, getting supplies, having conversations. As a younger child, I thought these things were hilarious and enjoyed them as sibling conversational material. Not really in a mean way, we just poked fun at each other. I rolled out of bed a lot. I am sure she had material from me 😆

I never realized that was a kbin only thing. I just assumed my instance/mbin blocked that feature.

My sister sleptwalked a lot at this point. She gave a lot of material to work with but I always had this in my back pocket 😄

The MSPB dismissals got me since the MAGA folks seem so obsessed with anything that they deem to be not based on merit. Obviously they lie, and this is great evidence of that.

Where I live, we are still in the winter/spring cycle, so we have a mud season. That is mainly what this is referencing. But to your point, we have been very fortunate with our winter precipitation and our positioned to be better off than much of the western US. I hope you get some moisture and don't have a repeat of what I saw in Portugal ❤️

 

We're in like fourth spring here right now so a little bit of dry and warm is pretty nice!

Wow, I had no idea she is on bandcamp.

That was pretty helpful! I have heard that the ice on some of the flat land lakes can be a few feet thick, and up higher can be 10+. I guess that is enough!

I also appreciated the polar bear weight unit 😄

Near me, I see folks out on ice like this. I always wonder about the safety (especially when they have machines out there) but it looks like fun! I hope you can get out there sometime soon.

 

I think it could be an isopod but am unsure. It doesn't look like ones I am familiar with in houses (usually basements, which is not where this is).

It is about 10mm or 3/8" long, seems to move towards the top of the picture (but mostly is just wiggly), and is slightly hairy. Western USA.

 

A couple of our horses taking it easy with a break in the weather.

 

F-Droid has been giving me some issues for a few days (that I've noticed). It crashes immediately upon opening. Sometimes I will see it open for less than one second before it crashes, but usually it just goes right to a crash submittal screen. I want to reinstall it, but am unsure how to handle all my apps. Will it just pick them back up? I don't really know how to troubleshoot this, I am open to alternative paths!
