Patience is a virtue that say, but mould is my concern as the weather turns humid and these buds fatten up. I could harvest right now, but I guess waiting is the better plan. Two months into flowering. Aix Dream Tangerine f1 #Cannabis www.flickr.com/photos/bluec...
Cuttings Riot
Aix Dream Tangerine f1 almost ready for harvesting. There are too many white pistils growing right now so maybe wait a week.

This must be the third video of wonderful voices singing global scales I have seen, and each is mesmerising and has taught me things I didn't know. Such as: That these scales exist and how they, the bare backbone of tunes, reflect and unlock whole world regions' music. This is amazing.
Wind! I raised a sail we used in a protest against RWE at a Tour de France event in Germany some years ago. Just to the west lies a huge Shell oil refinery near Rotterdam. #Wind flic.kr/p/2svypn5

I finally fixed my boat engine after the old starter motor failed. Lots of swearing and cursing in this heatwave. I do not recommend doing this while on holiday! flic.kr/p/2svbiz6
Washers
I fitted a new starter motor that was 7mm too long as a work-around as the old one had died. It had died in the middle of nowhere so any solution is a good one. 4 x 1.7mm washers did the trick and no...

Oh dear. AI is spying on people. Best not buy an Apple Mac, or go near #ChatGPT or similar.
TheBossRoss 🧶@thebossross.bsky.social · 3d ago"OpenAI wants #ChatGPT to remember your workday better than you do. The newly introduced Computer History feature, currently rolling out in the ChatGPT desktop app for #macOS, turns your clicks, keystrokes, web browsing and more into a searchable timeline." That's a hard 'no'.
Maybe Jason Arday’s death can offer us lessons in not rushing to glib judgements; in not joining the unthinking pack; and – above all - in keeping a sense of proportion and plain humanity. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...
Jason Arday was a victim of the worst kind of media pile-on
The former Cambridge professor suffered a relentless campaign of coverage against him. His death should teach us an important lesson about keeping a s...

I have never wished death on anyone, but this is true.
Our local equestrians in #Aachen are stealing water to make their pretty horse-riding championship look great while the region dries out and dies. Selfish behaviour by the rich as the rest suffer from #drought as the climate breaks down.

Good. Now we need action. Tax fossil fuel giants to pay for firefighting helicopters. A cool space in every community. A maximum working temperature. And no new oil and gas extraction in the North Sea. We cannot negotiate with the science. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Donald Trump is the greatest threat to civilisation on the planet. A frightening finding, but no one else holds the power of destruction as he does. It's not just the nuclear threat; it's his promotion of fossil fuels and denial of climate breakdown that poses the main threat.
My daughter thinks this is hilarious to do with her dog. She's right of course.
John Feeley, the former US ambassador to Panama, describes the first meeting with Trump that ultimately led him to resign. Everyone (in politics) needs to be aware of this. That's what it boils down to.
AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

My summer is dedicated to restoring this Dutch sailing vessel. It's unique. A Zeeschouw with a lowering mid keel instead of leeboards. The stern is narrow and it has an aft cabin. I'd love to know more about who made it. Professionally built from near Zuidland (or Kinderdijk) NL. flic.kr/p/2stZSVR
