This one is no-contest for me (LEOs for life!), though the dusky is pretty darn cute.

What??? Snowy owls have tufts??? My day just got 100× better, that is absolutely adorable

Thank you! They’re so charming, a really owly looking owl 😍

Aaah wonderful!! Their tiny ears are to die for :) I won’t hesitate to post if I get the shots, really crossing my fingers it happens. Good luck to you ik your coming owl searches as well!

Hoping to see and photograph some short eared owls this winter break. Wish me luck folks!

I once heard the following which struck a chord for me and I always keep it in mind when it comes to work:

“20 years from now, the only people who will remember you stayed late at work are your kids”

Obviously this doesn’t apply if you have to work late to survive. If you have the choice though, don’t give these companies more time than they really deserve. You won’t be remembered or rewarded for it.

Oh yeah I’m a big fan of thai/vietnamese fish sauce in South East Asian dishes, as well as its even smellier cousin, fermented shrimp paste. I find the flavour profile of colatura to be more neutral and less vinegary though, and there’s no sweetness to it unlike Worcestershire sauce. It’s definitely very fishy smelling though. If that’s a turn off for you, you’ll also just have to take my word on its deliciousness.

A modern equivalent of this still exists in Italy, it’s called colatura di alici. It’s a great ingredient to have in the kitchen if you can get your hands on it. Adds an extra umami flavour and I use it frequently in soups, stews, sauces, fish/crab cakes, etc - basically anywhere you’d use Worcestershire sauce but way better. It’s fairly pungent so a little goes a long way.

Gives a whole new meaning to looking for tits.

I always refer to someone by “vous” until I ask permission to “tutoyer”, unless they start referring to me with “tu”. It’s tricky to figure out when is the right moment to switch unless someone decides to switch for you. I much prefer English because of this.

In Portuguese we use the formal “você” in a similar way to the French “vous”- for people you just met, people who are older, customers, etc. In some families (usually very traditional or conservative families) children will address parents and other elders by “você”. Then there’s another level where you address someone by their name or their title, usually reserved for people of a “higher rank” or a very formal setting, like “O senhor/a senhora conhece o Lemmy?”, or “O João gosta de memes?”

Speaking of marinating

Canada geese and white-tailed deer nearly went extinct. Now they’re considered pests in some areas. It’s possible for nature to bounce back, it just needs to be given a chance.

I agree though I’m gonna level with you - to me, a lot of people who climb Everest are like a lot of marathon runners, only with too much money to burn: they’re in it for the kudos and social media points.

I get people’s need for external validation, that’s just a human thing. Having said that, the big difference is in the environmental destruction, human exploitation and waste of resources involved in climbing Everest and rescuing people.

Let’s just wander mindlessly

Just like some climbers on Everest…

Another off topic Everest movie recommendation - The Summit of the Gods. It’s a phenomenal movie, go watch it!

Synopsis shamelessly stolen from ScreenRant: The Summit of the Gods follows a photojournalist’s relentless pursuit of the truth surrounding the first expedition to Mount Everest. His investigation leads him to seek out a revered climber who vanished during the journey, uncovering mysteries within the perilous world of high-altitude mountaineering.

Netflix is training AI on the work of the artists in the animation department. They’re absolutely not the least bad, they’re all equally terrible.
