And did he ever even get to that part about 'helmet safety' and that the guy in the photo wasn't wearing one?
Oh, no, yet another topic for the echo factory to pretend that people care about and repeat over and over.
this is a lot more fun than wading in through the chan spam.

I was reading an article from the LA times website about how to kill your lawn. I've get a better idea: let it die all by itself. But if they were needing to have some other kind of landscaping, they can kill the grass with a bunch of different methods. I have a similar problem, but it isn't grass, but moss that I want to kill. I find that a Garden Weasel works to rip up the moss, but seems to leave the grass alone. I did that for a while. But there are other chores, and fixating on one type of yard work doesn't make the grass grow better, it is only a kind of obcession. If you try too hard you burn yourself out. It's a symptom of something else: an allegory for something that is going on in your (my) head. I say 'your' in the tense of the vernacular meaning a third person indeterminant gender pronoun case.
So, if you live in LA, it might make sense to kill your lawn. It will die all by itself if you leave it alone and the conditions are not correct.
If I take their advice and plant the kinds of plants that they suggest . . . well we know that is rediculous. They wouldn't last long in New England. I think it's laudible to stop trying to plant a New England style lawn in a dessert like Los Angeles.
You need to plant the right things or no matter how hard you try they don't ever take. You can't just decide to plant something that won't stand the environment, you try to change the landscape into something that it can't be, and it won't happen. You might end up with a wasteland while all your efforts at hopeful change of the scenery that is more to your liking all just dies. Dries up. Shrivels. The chickedee will be twittering off to the side, in a neighbors bush. All of your neighbors will think you have gone crazy. But it's your choice at your station to plant whatever kind of yard you'd like, but you have to deal with the climate.
But then there are those kind who say 'oh, ya, i'm gonna have a great big yard. And giant trees. And a fountain. And everything will be magical.' But they spent all their effort describing their perfect paradise. They didn't do any actual turning of soil. Nor did they pick plants that would work. So the plazza or public space is left some kind of a waste land, dust, and bird dew, and nasty smells because nothing is recycling, and there is not Oxygen being produced but only being sucked up by the people who wonder through.
So you drive off. You wonder "How much money do you suppose they budgetted for that epic fail? And who is it that is rebilling the Mexicans?" Well, synicism is healthy at times. And it helps us reflect. We fuss and rebill and do a contractor swap off with the cheepest labor to try and have the prettiest square that costs the least to maintain but costs a lot in the budget. The money is all trickled down. But the square is a disaster and an epic fail. You ponder this as you pass, but yuor really don't know the real story.
But then down the road, across town, without any budget, giant wildflowers grow all along the easements and the places between the rail lines, huge flowers flooding along the walkways, in small patches which hadn't gotten mowed, 3 feet tall by early July and the rain . . . the rain makes them pop even larger.
Ya, they need no budget but they do need rain.
So, mostly, when it is 'right' landscaping should be perrenials and those annuals that one does fuss over. With annuals it might be that yo plant it somewhere and it pops up and you don't have to do much. But othe times, if there are a lot of squirrils, rabbits, deer, chipmunks, or other pests (inscets) the seedlings get munched like they are lettace.
This year I planted batchelor's buttons. Some I planted in the ground. Some in a pot. The ones in the pot grew very fast, and there were too many of them, so I had to thin them down. I put some of them into other pots. The ones that I seeded in the ground haven't grown very big now, there are about 1 or 2 inches high. The onces that I planted in the pot, that I didn't transplant, are giant! About 18 inches tall and blooming right now. It's night time so the blooms may be closed.
Ya, it really matters the conditions: critters that eat it when it is still a seedling assure that there won't be that many flowers.
I have also planted Scabosia, which is called Japanese Aster. These were doing nicely. But the inscets like them and they are being munched. I have no plan to save them.
Cry baby, Cry baby, where did you go? Of into wild drift of blizzarding snow?

It's August. People are harvasting their tomatoes. Other people don't have any tomatoes. The chipmunks will eat every single one while it's still very tiny. You need a fortified and fenced in garden.

Greetings from tree shaded yard!
Praise The Lord for insight given!
as an example . . . I have tried to do some introspective things as I come into awareness of my own flaws, and recognize the way I act and correct my self and make a better narrative for myself and for others.
you raise me up from far away when a memory of you lifts me!
Somethings never change nothing need stay the same ah, but on a website the constant change is kind-of the point . . .
change without continuity and tradition is often very hard to manage for those thrust into it. And thus the frame of things gives a place for the change to happen. If you violate that idea then you are coming up with something completely different and maybe no one will want to see your new idea, or use your great, new venue, because it's too far out, and very far away from what they currently care about. It's a nether or a meta and it's merely for a lark? Or does it become the next big thing? As fun as graphics are (CGI) and animation, and making a world to fly around in (like minetest, which is easy when you learn how) ultimately such a meta is a hollow place. It's a distraction during the season of gaming. It allows one to brush up on geometry and math, and architectural design, it gives people training in computer languages, it allows someone to make some graphical ideas, and pass a few hours of time every few days or so . . .
To live within such a realm really isn't possible.

previousPoem Shards just who reads, who writes these poems? off a mountain road the poet roams but only in a poem. Realizing that the empty is empty and not needing anything there. just who shows up and for what? I'm lonely or am alone or what does it matter? driving off towards the nothing walking along the nowhere path up high sure, it's a pretty view but seen it, done it, jaded, back to the air port he flew his fantasy of happy vacation was through.The deep snow.
The deep snow. She doesn't know how deep. She didn't think about it. Depth of snow no one know in rills and hollows where you shouldn't go when the storm is fierce and the night is cold even you shouldn't be so bold. poem is from 2012 short story titled Blizzard Baby The morning light is hued in cold awareness. Warming in the sun the bunny explores the snow covered lawn. The tracks melt by mid morning. Bunny doesn't know what the song means, anyway. This giant bubble that we call awareness?

After 40 different versions what can one say about it anymore? It's installed in all my systems, a day earlier. There are a few minor issues, but no show stoppers.
I did some stuff with lvm to resize a root area. That took a very long time. It's on a machine that maybe just should be retired . . .

Ya, I decided to load Fedora Core 38 Beta about a month ago, and this machine kept shutting down . . . I think I finally fixed it. Tomorrow is the big release day for the Fedora Core 38. My production workstation is still running FC37. I don't know if I'll jump right on it right away. . .
my server is still resetting, or maybe I have it fixed. I decided to just remove plasma-desktop, as I don't use it. The journals were giving all kinds of errors with that, and I think that might have been the issue, conflicting with the gdm that I do use. Worst case I'd just go to runlevel 3 but, as I said in another column, I don't really even know if anyone views these pages anyway.
My production box would upgrade but the dnf says it would downgrade grum and associated tools, and that's never a good thing to do. I'm just not going to do it! anyway I'll check tomorrow when the offical release is and probably do it then. If I'm in the mood.
So now I've run every version of Fedora serving this website! that's a long time.
April 17, 2023 8:28 PM ESThere is from a year ago:
It took some time to figure out how to defeat the new screensaver built in, but I was able to. It's the biggest downside to the new Gnome.
I set the keybindings to something I don't use, and then put in a custom keybinding to use the old tool.
There are other minor things that annoy too, like the restoration of a deleted file that I always have to delete again on every FC core upgrade. The file is name camera-shutte.oga. It's in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo

At the precipice of coding.
a mountain trail often has a place with a great view and a perilous fall if you wonder just a bit too far to one side of the trail. It's called a precipice. It's not a scary place. It's a safe place that one passes through.
OK, so I've done an update to FC34.
the biggest issue was . . . . drum roll . . .a lock up of gnome.
and if i clicked on the activities button I would need to reload (log out log back in).
I was able to run stuff without that, and thus determined a list of files that might need to be removed. I did as full reinstall of gnome as such:
dnf reinstall gnome
then I did a
dnf list installed |grep fc33
which gave me a list of files to consider uninstalling.
from that I got the following:
first odd issue:
sudo was not at first working! I had to install it! I kept the configuration file so I have my preferences still set up.
dnf install sudo dnf reinstall gnome-* dnf reinstall kde* dnf reinstall NetworkManager* dnf remove gnome-screensaver dnf remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-20.04.0-2.fc33.noarch dnf remove xorg-x11-xkb-extras-7.7-33.fc33.x86_64 dnf remove compat-openssl10-1:1.0.2o-11.fc33.x86_64 dnf remove mozjs60-60.9.0-7.fc33.x86_64
there are still some fc33 packages, (I also looked for fc32 packages, anything older that was gnome)
sudo dnf list installed |grep fc33 biber.noarch 2.14-4.fc33 @fedora gamin.x86_64 0.1.10-37.fc33 @fedora libgta.x86_64 1.0.9-5.fc33 @fedora
if removing a package also removed large numbers of other packages, I left it. For each of the few that I did remove, I always would make sure by reading what would happen before agreeing to the transaction.
now the gnome-shell is working and it doesn't lock up. So which of the packages that I removed made the difference? I am not sure.
and so after just a few short hours of install, I've got my system working in away that seems normal.
the new gnome shell moves the icons to the bottom of the screen.
I find gnome-shell to be annoyingly poppy at times. I tend to do things rapidly, and all the popping can be nauseating.
It is helpful to learn how to use dnf. I've found that the reverse history stuff works as long as you haven't made too many changes. It's a dicey, though, to try and go back to an older revision but I did it ONCE. Next time it didn't work out so well. AT that point it was installing dnf and yum from rpms.
and I had success. It's the kind of thing that when you know how to do it . . .
but there was one other trick that I needed and it was a scary way to reset a password and I did discover how to do it. I'm not sharing that one (barely remember) it's like these things exist in a nether, and it's best to . . . let the knowledge fade unless you need it. It's too scary to dwell in that space.
anyway, gnome shell is working. It's not flighty and hanging up. And all it took was to remove the old packages of gnome that might conflict with it. And now I can continue with my review.
