I do appreciate the bandage motif for the distancing markers at this urgent care. (Everything’s ok, this was the follow-up visit to an injury last week.)

No, brain, Duolingo and iNaturalist are not the same. I mean yes, they’re both green icons and they both have owls in them, but that’s about as far as it goes.

An outdoor mall extension completed in 2020. Which wasn’t exactly ideal timing.
The courtyard was at least someplace they could set up chairs and signs reminding you to keep your distance. I saw a few people walking through on their way to somewhere else (like I was), and could hear an exercise class running in the parking structure next door.

Who knew a hawk could be a birb?
Who knew a hawk could be a #birb?
Spotted in a park. Probably a Cooper’s Hawk.
I heard a lot of chirping from this tree, and saw a cluster that looks like it could be a nest near where this hawk was standing guard. It just kind of looked around the whole time even as I walked past the tree. If it was standing guard, it must have been able to tell I wasn’t a threat.

Heh. “Why Does Iceland’s Fagradalsfjall Volcano Look Like a School Science Project?”
Heh. “Why Does Iceland’s Fagradalsfjall Volcano Look Like a School Science Project?” And why the type of lava and type of eruption make it (comparatively) safe for people to see it up close.
Free brick! Spotted a few years ago, stumbled across the photo again today.

I really need to get the rest of the photos off my old phone so I can wipe it.
Across many experiments, participants tried to fix problems by adding stuff
Interesting: “Across many experiments, participants tried to fix problems by adding stuff” even when removing something was a simpler solution.
When asked to fix something, we don’t even think of removing parts
And now I’m reminded of an essay I saw years ago about how people are more likely to ask for a preference to change application behavior than just ask it to change.

TBH, though, Atlas Obscura got better photos than I did:

Kid mused about the possibility of a youtube channel that only showed coffee. So I told him about the original webcam that monitored a break room coffee pot for years. And of course from there we ended up on the joke RFC for Hypertext Coffee Pot Control Protocol, which also introduced the error code 418 I’m a teapot (whose response body MAY be short and stout).

Fridge lightbulb went out. Placed a pickup order at Target for a replacement. Added a few other things we don’t need immediately but could use soonish, figuring why waste an extra trip later. Got a notice at 9:30 that the order was ready, figured I’d wait until morning to pick it up.
I just looked at my email. They filled everything in the order…except the lightbulb.
