Maybe their diet would shift but a lot of animals eat ticks. Frogs and toads, many smaller birds like warblers and probably house sparrows and robins, chickens love them, and of course opposums and mice.

Similar for mosquitos. I see the house sparrows around here catching mosquitos all the time. I’m pretty sure dragon flies feed heavily on them too.

Wow I haven’t read a good chunk of this list, and I thought I was a sci-fi book afficionado. Thanks for adding to my summer reading list! Might start with either Parable of the Sower or Never Let Me Go.

I did my first track workout on Thursday. Felt good so went for a run yesterday. Took some wrong turns (live in a new city) and ended up doing 15 miles. Today is supposed to be my long run but I might just do a recovery run because I’m so tired!

I tried that out and posted the picture in another comment in this thread (https://lemmy.world/comment/10346090). I think it’s better but I have some more to learn. Your photo is brilliant!

Thanks, that’s exactly how I took the photo. It was approaching sunset so I think the colors are a little yellow because of that and just how brown the river is. I adjusted the colors like the other comment suggested and I think it looks better:

Thanks, I’ve been practicing getting the focus sharp. It’s a tough battle between my phone’s autofocus vs manual bino adjustments and keeping the phone+bino stable. I still feel I have more work to do on that too.

I see cormorants all the time here too, I just loved how this one was screaming at something. On this walk, I saw only one cormorant but 60ish Canada geese (with a ton of goslings!), so the cormorant felt rare today. I also saw a blue heron but he flew too far away for me to get a good picture.

I would also recommend checking out salome. It has a parametric CAD module like you would be used to in SolidWorks. It felt a little less finicky to me than freecad , and I also think it has more controllable STL generation compared to freecad.

I think sometime went wrong with your KDE frameworks description. Looks like the some python notes got in there instead.

Love seeing all the updates! OpenSUSE has been working great for me.

One more thing. Running hydrogen, even in blends of 30% hydrogen/70% natural gas, creates a large amount of extra NOx production. NOx, of course, is a pretty nasty pollutant. We need to redesign our current natural gas burners to help control NOx at high hydrogen blends.
