Also, the pictured fish had previously been killed by stabbing them through their brains. I don't like to cause them excessive suffering by letting them die from oxygen deprivation or stress.  I have also watched a number of people start cutting them up when they are alive and that's shrimply an unkind and gross thing to do. It also potentially dangerous if the fish is moving.  There is actually a good online resource for locating fish brains:

Nice posts, Anon. Glad you're having good luck with the fishing. Slightly jelly tbh!  :D

Keep up the good work.

I have caught 200 or so crappie in the last two weeks.  It's been a lot of fun, but all the fish but one have been on the small side. The legal size here is 9" inches, and almost all the fish I kept were under 10". I wish I could catch some more decently sized ones, but I believe the local lake doesn't provide the food needed for their sustained growth, at least not at their high population levels. It's a relatively shallow lake and it's bretty small, around 300 acres, so it lacks masses of shad or other pelagic food fishes.

A shrimple set of crappie weight estimates based on length for both species:

The only nice sized fish I have caught recently was a white crappie about 12.5" long.  It wood have been about triple the mass of a 9" fish.

I hadn't checked by this thread in a while. There is some nice stuff here toward the end.

Thanks. These are pretty adorable.

I went fishing this afternoon.  It was bretty caca, but It was nice to be outside.

You seem to have an intuitive understanding of potential factors that could go into creating a drum sound. It's an aluminum snare though, and from what I understand those are known for having more overtones than wooden ones.

I just switched heads for the first time, and it looks like it solved my problem. The new head still has a little ring to it, but I can easily dampen it now without getting a noisy metallic hum coming through. The only problem seems to be that the logo on the head is slightly misaligned due to my own carelessness, but that doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it yet.
>>17473
Thanks, I fixed the issue I was having. I'm glad I managed to have gotten it out of the way. I've had the new head sitting around for a few weeks now and finally managed to work myself up to swapping the heads out and tuning things all over again.

>>17889
Same. I sometimes check on my steam friend list to see if they still come online. Few of them come occasionally but the others haven't for a long time.

I suppose that's inevitable as people get older and their lives change.  I firmly believe these friendships can be just as real as any other though.

I thought I could make some friends after sharing my exclusive brand new software that I made but I was mistaken. I think I gotta make more software until I got a friend then. I 'm really into making new progamming software nowadays but recently my computer has been cacating the bed causing disruption of my work and lost some of my files. I really hate troubleshooting on computers at the time when I just want to write program . Why can't eberrything be smooth sailing without dealing with all these obstacles nonsense.

>>17924
Software? Which software if I may ask

I wasn't really sad; I know that Mother Nature does what she has to do, no matter what.
But I was really habby to feel spring in the air before we fell back under the grip of a winter that just won't let go. We're in the home stretch: we should have nice weather berry soon :)

I was habby, this is the first year my lilac has bloomed since I planted it.
Except that the other day I cooked some cabbage and thought it wood be a good idea to save the cooking water to water my plants (once it had cooled, of course).
What a stupid thing to do—without diluting it first, the cabbage cooking water is too concentrated with nutrients, and the flowers didn’t appreciate it: they shrimply got burned.
Now I see the bees coming to gather nectar from what’s left of the flowers, and I feel sorry for them, since I had such big, appetizing blooms before that.

In conclusion, be careful if you use the cooking water from certain vegetables, and dilute it so as not to harm your precious little plants.

Bummer. I hope your lilac comes in double next year though!

These are some photos from around the garden. The irises and columbines are blooming and my ferns are getting bretty big.  I'll have more vegetable stuff later.
>>17796
That's unfortunate. Do you know what chemical specifically is responsible?

Whoops, here are the ferns. They are about 30" tall now.  They came with the house and I have no idea what kind they are.

Nice trips.
I also found /comfy/ on Wiby, but that was at the time when it was hosted by anon.cafe.

It's funny, I always assumed people only stumbled into the ring after 8ch died.

There was quite a migration wave at that time, but some birds came in quite earlier.

Maybe it was instinct. Can you smell trouble anon?

The Ecchoing Green, by William Blake

The sun does arise,
And make habby the skies.
The merry bells ring
To welcome the Spring.
The sky-lark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around,
To the bells’ cheerful sound. 
While our sports shall be seen
On the Ecchoing Green.
 
Old John, with white hair 
Does laugh away care,

From Act I: Morning of Pippa Passes by Robert Browning.

The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in his heaven—
All's right with the world!

>>17069
Good one anon. Just discovered Robert Browning.

I liked this one too:

Oh, good gigantic smile o’ the brown old earth,
This autumn morning! How he sets his bones
To bask i’ the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet
For the ripple to run over in its mirth;
Listening the while, where on the heap of stones
The white breast of the sea-lark twitters sweet.

That is the doctrine, shrimple, ancient, true;
Such is life’s trial, as old earth smiles and knows.
If you loved only what were worth your love,

Often the best in us springs from the worst in us.

By André Gide

Fragile, like a dream,
Beautiful, like a moment,
All  life...

Agreed. I knew i was going to install Chicago95 before switching to Mint. But when I saw the UI of Mint Xfce, I couldn't decide for a while.

I recently went back to it, it really is. Works a lot better than it used to, too.

this is really well done, the windows wrapping around the bar as well.
i guess i should try fvwm, also to all you people that desire retro aesthetics, old kde versions, windowmaker, fvwm, twm etc are also worth investigating
