First-World Problems...

I'm having a tough time with even a FirstWorldProblem^TM. We have had several days of absolutely spectacular late-summer weather, I touched up some trim in the kitchen without spilling a gallon of paint, Amazon managed to deliver the batteries for one of the smoke detectors within several hours of ordering so I didn't have to listen to the alarm panel nag me to fix it, and I made a kick-ass brisket yesterday (more anon).

Wait! The lavender plant in the front yard isn't growing as much as I wanted. The internet assured me that if I pinched off the flowers, the vegetative growth would overwhelm the neighborhood in a matter of a few months.

The internet is apparently NOT all-knowing.

Shana Tova everyone!

9 Lavenders eventually end up looking like tumbleweeds in California. Even when well watered.

Jasmine is awesome. If there’s shade. Lantanas are gorgeous and bring in butterflies. Until they shrivel up and die in the first frost (keep them cozy next to the house). But rosemary just grows and gives rats a great place to nest, to boot!!!😄🐀

Yeah, it's a weird name for a native North American plant. It actually grows better in the northern 2/3rds of the country than it does here but I am going to try anyway. If I can get it to propagate, I will sneak it into all the vacant lots and overgrown ditches I can.

24 As a kid, I used to love going to the local Renaissance festivals. Over the years, I've still enjoyed it, but less so as time passes.

Last weekend, I went...and it was miserable. Maybe I'm just old and cynical, maybe I just see through the matrix, but it seems less like a Medieval/Renaissance event, and more like a teens and adult children D&D con, with lame costumes and junk vendors, all slathered over with a LGBTQIA2S+ sheen.

27 Around July I did a severe cutback-pruning on my 2 rose bushes. Like about 85% cutback. Almost down to stumps. One had overgrown my fence and was 12 ft. high.
Both are blooming like crazy right now. All I did was water them every other week. I can't neglect them anymore. Maybe I'll send before-after pics to the garden thread.

65 Hoisted on his own petard...

NEW YORK (AP) — Jann Wenner, who co-founded Rolling Stone magazine and also was a co-founder of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, has been removed from the hall’s board of directors after making comments that were seen as disparaging toward Black and female musicians. He apologized within hours...

Wenner created a firestorm doing publicity for his new book “The Masters,” which features interviews with musicians Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend and U2’s Bono — all white and male.

Asked why he didn’t interview women or Black musicians, Wenner responded: “It’s not that they’re inarticulate, although, go have a deep conversation with Grace Slick or Janis Joplin. Please, be my guest. You know, Joni (Mitchell) was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test,” he told the Times.

Posted by: m at September 17, 2023 02:59 PM (LodBx)

112 "most clematis varieties thrive in locations that provide ample sunlight, preferably six hours or more per day. Well-draining soil enriched with organic matter is also essential. Clematis prefer moist, well-drained soil that's neutral to slightly alkaline in pH. If your soil tends to be acidic, you should sweeten it periodically with limestone or a little wood ash. Before planting, ensure the area has sufficient space for the vine to grow, and consider providing a sturdy trellis or support structure for the plant to climb.

How to Plant and Care for Clematis
The best time to plant clematis is during the early spring or fall."

Looks like you're good on Fall planting; but, I thought one of your FWP was poorly draining soil? You might need to do a bit of soil amending before you plant.

119 Yeah, it's a weird name for a native North American plant. It actually grows better in the northern 2/3rds of the country than it does here but I am going to try anyway. If I can get it to propagate, I will sneak it into all the vacant lots and overgrown ditches I can.
Posted by: G'rump928(c) at September 17, 2023 02:11 PM (aD39U)

It grows in the northwest, it grows in CA it grows in the plains, Sacajawea found a big cache of it for the Lewis and Clark expedition in Montana, it grows like poison oak. I can't eat it, it has too much inulin and gives me horrible unending gas.
the Spanish name for sunflower is "girasol" and for some reason that got changed to "Jerusalem"
It will also come up repeatedly worse than horseradish.

Actually horseradish is another "weedy" plant you can plant in vacant lots for fun. I will boil the leaves for greens in the spring. I am going to try to grate some up and make sauce this fall

I saw something really cool yesterday, here in the SE corner of PA. I was sitting by a wide lake with clear view of the horizon for miles. Overhead was crystal clear but to the north and east a circle of clouds, to the north and west a slowly circling but same cloud wall. The no-longer hurricane was at least 500 miles away. But that's how far the cloud wall extended.

That's an unbelievable amount of energy.

Like, water coming out of the top of the garbage disposal if I wash something large, like a large skillet or pan. My pipes are very old within the building so my options are limited. For now, though, my drain is draining and not backing up, the garbage disposal works, and all is, um, no terrible. I haven't used the ancient dishwasher yet. That's the next replacement but I'll have to get a plumber to replace the old pipes under the sink first. Well, the ones that haven't been replaced already. Meh. Old condos can be expensive.

It's a lot easier to get everything you need working in Mint now then it was at version 17 or so. And they've made upgrades easy as well. As a UNIX "expert" I appreciate that I spend about zero time doing UNIX stuff on this machine.

192 I have one v.expensive watch. Wife gave it to me decades ago. She later claimed she got one hell of a deal and it was under a thousand; "they tell me" it's worth around $5K now. I would not have any idea whether it is accurate to 30 sec/day, because I keep it in a locked container and only put it on for Rolex occasions. May have used it three days in a row once or twice; other than that, it completely runs down between uses.

Found out by back-handing an exposed-crown Bulova into equipment I was moving (twice) that you don't wear a watch on a job that is worth more than a hundred. Recently I found out that my hundred-dollar watch is $175 now.

198 24 Last Renfaire I merchanted at was over run with pirates and fairies (the kind with wings). The pirates were okay. They were mostly adults and could carry on a decent conversation. The fairies were terrible. They ran around in costumes made of chiffon, waved really weird wands, and acted like a bunch of two-year olds.

I distinctly remember the merchant application mentioning Renfaire, not pirates, not fairies. There was supposed to be a pirate thing a couple months down the road.

I am wearing an $11 "Ecosse" watch I bought 4 or 5 years ago at WalMart. Crystal is cracked, and has welding slag pits, but still keeps good time. With a metal expansion band, which will break before my arm does. I regard a wrist watch as a timekeeping appliance, not jewelry. I have a nice Studebaker pocket watch I can wear for ritzy occasions.

Biggest problem with linux today is drivers. So, if you like cutting edge hardware--best to either only buy the brands that support linux or stay away from cutting edge hardware. Laptops are the biggest problem right now because a lot of them use very proprietary drivers and power management schemes that can break under Linux. Intel inside laptops are a bit better for porting to linux btw than those by AMD partners and Dell did install Linux on laptops but dunno now.

Brother and Epson have good support for linux on new hardware in printers and scanners (Canon did as well in the past) Hp sucked at it. So buy Brother and Epson hardware (maybe Canon). Graphics card drivers can be another bugaboo--best to stand back a bit from the cutting edge. Motherboards, Intel has superior support for Linux, AMD and its partners, spotty but doable.

Laptop or desktop? Laptops are more difficult to unbrick but Rescatux on a Live USB can do the job of rescuing files, fixing boot loaders like Grub, etc. Was free to download the last time I checked and it will fix a lot of Linux or even Windows problems when the OS won't boot.
https://www.supergrubdisk.org/rescatux/

You will however, have to change the boot sequence in bios to boot from a usb or even a live dvd. So you need to know your way around your bios and it might also be a good time to upgrade the motherboard bios while you have to go in there.
