Last summer I got really taken by the idea of learning CSS and building a website or at least playing around with my DW layout, but I quickly realized that I liked the idea of doing this stuff more than actually doing it. Anyway, this is a community for people who like tinkering with DW layouts and styles and stuff. Mostly seems like people asking how to do certain stuff and people trying to help them figure it out. Nice!

Русские - удивительные люди. Ненавидят религиозных евреев и едут жить в Израиль. Потом ноют, что жизни нет от мракобесов. Ненавидят мусульман, но едут отдыхать в Европу. Потом плюются и ноют, что европейцы погубили Европу пустив мусульман. И опять едут туда отдыхать. Ненавидят кавказцев, но как рабочую силу используют с удовольствием. Ненавидят загнивающий Запад, но пытаются ему подражать
Зато украинцев обожают как братьев. Убивают и оккупируют веками.

Это я прочитала пост одного израильского руси, который хочет поехать отдыхать в Европу, но не находит там ни одной страны без мусульман. Ну, езжай в рашку - только там ты найдёшь любимые скрепы и близких по духу людей. Но ему зачем-то в Европу надо. Зачем? Непонятно.

Public

According to the local BBC this morning, the minority Reform administration has been ousted. After a full council meeting, it was replaced by a coalition of Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Greens and independents. Possibly a rather unwieldy alliance, but we shall see. There's often more pragmatism at local level than at national regarding what at first might seem to be uneasy bedfellows such as Tories and Greens. There has to be, since councils have such difficulties anyway that hyper-partisanship is often disastrous.

Я думаю, что к предсказаниям человека, который за пару дней до начала полномасштабной войны в Украине высмеивал людей говорящих о возможности такой войны, стоит очень внимательно прислушиваться. Если человек с маразмом говорит, что чего-то точно не произойдёт, это уже знак
https://albetina.livejournal.com/697873.html
Хотя, отдельные законы, правительство и даже премьер-министр мало что изменят. Проблема не в них. Проблема в народе, который стремительно деградирует. Вот, например, рассуждение типичного русского избирателя в Израиле:
"И вот тут может возникнуть, да по сути и возникает, некая развилка. Что лучше, как этот самый "ключик"? Упертые пейсатые или хоть относительно, но вменяемые арабы?
Лично я категорически и полностью за Мансура Аббаса. Для меня он, несомненно, предпочтительнее. Хотя, очень подозреваю, и во всю голову ёбнутый бандит."

Неудивительно, что это тупое, антисемитское, ебанутое быдло получает 7 октября. И ещё не так получит.
В данном случае назвать это тупым, антисемитским, ебанутым быдлом - хамство? Любому адекватному, разумному человеку ясно, что это констатация факта. Но тупое, антисемитское, ебанутое быдло может называть это хамством.

Фидуциарий — это лицо, принявшее на себя обязательство действовать в интересах и от имени другого лица в конкретном вопросе, при обстоятельствах, порождающих отношения доверия.
Фидуциарный управляющий не должен использовать своё положение и доверие для личного обогащения за счёт принципала. Закон требует от такого управляющего проявлять высшую степень заботы и проявления доброй воли в содержании, развитии, приумножении и сохранении доверенных активов и прав, и возлагает на него убытки, полученные в результате фидуциарного управления, и штрафы за злоупотребление доверием принципала.

This year during Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I'm writing about reading as a way of becoming an expert in a given subject. Read Part 1: Introduction to Becoming an Expert, Part 2: Architecture, Part 3: Dance, Part 4: Music, Part 5: Painting, Part 6: Poetry, Part 7: Sculpture, Part 8: Conflict Resolution, Part 9: Cooking, Part 10: Coping Skills, Part 11: Gardening, Part 12: Relationship Skills, Part 13: Repairing, Part 14: Survival Skills, Part 15: Archaeology, Part 16: Biology, Part 17: Chemistry, Part 18: Linguistics, Part 19: Meteorology.


Three Weeks for Dreamwidth Part 20: Physics

Physics is the science of studying matter (like atoms), its motion (like inertia), and related aspects like force and energy. We all experience aspects of physics everyday; the difference between steering an empty grocery cart and a full one is a matter of mass and inertia. It's just that inept teachers make it seem hard and unfamiliar instead of a normal part of life. But you can use physics to optimize your skateboard stunts or any other sport; it's there in video game design; it's all around us. Aspects include astrophysics, biophysics, electromagnetism, hydrodynamics, optics, quantum physics, and solid-state physics. Here on Dreamwidth, check out [community profile] common_nature, [community profile] environment, [community profile] interested_in_that, [community profile] science, and [community profile] scienceworld. [community profile] space_swap is a rocket-inspired fanwork fest.

С новым утром!

Ночь в Киеве прошла громко. Около часу ночи началась тревога, которая продолжается и до сих пор. Мы с организмом проснулись в четверть четвёртого от очень громких и близких бабахов - дребезжали стёкла в окне, а на улице у автомобилей включилась сигнализация. Бабахи шли сериями примерно по четыре. Типа, бах-бах-бах-бах, минуту спустя бах-бах-бах-бах и т.д. При этом вжиков от пусков не было, сразу бабахи. По этому поводу мне потом до утра снилось, что это не зенитные ракеты, а что-то заложенное/сброшенное на землю. В шесть сорок нас вновь разбудила такая же серия взрывов. Организм сказал: "Да ну его на фиг, давай спать дальше", - но тут раздались более отдалённые бабахи и стало ясно, что пора вставать.

Коллега написал, что у него на левом берегу стрельба началась часа в два и продолжается до сих пор (было семь утра). Ещё одна коллежанка из центра написала просто, что было очень громко.

Глянул новости. Пишут про большой комбинированный налёт на Город. Сначала шайтан-собаки, а часов с трёх ночи добавились крылатые ракеты. На левом берегу попали в жилую шестнадцатиэтажку. Обрушился подъезд. Спасатели разгребают завалы и нашли уже одного погибшего и шестнадцать пострадавших.

Такая вот бурная ночь.

Засим откланиваюсь.

Далі буде.

P.S. Тревога закончилась без четверти девять.

I had a really nice time last night at the skeptics in the pub meeting. Then today I went to meet an old buddy from my (unfortunately discontinued) atheist club and we had a great lunch at this hot chicken place and we smoked some weed. On the bus on the way home there were these two women having this huge fight, I was trying not to listen but it seemed to be about one of them refusing to go to the hospital for some sort of treatment and when I got off one of them walked right into me. Then when I walked past the hospital, it's in the next block from my apt bldg, one of the women was yelling her head off to nobody right outside the door. Then when I was waiting to cross the street to get to my bldg this teenage boy made a very gross sexual comment to me. I just gave him a really dirty look and crossed the street. Then I had to go into the bldg through the front office because the front gates are still busted and they locked the office doors even though they weren't on their break so I had to bang on them. I made some comment about the lack of security with the gates messed up and the garage doors open all the time so anybody can get in the bldg and one of them told me they have security guards. I don't believe it but I was just too polite to say so and I just said I didn't see them. Then she tells me this one guy who works there who I really dislike because he's always rude to me came back (he'd been on vacation for a whole month) and I go "why are you telling me this?" which I then perceived might be considered rude (I was stoned, did I mention that?) so I go "I'm sorry, I mean I already know that, I saw the sign" (there was a sign up saying he'd come back) so I think I made that save OK and I don't think I'm going to get in trouble for that. Then that damn boy followed me in and tries to make this really fakie sounding apology. You should have seen this guy, he was like a better looking Butthead, I swear. I told him to take a hike. Then I went into my apt and watched movies.

Pacific Northwest's ‘forest gardens' were deliberately planted by Indigenous people

Finding suggests humans have added value to forests in lasting ways.

For decades, First Nations people in British Columbia knew their ancestral homes—villages forcibly emptied in the late 1800s—were great places to forage for traditional foods like hazelnuts, crabapples, cranberries, and hawthorn. A new study reveals that isolated patches of fruit trees and berry bushes in the region's hemlock and cedar forests were deliberately planted by Indigenous peoples in and around their settlements more than 150 years ago. It's one of the first times such "forest gardens" have been identified outside the tropics, and it shows that people were capable of changing forests in long-lasting, productive ways.



That is what agriculture looked like before some Middle Eastern and European folks got the idea of monocropping fields. Most of the planet was food forest for a very long time. People planted things alongside the trails they used, around where they lived, anywhere they went. They planted not just food crops but also craft materials, medicinal plants, and whatever would attract their preferred prey species.

Half His AgeFinished Reading Since Last WR
This is my first Wednesday Reading, but I most recently finished Half His Age. It took my just a few days to read it because I couldn't put it down! Jeanette McCurdy writes in a really addictive, raw, and blunt style. It was really good, an easy five stars from me. What surprised me about it was how much agency and control she gave the main character--how she was the younger pursuer in the age gap relationship and how other characters around her ruined their lives. The book didn't feel like a warning or patronizing, but you could see this unhealthy relationship play out because the main character's home life was so bad and she felt so directionless that she just wanted to reach out and control something. The writing captured desperation and shame and awkwardness really well. Not a comfortable read, but it'll be one of my favorites this year, I think.

A Deadly Inside ScoopCurrently Reading
I'm currently reading A Deadly Inside Scoop by Abby Collette. It's fine so far. I'm not big on "cozy" books or mystery books and this is, well, a cozy mystery--which seems to be a popular genre. And I don't know how much of the dullness I can blame on the genre and how much I can blame on the writing. I like set the up (a woman returns home to Small Town, Ohio to run her family's ice cream shop and someone gets murdered just outside its door) and the characters (said character takes all the action into her own hands with her friend's help trying to find the killer since the police are suspecting her father), but I'm not on the edge of my seat. It's especially cozy and slow, with plenty of time for fluff and ice cream and flirting with a local professor. I guess proper mystery might be more my speed. I'm almost done with the book too and honestly I have no idea who committed the murder. I am only sure that it's not actually her dad because of the cozy nature. We'll see.

Reading Next
On a whim, I stopped at the library a few days ago and got two books: Michelle Obama's Becoming and T. Kingfisher's Nettle and Bone. I'll flip a coin when I'm finished with Inside Scoop to decide which to read, unless someone has a recommendation either way?

This here is my fourth blog. 

The first vanished.  I destroyed it after I made an untoward observation concerning my boss at the time actually marrying a Thai hooker.  A rival who I mistakenly told about the blog told my boss to get some traction going on his failing career.  I survived, he didn't, but I still took down the blog.

Then I wrote over at  https://mightaswellliebackandenjoyit.blogspot.com/ for quite a while until I got sick of trolls, then I went to hide at 

https://desgringueler.wordpress.com/  for a while but I was not fond of the user interface, so I ended up here.

I had forgotten about the wordpress, that was a time of struggle.

Сайт, где можно посотреть ранжирование в продуктах того или иного полезного вещества или пищевого компонента.
Например, по холину. Наиболее распространенными источниками холина в продуктах питания являются жирорастворимые фосфолипиды, а также водорастворимые соединения: фосфохолин, глицерофосфохолин и свободный холин.
Холин незаменим, он - жизненно важное полезное вещество: для работы печени, развития мозга, мышечной активности и обмена веществ. Наш организм сам вырабатывает его в небольших количествах в печени, но основную его часть необходимо получать с пищей (яйца, печень, рыба, мясо, плоды, семена) чтобы избежать дефицита, который может привести к повреждению печени (и не только). Организму необходим холин для синтеза фосфатидилхолина и сфингомиелина — двух основных фосфолипидов, жизненно важных для клеточных мембран. Так же из холина получается ацетилхолин- нейротрансмиттер, и он участвует в метилировании (часть обмена веществ и регуляции активности генома). Рекомендуемая суточная норма потребления для взрослых- 425–550 мг.

Today is partly cloudy and mild.

I fed the birds.  I haven't seen much activity yet.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 5/13/26 -- We went out plant shopping.  First stop was Graber's in Tuscola.  They had 'Gypsy' peppers! :D 3q3q3q!!!  I bought six, plus a few other things.  I got a firecracker plant for the barrel garden, and a 'Truffula' pink globe amaranth.  Those are the last of the main flowers for the barrel garden, although I'll wedge in some marigolds if possible.

We also went to Backyard Gardens in Chesterville.  There I picked up a purple petunia with white spots and a white superbell for the big blue pot, plus a fancy coleus for the grape pot and a few other things.  I still need to visit Home Depot for things like 8-packs of marigolds, lobelia, and so on.  But today I found all the planned things and some others that I needed, so that's a big improvement. \o/

EDIT 5/13/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 5/13/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 5/13/26 -- I planted the whole Graber's flat of 10 plants. \o/ *accomplished*

EDIT 5/13/26 -- I planted the white-spotted purple petunia, white superbell, and purple torenia in the big blue pot.  I planted the 'Vintage Violet' yarrow in the septic garden.  I planted the Indian mint in the trough pot on the old picnic table, which finished that. \o/

EDIT 5/13/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 5/13/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 5/13/26 -- I planted the 3-pack of gazania in a trough pot by the new picnic table garden.

I watered plants in the new picnic table garden.

As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

I really love writing drabbles...it's a fun challenge, and good editing practice. I like the process of taking a little idea for a scene or a moment or a feeling, letting myself explore it pretty freely, and then whittling it down to this very tight and specific word count. And drabbles are some of my favorite things to read...I love seeing the creative ways people work within the form. There are a few drabble communities out there, but somehow I don't think I'd ever seen this one before. Anyway, it's pretty straightforward: a weekly prompt for drabbles and drabble variations in any fandom. On a quick scroll through, I saw a good variety of fandoms represented, including some pretty small ones I think, along with some original poetry and fiction. Cool!
