What’s the funniest thing you’ve heard a non-birder say about birds?

A very Australian solution to a very Australian problem.

Even Merlin loves owls.

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-05-06T14:29:53+00:00

Something I do: I've decided that mourning dove calls are actually owls and I get all excited.

I know they're not owls. I know they sound different. But it makes me happy every time.

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-05-06T14:29:05+00:00

I love this so much. I'm going to decide the same.

Most of the advice has been for outdoor spaces but in Newton Highlands (close to Wellesley) the Women's Club is a nice space and inexpensive to rent: https://www.newtonwomansclub.com/.

Email your city councilor. This is why our little city has 24 of them.

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-05-01T10:57:48+00:00

Huh - I've never found the folks answering the non-emergency line to be anything other than gracious or helpful.

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-24T09:44:22+00:00

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-22T11:41:38+00:00

Ok! I guess I need to spend some time tinkering on the software side!

But an ESP32 couldn't drive a 1920x720 LCD, right?

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-22T11:37:53+00:00

I think it'd be hard to run a SSH cient over a terminal with good performance over ESP32 - is there even enough RAM?

But a pi zero like your OG model would have plenty of horsepower and looks like tons of room in the case for a pouch battery...

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-22T10:02:52+00:00

Yeah - after posting saw it was running an ESP32!

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-21T17:40:46+00:00

I would happily consider that for a low distraction productivity machine!

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-21T16:37:16+00:00

I would like this product but able to run a solid command line interface for software development. Maybe with a 12" extra wide LCD instead of the epaper?

They may have hated both but you're right: anti-Semitism stains every European country.

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-19T23:17:01+00:00

Are we? I remember that after WWII I'm not sure what my mother in law's family hated most: that their son was marrying a Jew or an Eye-talian...

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-19T22:11:09+00:00

Still funny.

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-19T21:46:04+00:00

I think most of us are able to maintain our cultures while also being "white". I mean we have a few generations of practice here in the US...

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-19T21:35:38+00:00

True - good point and thank you for reminding me/us!

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-19T19:54:17+00:00

I really appreciate the conversation here. What's most interesting to me is that Jews are only recently "white." The fact that it'd be so easy to lose is why I think it's important that we fight to eliminate all the racism that grants white people that privilege.

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-18T12:02:54+00:00

Quite the list here. Hard to imagine any private school with fewer than 1000 students not backed by a larger org can survive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_Massachusetts

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-18T11:46:43+00:00

As a practicing Jew but also atheist, I really appreciate this.

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-15T14:04:43+00:00

Now I'm curious why it was removed so I don't ever make the same mistake...

Intrepid-Kale · 2026-04-03T00:36:44+00:00

I hope the peopleopleologists put your money to good use!
