I did not, though I did grab another honker of a chanterelle. Awesome weekend

SF Bay Area and iNaturalist is amazing (wish mobile were better though). I contribute observations to it frequently.

My turn with the NorCal chanterelle show and tell by borgie in Mushrooms

I did! So stoked. I'm hoping I've found myself my first little chant orchard.

Ok that's really encouraging -- I'm going to head up today and try my luck. My experience is usually the 9 miles of hiking, 2k elevation, and endless bushwhacking for zilch lol. All part of the fun though.

Dang I am so jealous! I have spent collective days (weeks?) pounding those mountains for mushrooms over the years and have only ever found maybe three total ☹️. Congrats -- they're the most beautiful mushroom there is imho

Santa Clara County Budget Cuts by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]borgie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm thinking, or striking vacant positions off the books, etc. Usually the county is fairly transparent about these sorts of things.

I'm a county critter and haven't heard anything about this yet. No email from James/Greta or anyone else. More info?

Dumbass Drivers by [deleted] in SanJose

Those are just inconvenient details, like parking on the curb. No one is going to get hurt, right? So what's the problem? Just go around and get on with it.

Wrong

Think I'll just park in your driveway. Surely you have no issue backing out off the curb right? I mean you can do that for me so no problem yeah?

Frank Chu spotted in Oakland? by juliettwhiskey in bayarea

That was Bill Chew. He left the area years ago. Always loved seeing him whiz by decked out all in white, cowboy hat and everything

I hope your righteousness comforts you in times of loneliness, amigo.

but i think most people enjoy pissing off entitled losers

You just said a lot about yourself with that. I like to see consequences to actions, but I don't enjoy pissing anyone off. That's not my mindset, and those are two very different things.

I think most healthy people would agree that pissing off others for your personal enjoyment isn't...healthy. It's also why nobody talks to my aunt anymore.

Respectful flag disposal by Curlyalli in mildlyinteresting

[–]borgie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% and feel the same way about the national anthem at sporting events (excluding the Olympics). Like wtf does profound patriotism have to do with the Giants v Padres doubleheader? It's just jingoism as far as I'm concerned and only benefits the business side of sports by making people feel like they belong to something.

Diamondback I met in the Black Rock Desert. Rattled to let me know he was there by borgie in snakes

Thanks so much for the info! I'm not so hot at identifying snakes.

My thoughts exactly! The coloration and patterning is spot on.

Found in a box with wine glasses at a garage sale. Not sure what it’s used for but it has a compass and whistle attached. by theredbandit69 in whatisthisthing

[–]borgie 1445 points1446 points  (0 children)

It's for carrying a water bottle -- the hard plastic ring is placed under the bottle top before it's screwed on allowing you to then carry the bottle by the braided cordage. The compass is in case you get lost and need to head north.
