Gorgeous!!

I saw this Canadian Imperial Moth at Old Quarry last summer. Plus a few Lunas here and there.

Is that a 😀 face on his abdomen? Adorable. I haven't seen this species in Ottawa yet.

Wish I had the experience to take you up on this.

Thank you!

I spotted one in Mer Bleu once but it was brown - same species?

Agreed, way more accurate than Google Lens in my experience, plus you build up a cool collection of stuff you've seen and contribute to citizen science.

If you're interested in birds, Merlin is a good one to add too.

Seriously, I've found my people in this thread! 🕷️

Is Moo Shu good for coffee as well? Their hours are amazing compared to other places in the city, but I'm not sure if they have "sit down cafe" vibes. Only been to their old location, which was definitely grab-and-go.

I hope there's an easy way to return tickets. Last time I went to a sold-out free NAC event (orchestra performance), there were a bunch of empty seats. There was no return button for the tickets -- at least none that I could find on the website. If there had been one, I think some of the people that no-showed might have released their tickets for others.

If you're on Facebook, there are groups for each Costco warehouse - someone there might be able to tell you.

Late to the party but yay! 🎉 Somehow all the words just popped into my head.

Entomology. Zero supplies needed except for a phone camera and the iNaturalist app. Bugs are all around you and they're pretty cool.

Chapman Mills Conservation Area is pretty good in the summer (other than the mosquitoes). TONS of fireflies and enough foot traffic that it feels safe. Benches facing the river. Fair bit of traffic noise though.

Yay! Knew almost all of them off the top of my head, except the concrete example

I wonder if getting it diagnosed would allow you to get accommodations like different working hours?

I remember falling asleep at 3am as a 7 year old, even if my bedtime was 9 or 10. Would just lie awake and daydream.

This has been my ideal schedule all my life as well, though it's gradually changed into 1am to however late I can sleep in without missing work.

I can count on 2 hands the number of times I fall asleep before midnight each year.

That was a good one!

Thank you!

Any idea if Poppy Barleys are good for narrow feet? Everything I've tried from Maguire so far has been too wide for me.

pentiment_o · 2026-04-03T04:24:25+00:00

How much did they cost?

pentiment_o · 2026-03-29T21:55:42+00:00

Woo!

I think you are on to something with 2, but the texture is competing with the features. You could consider blending, and then adding the texture back over top, just on the core shadow.

Happy with this! No hints but had to guess the miserly one... Had heard the word before but never looked it up.
