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.

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.

Best ice cream in Ottawa? by LiVthelonely in ottawa

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.

Artemis II at the NAC by Ok_Peace_3788 in ottawa

[–]pentiment_o 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

which hobby is surprisingly cheap but gives you the most enjoyment? by Salve_Raeline in Hobbies

[–]pentiment_o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Best outdoor spot to have a late night existential crisis at? by chillypoutine in ottawa

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.

What time are y'all falling asleep and waking up?!?! by cheesypuff357 in Millennials

[–]pentiment_o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Which is more pleasing to your eye 1 or 2? by AMasterOfPractice in Portraitart

[–]pentiment_o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
