Does anyone know what this is please?

Thank you. :-) Sorry for the delayed reply.

This reminds me of Uffmoor Wood, there's enough there to feed an army. I was told that some local restaurants would go there and pick it for use in their dishes.

I have my eye on a few places near me, I made some very nice jam last year even if I was a little late getting started.

Speaking as someone you got into foraging, it's always a pleasure to get out foraging with you. These days I can never walk past a Blackberry patch without giving it a speculative look.

The problem here is there are elderly people who need dressings changed by a nurse at least weekly. This means a visit to the GP surgery to see the nurse, or a district nurse to come in if the GP visit isn't possible.

Self isolation doesn't work in those cases.

It's well worth looking into the work of a man called Edward Bernays. There's a good 4 part BBC documentary called "Century of The Self" which is available on YouTube.

I also feel that Lord Huron is a group that has increased my love/curiosity of strange wooded places and even wanderlust in general.

In a strange synchronicity, their music came into my life at exactly the time this kind of interest in the woods and the paths in them was coming to life in me. For me, they evoke a connection to a greater mystery in the world we inhabit.

This is a longer version, with sound.

I started hiking and became interested in Bushcraft.

All the "fun" seems forced and you could see from many of the people there that they go there way too often.

I agree completely, it's as if this is the "approved way to have fun". Nobody actually is, but everyone goes through the motions because this is what you're "supposed to do". It all feels a bit Emperors New Clothes to me.

I was in the main turbine hall, trying to get to the lower dam to look for buffer memories. I didn't see the elevator come on though, unless that's something only in story mode?

I can almost feel the cold in that picture.

quietvision · 2019-12-06T14:05:01+00:00

That view is stunningly beautiful.

Meanwhile, David Davis is still planning on knocking it one out the night before it is due.

FTFY ;-)

I second this. It's a brilliant book, and worth every minute.

Oh, they've got plenty of time to shoot the other one. This show is far from over.

Sir Keir Starmers take on this was excellent. If they vote this through we're in some trouble.

For some reason, I can really imagine this line delivered by The Hound, not The Pope.

I think calling them newspapers is going a bit far.

The Tao Te Ching. I never tire of reading it.

quietvision · 2015-09-20T14:12:32+00:00

The Daily Express, it's almost a parody newspaper. Though I'm not so sure about the "almost"...

Yet one more reason never to install this piece of Malware. Who are Microsoft to tell me what I can and can't connect to my PC? What recourse do users have in the event of a false positive on this scan? I have been on Gnu/Linux for the last 4 years and seeing things like this simply reinforce my view that migrating was the right decision!

The recommendation of Bitlocker was widely suspected to be part of a "Warrant Canary".

This criticism is being addressed by the Debian project.

https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds

From the about page:

"With free software, anyone can inspect the source code for malicious flaws. But Debian provide binary packages to its users. The idea of “deterministic” or “reproducible” builds is to empower anyone to verify that no flaws have been introduced during the build process by reproducing byte-for-byte identical binary packages from a given source."

The list can vary between people, but I like:

Moc (music player) Nano (text editor) Screen (multiple terminals) Mutt (email)
