Update my turtles

youless @youless (113376) • Guangzhou, China 17 Jul

I think my turtles grow well and now they are bigger. I grew more different plants as turtles like this kind of environment. Of course there are spray water and solar fan. When the sun comes, then the fan will be on. It makes...

Ptrikha_2 A great rainbow. I saw one here too but did not capture it as I was driving and the stoppage was at a place where trees were obstructing view. The weather is pleasant and in some ways, this is the best part of Monsoons. Glad to know that you and your family...

LindaOH @LindaOHio (194911) • United States 12 Jul

Wikipedia says that "A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing, fruiting body of a fungus..." A mushroom contains a cap, stem and gills under the cap. Forms deviating from the standard are the puffball, stinkhorn,...

Ptrikha_2 Mushrooms can lower cholesterol is news for me. So many poisonous ones is a news for me too ! I do like them although I do not consume them much. I wonder what is the white colored common mushroom that we buy in the market named as.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358766) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Jul

Ptrikha_2 I think backpackers should be in a group. Or solo travelers should be in touch with either some local or may be have some sort of Police registration in different areas. Thankfully, she survived but who knows what can happen in the wild ! We have such rocky...

Me and the world traveler

I think Kitty is confused by the raccoon wars.

The Horse @TheHorse (228724) • Walnut Creek, California 13 Jul

It is 2 AM. I hear Kitty growling. and also hear someone munching merrily away on something crunchy. Sighing, I turn on the light by bed and try to chase the raccoon out of the sliding glass door that I keep slightly open for...

Ptrikha_2 I think you will have to make special arrangements. External fencing to prevent raccoon coming in. As Kitty, I would be quite bewildered as to what all is happening and feel enslaved.

MeMoneyAndLove @abhi_bangal (7213) • Ahmednagar, India 12 Jul

Not always do you find a huge $3 billion deal getting rejected. However AI startup Windsurf CEO put everything else behind along with this huge deal. Instead of selling his company to OpenAI, he chose to join Google DeepMind. The...

Ptrikha_2 I believe that they would have offered! Mark Zuckerberg even called many of these executives to his home for a dinner. Meta's competitors like Google, OpenAI are fuming at this sort of "poaching". And in some ways, this also means a forthcoming job market...

Greg @xander6464 (45309) • Wapello, Iowa 11 Jul

It is a beautiful Fractious Friday afternoon here in the Neon Fun Jungle, Radio Rangers. Light rain and thunder and lightning. Of course, everyone else is describing with words other than "beautiful." Words that I can't repeat...

Ptrikha_2 Things sound very terrible. And well, coming from the announcements of a Head of State, it is even worse. I suppose perhaps many republican supporters too would be having second thoughts? Detaining someone should be a thoughtful decision. Yet, even under trial...

Does the end justify the means?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (15460) • Philippines 12 Jul

Some 'successful' people don't bother about the process as long as they achieve their goals. For me, I value the process more because it's what makes the end truly satisfying. Enjoying the process and learning from it is already a...

Ptrikha_2 "End Justifies the Means" is valid unless one has done very wrong stuff, highly illegal stuff or even some criminal act. If 'means" imply a tiny detour here or there, being a bit strict or lenient with someone or doing things that make people angry for a few...

A Beautiful Walk

Four Walls @FourWalls (76817) • United States 10 Jul

Oh for small towns and quiet roads

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358766) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Jul

Ptrikha_2 Sheep Yards! To me such a place would be a marvel to go and check out ! It can really be a contrast to be in a very low traffic area initially and then suddenly facing very heavy traffic.

Lack of Sleep Concerns

LindaOH @LindaOHio (194911) • United States 11 Jul

As most of you know, I have a tremendous problem trying to sleep. I get no more than 4 hours of sleep a day; and it's not unusual for me to be up 24-48 hours at a time. I'm always tired; and I know that lack of sleep can cause...

Ptrikha_2 My sleep is mostly good but insufficient on the weekdays. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night but not too frequently. Lack of sleep does causes a lot of problems.

4th of July! Wheee! Just another work day for the Horse.

The Horse @TheHorse (228724) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Jul

Are you doing anything special for the 4th of July? I suppose not if you're from India or the Philippines or something. This year's 4th may be a bit odd for some Americans, as we are dealing with the possibility of being a...

Ptrikha_2 Looks like a nice plan although the kind of traffic I hear about in Bangalore makes me wonder if 9 PM would be early enough for a 10.30 return? Anyways, enjoy the sunshine after long rains. Here, we had a few days of good rains but then most of the days have...

Ptrikha_2 Some mobiles now have a camera setting for Motion pictures but I have not tried them. You can check if your phone has that. Or may be a pro Mode where you know something about adjusting the shutter speed.

We visit a big hill - understatement for 'large monolith'

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358766) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Jul
