Drug farmer built ‘wall-less’ structure on Waikato swamplands to harvest cannabis plot

Then, in February 2022, police discovered about 1000 cannabis plants in six different spots in the lake area,…

Movie idea: Groundhog day, but instead of the person reliving the same day over and over until their chosen love interest falls for them, they live normally but create new clones of their love interest again and again until they find one that falls for them.

A heart that's full up like an otyugh lair
A #quest that slowly kills you
Hitpoints that won't heal
You look fatigued & shaken
Break out this railroad #plot
It don't, it don't speak to us

I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of constitution drain
And no stealth rolls & no surprise checks
No stealth rolls and no surprise checks
No stealth rolls and no surprise checks
Please

Word choice matters when localizing a #teleplay or #screenplay. Localization of such a creative work should preserve and convey the experience and nature of the #story, #plot, and characters.

Yes, I notice when captions are more interpretations than verbatim translations for languages I understand. With captioning on such productions, there are occasions to learn helpful English words I might not otherwise encounter — words like “scree” and “transhumance”.

Well, I confirmed that the bizarro text at the top of the Y axis is not in fact part of the Y axis. If you set the style of the Y axis tick labels to plain, so it doesn't use scientific notation:

>>> plt.ticklabel_format(axis="y", style="plain")

... that one bizarro value is still shown in scientific format.

I don't recall if matplotlib supports multiple scales/sets of ticks on an axis, so I'm not sure where that value is coming from. I looked at the data generated by your code and didn't see anything weird.

I think you need either a matplotlib expert, or a user discussion group. Or at least someone who's used matplotlib more recently than the Clinton administration... 😉

Yesterday did go to the plot where I spent a couple of hours; cold killed all the black turtle beans.

Filled the feeders, am making a mix of bird food bags; watered the strawberry in the hanging basket; did a fire to get rid of wood and while at it, roasted me some raw coffee.

While waiting for the fire to catch, wrote a few notes on the subject of roasting. Coffee.

Bought by mistake a while ago, a small bag of raw coffee, decided to give it a go roasting on an open fire, using a steel pan and wooden spoon. Turned out quite all right, am having now one such coffee, fresh grind, with a cardamom pod ground in for good measure; a spoon of standard honey.

As I had no idea how to proceed, other than having had in time immemorial an actual hand held coffee roaster... granma stuff.... this time got it half wrong, because put in all the beans; quickly they started browning, quicker than expected, so that to give them at least a shade of brown, most beans are well roasted, black, in fact. Scent not as strong as the coffee beans bought in shops, as for caffeine kick.... a double! YAY!!
