The name is awful. I'd rather see the posts here if that's the name of the community

You should switch to Firefox with ublock origin.

Brave is a mess of a browser and a dumpster fire of an organization, even compared to Mozilla.

You can look up your games on ProtonDB and see which will and won't work. Pirated games are no different from retail compatibility-wise but there might be one or two extra steps

Wayland is a mess for me with Plasma 6 (Fedora) but i'm not going back to X11. Quite a few features i use(d) have been broken along the way.

On the upside high DPI support is getting better and better

I have hundreds of hours in Dwarf Fortress and i feel i've barely scratched the surface

In a sense i agree, but the crash was in Summer in North Dakota and they are European honeybees.

Honeybees are quite invasive in North America. They kill and displace native pollinators and they are generally less effective pollinators of native plants. The release of dozens more colonies into the ecosystem is a negative thing no matter how you look at it.

North America has the greatest native bee diversity of any temperate part of the world, but if you go out into habitat and actually start counting insects you will find honeybees outnumber everything else in most places, most times of year.

Brave shouldn't be on there at all. Nobody should be recommending Brave to anyone

Taking photos chews through battery for me, maybe because of the GPS tagging.

I want the GPS tags and most of my photos are in remote areas with no signal so i carry a backup battery

The Silmairillion is my favorite Tolkein. I've got zero interest in an adaptation

I need to get an RF switch! The TV on the left is RF only, but i have it hooked up to the NES right now. Maybe someday i'll find the time to figure out an RGB mod

I also need to make shelf space for the 2600. My nostalgia era is 4th-6th generation, so the 2600 is a lower priority to me. Aesthetically it's near the top!

I'm having fun with Gumshoe too!

I'm enjoying the fan translation of Mother 1 /Earthbound Zero. A bit grindy compared to modern RPGs, but that's what I expected going in

Just got all my consoles hooked up. I've been playing Castlevania:SOTN on Sega Saturn (English translation) and loving it. What are you playing?

This is a list of reputable brands, seed dealers, and nurseries for acquiring native plants, both online and offline. If you'd like to add one to the list, just post it below, and I'd appreciate a little blurb about your experience with them or why you find them reputable.

The list is currently pretty sparse, but with everybody's help, we can make a great list!

Linda Vista Native Plants (Saratoga)

Larry has a wider selection than most Native Nurseries I've been to. He seems keenly interested in manzanitas, ceanothus, dudleya, and bulbing plants like calochortus. His stock is a mixture of Bay Area, Central Coast, Channel Island, and San Diego species with a smaller selection of Sierra Nevada, North Coast, and SoCal species. The nursery is pickup-only by appointment. My impression is that Larry would rather lose a sale than sell an unhealthy plant, so be prepared that part of your order might not be there if he doesnt like the look of it. I highly reccomend this nursery if you are in the Bay Area

Linda Vista Native Nursery

California Flora Nursery (Just outside Santa Rosa)

One of the great institutional nurseries of California native gardening. Their overall stock is unmatched, but only a small fraction is available for purchase at any given time. This is the only nursery that commonly carries clones of the Vine Hill Manzanita other than the common hybrid cultivars (such as Howard McMinn, Sentinel, Harmony). The non-hybrid species is usually (but not always) low-growing, with smaller darker leaves and more delicate flowers, absolutely stunning IMO. The pure species selections will be named stuff like "VHP - A11 'low growing'" or "VHP - B3 'tall one'" since they are from stock also used for ex-situ conservation plantings

This nursery is also responsible for the introduction of many popular cultivars, especially Ceanothus. Some of my favorites are Ceanothus "Better than Ray Hartman" and Arctostaphylos "Reina de la arena". Their selection is wide, but especially covers the North Bay Area, Northern Coast, and Inner Coast Ranges. Good variety of oaks, pines, cypresses, grasses, and even annuals. In my opinion, it's worth the trip from anywhere in California.

Dodders are parasitic plants. The specimen seen here is using Pickleweed as a host plant.
