Is that why they're $7 a bag at the grocery store now?

Adding GIS data to oblique drone imagery in c/drones

Just flat, clamped to ground polygons. An example would be to superimpose property lines onto an oblique drone image (only I'm doing it for pipeline rows).

What book that hasn't been adapted into a TV show or movie do you think deserves an adaptation? in c/asklemmy

V. E. Schwab - the Invisible Life of Adie LaRue would be amazing. Classic cursed immortal living through the ages, but without vampires!

I worked at a pizza delivery shop at the time and just used empty pizza boxes

Also works for inside locations if you are carrying a large bag of food or several pizza boxes. I've snuck into some concerts with the pizza box method.

Used to not even be able to handle a taco, this year I've been on a spicy kick. Franks red hot wasn't doing it for me anymore so I upgraded to scorpion sauce, and it packs quite a kick! in c/hotsauce

I recommend Cholula and Herdez Chipotle salsa cremosa.

Homeowners are increasingly re-wilding their homes with native plants, experts say in c/sustainability

I absolutely am. I'm also planting strategic deciduous trees to shade the house, porch, and driveway during the summer.

boygenius - Cool About It (www.youtube.com)

This is one of my favorite new songs in the last year. The thoughtful lyrics are about mental health and understanding others at a time where I feel like it's extremely relevant and the smooth harmonies and guitar picking mellow me out and get me emotional at the same time. I hope everyone else enjoys as much as I do.

Online College Credits for Professional Licensure (self.asklemmy)

submitted 10 months ago by Terrapinjoe to c/asklemmy

I want to get a professional wetland scientist license for work I've been doing for 15 years professionally, but the license requires college credits in biology that I don't have. The application board will not consider current experience level in the subject and will not accept any training or education taken post-college that didn't award college credits.

Do you have any recommendations for self-paced online classes that offer college credit? I will be working full time and taking care of children during this time, so the classes have to be flexible.

American Flamingo in Pensacola Florida (lemmy.world)

I photographed and had my best views ever of an American Flamingo this morning in Pensacola (actually Warrington) Florida at Navy Point Park. Based on eBird records, it looks like it showed up yesterday. Wild flamingo summer in the eastern US appears to be wrapping up, but these birds are still showing up in unexpected places after being displaced by Hurricane Idalia in September.

Great Kiskadee in Louisiana - Range Expansion Question (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by Terrapinjoe to c/birding

I saw a pair of Great Kiskadee in south-central Louisiana today at White Lake Wetland Conservation Area. This pair has been here for at least a few years and it looks like they were gathering nest material this morning. This species is considered rare in Louisiana but with increasing sightings in the last few years. Is this species expanding its range like other southern birds such as the Limpkin and Black-bellied Whistling Duck?
