    Stuff in the Sky

    Here's a cellphone (Samsung S22 Ultra) shot of last night's Supermoon, with help from "Deep learning" AI (more here: Samsung AI and the moon), and onboard photo tools -- the original image was cropped, with light balance, brightness, contrast, highlights, shadows, and exposure manipulation done...

    NFR Got any Herp pictures?

    Super Mega LIKE! Wow, Steve, that was a truly absorbing read, and with superb accompanying photos. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, I spent several years working on herptile taxonomy, and still have more than a passing interest. In those years we did collecting trips in much of Southeast...

    Ah, Steve, make a great looking one piece bamboo rod, add a classic Hardy reel, proceed to catch lots of fish adding karma to combo, what could be better?! Congrats, Kenneth

    What Are You Eating?

    Exactly right, which is why I'll continue to eat spaghetti/linguine/bucatini/fettucine or any other "long" pasta with chopsticks, come hell or high water. Heck, I even eat risotto with chopsticks. Great thing is, my 12-year old daughter sees the wisdom of eating long pasta with chopsticks, and...

    NFR Got any Herp pictures?

    I go to Malaysia practically every year, and as you can imagine, I was bound to see a few herps visiting one of the world's megadiverse countries with more than 550 species of reptiles and 240 species of amphibians. Here are a few highlights: Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). Floating...

    What Are You Eating?

    That looks really good. Just an observation, not meant to be criticism in any way, here in Italy (some) eyebrows would be raised if you added parmigiano/grana padano/pecorino or any other grated aged cheese to pasta containing any type of seafood -- in the more traditional seafood restaurants...

    Big Island & Oahu 2024…and Teti’aroa

    Have fun with the tilapia removal, then perhaps a neat segue into the "What are you eating thread?" Kenneth

    Server / forum slowdown issues

    Forum users. Here in Italy the Google and Cloudflare DNS servers just work better than the local ones, so I use them as default. Not just the fact that they're faster at resolving (I know, I know, the difference is in milliseconds, but add up all those milliseconds...), but they don't have...

    Server / forum slowdown issues

    I wonder if it's somehow traffic related, as in there's a bottleneck somewhere. I have had no problems yet, not even slowdowns, but I'm on this site most often when most of you guys are fast asleep, so maybe I've got the whole bandwidth all to my lonesome. Another thing: have any of you tried...

    Since the last time I reported, still no problems over here in Europe, site is as quick as ever. Here, I'll post a pic of my good friend doing his thing, maybe that'll make your troubles magically disappear. 🤡, Comrade Kenneth

    Some canyon time, not that one, but a different one.

    Chasing Permit in the Land of Frankincense (Oman - April 2024)

    The way this is going, Chuck Norris will probably end up asking DimeBrite for travel-with-fishing tips. Thanks for another epic adventure, Kenneth

    A wet, windy week at Patagonian BaseCamp, Chile in mid-March

    E.P.I.C. I'm going to bed now, knowing I'll wake up tomorrow with an adventure to follow. Can't wait! Thanks much for sharing, Kenneth
