Reverse Google-Image search, then applied translations. I don’t remember specific sites, but it was a couple in Arabic that turned up those titles.

Good questions!
There may be some clues in that interview, but Bahumayd otherwise seems to be a bloke of few words.

Can’t find either the title or the year of painting.

Seems to be titled either “The Birth of a Hero” or “Meat Grinder,” with a date of about 2022-2023.

Ah yes, the freezing. My ancestors would be disappointed in me for leaving that out(!)

Not sure about the protein content of potatoes vs. grains, but IIRC, the vitamin & mineral content is generally superior. Potatoes are a complete superfood one can live on for long periods, again if I’m remembering correctly.

I suppose if I ever go back, I might try chicha again. Was really unimpressed the last couple times I tried it, heh.

This is how the Incas and other Andes peoples would store their crops-- they’d mash it down in two stages by dint of their feet, and then the potatoes would store indefinitely.

Even better than bread and beer storage of grains, and potatoes are more nutritious than either, to boot.

Something I wasn’t expecting when I moved to this Midwest city was the thriving skunk population. I only run in to them once in a while in person, but the warm weather nights are often filled with their scent.

While I’m quite sure I’d be absolutely miserable if sprayed in person, I’ve oddly come to enjoy their far-milder scent wafting in the air. There’s something unique and almost compelling about it, a bit like my occasional enjoyment sniffing gasoline at the pumps. Inexplicable, and yet there it is.

Okay, a quick search is suggesting that Midwest and East Coast USA is most vulnerable. If you haven’t heard of these things before and you’re not in that area then I reckon you’re all good.

The dangers of those suckers is that they have the potential to get in to the main root, killing that local tissue, which in turn brings down the whole plant. (unless maybe emergency-grafted I guess?)

FWIW, I batch-upload multiple images on a regular basis, much of them also relating to comics. I do that via Imgur (but PixelFed in the Fediverse would be a closer match), then link them in posts here.

Example:
https://piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels/p/2128207/the-best-of-jucika-fan-art-12-pieces-with-two-videos

I mean… it also sounds like someone browsing ALL or similar, without having taken the time to curate their personal feed. I don’t see that as a Fediverse-issue really, but a characteristic of most social media platforms, including Reddit.

Do zero work to set your account up (or don’t even have one), and you’ll pretty much get the shittiest browsing experience out of all possibilities.

Are you going to take any protections against squash borers? IIRC, wrapping duct tape around the stems can help with that.

I’m really liking the 2001 aesthetic in that lead shot.

I’m fortunate to say that I’ve been to produce markets in various cities across three continents, and have never met one I didn’t like. There always seems to be something low-key cheerful and even uplifting in the air.

Almost like the gleeful excitement of being in a candy store, except for adults. 🙂

For me, using my PayPal acct, I was able to donate via Ko-fi without needing to create an acct or do anything remotely bureaucratic. Easy-peasy.

…percées en leur centre puis gravées artisanalement (avec des dispositifs artisanaux inspirés des tours à disques.)

That is… incredible. But evidently, they used repurposed record players I think for the engravings? And according to WP, the discs only lasted ~5 to ~10 plays(!)

Dayum.

Thanks for helping me to be one of today’s 10k!

Haha, welcome! Also TBF, I don’t believe he’s done many Euro comics, and instead works in more of the American market.

it’s apparently been a known DV isue for quite some time.

Are you referring to Deviant-Art with “DV”? I remember for some years the pages would load really slowly, but I think they beefed up their servers since then. Or something.

No offense intended, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to subscribe without seeing the C’s posts in my feed. I recall being subscribed before, but getting overwhelmed by all the regular posts in my stream.

Maybe if I block key words or something, but then that might interfere when I deliberately visit the community to look for fun content.

That seems like a long ways up to ride on a roller-coaster, but okay.

IIRC several presidents and prominent politicians became sickened and/or died by drinking local water. There’s a modern theory that Harrison was one of them, I recall.

He can also be quite focused and playful!
