I like reverse image search. That way I can figure out what plants I have in my garden. :P

I'm still busy with the Kittens Game. I've got a city going with 180 kittens, 225% happiness, and they've expanded into space. Pollution's at an all-time low.

I'm more and more convinced that we should let cats rule the earth!

Another half an hour of work done in the garden, I think that's the last bit of outdoor activity for me today. It's way too hot. :P

This time I tended to my grapevine. If a leaf even has a tiny bit of mold on it, it's taken off. I'm not overly worried about the vine getting bare, it's amazing how fast this plant will regrow its leaves. I prefer nice big green leaves over drab crumpled grey ones.

I should've done this sooner, but the construction of the shed took all my attention. Ah well. The affected leaves are mostly gone now, it's just a matter of maintaining it from now on which should be easier.

Half an hour of sweeping in the garden and I'm already totally drenched in sweat. :blobsweats:

At least the garden's largely clean now. Will tend to my grapevine soon, there are a lot of leaves with mold that I have to remove before it spreads even more. First, time to cool down a little.

Nifty detail: My old patio table fits exactly in the shed. Kinda a makeshift workbench there. :)

Oh, it's the time of year again that stores are advertising those little pools you can set up in your backyard.

I might actually consider getting one if this summer is going to be hot and dry.

I think I've enjoyed enough outdoors for today. Filled a whole trailer full with large branches and brought it to the 'milieustraat' (a city-funded dump site that recycles, basically). It's a bit too hot to do more work now, we've already been at it for about 2 hours. I'll sweep and clean up my garden tomorrow if it's not too hot.

After two weeks of holiday, time to go back to job. Heh. Prepping backpack and bike now...

Kinda annoyed that the world seed changed when the server software got updated... Now my base is inside of a slime chunk. And I can't seem to put it back on the right seed. -.-

The hard winds blew away 25% of my roof this afternoon. 

Oof

*eyeroll* My dad just did a dad joke to me. :P It's in Dutch though..

Dad: Je kan deze doos met gereedschap naar mijn auto dragen, of 5 planken.
Ik: Ik doe die planken wel.

Onderweg naar zijn auto...
Dad: Ik denk dat ze ongeveer even zwaar zijn.
Ik: Het valt wel mee, ik heb de planken in een goede houdgreep.
Dad: Ja, jij hebt de planken in een goede houtgreep, ik heb dit doos in een goede ijzergreep.

Ik: *groan*

🎨 A painting/Fediverse experimentation:

With percentages of Red, Green and Blue, you can obtain a precise RGB color definition.

So, please vote for one or more color channel and with the mix of all the votes, I'll challenge myself to paint a fantasy landscape, using the result as the dominant color.

(PS: I'm doing full time inking/penciling on episode 37 and a bit of colored art cool-down would be great! Also I need a bit of 'Fedifun' this week. Thanks for your votes and boosts! )

abortion 

Reminder that the so-called "pro-life" movement is not about protecting life. It is about sanctioning government violence to try to force women to give birth against their wishes. People have many different opinions about abortion and that's okay, but unless you truly believe women deserve to be jailed for having an abortion, you shouldn't be supporting the so-called "pro-life" movement and its extremist agenda.

Grabbed Jurassic World Evolution from Humble for $1 and currently installing it. Wonder what it'll be like, it's a little over 7GB big. Current Choice got Planet Zoo, but I think I'd rather have dinosaurs instead.

Pbbbbth... I'm still tasting some paint and terpentine in my mouth. :P Dad done goofed a bit and I got an accidental brief blast from the paint spray gun when he wanted to show me something on that device. Thankfully the paint was already cleansed out by the terpentine but... yeah, tasting it a bit still. :P

Anyway! My fence at the streetside (well, no street there but you get what I mean) is now a nice green color. Took about 2 hours of spraying but it looks pretty good even if I say so myself.

We'll have to do this again in the winter, I think, when the hedge in front of the fence will lose its leaves. I tried to spray paint as low as possible but 20cm below the top of the hedge is as far as I could go. ;)

@rastinza Okay, I've taken a peek at it now.

The two plugins in question are: Obsidian Columns (OC) and Multi-Column Markdown (MCM).

They have both pros and cons.

OC uses code blocks, and you can nest them to have columns inside columns. I'm not too fond of this approach much because if you have a genuine text or codeblock inside a codeblock, the normal text formatting or syntax highlighting is gone in editing. It's just a bit annoying to work with in editor mode. But hey, nested columns! The output is in divs.

MCM uses `=== keyword` type coding, so not codeblocks. It goes like `=== start-multi-column: name` and then right below it a small codeblock for some config settings, and then stuff like `=== end-column ===` and ending with `=== end-multi-column`. Rendering was a slight bit buggy but ultimately came out right. I likey because formatting of your content stays intact, but no column nesting possible inside them. And yes, this ended up as a div as well.

I'm seeing 2 different multi-column Obsidian plugins in the plugins list. They both look interesting. I might fiddle with them later today to get a feel which one of them is the more logical/easiest to use. Would be nice to have multiple columns possible in markdown. I wouldn't always need it but it's nice to have an option there!

Okay, I have to admit that DIY with a high pressure water hose involved is kinda fun. ;)
