Oh boy I don't think this would fly on this side of the pond.
Tin hat People have been saying the whole AI was political to control the food supply. When I pointed out that it had been in UK before here then it's Bill Gates and a new world order. ... Like covid...

Well, we've got a tin hat contingent over here. It's getting more and more difficult to separate the nut jobs from those with a genuine and rational position regarding the protection of civil rights from the rest. Registration was the norm in Catalonia and I believe it's the case in other parts of Europe. Many won't register of course, but falling foul of DEFRA isn't something to be taken lightly.

That is way too much overregulation.

I don't understand what has happened to our weather.

It's climate change Ladies-Eight.

Do you have to carry ID cards in the States? Just asking, because we don't.

Yes and no. It's not required, but if you get caught without it, you may not have a good time.

 

[tranquiliti]

Yes and no. It's not required, but if you get caught without it, you may not have a good time.

Under certain conditions: e.g. operating a motor vehicle or attempting to purchase restricted items, such as alcoholic beverages

 

[Perris]

well, we still don't have ID cards, so I don't think it can be said we're over-regulated.

Yeah, not sure that I would be eager to register my chickens, but I live in the US and definitely do NOT trust my government.

some tax for law and ID talk: Quenell working a rotting log this morning

There were no visible insect prey there, and I suspect she might have been hunting funga not fauna. I learnt recently that there are estimated to be between 2.2 and 3.8 million species of fungi in the world - that's about 6-10 times the estimated number of plant species - and over 90% of them have yet to be described (Sheldrake, Entangled Life, illustrated edition 2023:29).

So far in our garden I've identified the blusher, some boletes, chicken of the woods, some club fungi, cobalt crust, earthballs, fairy ring champignon, inkcaps, jelly ears, King Alfred's cakes, mycenas, a saddle fungus, and turkey tail. There are dozens of others I've not been able to identify, even loosely. I think this one is the weirdest and loveliest, so far

One minute it's a translucent, delicate cup, a few hours later it's dissolved into ink!
