carnivorous pitcher plant
Jul. 23rd, 2025 12:00 pmpauraque posting in common_natureWhile hiking in a conserved wetland, I saw an informational sign about native pitcher plants. I had no idea we had these in New England; I always thought of carnivorous plants as a tropical thing. But I took a look around and they were certainly there!
This appears to be Sarracenia purpurea which has a lot of names in English, including Common Pitcher Plant. The specialized leaves form cup-shaped traps with nectar at the bottom that attracts bugs, which can't escape and are digested to provide nutrition for the plant. In this species the traps sit on the ground, and I don't know if I would have noticed them if I hadn't been looking.

kites in the sky
Jul. 22nd, 2025 08:22 pmturlough posting in common_natureThe only birds of prey I see here in my tiny town in south-eastern Sweden are Red Kites (Milvus milvus). They're usually soaring far too high up and away over the forest to get acceptable photos of. This morning however a pair was kind enough to come down low enough I could take ( these... )

Hood River
Jul. 18th, 2025 08:06 pmyourlibrarian posting in common_nature
Our destination for day 2 was Hood River. We loved this spot, both because of the view and the convenience of its location, parking and our rooms over the breakfast area.
This photo was the view from one of our rooms. It was not only a pretty view but one that changed all day long, as people at the inlet end point took kayaking, paddleboard and canoeing classes. I'd never seen a motorized paddleboard before but they were in use too, along with jet skis out on the river and parasailers.
We also got to watch birds diving for food, and trains and cargo barges go by on the river. We even saw a cruise ship once!

Digimon World 3
Jul. 16th, 2025 09:02 pmfennectik posting in gamingOne regret I have about this game is that I sold it some years ago and realized what a huge mistake that was. The game is charming and it felt pretty nostalgic playing it on my PS1 long ago.
Not sure what compelled me to sell it. When I browse at how much it costs the lowest is almost 100 dollars nowadays.
If anything, I might buy it yet again to add it back to my collection. For now I will just dwell on memories of fascination and regret.

Finished Dr. Stone: Science Future
Jul. 15th, 2025 06:33 pmfennectik posting in anime_mangaSo I caught up with Dr. Stone and made it through the first part of the Science Future ark and it was as expected, fully enjoyable and immersible. I don't think I could ever get bored of this series. Too bad the second part is yet to be available but I am willing to be patient till it is.
And Kohaku is still my favorite.

Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner for playing Switch 1 games on his console
Jul. 12th, 2025 03:16 pmfennectik posting in gamingMan, gaming seems harsher as time goes on. Doesn't help when companies like Nintendo are pretty harsh themselves when it comes to their own games. Seemingly this guy bought Switch 1 games on a Facebook marketplace and tried them on his Switch 2 console, updating them from their site to have them running. Sometime later bans him for trying out said games and when calling Nintendo he got notice that said games were pirated allegedly, to which the person in question went on providing evidence tha he got them legitimately.
Well the thing was that if the Switch reads a game you own twice, it might be seen as a pirated one, which still sounds ludicrous. I know Nintendo can be so paranoid and defensive about their games in business but damn.
