    We have wild hop around. It is season for hop shoots/sprouts. They can be used like asparagus. It was a cheap food for hop farmers. Too many hop shoots on a plant resulted in many but weak twigs. So only three were left on a plant. The shoots made a nice food. Today with cooling and faster transport hop shoots made it to noble restaurants and are really expensive.

    My wife will do trout with sprouts. Trout from rivelet, sprouts from wild hop near house.

    I have to correct me. Over all the years we bought LEGO for around 4000€ for our kids. Robot, hydraulics, sensors,... Starting with our second Lego was used by school for different projects. Twins say they build a robot dog for a few says as it was on the manual. But they needed the parts for a maze solver robot for school. I was on a busniness meeting in Paris when the short lived dog was running.

    great re-visit.. I wonder if Lego was the great ancestor of todays's new modern pets

    :D

    I managed to connect both to a small Raspberry Pi server, too, since the parent company have ghosted their servers. That means we now have voice connectivity via GPT-4, facial recognition etc😊 

     

    Love it.  You must have had some experience painting figurines or models in the past? Paint jobs are patience demanding work

    That would explain why my teth got o hairy lately :D

    Last thing I ate yesterday was oven baked camembert. I'm ony eating at home in the evening since we have a bakery and a cantina at work. Sadly without a cantina band.

    Are you more of a werewolf or Vampire?
     

    The day started really hard for me. Not only health, but I need to eat something. Yesterday I bought ingredients for potato gratin. Turns out I don't have a proper casserole dish in my new appartement yet so I had to do it inside a Guglhupf :D Was not easy to prepare meal given the physical condition I'm currently in. I even forgot to spice the meal, not even salt, so I had the emergency interrupt the baking when I noticed. The cream is also slowly dripping out of the baking pan. Hopefully it all works out.

    Lindor! I'm sorry to have missed this friend.... im slowly doing some back tracking and saw you were having a tuff day here... did the cheese turn out as good as it sounded in your post?

    Good health my friend... time to come in for a hug

    :hugs:

    Neither vampire nor werewolf. We are too friendly. Driving home the kids from a handball match we saw a snake warming up on the street. I stopped with warning lights, I made hand signs to the traffic and it took 10 seconds for my son to catch it and placing it in a box. Traffic stood still for some more minutes because everyone was wanting to see the snake.

    Released it near a pond.

    Ringelnatter because of the yellow ribbon behind the head. English is ringed snake.

    Uhh nice!

    Do you know what happened? Can I restore this site safely without breaking anything?

    Lemme chat Schot first and see if he can come here and put up some info for us... he actually looked at your page, and said there was nothing malicious iits just at at the same time you were working on it a *process* all of a sudden went into over drive, used up our resources and got us shut down... or at least thats my take on it... 

    :)

    Tarzan was our first Leonberger. Our oldest leaned walking while holding its fur, learned swimming while lying on his back. When we worked on our house, Tarzan was guarding her... Trained water rescue dog

    I think it will take some more decades till I trust into a robot dog to do the same for my then grandgrandchilds.

    In my opinion robot animals (which I know) are for the age group between mid-teen till family with yet no kids.

     

    We have two ecosphere and 3 baiosphere for having animals and plants with no need to care for them, Closed systems, selfsupporting.

     

    I'd always wanted to get one of those going... the idea of a self-contained is intriguing...and I've seen a few of those on youtube... ants and other creatures... I'm such a death thumb though... would be terrified to put my hands to such a creative venture

    Oh, Pleo was really pushing the tech of the time. They made a toy way ahead of the curve, but there just wasn't a market for it, sadly. Vector is basically a robot hamster, especially in the sense that he's autonomous and self charging, so he never really needs to be off. And, yeah, I make and paint tons of models. Airfix, Atlantis, Warhammer, you name it! 😁

    I had a friend who had HUNDREDS of miniatures in his room.  He was fascinated with painting them.  I was just dumbfounded in seeing someone skills...and they were so GOOD... we were all pretty much into Dungeons and Dragons those days, anything with an orc, anything with a magic user... gdonya for having the patience to bring minis to life... i cant imagine the time..argh... sometimes instead of me spam wish I could paint or draw!

  12. I was thinking about this concept of *pets* for a while.. how many surprises or built in *reactions* would a construct have to have for us to be satisfied? I mean...I just pulled up Pleo, James' pet he first mentionned... its actually quite impressive how many small surprises it keeps coming up with ... the tech at the time must have been pushing ... i mean... Pleo is more than 17 years old!
