I remember we had a small pine tree in the backyard of my childhood home. I would decorate the tree with edible ornaments, which my grandmother helped me make (including suet cakes). And as I showed in a previous post, an old coat tree or other secure structure can work just fine!
Decorate an Outdoor Christmas Tree With #EdibleOrnaments for the Animals
December 29, 2019
Decorating an outdoor Christmas tree with edible ornaments is a wonderful way to bring holiday cheer to your yard while providing a feast for birds, squirrels, and other animals.
It’s eco-friendly, fun, and connects us with nature in a heartwarming way.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a festive outdoor tree that’s both beautiful and beneficial for wildlife.
Some ideas:
- Pinecone feeders
- Popcorn garlands
- Fruit slices
- Suet cakes
- Nut and seed wreaths
[I don't think the peanut butter recipe is doable -- grab a pinecone instead!]

So I used to prefer Windows.
It was the most gamer-friendly OS. DirectX, X-Input, and wide backward compatibility made it the default. That’s why the Windows library got so large.
That era is over. Proton on Linux wiped out almost every advantage Windows had. Almost all games run if you use a gaming-centric distro like SteamOS, Bazzite, or Nobara. The failures are mostly titles with kernel-level anticheat.
The irony is that Linux now runs a range of old Windows games that no longer run on Windows 11. If you want to play something from 2002, Linux is often the safer bet.
Beyond compatibility, Linux gives you clean wins. Better performance. Full gamepad navigation. Fast suspend and resume. Fewer moving parts. Less junk.
If you build your own PC, install Bazzite. You save the Windows license fee and get a better gaming experience outright.

I did have one smaller game that crashed under Proton after the title screen due to missing codecs and libraries. After using ProtonTricks to install the missing 5 dependencies, it works.
None of the company's other games have this issue, and all of the rest of the them have good or even great Proton & Steam Deck support.
@cameron_bosch My usual fix for games that don’t launch is switching to Proton’s experimental branch. And if that doesn’t work, okay, I’ll go look at community conversations and see what will work.
But the thing I always come back to is that there’s a whole lot of Windows games that work with Linux that don’t work on Windows 11. So you win some, you lose some.

Ale yeast in homemade root beer is an exceedingly efficient producer of CO2.
Most of the first bottle opened ended up all over the kitchen. 😬
(luckily, most of these were bottled for short term use in plastic. Will have to open the glass bottle one outside well away from the house.)

A Russian drone hits Turkish cargo vessel VIVA in the Black Sea. This matters for Turkey, maritime security, and Ukraine’s campaign against Russia’s “shadow fleet.” It means increased risk for Black Sea shipping serving Ukraine’s legitimate export needs. youtu.be/YYBB8wSspu0
Pancakes, im kind of in the mood but not sure I have the energy to go through with it, technology is moving at breakneck speed, as an avid linux user I have been using windows recently as I like to stay current on all the weird things going on with software and OS's, now I have very crappy hardware as its all I have and cant afford for what I would like, like wise I have super cheap android phone, all these are commercially useless and dead, as soon as a new chip is developed it is already useless as the next one is already under development, software takes up space that 20-30 years ago would not even be thought of, the resources to simply type out and serve this post are ancient by the standard of what is to come, stable as it is but soon outdated, quantum computing coupled with bioneural circuits driven with advanced Ai are already on the cusp of functionality, by the time the cosmos blinks human technology will be so far advanced humans wont be able to keep up and actually utilize nor understand it, I am an odd person with many interests and have studied a wide array in my life, technology like all science and art moves fast, the composer of function and form are often beyond basic comprehension, even those deep in the trenches of development are often confounded by their achievements, a life of adversity has allowed me to obtain a diverse wisdom base, I can make things work that should never even be able to, much like myself I was written off at birth by the doctors and I defied them over and over, and sadly I continue to suffer, a marvel of biology and a medical mystery, my brain is both dying and thriving, technology dies and thrives with every 0and1 and the rate is mind boggling, if I base my life expectancy off of family history I am condemned to the rock for another 40-50 years, in that time I am nearly certain that at the current rate of development, we will have fully functioning transporter and replicator technology now how advanced and useful remains to be seen, but technology as a whole is moving at lightspeed and when I die I may be blessed to be on an asteroid instead of earth;
