The Quiver Tree Forest of South Africa. What an exceptional place: otherworldly, strange, slightly eerie, but utterly fascinating. It's somewhere I'll continue to return to again and again; there's nothing quite like the solitude and quietness of the Karoo desert.

Und die "Analogie" mit dem Berg ginge so : Man weiß, das Bestätigen des Berges ist anstrengend, entscheidet sich aber das das zu tun, weil es ein super super Gefühl ist am Gipfel zu stehen und es einem SELBER Zufriedenheit gibt. Allerdings beschwert man sich während der ganzen Tour andauernd bei denen, die im Pool im Tal baden, das alles Scheiße ist und kein Lift da ist.

Ireland has €97m worth of shares in companies linked to 'occupation and genocide' in Palestine [including #Caterpillar from which Norway has just divested]

!["AT THE END of June, the United Nations released a new report which denounced 48 companies it claimed had profited from “the Israeli economy of illegal occupation, apartheid, and [...] genocide” in Palestine.
The report by the UN’s Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, claimed that “far too many” companies had profited from the decades-long conflict.
Albanese called for these companies to end their complicity in “human rights violations and international crimes” or “be held to account”.
Earlier this week, Norway’s wealth fund made headlines when it divested from Caterpillar – one of the companies on the list – over the use of its machinery by Israel to demolish Palestinian properties in the West Bank and Gaza.
But the country is not the only one whose sovereign wealth fund invests in companies that are named on the UN list.
Ireland’s fund, the Irish Strategic Investment Fund, maintains direct investments in exactly a quarter of the 48 companies, which are valued at almost €97 million.

This morning's email from my favorite local garden and landscape company got me good. 😅 Among other things, picked up a $5 coreopsis in rough (but revivable) shape that came with a purslane ridealong and an enormous $5 begonia hanging basket that I can probably overwinter.
Oh… and two Starship cardinal flowers, because I cannot dang well help myself. 😬 Plus an enormous swamp milkweed because it was $12.50 and if nothing else it will be worth it for all the seedpods. :3

#GNOME 48 with #Debian13 #Trixie and #Wayland: Has anybody an idea how to enable horizontal window scrolling via Shift + Touchpad-Scroll (up/down)?
With xfce/XOrg, this was out of the box enabled.
Edit: with my desktop/USB trackball/mouse, it's working as expected. Just not with the touchpad. So I'd like to swipe with two fingers up/down while Shift key is pressed to scroll horizontally.

From Wikipedia:
Herman Melville has an early reference to the crackers in Book XXII, Chapter I, of his 1852 novel Pierre; or The Ambiguities:
For all the long wards, corridors, and multitudinous chambers of the Apostles' were scattered with the stems of apples, the stones of prunes, and the shells of peanuts. They went about huskily muttering the Kantian Categories through teeth and lips dry and dusty as any miller's, with crumbs of Graham crackers.
