What fun! Maybe you'll soon have fresh, home-grown scallions! Better show it to an expert. Make sure it's not something lethal to humans or post-humans. -

I liberated one discarded flower from the plant that I've had my eye on in this community garden. As far as I can tell the plant is a green onion plant that produces large leaves, which might be good for eating, as with green onion. The flower has seeds, and now I'm trying to germinate them. Cutting the stem/stalk of the flower reveals a smell that's definitely oniony but not-great. #gardening #nature -

@davehunt
Aw, no, we didn't record this first meeting. Maybe we can meet again soon, though, and record that. :D -

Indeed! I'm interested in using some resources that I've found for "geographic data science" as a means of getting into spacial econometrics and data science in general. :) My brother's active disinclination to study GIS outside of college courses frustrates these hopes for me, but maybe I need to just lead by example.

@bthall because race bias usually is closely tied to income, and this is tied to where you live.
As an example: an African-American kid growing up in a white, wealthy neighborhood is more likely to be similar to his neighbors than to other African-Americans living in a poor hood

@alan
Oh! Yes, indeed! I'm curious to explore problems like this with spatial econometrics. :) -

Meeting Walt (@lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net) yesterday was really cool. When I showed up both of us happened to be wearing our headphones around our necks. :] We ate, chatted, and laughed quite a bit. And it's uncertain whether he'll be here for a while longer, so we might be able to meet again... If I haven't scared him off.
I'm bummed that my Dad wasn't able to join us, but I imagine that they'll eventually meet and get along well. -

@alan
Huh? I don't understand how you think that the latter could follow from the former and if it'd be a good thing.
