You must be confused, or perhaps you’re not talking about the same species that I am thinking about. Huckleberries, genus Gaylussacia, are definitely in the same family as blueberries, Vaccinium. They’re both Ericaceae, in the subfamily Vaccinioideae. Gaylussacia is definitely not in Solanaceae.

Two species of blueberry as well as cranberry grow natively in a few bog habitats near my home, and huckleberries are also sympatric with these species.

ETA: I saw some context from other comments in this chain that somebody else already beat me to this. I, too, didn’t realize that there were, if you were, “false” huckleberries in the nightshade family.

To add to both of our shared confusion, there is even a false huckleberry from within the blueberry family, but instead the Ericoideae subfamily: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/553849-Rhododendron-menziesii. I have no experience with this plant, or even really this subfamily, as it isn’t exactly endemic to my neck of the woods.

FLAC isn’t too bad on disc space.

When I took Vyvanse I couldn’t eat grapefruit. It made me throw up and then I developed an aversion to it, and even now almost a decade since I stopped taking it I still really dislike grapefruit. I’m not sure if it’s because of the citric acid content or what else, but oranges didn’t ever bother me in that way.

Looks like it’s a species of meadowhawk, this one is called either a red-veined darter or a nomad (Sympetrum fonscolombii). Great pic! Dragonflies are a lot of fun and a great challenge to photograph.

I’ve always joked with my coworkers that I’m so efficient because I’m lazy as hell. Why cut one piece of trim at a time when you can build a jig that allows you to cut 5 at once?

The upside: I look like a wizard with all the work I can get done and nobody wants to do my job, so I have plenty of security.

The downside: I get a lot of extra work and I can feel burnt out sometimes.
