Yep, I've even seen cannas produce seed pods and seeds this year.
Mature, retired neighbour who religiously lifts the rhizomes each Autumn, stores them in a heated greenhouse and replants them each Spring, has never previously seen seed pods.

Truing rotors

Flat leaf parsley.

The "bushcraft" circlejerk.

I watched some videos about tarps and also bought a sleeping bag that apparently is very popular with the military obsessed, spiky hair, goatee, 00s sports sunglasses types. Now all my feed is full of videos of Americans chopping wood and saying things like "it's now about eighteen hundred hours so I need to get my shelter ready"

Haha
I always wonder how far they are from the parking lot.

Less than two clicks

I'm guessing more like whatever is beyond their cellphone’s field of view : )

Garmin again. Edge 800 and the variable success with getting it to mount on a Mac's desktop. I can charge it, but can't copy files to it. bLeArGh.

Are you using the Garmin cable? I find mine infuriating and the connection is even worse using a generic cable - which makes no sense to me.

Edge 800

Mini USB innit? You will need a data cable and not just a generic Mini USB cable. I had the same frustration with an old Edge 50 (i think).

3rded. Wrong cable.

USB cables come in two flavours - power only, or power & data.

You need a data cable in order to mount anything over USB.

I forgot this recently, and ended up stripping wires & soldering stuff before I remembered.

You will need a data cable and not just a generic Mini USB cable.

Surely a generic cable is a data cable. A power-only cable is quite a specialist item.

I don't know about newer types, but there is definitely a difference for mini USB. Three people on this page alone (four if it is the same issue for the OP) have said they have first hand experience of the issue.

Some devices (that only need charging and not data) seem to come with them and then they end up in your pile of cables. I've definitely had a few and tend to bin them as soon as I discover so I don't keep having the problem.

Or they may just be shit cables.

Quick google, of the four available wires, two are data, two are power. Must be cheaper just to leave out half the connections when producing at scale and plenty of things only need power. But things that need data transfer are highly likely to also need power.

Hmm, now I'm starting to wonder about past USB sync issues!

Years back I bought a set of power-only cables so I could charge devices at work without tripping alerts about connecting unauthorised devices. But they were really clearly marked to avoid confusion, with bright red plugs as well as flags hanging off them.

I assumed that they'd always be clearly marked as such but now I remember an innocuous Lezyne branded cable that came with a bike light, didn't do data but had no warnings...

Yeah, data capable cables should have the trident symbol on them, but many mass produced ones just throw that on there anyway to save different tooling in the molds.

Indeed but they’d certainly want to use military terminology

Thanks for the cable suggestions. I was pretty sure I’d had it working with this one, but now I’m not so sure, so will get an actual data cable to check.
Also: bLeArGh.

Add to that the USB-mini crossover data cable that I have, which enables my garmin to stay on while charging.

New '5 pin' cable worked - thanks y'all!
