Is it too late to trim back crepe myrtles if they've already started blooming?

Is it too late to trim back crepe myrtles if they've already started blooming? Google informs me that they should be trimmed back BEFORE they start growing for the year. Better luck in 2024...

You all ever hear of using real butter for a cream/sugar substitute in coffee? My brother-in-law and sister do now and say they love it.

It was part of a big Ketogenic fad maybe 5-10 years ago? Too greasy for my taste. But hey, Starbucks will sell you a coffee with olive oil in it now...

Question of the day is: When's the last time you went to the movies ZAQB?
Far too long here. Like pre-Covid-19. I honestly can't even recall what my last theater movie view was.
Anyway, I'm thinking of making it a habit again. It appears that showings before about 3pm are 30% off. Looks like it even applies to movie premiers showing early on Thursdays.
I don't care if I'm the only MF'er in the house. In fact, it might be preferable.

Juniper and I saw the original King Kong at the AFI Silver in Silver Spring on Saturday. We also saw Shadow of a Doubt at the Senator in Baltimore a couple Wednesdays ago, and attended B-Fest at Northwestern University back in February. Basically, we're fully back to our old pre-pandemic moviegoing habits, and have been for more than a year. I think it brought out a hitherto unnoticed streak of fatalism in both of us when we got COVID for Christmas of 2021 despite being vaxxed as fuck.

That must have been grand seeing "King Kong" on the big screen! I've been intrigued by some of the special one-nite-only movie events the local AMC theater has hosted. They're doing "Spirited Away" soon. That would be lovely to see in the theater, I'd think.

So, sometimes I will save a webp image from wherever online. Oftentimes, I won't be able to later post said image to a message board because they don't recognize the webp (I think it shows up as HTML?). So, I typically just open the image in Paint and save it as a more universally-friendly file like a png or jpeg. Okay, if you're still with me, I usually get a message before I save the file in a new format saying that "transparency will be lost". What does that mean? The images look identical to my eyes when I do that.

OK. So .webp format has an extra set of data associated with it (alpha channel) that *could* be used to make parts of the image transparent (or the whole thing less opaque). You convert it, and that data is lost. Now, in theory, .png also has alpha channel data, but I'm betting the conversion function in Paint won't bring it over. But were you really looking for semi-transparent butt photos, anyway?

I'm guessing it's in regard to superimposition. Which could be useful for ideas I have that simply can't be achieved with, if you will, analog collage.
Assuming I just got any of that right.

Max and I went to see GODZILLA during a PMTO training week. He left that job maybe 2 or 3 years ago now?

I caught "Sisu" (2022) last week. There were maybe ten other people in the theater for this advance showing. This Thursday I might go see the advance showing for "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" for cheap.
Granted, I could probably find some shit cam rip online and just watch at home, but it was nice seeing something on the big screen again. Even at 60inch, my home set-up pales in comparison to getting the full surround sound effects and a theater screen.
