A child isn't going to find that. A rescuer who isn't familiar with Teslas isn't going to be able to find that.
I couldn't even figure out how to open a fully functional door from outside the first time I got in a Tesla. I'm an adult who's been driving my entire life.
That's not innovation; it's a safety hazard for the sake of the aesthetics of a handle that doesn't stick out. I don't view that as a reasonable trade-off.
I'm not reading the manual of the Uber I'm about to climb into. A firefighter isn't going to read the manual of a car they're trying to pry me out of.
I DO read the manual on the Kia I actually drive. To read about the recommendations for the tires. To read about replacing fuses. To find the load hauling capacity. Not how to open the fucking door.
safety shouldn't influence artistic choice
Did you really just string those words together in all seriousness without a hint of irony? And that folks is exactly why we need the NHTSA.
Jesus Christ. We use a related drug, dexmetomidine (Precedex), to keep people sedated when they're on a mechanical ventilator in the ICU. We use a Precedex infusions to detox people who are in life-threatening alcohol withdrawal among other things. If we start seeing people roll in with a street tolerance to Precedex, we're gonna have to make some serious adjustments.
Anon, you are simply incredible!!! Thank you! I'll pass all this info on to my sister and tell her to try to get more pics. (And I'll be down there for a few days soon, so maybe I can do some owl stalking)
She said she's been hearing it around for a few weeks, so maybe it moved in close. I asked her to download the Merlin app and try to get a recording of its calls for me.
Definitely not too often, and it's always voluntary. It's actually illegal to force nurses to stay over their shift in Massachusetts unless there's a major emergency. (Thank god)
Yesterday was a weird situation where at the end of my shift, there was a peritoneal dialysis patient that needed an out of the ordinary treatment. And on the team of dialysis nurses I work per diem with, I'm the one with the most experience with peritoneal dialysis. It would have been way more difficult for one of the evening nurses to do it, so I agreed to stay (and they gave me a bonus to stay, so even better!)
It's funny, I've thought the same thing about blue jays, but I went on a hike with a friend this afternoon, and damn if you really couldn't see the things in the dappled shade of trees. I'm honestly only used to seeing them out in full sunlight.
(We had one following us. Clearly used to being fed by humans.)

Heck yeah, Flammy Friday 💪 I'm interested to learn that our little buddy was so chill about his home being invaded for research and photography.
Tl;dr for those who didn't read the article - the chainsawed out parts of the tree could be placed back over the nest like a lid when visiting time was done, and filming/botherance was kept to 20 mins max each night.
Honestly quite respectful for someone who reads as being so burned out as this guy. He seems quite cynical (even calling out his wife's choice of inferior camera lens for a picture she seemed excited about? My dude.)
The debate on wild pics vs. staged pics (personally I wouldn't use the term "fake" because it's not like they're using animatronic birds) reminds me a lot of the debate about using "false color" photos in astronomy.
Almost none of the astronomical structures you see published from the fancy telescopes would look anything like that if you were in a spaceship up close. Because decisions have to be made about things like how to present wavelengths of light that can't be seen by humans, but are present in the telescope data. So there a certain amount of actual artistry that goes into producing the final published photos.
I'm happy for the artifice as long as it's done with careful consideration specifically to achieve science communication and education. I think staging photos and videos of animals that would be intrusive or impossible to capture in the wild falls within the same realm of art performed in service of education and I'm ok with it.
I have been feeling neglectful of some of the more exotic owl species lately. All the GHO and Barred babies have been dominating my feeds recently, so I've been overflowing with that content....
How wild that these continents have such similar owls when so many other continents have owls that look like total aliens to me. Cause if you'd have told me that these were pics of a Burrowing Owl and a GHO, I'd 100% have believed you.
I'm actually surprised that they look more similar than I expected. Especially the coloring on this Pharoah individual and this Eurasian individual. But that body shape is surprisingly preserved across a lot of different geographies.
The guy holding the owl in the photo is the rescuer, not the "depositer!" He says he's running into too many people not reading the article and think he did it....
Ok, I know some country folks, and I can picture trying to deposit a chicken or maybe even a cow. But what on earth possessed this person to think an owl had financial value lol?
