Angry Mama and Papa Owl swooping silently with beak and talons engaged disagree. Mama's like, "I will feed your eyeballs to my son." Dad says, "And your ears."
Reminder not to "rescue" baby birds whose parents will continue to feed them. If it's not fledged and really fell, you can try putting it in an open box in the nearest tree to make it easier and safer from predators. But flying down is naturally easier than flying up, so the parents expect this stage and continue to take care of them, catching food for them and bringing them to food sources to start feeding themselves.
Since we're not starving to death, in fact are more likely to be obese, the addition of fiber can be a good thing. It helps move the starch molecules through the stomach and small intestine faster so they don't cause a blood sugar spike, and helps you feel full longer. In the case of cheese, which is very constipating, the addition of fiber can mitigate that effect. It's good for the bowels and may help prevent hemorrhoids. Psyllium is more effective because it absorbs water and surrounds the starch and fat molecules, but it has a negative effect on the texture of dough and would make the grated cheese more gluey rather than keeping it from sticking together. Cheese itself isn't starchy but it's often eaten with starch, like pizza crust or croutons. Wheat bran is full of cellulose, it's part of why whole-wheat flour is healthier.

Next school year, my son will be left home after school for a few hours while my wife and I are at work. I'm looking for a way to detect when he's home and have the front door unlock (among other automation scripts that are in place)....
It's possible that the school would allow him to drop off a phone in the front office every morning and pick it up before walking home. Depends how nice you are to the office ladies, but that's always a good idea anyway because they're more powerful than you can imagine. (Some school office staff may not be ladies these days but the principle still applies, and in elementary school most probably still are.)
At that age, it's normal for you and your peers to make dismissive judgements about each other's behavior as you sort out your own ways of existing in the world.
What "weird" means here is, "this makes me uncomfortable so I reject it." Similarly, if they'd said it was "cool" it would mean, "this intrigues me and I might like to try it in my life."
In both cases they project their personal reaction as if it's the universal judgement of society. And because at this age the opinion of one's peers is an important part of one's self-esteem, you've taken it as a social judgement rather than a personal one, and come to Lemmy to see if there's social support for your side.
Personally, I can only say, there's no harm in it. If it's weird at all, it's good weird, like most weird is.
I would look at that number differently on different days. Sometimes I might interpret it as a reminder to get shit done. Today I might think, "You have survived these many days, you can survive today." Although at my age, the number of days is gonna run out of room on the screen.... (Edit: it's only 23,449 days. Heck, I can do more than that!)
I think the more important thing to notice here is that the elephant could just as easily have broken the wall and walked through; instead, it didn't cause damage, just got the delicious food to fill its hungry belly. Ten points for Elefandor!
Difficult to say how tall the tree is for those wondering, but quite tall. It was another black cat that scared her up there... Been waiting for her to come down for one hour now.. 🙁...
As long as there's a series of jumps they can land safely, they'll get down by themselves. They don't like to climb backwards. This looks like a good tree for getting down from.
Just bask in the knowledge that you are not responsible for that child. (Other than in a generalized "it takes a village" kind of way.) Having raised a couple, I get a kick out of hearing the little toddler feet or hungry baby-wail above me, especially late at night and thinking "not my problem!" as I roll over and went go to sleep.
Theoretically to check for smuggling and/or theft, I've been told. Come to think of it, if exactly the right weight of merchandise "fell off the back of the truck" to balance the weight of the humans you're trafficking, you'd be safe and make double profits.
I think he was perfectly justified in removing the plants, but should have done so before he wound up screwing the innocent new tenants who probably can't break the contract unless it specifically includes the plants. By delaying, he's basically handing the landlord a check from the new people.
As long as you feel you want to avoid responsibilities, please do so in a responsible way. Use condoms every time, and don't get involved with a person who wants children. Be a good support-player at work so your manager doesn't have to be a bitch (they still might, in which case support your coworkers). And contribute in low-effort ways like donating an occasional pint of blood if you're eligible, or offering to put someone else's cart away at the grocery store. Just being a decent person is enough.

Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can?
