That could be Mama. Nests are not the safest place for fledglings, so mom or dad will push them out of the nest, but they are not abandoned. (Predators can find a nest easier than an able-bodied fledgling).
I once rescued a baby chickadee from a neighborhood cat that was stalking it. The parents were going nuts in the tree above, so i set the little bugger in a yew bush and took the cat away and gave it treats. Everyone was happy that day

If i knew of any execs near where i live they would be getting a front row seat to my reenactment of the Office Space printer scene.
It's rare for me to viscerally hate someone just for existing, but if i met an HP exec I would have to exert quite a bit of self control to not beat them until I lost feeling in my hands
Ray Belli is amazing and I've failed to learn so many things from his podcast because as soon as he starts speaking my mind wanders. It's like the audio version of reading the same paragraph four times because my brain decides to think about something else while my eyes move across the page
TBH, smaller communities with more engagement is better IMO. If you don't get in early there's no chance to do more than passively comment and get no reply. If I'm going to engage in conversation I'd like at least a little back and forth. Where the lack of volume really is felt is in niche subjects
Dunno where I'm going with this, but your point is valid. I just kinda like the small web feel. Reminds me of early Internet days
When I was about 8/9 years old I was told by a friend of mine I couldn't play with them any more. Their mother didn't approve of it for some reason....
Are you kidding? I didn't handle things maturely at 23! But hey! thanks for getting me to think about aaaaaallllllllllllllllll of my embarrassing childhood memories. Funny how there's so few good memories, but loads of embarrassing ones
Your posts, maybe. Apparently I've been shadow banned
I don't even know what the offensive post was, there's zero communication. I only post on my local city subreddit and one directly related to my trade, so whatever i guess. It was a good site for a while
I had one like that a while back. I'd heard the song on Pandora a few times and liked it, but it was just background music while i was working. The tune was catchy, but I couldn't remember the lyrics at all. I tried humming it into sound hound and stuff, but to no avail.
Finally my wife was playing Pandora when I came home from work and it was on.
Welcome Home, Son - Radical Face
Back in the late nineties I had the reverse problem. I heard a cover of Bakers Street by the Foo Fighters on an independent radio station. I knew it was from a Japanese version of The Colour and the Shape, but no one had the CD. (Actually it was the UK version of the single My Hero, but either I misheard or the DJ was wrong. No wonder I couldn't find it.) Then, Napster happened. I've still got that song somewhere on an old HDD, in all its 128 Kbps glory
Related to fall protection training, this might be a practical demonstration of the extension length of different types of lanyards (the "rope" that secures the body harness to the anchor point) using weighted dummies. Some lanyards will stretch a few inches, some several feet. Their use varies depending on total fall height, anchor points, work space requirements, really a lot of different factors. But use the wrong one and you'll wind up with broken legs and a wedgie instead of a safety report and buying beers for your coworkers.
I doubt that's what's being demonstrated here, but it's a possibility
Edit: turtle loving duck, just to be clear, i was mansplaining for the masses. You clearly have a firm grasp of fall protection
And it wasn't a proprietary storage card? They didn't invent their own headphone jack that only works with Sony headphones? Amazing. It's like a whole new company!
If you can't tell, I'm still salty about aaaaaallllllllllllllllll the shit they pulled in the 90s/00s. Nothing like buying an mp3 player with money I should've been spending more responsibly and then learning I could only use Sony brand storage cards. Cards that cost twice as much for the same storage space. I bought my Xbox and dropped PlayStation solely because of those shenanigans.
If, in twenty years, HP makes the only computer that doesn't give you literal AIDS I still won't buy one. And i feel the same about Sony today
Dude I went straight back to J&R on Park Row and returned that thing. I had SD cards from my camera that I planned to use, and didn't ask about storage at the store (mistakes of youth lol). I eventually got a Zen (30Gb!) a year or two later. What a tank!

I don't dislike most animals. I love all of God's creatures… sometimes with barbeque sauce. Except chihuahuas, screw those guys
In all seriousness though, aside from the bitey and parasitic insects I enjoy animals for what they are. The only reason I dislike chihuahuas is their behavior within the realm of a domesticated animal. However, just like a small child that will kick you in the shins, punch you in the nuts, and scream until they get what they want, I've found with chihuahuas that punting them into a wall just once usually solves the problem.
My wife on the other hand does not like larger birds. She thinks chickens, ducks, and geese "look weird" and "shouldn't be able to stand up, shaped like that". She does, however, like them with barbeque sauce.
I wish I could find the original quote, but Sam Vimes, in one of Terry Pratchett's books, says something to the effect of "being one of nature's pedestrians. Never trust anything that looks at you with its teeth"
For convenience sake let's say you have 2 identical lasers, one is blue and one is red. And you shine it on lead (so none of the light leaks through) until the lead doesn't heat up anymore.

Oh I have a question! Do all frequencies on the EM spectrum emit photons? Like, when gamma rays or X rays or microwaves hit something are photons bouncing off/being absorbed and we just can't see them?

Will it make it easier to type out or sweetie swipe again? I'm so tired of having to edit every other word in a text or email. I'm On the other hand, much as Disney motivated me to finally investigate and implement a mass NAS box, Alphabet is finally motivating me to look into Graphene OS. And Microsoft, with it's Windows 11 socket dickery, has me moving toward a Linux distro.
Btw, any suggestions on a distro that let's Nvidia work out of the box, runs down Steam easily, and would allow me to use MS365 for work stuff without arguing to too much?
Yeah I'll likely do a VM for 365. How does steam do on those distros? Or more specifically, how do BG3, Cyberpunk 2077, and RDR2 hold up? I'd just like to know how much wrestling I'm facing here
I have a friend that works with a rescue group in Colorado, almost exclusively for cattle dogs. They rescue and re-home the dogs for a variety of reasons. The most prevalent is the dog can't work anymore and will be put down. That's it. It got too old and is consuming resources without producing.
I'm not saying all farmers and ranchers are like this, but the mentality certainly exists. These people see certain life as a commodity only, and it often extends to cruelty to "lower life". It's even at the root of calling people who aren't in their tribe "lower life", and devaluing them accordingly
