The problem is Blade, like Deadpool, can only be done properly in an R rated film.

They don’t want to give the IP justice and want to pg-13 wash it because they think they will make more money. Deadpool proved that R ratings can take in cash if they let a passionate team and cast go and do what they want.

They don’t even need to integrate vampires into the main MCU. Blade gets a movie. Blade 2 has Blade working with Deadpool in a gloriously gory blood fest with Blade playing straight man to Deadpool’s fool and probably trying to kill him just to shut him up a few times. That way they keep the R rated films separate and build the dark MCU Earth-10005(Deadpool and Wolverine’s new universe) while acknowledging that they are in the same multiverse but are in a separate universe from MCU Earth-616.

The Romans had advice not to buy slaves from asbestos mines due to their poor heath.

I do that and I just get called gay slurs.

Ok, so 0 is obvious. 1 would be killing specific kids. Is 2 not liking kids and not wanting to kill them?

ED is a side effect of steroids… Maybe he should have popped a blue bomber if he knew he was going on the bus?

The AI face unlock can determine residency status and the GPS will ping your location every 5 seconds to DHS and ICE if you don’t have legal residency or citizenship.

It is pretty easy to put on an impressive parade when you have a military of 2 million people and aren’t a global power vs the US with 1.3m and have bases all over the globe. Even Russia was able to put on a bigger parade while they were fighting Ukraine and had lost tens of thousands of soldiers.

The parade was pretty paltry, but the fireworks display was very ostentatious. Breaking out the vintage stuff was cool, but lame that they didn’t at least put some mock .50s on the half track.

If they give you what you want, but harass you enough, you may just stop using an ad blocker to watch the video and might just forget to turn it back once you are done.

If you had to unlock your bathroom door to enter or exit, you will either put forth effort to correct the problem or you will take the lazy route and just prop the door open.

I assume you mean for camping, you could, but the bird would probably love to chew through it and you are just inviting problems that shouldn’t exist. A cage would be smarter, but the while idea of taking a bird camping is just a dumb idea.

Easy to care for, not a great companion, usually not destructive for the sake of destruction and entertainment, almost no personality, can’t really mimmick sounds all that well, should have but doesn’t need a big cage, should have but doesn’t need as much time outside the cage as possible, shorter lifespan, bites are pretty weak but can still draw blood, doesn’t make a lot of loud noises, can’t play tricks on you and mimmick a laugh at your expense, more skiddish, low risk of psychological issues, harder to catch if they escape the cage or need to be put back quickly, cheap to buy and get setup for, hard to train.

They are good starter birds but don’t offer much of a parrot experience vs a cockatiel and far from an eclectus or bigger bird. Having a vet clipping their wings is wise so they are easier to catch without injury, but I favor full flight birds and I can catch a bird on the run with minimal difficulty.

Technically yes, but it is a far more tolerant species to inexperienced owners and can be a great starting point vs a budgie or finch.

OP wanted a parrot and I gave him a better option than an eclectus for his situation and experience.

Peanuts are legumes.

Parrots are the type of animals that if you have to ask if you should get one, you shouldn’t.

They are like buying a permanent toddler with a pair of vice grips for a face that can develop trauma from innocuous things and well develop bad behaviors that have to be addressed appropriately or they will get worse. They can develop mental issues that can lead to self mutilation.

There is no guarantee that an eclectus will be anything like the bird you met. They all have different personalities and they are only vaguely similar. You can have one that is totally chill and loves to cuddle, or you can have one that has anxiety and will viciously attack water bottles and you have no idea what bird you have until it has gone through “puberty”.

If you want a bird, get a cockatiel, not a parrot.

Source: 25+ years of experience living with parrots and 4 years working in a pet store that sold parrots as the “bird guy”. My bird that has anxiety and viciously attacks water bottles is currently yelling from his cage because that is what he likes to do before bed for 10-15 minutes.

How a bird reacts to being abandoned in a strange location for a period of time depends on the bird and your relationship with the bird.

No, you can’t take a flying wild animal camping. The temperature alone would be a risk.

Yes, they can be fine riding in a vehicle if they are in a travel cage that is secure and possibly covered to minimize stress if the bird is overwhelmed. People lose their birds all the time for thinking a loose bird in a car is a smart idea.

Tell us you have no experience with parrots without telling us you have no experience with parrots.

I only heard that term when I moved to the Midwest. One of many odd things they say.

The blocks don’t need to be straight so long as the load is centered and even. The mortar makes it more like a continuous piece than if you had just stacked them with no mortar. Sort of like stacking irregular stones.

To be clear, it isn’t the right way, but it can be fine.

I have seen so many shit jobs like this and had to fix them. The trades joke that masons are the biggest alcoholics and we joke that this type of work is a Monday morning, after lunch, or Friday special; because this sort of nonsense with masonry work is so common.

Those 16x4x8 blocks can hold around 2,000 psi. So an overhang like that isn’t a big deal. The wood shoring holds like half or a quarter of that.

This is the interior of the column, there was a facade around it. You can tell because the mortar in some places are flat from when it was against the facade.

Was it made properly? Not really for supporting a lot of weight, but it was probably fine depending how that overhang was made.

I’m more curious if they have a leash for the bedroom.
