I still don’t want it on my desk though.

I love Lucifer. Every episode is exactly the same and it’s amazing.

I think one of the theories is that Hank doesn’t actually know how Pym particles work and it’s basically magic. Because if you watch it keeping weight in mind none of it makes sense.

I’ve been waiting for new bird names to drop for months!

I did Zoology, half my classes had us either identifying dead animals (whole / parts) or dissecting them. One of my tests was identifying the sex, age, and species of waterfowl just by their severed wings. I also did a summer plant class where all we did was walk trails and identify plants.

Feds are loosening up Eagle take and to a lesser extent peregrine take for falconry in the US.

Golden eagles used to be illegal for falconers to take from the wild until a few years ago, now there is a lottery to take problem eagles off of ranches. They used to issue permits for ranchers to shoot them, and wind turbines to hit them, but wouldn’t let falconers take them as hunting partners which was very silly. It’s loosening up a bit now which is good. Less dead eagles this way.

Most states have a lottery system to take peregrines already but their population is thriving. I can see states getting rid of the lottery in the next few years. The 50 or so birds taken by falconers each year across the US would be a rounding error to their population anyway.

Should have told them it was an on prem cloud lol.

Atomic Wafer Challenge

But the new study, led by Felipe Yamashita, a doctoral student at the University of Bonn, takes this a giant step further. It suggests that B. trifoliolata uses lens-like cells in its leaves, or “ocelli,” to detect the shape and other attributes of nearby plants. Then, it somehow processes that information and uses it to form new leaves in their image.

(I know OPs plant is not mimicking real birds like this, my plant is just neat and I wanted to share)

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA), codified at 16 U.S.C. §§ 703–712 (although §709 is omitted), is a United States federal law, first enacted in 1918 to implement the convention for the protection of migratory birds between the United States and Canada.[1] The statute makes it unlawful without a waiver to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, or sell nearly 1,100 species of birds listed therein as migratory birds. The statute does not discriminate between live or dead birds and also grants full protection to any bird parts, including feathers, eggs, and nests.

I just watched Hot Tub Time Machine for the first time the other day. The ending is incredibly messed up. They come back and stuff is different but they don’t have memory of the last 20 years? They just overwrote the new timeline versions of themselves. And Rob Corddry isn’t even sad about it, he’s basically like screw those guys that I’ve built my life around I got my messed up friends back.

The rest of the movie is pretty good though.

If the game is actually good there will almost always be another Kickstarter later if it doesn’t go retail, but it could be years. Except for CMON games which are based on FOMO, those do not come back and retail can be significantly worse.

Yes, kind of. Homing pigeons will naturally fly back home, training them just involves releasing them further and further away.

Animal emotions is a hugely debated and studied topic, at least it was 10 years ago. It was a grave sin to anthropomorphize animals that have not been properly studied when I was in school. That comment is probably a tongue in cheek comment on that

If you are looking for a companion, definitely. If you are looking for an animal bred for a specific purpose, find a reputable breeder.

It’s not pica, they sell soil or clay in markets for consumption, usually for pregnancies:

I abused the shit out of my loppers and cracked the blade. They sent me a new blade without much fuss.

Simon doesn’t really care about wearing clothes but he definitely thinks he’s people. I love my goofy little guy and Archie looks like a very good boy.

Poodle gang

You can do a similar thing if you see a bird with a wing tag. You get a little certificate but no little bird pin thing sadly.
