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

Thank you for copying the article over <3

The prison terms for each of those charges will be served concurrently.

So he will be serving 5 years (or less). Shame. This guy is a time bomb. The worst part is the ex will be haunted by his existence for, well, a long time. There is no good way to have peace when you know a psychopath holds a grudge against you.

The grandfather said Carlos Perez has been on his own for most of his life. The 24-year-old needs help, not prison, Louis Perez said.

No parents in the picture, brother killed in a drive-by, and grandfather the only person on record willing to speak for him. Without robust mental health support and a sufficient social network the guy is a societal dead end, and the world will be richer without him in it. I’m not advocating he be put down, just acknowledging the reality of mental health care in this country. Best case scenario he actually gets the help he needs, but what will actually happen is he’ll be in jail for a couple years and then released to ruin someone’s life. The only way this gets resolved within the current system is with a sharpened tooth brush

Is that Dollar Store Jimmy Fallon?

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

Do you find anything funny about the name…

Bigus…

Dickus?

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

This weekend a whole lot of sunlight had the opportunity of beating me about the face, neck, and arms. I’m not embarrassed, really, but I am a bit red in the face about it

I think we can all agree that intentionally killing or maiming someone is a step too far. A little light stabbing in response to malicious cuntery is perfectly acceptable

Like, fatally stabbed? That’s a bit much

But, you know, a flesh wound, a bit of an ouchy, something to make you think next time you open your goddamn mouth Kevin you ignorant waste of skin…

Yeah I’d say that’s reasonable

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

To answer the questions of archeologists, obviously

This is dumb and I love it

Ooh neat! Thank you, very well described for a layman such as myself

If my math is correct that’s over 1.5 million USD at current market rates

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?

While I appreciate the spotlight on Boeing there’s definitely ongoing maintenance challenges happening at the major airlines as well. And the root cause of these issues is the same as Boeing, corporate greed and short-sighted focus on quarterly gains.

A lot more people will die before these systemic issues are rectified

:-D i found my people

This is a core memory movie for me. I watched it so much i nearly demagnetized the tape.

Yes. Tape.

And i know all the words to the Pizza Hut commercial that came before the movie:

Off in the distance / the game’s dragging on. / There’s strikes on the batter / some runners are on. / When suddenly everyone’s looking at me. / My mind has been wondering “What could it be?” / They point to the sky and I look up above / and a baseball falls intoooo my glooooove! / I / play / right-field, it’s important to know / you gotta know how to pitch, / you gotta know how to throw. / That’s why I play in right field / way out where the dandelions groooooow.

Ahhh the memories

organized crime

Look I know some people don’t like cats, but I think it’s a little extreme to say they’re criminals. I also highly doubt they organize in any appreciable way.

They do kill a lot of birds tho
