I did not need to know this existed. I already dislike snakes, I think in part because I find their movement patterns alien and unpredictable, but this is just breaking my brain.
That said it could also be that I never find one until it's underneath the log I just picked up or immediately under my foot as I'm walking. Very rarely do I see one from a distance and think "Oh cool a snake!"
My wife liked the idea of Eleanor if we had a girl, I never liked it, but luckily we had a boy, so we didn't have to cross that bridge.
At work, we named the old, decrepit copier Opal in an effort to humanize it and get people to treat the old girl with more love and patience.
I don't think my head ever touches my headrest when I'm driving. Rarely, I'll lean back while sitting still, but that's the only time I'm ever even aware of it.
I'm torn between my love for character actress Margo Martindale and my desire to not give Amazon any of my money.
I drive a newer Tacoma. It looks like a little baby next to full-sized pickups, but it's a giant if I pull up next to an older Tacoma at a traffic light.
I think most students are copying/pasting instructions to GPT, not uploading documents.
Well I didn't have lose to Indiana by 45 and almost beat Ohio State on my bingo card. If we comfortably beat UCLA next week, I'm feeling alright on the season, but I'm haunted by not clinching bowl eligibility last year in three winnable games.
After watching Raiola overthrow wide-open Fidone against Illinois and Barney twice today, I swear he is allergic to throwing tds.
Nebraska vs Ohio State
Not that I expected us to win this or have much of a chance, but these refs are killing any hope I had left.
The good news here is that all the signs in Cherry county still all only account for fifteen voters (thank goodness cattle can't vote), so a lot of Osborne signs in Omaha is still a good sign. My mom is very excited for him in Grand Island. There's some support out west.
While I agree that at its heart it's a red vs blue issue, I've seen more than enough explicitly sexist commentary from Trump supporters, most commonly suggesting that Kamala has attained her status via sexual favors rather than years of public service.
I, a high school English teacher, reread "A Good Man is Hard to Find" today. Shit hits different when you have your own kids.
I just started getting into Enshrouded. It seems fun so far, but I haven't gotten very far yet. I'm playing with a group of friends and it seems a little harder to juggle solo vs group play in Enshrouded than it was in Valheim since it's more quest/exploration based for experience.
I want this too, but I wish I didn't have to suffer through the proof on Saturday afternoon.
I see predominantly picture posts here, but I wonder if text posts have a place too. I think it would be cool to share memorable birding experiences. A few come to mind for me.
This spring I saw my first Whooping Crane. I grew up in the migration path and went looking every year. I'd seen millions of sandhill cranes. Hundreds of white spots that turned out only to be two snow geese flying together or a plastic bag waving on a corn stalk. This spring I visited my home town and it happened to be during the migration. My two year old loves birds, so I thought he'd like to see so many birds at once. Unfortunately he was more interested in sitting in the truck while I looked at birds. On the way back home, a quarter mile before getting on the highway, I saw a white spec in a field, pulled over in a farmers drive way and just knew it was it. Thirty years later, I'd finally found one. Crossing it off in the index of my Sibley's was one of the most cathartic experiences of my life.
Another experience I love is the first time I saw California condors. My family visited the Grand Canyon, and I knew there was a chance to see them. When we got there they were flying so close and I couldn't even speak. My mom still tells of me pointing and saying "C-c-c-condors!".
My grandma is the one that got me into birding. She took me on a trip to an eagle count at a lake a few hours away. We saw many eagles that day. I also saw a great horned owl in broad daylight, which I've yet to see again; I remember how yellow it's eyes were. At the end of the day we stopped at the dam and my grandma put her spotting scope on some mallards and other ducks sitting around a section of open water. While I was watching, an Eagle came up and flew right over the dam, only a few dozen feet over head, then swooped down and crushed the mallard in the spotting scope so easily. We stayed and watched it eat until it was run off by other eagles that came for an easy meal.
My friend and I made a hardcore world this Monday and have been playing 6-8 hours daily, but have not had a single raid yet. We killed the first two bosses already. Maybe it's a bug with the pts? Maybe we're just incredibly lucky? I can't believe I'm asking for troll raids, but the leather would have been nice for armor.
