  • chimney cap owl in basement

    Well now, there's something I'd never considered worrying about as a homeowner in New England that I am now going to check into 😱

  • My grandmother with Alzheimer's passed those clinical tests long after she had already asked us to take away her keys because she knew she wasn't safe to drive anymore. So yeah...

  • Rama squirrel! This is one of my favorite religious stories. It's just so frickin adorable. But it's ok, owls. I think Lord Ram will understand that you gotta eat too.

  • The First Amendment means nothing to these people

  • Well shit you're right! I just tend to save things in time order anyway, so I hadn't noticed. I just deliberately saved something out of time order, and sure enough it sorted itself lower down in my save list. Good to know. My bad

  • Who works 24 hours in ffp2? More like 12h in a surgical mask unless dealing with a confirmed Covid patient. It's not that hard.

  • I also suffer from excellent quality, terrible tasting tap water. Tastes like Dasani, even filtered. Sparkling water in cans it is, I guess ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Nice Nebelung you have there. Love them ❤️

  • Maybe not young, but too young to die of a treatable cancer.

  • Christ, he's so young to die of a treatable cancer.

  • Dude, in the 5th episode of season 1, they encounter an alien species that has been decimated by an infection with a phage (which is a virus that targets bacteria, not animals, but ok). This species' solution to their problem is to steal organs from other species and graft them into their own bodies. So after two millennia, they have the tech to overcome organ rejection, but can't figure out how to deal with a virus.

    So they steal Neelix's LUNGS, and he sits in sickbay with no lungs while they have a whole ass conversation about trying a dangerous experimental surgery to give him holographic lungs. They do this, and at the end of the episode, their solution is to transplant one of Kes's lungs into Neelix, leaving them both with one lung.

    The doctor just says, "Don't worry you'll get used to it," and the whole show moves on like none of this ever happened.

    Omg. Airing alongside DS9 in the wake of TNG, I can see why I declined to watch this show when it originally aired. The season 1 writing is just so bad. But I'm gonna tough it out this time.

  • Oh that sounds awesome, thanks for the suggestion

  • Yeah in my old age, I've learned to forgive the 1st season of most shows and just power through it to get to the good stuff.

    The Expanse and Mr. Robot are both huge and surprising exceptions to that rule.

  • No, I just started watching Voyager for the first time! This can't be true.

    (In my defense, Voyager writers are as painfully terrible with science concepts in season 1 as I remembered. But this time, I'm gonna hold my nose and get through it, so I can see the stuff everyone loves so much.)

  • Definitely no.

  • That includes hospitals. Hospital corporations providing the least service for as much as they can get away with charging for it.

  • Correct. This is the real takeaway here. It's terrifying that Antarctica is so warm.

  • That is already illegal. Prior auth was not a necessary intervention for this problem.

  • 🎵🎶There's an owl in a hole in the log on the floor of the forest over by me 🎶🎵
