Nah, they never had a need to build big fancy nests when they were in their natural habitat. Now many of them live in cities where they nest on the sides of buildings, which are very cliff like. I don’t think they’re a very intelligent bird, but the nest building behavior is instinctual, so I wouldn’t expect them to dynamically adjust their nest building.

Biden says he’d be okay losing to Trump, ‘as long as I gave it my all’

I recently learned that since pigeons lived on cliffs, they really only need a bit of sticks to keep their eggs in one place. Unlike a bird, which builds its nest in a tree.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face? I abhor what’s going on in Gaza, but I won’t welcome in fascism by either voting for trump, or just not voting. Especially after the ruling the supreme court handed down, which would let trump do what ever he wants with no worries of legal ramifications. A second trump term will be much much worse than his first term.

I hope this works well! I’m trying to De-google my self, swapped of of gmail to proton mail. However I use a lot of spread sheets for tracking stuff and being able to access those from my desktop, from my phone, where ever via Google Docs was difficult to replace. I look forward to how people feel about this.

The linked article said he was executed after being accused of forming a plan to become king. It goes on to say he was buying up wheat during a famine and selling it cheaply to the poor. After his death, the wheat was distributed to the people. But whether he was guilty of what he was accused and executed isn’t known.

I would have loved Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 so much more if they didn’t have the timer mechanic. Knowing that there were always a bunch of people who were going to die when timer bars reached zero was so stressful. It prevented me from just having fun in a huge zombie sandbox. In Dead Rising 2, the mechanic about needing to find medicine once a day was even MORE stressful on top of the other BS timer missions.

My knee jerk reaction is that the rumors I heard that the game isn’t in a good place might be more then rumors. That sucks, I was really excited for this one, I hope it turns out great.

How I Met your Mother

I couldn’t agree more. The idea seemed to have been “Hey, lets take a joke that was just luke warm at best to begin with, and then over use it in an attempt to wring every single spec of amusement out of it until our audience gets physically sick when they hear it”

Still a fun show though!

Laser-Clown

Right there with ya on that, the first movie was awful, so I never saw the second. Day One looks like the story I actually wanted to see.

It’s a small plastic cup full of ground coffee, Kuerig machines use them. They generated a ton of plastic waste, since each k-cup was a single use.

I also second social media, but I need to make another suggestion it’d be Keurigs k-cups. So much plastic waste for the barest level of convenience.

This reminds me of how in a lot of sci-fi universes, every planet the characters go down to has earth standard gravity. When in reality there would be a ton of variance, some planets would have 20% stronger, or weaker, or crushing.

Expeditionary Force book series was a breath of fresh air, portray space battles how they probably would play out, at such long ranges you could move your ship and avoid a directed energy weapon. The books also do a great job with there being more variety in planetary conditions too. I loved that series. The audio books are fantastic, R.C. Bray does a wonderful job!

As a native english speaker, english is stupid.

Under no circumstance did I expect Trump to gracefully accept a loss. Stone is just stating the obvious.

Oh Hi-Rez you trash company. You ruined one of my favorite franchises of all time, not once, but twice with Tribes Ascend, and Tribes 3.

This year my rent up 20%, which is crazy. My state has no laws in place to protect renters, so when I called the apartment management company to ask if it were a mistake, they said it wasn’t, and when I asked if they could tell me it wouldn’t get raided another 20% next year, I was told they couldn’t guarantee it.

The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:

A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”

Elon is such a weirdo.
