    Paywalls in scientific publications are so fucking egregious - they really try to measure the value of the knowgedge to a price tag; the same publication might give you an article on ichnites for free, but a full blown gen et sp now - PAY UP baby!

    Love when Americans get all concerned with mis-pronouncing something foreign "ouch, I'm probably butchering this!"
    It's very charming, obv but entirely unnecesary - I can promise you, you can't pronounce it either way
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    Like... nobody can! Tightly packed continents with shit tons of languages kind of understand that intuitively, so it's always fun when an American goes "oh, I'm sorry, I don't know how to pronounce this!"
    Just say what you think it says, thats what we do! :D

    We refer to entire countries as whatever we thought it said, when we first checked - the Germans said "Deutch" norwegians shrugged and said "Tysk" forever.

    I resqued a large drone ant from a water bowl outside, it dried its wings off, then it chewed its wings off, and walked off my hand

    I've spoiled my magpies with unsalted cashews.

    zegh8578
    I bought them a mix pack unsalted nuts, and presented them with a sample of each; a brazil nut (i broke it into 3 pieces) an almond, a pecan (broken in two halves) and a hazel - one of them swung by; examined all of them - then LEFT!

    wtf!!?

    so it's cashews or nothing!
    they also like walnuts, but cashews are like ambrosia for them

    Never really bothered with the "General knowledge" YT channel, but watched once, and...I don't wanna be a dick but

    Whenever I listen to Tools later albums, I inevitably get nostalgic to Ænima, and change the record.

    Still haven't fully gotten "into" Lateralus yet, fucking album takes forever; mostly skipped 10K, now jumping into Fear; so far has nice vibe, lots of throwbackyness - maybe that helps.

    Gulls aren't stupid, for birds, they're very intelligent, they're just dead serious about everything, no sense of humor, all work

    I don't like gulls they show extreme intelligence, even problem-solving intelligence. Especially the big ones. We bred eight originally, but when she came in she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. That one... when she looks at you, you can see she's working things out. That's why we have to feed them like this. She had them all attacking the fences when the feeders came.

    Gulls are giant pigeons. They eat our garbage and shit on everything, only more. Since pigeons are flying rats, gulls are giant flying rats. Wear a poncho.

    I was 10 when "Smells like teen spirit" came out, and I just realized, I would approach it (and many other music videos) like horror movies
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    A lot of them would later be favorites of mine, like classics of the previous decade or whatever, but when I was a kid - those songs already represented the current state of teen-hood, and my god, how atrotiously chaotic it looked, how seedy

    But I couldn't look away, like a scary movie watched on purpose for the thrills, I'd come back and watch more, pouting in paradoxal fascination.

    Birdlings fledged today; only two - one visibly smaller than the first out; I'm guessing it followed cus it was left alone

    eventually I went outside, grabbed the bird (it's okay, as long as you put it in their box/nest/shelter; just do not bring inside or to vet) put it into the box, from which it stubbornly escaped as soon as I went back inside - so, it sat in the rain again
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    it called for the parents, but they're off for the night + its pouring down, and then... little by little, it went towards the box - then snuck inside! It's been inside since, it should be dry, sheltered from wind, and hopfully the parents will swing by tomorrow with grubs.
    It *can* fly, it's just not fully clicked yet, so hopefully tomorrow.

    He made it! I heard one feeding in the morning; skies have been clear, no strange noise - the box is clear, dry as the desert inside, and two little poops were left!
    Godspeed little tit! Godspeed!
    zegh8578
    Also, can you English speakers please revise your bird names, cocks and tits and boobies, I have a great tit family living in my wall but

    it sounds insane to be reporting on my relentless great tits

    they are relentless though, my god

    Dammit, one of them died. On the balcony floor, scrawny, shouldn't be for the time they've been in there, a last runt maybe... ? I imagine parents musta dropped it there, so I dropped it to the lawn.

    Our telecom ads are so boomercoded it's hilarious how they portray "hackers" and such - with big red letters on their evil screens

    In one, the "protagonist" gets a phonecall from "his daughter" but nei - it is in fact a creepy hax0rz who use *software* to make himself SOUND like the daughter! Shudder :O

    Saw my extremely emotionally unstable brother off the other day, his first visit to my apartment, before he leaves for the fucking Carribean

    I am left to hope for something fucking up, preventing him from going - he's supposed to live with his wife in the Dominican Republic, but dude can't even live with her here - he got admitted to the psych ward for extreme act-outs
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    Before getting on the bus, he told me he was terrified of going, especially since he's gonna be alone in a 3rd world country - he gets drunk, he gets beligerent, and again... I can now only hope they send him back here, where he will still be miserable, but at least not in danger of fucking murder...

    I was worried the entire day before the visit, because he can be unpredictable, now I feel like shit, because the whole time he intended it as a good bye :I
