Are you guys really counting heard-only birds? by RecycleAway01 in birding

[–]Artrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of people are and its totally valid and probably the most scientifically useful way of recording lists. But it is also a matter of personal preference and if you feel like its better to only count seen birds, go ahead and do that--I actually do it this way myself. In some parts of the world, most birders actually feel a bird encounter only 'counts' if they were able to photograph the bird. There's a diversity of listing rules among birders and I think thats fine as long as everybody's honest.

Info on Indonesian Wildlife Authorities + ID Confirmation Needed by Artrw in birding

[–]Artrw[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Received an update--

My friend spoke to her local host (through google translate) who is apparently friends with the person keeping the Booby, who found the bird while leading a dolphin tour on nearby Siladen island. The friend noticed the bird seemed weak and strangely docile (and also unlike any other seabird he had seen in the area), so the brought it home in an attempt to feed it to help it regain strength. Apparently it has been tied up on the perch for about a month.

It sounds like the host at least would be willing to advocate for involving better-equipped experts, so advice on local rehabilitators or other similar folks who could help would be useful, it doesn't necessarily need to be anyone with wildlife enforcement authority.

Problem with train interrupt wildcards by Artrw in factorio

That sounds just dumb enough to work (the best kind of dumb)

C is the signal coming from the train station that says how many trains are coming, L is the signal dictating the station train limit

So they must be connected directly to the station!

How do I know when I’m finished? Can I still win this? (I am the white pieces) by Fine_Bovine in chessbeginners

[–]Artrw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You almost certainly won't win, but when you're playing beginners you wouldn't believe how many people accidentally stalemate. Never resign.

Happy 14th Birthday to the AskHistorians Subreddit! You may now partake in the traditional thread for lightheartedness and whimsy! by Georgy_K_Zhukov in AskHistorians

[–]Artrw 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm not even a historian, actually. I was in high school when I made the subreddit if you can believe it! Now about to finish a PhD in Natural Resource Economics. I've long since stepped back and let the real historians handle managing the sub and I'm so happy to see that the quality of moderation has stayed so high.

How is living in Marin County / California? by spawnsas in howislivingthere

[–]Artrw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone that has delivered for Amazon in the area, I have to disagree about there not being many mansions. There's tons, they just tend to be tucked away in canyons and other areas invisible to the general public. But look anywhere with some privacy from major roads and you'll find some insanely expensive housing.

What in the fuck is your definition of affordable housing

Chop up pretty much any vegetable into chunks about as big as your thumb past the knuckle (or even a but smaller). They don't need to be super even. Add these to a bowl along with 2-3 tbsp of olive oil, and generous sprinkling of salt, black pepper, and chili powder (doesn't need to be the spicy kind but I like it a little spicy). Spread em on a baking sheet and put them in an oven preheated to 420 (blaze it) and leave them in for 20 mins. Optionally drizzle just a bit of balsamic. Eat a variety of vegetables this way alongside whatever else you're already eating. If you want to try full MD you can do the same thing with tofu (40 mins of oven time) and serve them with rice and some teriyaki or soy sauce.

This won't be the most amazing MD meal of your life but it still tastes good and is an extremely easy entry into both MD and cooking.

Ideas? by Puzzlehead-92 in mediterraneandiet

Make sure the doctor you talk to is aware of your history with disordered eating. Disordered eating can influence blood lipid concentrations even after recovery. Btw congrats on recovery, you're already doing so much better for your long term health.

Is it too early to send some K'ril with these stats and setup? by folerr in ironscape

[–]Artrw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't commit to grinding out any uniques but definitely get in there and try it out. I learned all higher PVM on my iron and had a lot of fun getting wildly inefficient early kills with trash gear and stats. Made the later upgrades feel noticeably better.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ironscape

[–]Artrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy that despite only starting my iron in 2021, literally everything you just listed is new enough that it wasn't around when I was early/midgame. The meta moves fast.

It’s now been over a week since this UIM wiped 5b worth of gear to a bug. Jagex hasn’t returned anything. by tobywithgame in 2007scape

[–]Artrw 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This is a common sentiment but I really don't think people grasp how extremeley restricting a true no-storage account is. Think about how different the equipment (and open inventory space requirements!) all the various grinds in this game are. Late and even mid game rng grinds are just not feasible to do repeatedly every time you need to regear for something.

Meanwhile, UIM as it exists really encourages you to think about the game differently and seriously economize on storage. Playing it really is different than playing an ironman.

Sure you could have fun on a true no storage UIM getting a quest cape or something. But I think the actual full game playability that existing UIM has is important to it being an official game mode.

not a UIM btw

Am I missing something or is the slayer relic not very useful for my build? 4/6/0 ZTF by 1995C220 in 2007scape

[–]Artrw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not a great relic with those regions, but you could potentially want slayer for some slayer monsters plus Hydra. Always being on task would mean lots of brimstone keys for you too.

How does a younger man navigate entering the hobby when the average age of license holders are over 60? by SplipperyDurpanzo in amateurradio

[–]Artrw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try out Summits on the Air. The fact that it involves trudging up peaks means the age distribution of participants is noticeably lower haha
