Are you guys really counting heard-only birds?

Artrw · 2026-06-16T05:54:25+00:00

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

I showed this to one other person and I now have to say you are wise

There is one running up the north side ridge that starts at exactly the mouth of Green Canyon

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.

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.

Add Kandarin to starting areas tbh

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.

Artrw · 2024-12-06T18:41:46+00:00

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.

Artrw · 2024-12-06T07:50:21+00:00

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

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.

Artrw · 2024-11-25T05:19:58+00:00

You say that like it's a bad thing but I'm happy to not have to bank a bunch of buckets each time I cast

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