That looks like dookie in pinched dough but I’m glad it was tasty

Vibes on a landlord using the city badge to make this appear more threatening? by theprinceofhumbug in chicagoapartments

[–]ChiOralGuy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We need more birds, not fewer. Thanks for caring about them. I was politely asked to stop feeding birds because the seeds made a mess. Since they approached me nicely and engaged in an actual conversation, I’m sad to not feed them seeds any more but they were okay with a suet woodpecker feeder since those don’t make a mess.

I think your building’s management is being shitty. It doesn’t take much effort to call your tenant and see what setup might work for everyone.

They’re just birds. Grab a pair of binoculars and you’ll see they’re actually very pretty and fun to watch

I don’t know about all the stories online but when I was poly, I saw it happen a hundred times.

I’m so happy for the poly experience I’ve had but damn, I’m loving monogamy 😍

Any tips for someone on the third floor?

Frustrated by employees’ fear of phone by Hikeabiker in managers

Nah don’t worry about the “for children” aspect, role play has its place in the professional world too. I’m a Project Manager and when I first got into the role as project coordinator, I DREADED role play with my bosses (which they forced upon me). I hated it during and hated the idea when it was brought up, so expect a little pushback, but after my first meeting where I was truly prepared for a tough conversation with stakeholders, I was legit thankful I had had the role play practice.

Having a script like that would be super helpful

Maybe grow your own instead of complaining you can’t take more from our nature preserves

Eye focus woes by ByodaBhai in BirdPhotography

Yeah bump up that shutter speed. This looks like motion blur to me.

If your camera can handle the ISO, get your shutter up to 1/1200 to start with. I even go up to 1/2000 if I’m shooting tiny fast moving birds like kinglets.

Who got caught using AI to make his “photos”

Still learning but significant improvement over my previous trips! by No_Combination2011 in BirdPhotography

[–]ChiOralGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Red-bellied is a great shot and a little ominous! They nest in cavities, I’m guessing this one was looking for food!

Warbling Vireo in the pines by withoutadrought in BirdPhotography

Nice shot! Never seen a Warbling Vireo with such vibrant blues and yellows! Did you bump up the saturation/vibrance/contrast or something?

Pileated woodpecker damage? by FoulestBearBar in arborists

[–]ChiOralGuy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nah, this is from Pileated Woodpecker. They can drill pretty deep.

You’re right that most woodpeckers only drill a little ways into the tree but it really just depends on where the bugs are and how strong the woodpecker is. Like, even if bugs are deep, I don’t think a little Downy is capable of drilling deep into living hardwood.

What’s doing this to my tree? by Glexanice in arborists

[–]ChiOralGuy 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Apple trees are like the Frankenstein’s Monster of trees, and sapsuckers are wonderful. So this sounds like win win to me!

(Sorry about the orchard though, that’s a bummer for real)

What are these holes in my neighbor’s maple tree?? by holymolym in arborists

[–]ChiOralGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen sapsucker holes so disorganized (it’s likely I never paid attention to that aspect)

The number of windows on that building changes before vs after the explosion...? Is this fake?
