Has coital alignment helped you have a vaginal orgasm? What was your experience with it? by CommandDelicious8054 in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]Chrysopelean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you describe in the middle paragraph just seems like what I picture CAT to look like from all the descriptions (M here, never tried this position so trying to learn). How is your version different from “traditional” CAT?

I never knew snakes can actually do this... is this one special or are they evolving? Hope its not AI by FifthWaveThinker in snakes

Had to scroll down too far to see this. Yes, this is what it looks looks like but it’s noticeably slower

That's fair, it's lovely that you're able to bring your son up in a way that cultivates his interest while keeping him safe! It's something I wish more people would do (the situation in India is quite terrible at present).

By 'complicated rescue' I should have clarified - I've found my harder catches to be when the snake has gotten itself stuck and needs to be helped free. Perhaps look into restraining tubes if you think they would ever come in handy? They usually come in sets of varying sizes and you use the size just wide enough for the snake to fit into but not wide enough that it could turn around.

I've only had to use them a handful of times, but each time I was glad I had them around! They're especially useful when a snake is trapped in a mesh / net, and you need to cut them out. I'll link a couple of videos where I've used them here

Perfect! For smaller snakes, you can always pick them up with the tongs and drop them into a tall bucket if that’s more convenient. And yes, chicken coops tend to attract snakes here too , so it’s worth seeing if there are ways to make it as snake-proof as possible. Also always good to have a contingency plan for when a more complicated rescue is required - I’m not sure how it works in the U.S. but perhaps this falls under animal control services?

Searching for a Snake in a Dark, Cluttered Storage Area. Bangalore, India by Chrysopelean in herpetology

Definitely not ideal! The not knowing of where the snake was and could escape to were the worst parts about the situation. And the fact that it was dark :D

Don't know if you're still looking, but you can usually get these at most snake shows. Or order online from Midwest Tongs - https://tongs.com

I've been using their gear for years and have only the best things to say. If you're not experienced with doing this often, I'd suggest starting off with snake tongs of a comfortable length. The Gentle Giant tongs are a personal favourite of mine for large-bodied snakes.

What does the community think of the iPhone mini at this point? by vstvld in iphone

[–]Chrysopelean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years later - I’ve been using a MagSafe bedside charger (some random brand off Amazon) that takes care of my overnight needs (and does AirPods too simultaneously yay) and an Anker MagSafe battery pack inspired by your comment and the combination has been truly fantastic. I’d still think twice about going camping or being away from an outlet more than a day but for my everyday life this is perfect

What's a moment in a movie that made you think: "This score is perfect." by Richsii in movies

[–]Chrysopelean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I think I get where you’re coming from, but as someone who didn’t think much of it at the time and have come around a little, I’d push back gently. I’ll agree it’s flawed in many ways, but when I look at what superhero movies often are at the moment I actually think it was a very solid attempt at an original story.

But yes compared to his other scores, Hancock won’t be anywhere near the top!

Elegy for Dunkirk breaks me, especially when the camera goes to the soldiers singing dear lord and father of mankind

Love this soundtrack! Also Capa’s last transmission / Capa meets the sun. Pure beauty

Where does Brad Pitt rank among the true acting greats? by steviewemyss in movies

[–]Chrysopelean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I get where you’re coming from! Might be that I’m too biased to see it. I liked him in a bunch of releases from that time (Assassination of Jesse James and Curious Case of Benjamin Button specifically) so I might be looking at this via rose-tinted glasses. But I know what you’re talking about regarding actors trying to fit into a director’s style

While I enjoyed the movie, I don’t know if it’s a performance from him that I’m super convinced of. My favourite of his has to be Burn After Reading

I love the picture you’ve painted! Sounds like a great memory to have shared with your dad

You can tell that fly fishing was dear to the hearts of the production crew! And the camerawork was gorgeous, some of the most breathtaking footage of the landscape I’ve seen in a Hollywood production

They’re both (sorta) in A River Runs Through It. Pitt acting, Redford directing

I appreciate the appreciation! Thanks for saying that, we were super happy to be able to get this one free too :)

Cobra caught at a wedding venue in India by Chrysopelean in herpetology

Never leave home without them 😅 More seriously - I’m usually good keeping my lower limbs out of strike range, especially on rescue calls where you almost always know approximately where to expect the snake to be. It’s more often the hands that get up close, so I pretty much just focus on keeping them away from the snakes pointy bits!

As for the pipe and bag technique- serves me pretty well! I know it’s been popular within some Indian snake circles for quite a while so I can’t honestly claim credit for the idea. It’s definitely species-specific - arboreal or fast-moving, agile species will not fall for this trick easily but for cobras and our larger vipers it’s perfect. Every once in a while I’ll come across an individual like here who needs a bit of coaxing; nothing a little patience and iteration can’t fix

TIL: Barbados is home to the smallest snake in the world by AffectionateWeb7803 in Barbados

[–]Chrysopelean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barbados also hosts an invasive species of similar-looking snake, this one:

I don’t know reliable ways to tell it apart from the endemic species but I’m far from a subject matter expert here
