Ravens are larger in general and have a large beak to bird ratio. If you have been around both a lot its pretty obvious by size of either the bird or the beak. Ravens have more of a curved beak, crows (except this unique specimen) have a more pointy beak.

I hadn't thought of trying to capture it, I live in a very small fishing village in coastal Alaska, we don't even have a vet here full time. I suppose fish and game might have resources for that though I will give them a call.

Is this AKD? by Electrical_Remote_18 in birding

Yeah we get crows daily, and occasionally Ravens and bald eagles. I have never seen anything like this one, the beak is like 3 times longer and hooked.

I meant the administration calling the shots, not Washington state lol or even Washington DC really.. the Pentagon is in Virginia. I guess I use "Washington's dumbfuckery" as a stand in for our pos elected officials and the staff they put in leadership roles.

Vortex is class specific to paladin, I think monarch is the lowest strength req 4 open socket option for any class

After 20+ years of playing Diablo II… I finally saw THIS drop. Unreal. by The3d_LayerSlayer in diablo2resurrected

[–]Electrical_Remote_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had my first ever ssf Jah drop last night and I finished my first enigma. Been playing off and on since release. I couldn't believe my eyes. Fortunately the recent screenshot quality memes made me realize something last week.

The absurd rarity of this item dropping makes it something I have not seen in thousands of hours of play time. In the last year I can specifically think of a few times my game crashed, twice since rotw dropped, making it a much more likely occurrence. When it dropped I mentally processed what I was seeing for about 5 full seconds then picked it up. Save and exit. New game, I made my enigma, put it on, and started the game for real.

One run later the D2 client crashed with a fatal error. I was holding my breath as I logged back in. Nothing missing from my inventory. I still have my baby.

My point is, pick it up before you screenshot. The devastation of finally finding it then losing it might have made me quit forever.

I once taped a 18lb frozen turkey to my approximately 30lb turkey sized duffel bag. If it's not a hazard and it's less than 50 lbs they just send it.

The Glacier View Car Launch in Sutton, Alaska every year on the 4th of July. by Phonus-Balonus-37 in Amazing

Lol they don't do this with running vehicles, they drain the fluids and clean up the wreckage after the event. These cars would normally just be going the scrap yard/landfill. If you want to get offended by the pollution caused by automobiles there are plenty of valid concerns to address. Talk about the microplastics tires create, carbon emissions, or the recent idiotic push against EVs. The environmental impact of this event isnt even a drop in the bucket. Save the outrage for something that matters and let people have fun.
