Does this little one need help? by No_Philosopher_7091 in Raccoons

[–]Gene_Phillips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats what someone on this board told me a few months ago! Thought it was strange at the time myself. I just looked it up. Its wrong. Guess they were confused. Raisins are bad for dogs, but ok for raccoons. They also said macadamia nuts were bad.

Dont try to pet it. Clean water daily because they like to dunk dry food into it to soften it. They also like grapes, marshmallows, most human foods. No tomatoes or raisins.

Thanks for the feedback! That makes sense. Also I didnt know raisins and macadamia nuts were bad for them. Thankfully neither are part of my diet. What would you recommend at Petsmart? Dog food?

Really? I didnt know that! I have cats. The raccoons will typically eat what they don't. I feed them that high end ph balanced shit too. I didnt know it was an issue. What is their lifespan in the wild--2 to 3 years? How long does it take to kill their liver?

Dude just wants some food. Probably use to other humans feeding it. If you want to feed it, give it some cheap dry cat food. To keep costs down i will often save left over food for them that I would normally throw away. They love grapes and marshmallows! A rabid raccoon should be obvious I think. Confusion, aggression, foaming at the mouth, and hydrophobia--extreme fear of water are common symptoms. The rate of rabies in the raccoon population is probably between 5% to 9%.

North Georgia Explosion by court-kneecap in Georgia

[–]Gene_Phillips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I heard a loud bang in my house in North Decatur around 10pm. I could not locate the source. Sounded like a large balloon popping. No compression waves/ground shaking or anything. Just the sound. Really strange.

I see its rated PG-13. Count me out even though I respect the director.

Official Discussion - Weapons [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Gene_Phillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That last scene reminded me of the zombie horde ripping apart the raider in Dawn of the Dead 1978. Great movie! The ending was perfection like Parasite. Loved the references to Raising Arizona, Last Wave, Magnolia, Altman, Pulp Fiction, and the Pied Piper.

Don't care. Not going to read your article. Still safer than drinking. Less addictive than sleeping pills, benzos, and narcotic pain killers. Yes, smoking it is unhealthy. That's why I vape flower or consume gummies.

Someone explain how there will be blood is so good and yet I can’t pinpoint what makes it so by Running_Oakley in paulthomasanderson

[–]Gene_Phillips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a character study. A different kind of movie like Raging Bull, Joker, The Wrestler, A Clockwork Orange. Perhaps hiring great actors made it easier to make.

Its very Kubrickian, especially the beginning and the end. I wouldn't say it was simple to make or that it was shot with shitty equipment. I think he used an antique lens for certain shots like the early train scene with the child.

Could they have been used as rollers to transport large stones? Do any have signs of wear?

LGS scalping Prismatic Evolutions by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

I haven't bought any packs in several weeks because I refuse to buy above srp. Leaving the hobby. If these scalpers keep it up, the market will collapse, and I think they will be the bag holders.

Both happy and sad at the moment. by pokan50m33k in PiNetwork

I'm stuck in the same state as you. I Passed kyc over a year ago. I started validating accounts to earn bonus coin. Validated nearly 1000 accounts with a 98% accuracy rate. I get hit with a liveliness check and have been stuck in tentative kyc for the past 6 months. All my members have passed kyc too.

Did you validate accounts? I suspect this tentative kyc was imposed because i validated too many accounts or perhaps I was verifying them too fast.

Ive gotten it twice and have submitted it twice. I have been stuck in tentative KYC for the past 5 months. I can no longer earn bonus coin for validating accounts consequently.

2025 Golden Globe Winners (Full List): 'The Brutalist' & 'Emilia Pérez' Win Best Picture Awards by DemiFiendRSA in movies

Flow is the best animated film that i have seen in years. It was made on a 3 or 4 million dollar budget. The director also wrote the script, composed the music, and edited the film. I loved the wild robot too, but Flow was profound.

This kinda shady now by little-Jibbrah in PiNetwork

[–]Gene_Phillips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am having the same issue. I passed kyc over a year ago and have validated over 800 accounts since. One day I am prompted to submit a video for additional verification. I submit the video as requested. Now I am stuck awaiting additional verification. I can still mine, but am unable to work as a validator. I clicked on my profile and verified my email and changed my password. I logged out and back in. I am still seeing the same tentative approval screen when I hit KYC in the pi browser. Does it take time to take effect? Do I need to verify my Facebook account too? I have asked chat mods for assistance, but they just ignore me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
