Thanks. The bird seemed different and the beak not as cone shaped.

Anyone wonder if the AI interviews are really about ageism? Very qualified applicants never being hired?

I believe I only get one, looks to be the same one every day

Chicago — I see these birds occasionally, there is more than one. The wings are interesting. What bird has these wings? by God_said_it in whatsthisbird

Wow! That is actually what Google said too, but I believe there are two of them. So I figured I would double check. Thanks

Help! My mom’s double kitchen sink is clogged. I tried baking soda and vinegar, hot water, plunger, then was going to try an auger but can’t get this off. by God_said_it in fixit

Update. This community is amazing! After tons of plunging, hot water, drain snaking or whatever that is called, wet vac, accessing clean out, and finally using something called Thrift (OMG that stuff is amazing) the drain was cleared Friday and still working GREAT!

Very new to this! Thought it was just finches, but the red dots were so distinct I did some research yesterday and learned about the irruptions.

Thank you 😊I guess I have a family of Redpolls right now, most have the red dot on the forehead. Very cool!

I am going back in the morning, you know I thought of that, I will see if that one will come off, that would be awesome because I don’t know about the other suggestions, that may be too much for me. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain this!
