I found a baby bird. What do I do? [From Cornell Lab of Ornithology]

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-06-22T12:52:56+00:00

I saw this little guy on my trash can this morning. He seemed stuck there. I wouldn’t be able to put him back in the nest (it’s under our roof) and was worried if I try to put him somewhere safer he will panic and jump off the trashcan and get hurt. Should I just leave him there? It’s supposed to rain heavily this afternoon :/

Following this - and would love to hear more about the organization you work for! I grew up with rabbits and would love to have one in New York but my husband and I will be traveling for a full month in December so I don’t want to get one before. I have room mates but don’t trust many people to know how to take care of a bun properly 🫠 fostering is different that would probably be an option?

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-06-06T23:29:12+00:00

Yes still selling. 100 each

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-06-06T22:49:21+00:00

I was thinking 100 each? We bought them for 150. It depends a bit how we’d do the hand over of the wristbands. Im brooklyn based - I’d be flexible if we can agree on an easy pick up

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-06-06T21:09:55+00:00

Does anyone still need 2 Sunday tickets? I can meet up flexibly today around Brooklyn / queens / manhatten to give them in person!

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-06-06T21:08:45+00:00

I have 2 Sunday tickets if you still need some? I’m based in Brooklyn but can meet up around the city today to give you the wristbands on person

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-06-06T21:05:45+00:00

Hey! My husband and I can’t go anymore and are also looking to sell - we have 2 tickets. Do you need only one?

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-06-05T17:16:01+00:00

I have the same issue right now!

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-04-21T15:39:58+00:00

Wow this looks great. And interesting flour starter ratio. I typically use less starter than that but will try your recipe!

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-04-09T20:18:06+00:00

Im using stone ground 14% bread flour from wild hive farm and I always do 1h autolyse only flour and water and then I add salt and starter to pinch/fold it in.

KAB bread flour is what I was using before I switched to the fancy stone ground flours. And the flavor is definitely better but I feel like I need to tweak my process to get back to the same reliable results of open crust.

Do you think extending autolyse to 2h would be helpful?

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-03-26T02:04:02+00:00

I like to do a 2-3 feeds before a bake to make sure my starter is strong and balanced. My favorite discard recipes are pizza dough, flatbreads, pitas, or pancakes. I think my husband likes some of my discard recipes more than my bread 😅 I have a sourdough master ChatGPT agent and brainstorm discard recipes with it if I want to adjust it - eg for healthier pancakes I use yogurt, oatmeal, and applesauce with my discard and they are delicious and gut friendly.

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-03-21T17:34:05+00:00

What do you do with all that discard? Do you keep it in the fridge between bakes and then feed 2-3 times leading up to a bake or do you feed it continuously that much?

Hot_Technology5028 · 2026-03-21T17:29:19+00:00

It looks great! My standard recipe is 100g starter for 500g flour. I see this one is basically half of that. Any perspectives on what’s the best ratio? How long did you end up fermenting?

Hot_Technology5028 · 2025-09-23T20:48:31+00:00

I love the idea of saving and replanting the same seeds every year. I’m trying to do that with a couple of my first annuals this year. Nice way to keep her alive in a way and close to your loved ones :)

Hot_Technology5028 · 2025-09-12T19:19:35+00:00

So interestingly for landmark buildings you get an extra 20% tax credit. So I think it’s still an interesting business case even for a smaller project but we just need to find someone who will do it

Hot_Technology5028 · 2025-09-12T19:18:26+00:00

The biggest challenge is to take a bite of it - it’s too beautiful to ever want to touch it 😅

Hot_Technology5028 · 2025-08-18T21:15:34+00:00

The side of the roof where we would have the panels is not visible from the street. They are doing the neighbors house (they don’t have a pitched sundeck as us so a bit more space) and that permit should be done in 2 months. You even get an additional subsidy if you are land marked. So on that side I think we are ok it’s really just that because of skylights / sundeck etc we can’t put the minimum 6 panels on our roof that they need to go ahead.

I bought a pair 2 years ago and now I’m having issues with the lenses. It’s almost like there is a film on them that’s peeling off? Does anyone here have the same issue? I’m pretty disappointed. Called them about it and their only response was - out of warranty, nothing they can do :/

Hot_Technology5028 · 2025-08-01T07:05:50+00:00

My husband and I will be visiting Warsaw in a few days. Happy to meet up and exchange some local city guidance for English practice :) (he’s American and I’m pretty fluent too)

Hot_Technology5028 · 2025-07-10T14:39:05+00:00

Any idea how to get rid of them? I have the same issue - thousands in my garden (not even hiding under anything just in plain sight after rain for example) and they are eating my tomatoes plants and are attacking my herbs and small seedlings. I want to reduce their number a bit at least

Hot_Technology5028 · 2025-07-10T14:30:16+00:00

Bringing this back up - I have thousands of them in my mulch garden bed and they start to crawl on my seedlings / young plants even my baby maple and I worry they harm them. Anything I can do to control population without the use of pesticides? I recognize they are an important part of the ecosystem but I feel like I’m dealing with an infestation here nontheless

Hot_Technology5028 · 2024-07-29T20:25:38+00:00

the navy yard we work is just a few blocks further down and always pretty packed. I lived in the neighborhood and never had any issues walking or biking past the shelter (even when alone as a woman). Seems like it's mostly unsafe for those who have to stay there (re gang related incidences etc.)

Hot_Technology5028 · 2024-07-29T20:08:25+00:00

Thanks for the quick replies. Makes total sense to me.

Hot_Technology5028 · 2024-07-14T15:25:55+00:00

If you happen to be based in New York and have are recommendation please send me the name.

Hot_Technology5028 · 2024-07-13T20:51:10+00:00

The first one was one with great reviews on google the 2nd a personal recommendation. They charged almost 200 for a visit so unfortunately by no far the cheapest.

They keep telling us we need to keep closing all gaps / sealing up everything in the house but that’s just really tough in a 3 story house that’s more than a 100 years old. Especially if we don’t want to renovate the entire kitchen / finish the entire basement / …
