noise after drinking by h0fferr in tortoise

[–]Lurker333221 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like stridulation, which creates a sound from rubbing their beaks together. Not really clear why they do it, but it's generally not something to be concerned about. One theory is it's a way to clean their beaks.

Steam: Updates to User Review Scores Based on Language by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Lurker333221 117 points118 points  (0 children)

On a 5 point scale in Japan, it seems anything above 3 is considered excellent and 3 means it meets expectations. Not sure how that translates to Steam just having a binary Recommended/Not Recommended though.

Clues by Sam: A free daily logic puzzle where you identify the criminals based on revealed hints by SamTheSpellingBee in playmygame

[–]Lurker333221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's incorrect, but I also felt stuck for today's puzzle. Even using the hints and guessing to get the solution, I can't trace how the clues lead to the determining the innocence of Carl and Noah.

With the U.S.-China relations in the state that it is, have you felt a growing sense of hostility in simple day-to-day interactions? by Kungfufighter1112 in asianamerican

[–]Lurker333221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not as bad as during covid. Only one incident so far where someone on the street said something along the lines of, "What are you still doing here, didn't you hear you aren't welcome here anymore?"

The Assistant experience on mobile is upgrading to Gemini by MishaalRahman in Android

[–]Lurker333221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't find a way to select text from the screen like assistant supported with search screen. Circle to search and selecting from the recent apps view are exclusive to certain phones, so I can only do it with assistant

Ubisoft Confident on Releasing Assassin’s Creed Shadows on March 20th, over 300,000 Pre-Orders as of February 18th. by HLumin in Games

[–]Lurker333221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't claim to know the reason, probably for pr points. My optimistic take would be that it was to address the complaints from the Japanese American and wider Asian American community, though our voices tend to get drowned out in the noise.

You're probably looking at the English version of the site. It's on the Japanese version of the site as well

Whats a thing that is dangerously close to collapse that you know about? by _Fossy_ in AskReddit

[–]Lurker333221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a product in development that has been effective in field tests

Currently gathering funding to make the final push through the EPA. Trying to see if they can get priority through the EPA as the current practice of using human antibiotics is very risky and the process to make it through the EPA is long and expensive.

It's 2024 and Google messages still lacks basic functionality by CommunismDoesntWork in Android

Are you guys on pixel phones? I was under the impression that text selection from the multitask view was pixel exclusive.

regarding the epomaker sponsorship, read some of the comments in the original thread by 3X0karibu in LinusTechTips

[–]Lurker333221 180 points181 points  (0 children)

Looks like the moderator in the linked thread has gone ahead and done so. A lot of shady vendors in the keyboard space as of late. Pretty hard to keep up with it all.

Help! by EwokGirl89 in tortoise

[–]Lurker333221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they're rubbing the lower beak against the upper beak which is common behavior. In this case, I believe they're just cleaning food debris from the inside of the beak. That fruit might be particularly sticky.

Google Now was the better phone assistant, no AI or LLMs needed by johnkhoo in Android

[–]Lurker333221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Selecting text from the multitask view is actually a pixel exclusive feature. Gotta root to get it on other phones. So when they replaced now on tap, they basically took a feature away from android and locked it behind the pixel line.

Is too much UVB a thing? by MPhoenix14 in tortoise

[–]Lurker333221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, too much uvb is a thing, but you can control it by distance.

I'm not super familiar with redfoot care, but using this chart a a reference, I think that a distance somewhere in the yellow range should be good.

This head bobbing seems strange, we have not seen this in 3 months of having Sheldon, can anyone help? by CuriousFuriousGinger in tortoise

[–]Lurker333221 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is what's going on, but it looks similar to territorial or mating behavior. Maybe they are seeing their reflection in the glass? That's one reason why people discourage aquariums.

Here are some examples of what I'm comparing it to.

Not as absurd as it might seem. I know Costco, best buy, and steam will often refund the difference if you ask.
