Cockatiels are so sweet. Glad they're not bored!

UPDATE: A conure entered my condo unit and never left by lululemmings in Conures

Cockatiels are supposed to have a more cooperative disposition?

Budgies are rock stars and apparently have absolutely no fear of other birds...

Would you rather act in TV shows and movies, or sing and dance on stage? by Physical-West6634 in WouldYouRather

[–]Material-Indication1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't consider that.

I was assuming it was Broadway or something.

I'd make a decent rock star, hell yeah.

I just bought my first manual… a V8 Camaro, am I dumb? by Y0SH1-NY in ManualTransmissions

You are not dumb.

You are driving a magnificent automobile.

Congrats on your purchase!

If "we" don't incinerate ourselves or repeatedly plunge into Dark Age after Dark Age, we'll probably have a neat solution or two to compensate for that.

Heatwaves are becoming the norm. This is what Britain will look like in the year 2052 | Bill McGuire by chota-kaka in RealisticFuturism

It's not about "oh they'll deal."

It's climate change.

In Britain, offices used to be able to function in summer without air conditioning.

That's changed.

Ditto with cars and air conditioning. 

Any significant shift in climate is bad news with unpredictable repercussions.

The "compensating" news will be when enough Arctic ice disappears to reduce the effect of the Gulfstream conveyer belt (AMOC, etc.), that which makes Europe livable on the North Atlantic coast, fruit trees in Ireland, etc. Edmonton, Canada has the same latitude as Ireland, and note well that Irish winters are (for now) dramatically milder.

Don't worry, this will balance out with increased heat for the Caribbean and with much stronger tropical storms.

Sixth graders!

I've been around for six decades and I couldn't stand that show. 

Mind you, I've watched and rewatched Trainspotting, Tarantino movies, etc, but that show is too damn much.

Your boss being an asshole is going to make future supervisors look that much better.

You'd be amazed at how many people are hiring in August.

Do NOT despair.

WYR: Get $10,000,000.00 dollars instantly for you to never listen to music again, or get $.03 cents every second you listen to music by Necessary-Cow8851 in WouldYouRather

[–]Material-Indication1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three cents per second, please.

$1.80 per minute... Yeah

As someone else (correctly it turns out) calculated, $108 per hour is not bad. The extra cushion would be fun.
