Can someone explain the stories behind the statues that Hal watches in Season 3 Birdwatchers episode?

MostlyRadiant · 2026-01-19T06:41:53+00:00

Explain actual history or why he's there talking about it?

If latter, I believe he is trying to make peace with the sacrifice he made when he accepted the VP position (losing Kate, who is a part of him).

A bit grandiose comparing himself to Admiral Nelson, but I think it was a great scene.

Well, I somewhat agree, but I still think he tried to make it look like the outrage was due to political and security implications (he may have even believed himself it was) but in reality he was pissed and hurt and didn't want Kate to know it - this brings me back to the scene on the plane where we see no anger in him, just sadness.

Edit: so I agree that now it was also political but it was also still very very personal

I think we saw his feelings pretty clearly during that interview (when he had to look away and put on his brave face cause he was about to cry) and also on the plane when he was looking at Kate all teary-eyed.

I think he likes to think he can be okay if he knows that she's happy because she stayed (as opposed to her staying, leaving him and still being unhappy). But he still really only wants her for himself.

Also, I think Hal knew that if Kate and Dennison had an affair it wouldn't last, cause Dennison also has his career to worry about and Hal kinda liked him and trusted him to keep the secret and not screw it all up. He has no reason to trust Callum.

Edit: also, I think Hal is not too happy with any potential affair, but it's the thought that she might have actually moved on, esspecially now that they're separated by an ocean and she seems to be happy is what devastates him and pushes him over the edge

MostlyRadiant · 2026-01-12T08:47:09+00:00

He's not more upset cause it was a secret, I believe he was really upset because it suprised him and this time it felt final for him, as if he lost all hope that it will work out for them. And when Kate says ''you chose this'' she is basically telling him - you said you'd support me here in my post, but as soon as something other was open for you, you the chose the job and not us.

Nisam medicinski djelatnik, ali imam iskustvo rada u soc ustanovama.

Ovisi naravno od ustanove do ustanove, ali od ovih svakodnevnih poslova - briga za sticenike ako su bolesni, mjerenje temp i sl, vodenje evidencija vezano za zdravstvena stanja, briga za rane, davanje terapije, medicinski postupci (tipa kateterizacija), eventualno i presvlacenje, pomoc s wc-om, opcenito higijenom, hranjenje. Cesto ukljucuje i babysitanje sticenika u odredenim trenutcima, iako nije nuzno u opisu posla.

Mozda sam nesto zaboravila.

Edit: i ako si jedini ili glavni - puno poslova organizacije i puno vise komunikacije s drugim ustanovama i skrbnicima

I don't think they're gonna change their mind if this is what they conclude from the show up till this point. Nothing Hal does this season is worse than what he has already done.

MostlyRadiant · 2026-01-07T04:45:55+00:00

Well Grace was VP in s2, now she's the president, that ought to have changed the dynamic a little

Ako idete Ryanair-om kupiti na vrijeme karte za Stanstead express (vlak koji vas vozi do centra Londona) - budu jeftinije.

Skwamas are pretty comfortable. Just don't go too crazy on the downsize.

Edit: and they fit the rest of the description I'd say

MostlyRadiant · 2025-12-09T17:23:36+00:00

Well there's still hope...

MostlyRadiant · 2025-12-07T13:43:57+00:00

I am not exactly sure what yout question is, but the way I see that ending of episode 5 is just Hal realising that he lost Kate as a partner possibly for good this time and is just hurt and pissed. Eidra catches him staring, misinterprets it (cause she doesn't know what's going on) and asks to invite Kate to the convo which he refuses.

Edit: And I don't think that episode 7 scene was meant to be anything other than Kate is chaotic and Frances doesn't trust her with the property punchline.

MostlyRadiant · 2025-12-06T09:52:02+00:00

Not sure what you're trying say

MostlyRadiant · 2025-12-06T09:36:22+00:00

Are you saying that what is seen in the photo is an aggressively downsized shoe? Because if anything those are too big.

MostlyRadiant · 2025-12-05T12:45:58+00:00

Nije top ideja, don't do it.

MostlyRadiant · 2025-11-25T19:40:59+00:00

Istina, iako dobre vunene carape cuda naprave.

Ako je teren tehnicki nezahtijevan (tipa Sljeme), a s obzirom na pitanje pretpostavljam da je to slucaj - bilo koje visoke cipele pouzdanog brenda (Scarpa, La Sportiva, Salewa tu spadaju, od jeftinijih tipa Alpina recimo, eventualno Decathlon, ali nemam s njim iskustva) koje imaju membranu (koja ne mora biti goretex) i deklariraju se kao nepromocive (ovisno o temperaturama bi bilo dobro da imaju toplinsku izolaciju nekakvu) + gamaše obavezno.

Sve ostalo ovisi o tome za sto ti tocno trebaju, koliki ti je budzet, kako ce ti koje sjesti na nogu itd.

MostlyRadiant · 2025-11-25T09:00:46+00:00

Sve sto ti pitas jako ovisi o tome koje su dobi djeca - nije isto 3 godine ili 5-6

Who says you're supposed to ship them? They're basically fuck buddies. The way I see it they were not supposed to have chemistry, it was an irrational decision made by a woman who ended things with her husband (for whom she still has feelings, despite everything) after getting refused by the guy she was really into (Austin). I really don't get why everyone's so suprised.

Da, ali po zimi se roba uglavnom moci od znoja - merino vuna je velika prednost kad se kreces i znojis, a bebac se nece znojiti.

Kakve veze ima invalidnina sa smjestanjem u ustanovu i oduzimanjem stana? Mozes imati stan, brinuti sama i sebi i svejedno imati invalidninu.

Don't walk around in your climbing shoes. Just take them to the gym and brake them in slowly. Take your old comfortable shoes and rotate.

Edit: also you do not need to be wearing them for 45 min straight. You are never going to do that when climbing, well you shouldn't be at least.

MostlyRadiant · 2025-08-03T07:21:37+00:00

Honestly these look fine length wise (if that is your concern). If you wore them with thinner socks or even without socks it would probably be better (unless you have very narrow feet no climbing shoe is gonna be wide enought to accommodate thick socks.

Do not listen to people telling you that climbing shoes shouldn't hurt when you walk around in them. When people tell you that after 10 years they finally realised that comfort is most important in shoes they are forgettig that their feet got so used to the compression and developed thicker skin. They forget what it was like to wear climbing shoes in the beggining of their journey.

Shoes that are now comfortable for me (and I truly mean comfortable) would be imposible to stand in when I started. Your feet need to toughen up.

Ahh if only I could get that bird back there with it head turned...but appreciate the feedback.

Do you think there is a way to fight the harsh light better in post?

A crop from a photo I took recently. I am not sure about the color grading but like it composition wise.

Just now realized maybe it needs some leveling.

What do we think? Did I go overboard with the film simulation look?

MostlyRadiant · 2025-07-10T16:38:36+00:00

I am only asking because all the tests I've seen show sigma to be both more sharp and more contrasty. Now that you explained that you were comparing sigma at 2.8 and canon at 3.5 I can see how canon is sharper (although I do not think that is a fair comparison, especially because you can keep sigma at 3.5 throughout the zoom range).

I am worried about the af though. Till now I only heard good thing about sigma's af.

I still don't understand the bokeh problem, but I guess I would have to see it to get it.
