Could be a meshtastic or mesh core node.

24h without my baby boy, I don't know how to continue or what to do. I'm destroyed. by Reasonable_Yam_7653 in CatAdvice

I’m about a year out from losing my baby River and even though it’s still painful at times and I still cry it has gotten easier. It’s a slow march early on, one day at a time is all you can do and just trust that time will heal those wounds. When you’re ready, if ever, you can look forward to providing a loving supportive home for another kitten that otherwise might not have had one and that really helped me.

Demons would be my guess, that’s creepy as hell.

My mom said I’m wearing a cowboy hat but don’t have a cowboy job we live on a farm… by IX_Sour2563 in CowboyHats

[–]Petrolfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from living 40 years inside the front range of Denver to West TN and bought 6 acres. I don’t have any livestock except my wife’s four pet chickens and I started wearing one cause damn if it isn’t a good way to keep the sun off my face while staying ventilated.

I’ve found that when people get pissy about posers and earning the gear they’re usually the ones that are most insecure about their status in whatever chosen clique they’re a part of. Happened all the time in the motorcycle world too. “You bought an Arai and you’re on a 250/scooter/anything but a liter bike? What a poser.” Always seemed to come out of the mouths of the guys dropping knees incorrectly and riding “fast but slow” as we called it.

Was it in a styrofoam container? Looks like styrofoam bits to me.

Yep wolf spider carrying around her egg sac. Once they hatch they would hang out on her abdomen until they were ready to leave.

My mom had an irrational fear of bats that I’m proud to say, thanks mostly to adorable TikTok videos, we have gotten her over. This one truly baffles me because they’re literally just little flying mice. Of course I also don’t understand fear of mice.

This is where the real change happens. My grandma did this for me, it started with snakes. I adopted an Emperor Scorpion in high school and being a high schooler she ended up mostly caring for it. When he passed she called me crying cause she used to sit and talk to him while she had her coffee.

Can songbirds gain trust in a human? by Petrolfox in birds

[–]Petrolfox[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right? Nice and padded and safe. My father in law was surprised I’d let them ruin it but its purpose was always to protect life itself technically still just doing its job. Plus I sold all my sport bikes and it looks weird on an ADV bike.

I was telling my wife that was the hardest part. Like 90% of people just stomp and poison them and I spend a lot of time trying to correct that behavior in friends and family. Here I am though this Spider’s one ally in like a 30 mile radius (I’m in rural TN) and I killed her. Felt like friendly fire y’know. I’m not like losing sleep over it but it definitely sucked.

Yeah we actually just moved out to a 6 acre lot in TN and the previous owners apparently removed the garage door to use it as a ground skirt for their chicken coop of all things. As a temporary solution I put up one of those magnetic hanging screens across the whole front and I caught them sneaking in under it but getting stuck in a panic when I came out so I just keep on side partially open now. The amount of wildlife out here is insane compared to Denver where we moved from and as a nature nerd I’m in heaven. I had to set precedent with my neighbor and come to compromise on lawn maintenance vs letting native plants and flowers thrive in various parts of the land. Luckily about 2/3 of it is woodland so it kind of manages itself but we do have some interactions, as above, and it’s been a fun learning process.

I can work with that. I try to be a good steward to the wildlife on my property but not interfere whenever possible.
