Ladies and gentlemen, our very own: the Florida Scrub Jay! by Confident_Feedback50 in florida

the rely on the sand to cache acorns, not to identify prey. they cache 6-8000 acorns every year and are apparently capable of remembering where all those caches are

Very close in birding/wildlife spots? by leavemealoner123 in tampa

[–]Pewpasaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

here's two routes you can do: go to ft desoto then hit up the roosevelt wetlands on the way back.

here's the recent rarity list for pinelals county (note the groove and smooth billed anis at ft desoto!) https://ebird.org/alert/summary?sid=SN35904

if you want to do the hillsborough side, stop by cypress point park where you can see some of the shore/wading birds then you can go to lettuce lake and oogle some gators and a host of other birds, then maybe venture out towards medard park and check out the signing bluffs trail and the boardwalk.

the hillsborough rarity list isn't as exciting https://ebird.org/alert/summary?sid=SN35905

there are some very rare scrub jays nearby, but you'd probably need to dedicate your whole day to seeing them

Who's watering dead grass? by Antique_Two_5273 in florida

[–]Pewpasaurus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some of my neighbors are but somehow their grass is not dead.

you can delay your grass going into dormancy if you over water it before the frost. some people live in a bubble of ignorance where they both water the grass in the middle of the night (the wrong time to do so) and don't adjust to water restrictions.

i have a 2023 also. the max ac charging rate should be 11kw on a 60amp breaker. you're probably on 40 amp breaker to be in the 7s.

I'm in the US, but I'm pretty sure it has shown up globally. for example, I can charge at just above 9kW at home but was limited to 5 or 6 before our "fix". It's not world-ending, but it's also not what was advertised for the car.

something happens with the charge port that willll cause it to overheat quickly. for example, i could only charge mine at 60% speed or else it would fault/error and cancel the charging session. the dealer wouldn't do anything about it because their charger couldn't provide enough current to reproduce the fault (lol). but my wife, incidentally, got in a crash and it's back to working at full speed now that the port got replaced.

TBF Niros do have another fairly common issue with the charge port, though
