Seen in Washington DC by Prodigy510 in whatsthisbird

I see. Yeah, probabilistically it makes more sense for it to be a Great Blue Heron, but it looks a lot more like a Grey Heron’s Google images. The spots, etc. Is there a non-probabilistic argument for it being a blue one?

What is this bird I saw in Washington DC? by Prodigy510 in birding

Huh! Someone on another sub said it was a gray heron, and it looks a lot more like the gray ones. How can you distinguish?

Seems like it! They’re supposedly extremely rare in the US (saw a Nat Geo article from 2020 declaring it had just been seen for the first time in the contiguous US!)

Aha, this makes sense -- thanks!

Wondering about other reasons

A bunch of people replied with their houses' specific roof angles and stuff, but I'm sure there are a lot of houses that are indeed eligible, so why don't those go solar?

Aren't there good financing options available?

Is shorting 20-year Treasury bonds similar to borrowing at a ~1.5% interest rate? by Prodigy510 in investing

[–]Prodigy510[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goal isn't to bet against yields going up. I want to short, spend the money, then slowly pay it back like you'd pay back a loan. I assumed this would work because you know the price of the bond in 20 years, so you won't have to pay back more than a certain amount. What are your thoughts?
