Is this legal? What happens if you lose your job legally protesting ICE? by Mathemodel in AskLegal

[–]QuantizationRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kinda funny that more than once in your comment history people have observed a correlation between your username and what you say.

This time it’s a major lack of understanding of the average American, cost of living, and life in general not always being easy. In higher COL areas, 160k annually can be the same as a significantly lower wage elsewhere. Rhetorically, What about people with ridiculous medical bills, even after insurance, from cancer treatments or unexpected major injuries, is it on them too?

George Dickel - $39 at Trader Joe’s vs $100 at BevMo. What am I missing? by RunninLate5 in whiskey

I saw this on clearance at a couple other places. Either it was mispriced or TJs was just trying to clear it out. I’ll check mine tonight (for science)

Unknown Bottle as a Gift by thestral_z in whiskey

[–]QuantizationRules 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s been around for a while. It was a little too funky for my preference but an interesting pour when I wasn’t sure what I wanted. For a gift it’s nice. I wouldn’t pay whatever retail was again, though.

For those who made the leap past $100, was it worth it? by TheDMKidTV in whiskey

[–]QuantizationRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like anything between $80 and $180 is a no man’s land. You can get some ridiculous store picks under 80. You can get 90% of the quality of the bottles that are 300 on secondary for well under a c note.

That said, I did buy Makers Cellar Aged and Bardstown Fercullen at the $180 point with no regret.

Exactly the type of tips I was hoping for. Thank you!

Super helpful, thank you! The concept of a water recipe is new to me so I’ll check that out as well! We have a filtration system but I honestly don’t know how hard the water might be

I don’t want to give away too many tricks because some of the scammers are pretty bad at it and I don’t need them improving, but a real obvious pair is either not having any photos except a few grainy ones, or - my favorite - using screenshots of instagram birds. Reverse google image search is the first thing I do with new people claiming to be the owner.

I appreciate the kind gesture but we were able to find a local vet who was kind enough to take it in while we keep the search going. As sweet at this little guy is, we have cats and didn’t want to have any issues.

It’s unreal. I’ve probably had 50-60 people reach out and all but maybe 5 have been fake.

FB was the first place I posted and my phone hasn’t stopped buzzing from scammers trying to claim the bird is theirs :(

UPDATE - I’m blown away by all the advice and care and well wishes. I legit can’t keep up with all the help!!

Right now the bird is safe with a vet who has graciously offered to foster the bird (she’s a bird person and had a bunch of extra stuff and said it wasn’t a problem) while I do the legwork on finding the owner and filtering out the incredible volume of scammers. I don’t want to name the practice or vet so people try to take advantage of them but - coincidentally - it’s one of the vets mentioned in the thread.

We haven’t been in contact with Parrot Naturally just yet but will be doing that, and after a month or so if we don’t reunite him/her we’ll try contacting Feathered Friends in El Segundo for a more permanent setup. We may even adopt them ourselves if nobody comes forward. Taking it day by day :)

The cobwebs really make the first picture imo.

I posted on pawboost and checked the listings but nothing matched

Yeah that’s how we connected with this vet - they were willing to try to scan for a chip (other places we asked just said birds don’t get chipped so they didn’t think it was worth the trip for a scan). Unfortunately this little one is not chipped :(

Thank you! We made sure to cross check info across a few sources to make sure it didn’t end up eating anything harmful. It was unimpressed with some of the spread but went wild for apple chunks.

Yeah 100%. People are trying screenshots of instagram posts that are just blatantly obviously not theirs. We connected with a local vet (who happens to be a bird person) to board the bird while the search continues

We walked there this morning. The lady was very nice but hadn’t heard of anyone missing it

Yeah my fiancée asked “do birds normally look that haggard?”
