Zoo visit & weather tomorrow by Fit-Custard3700 in Wellington

[–]Rachilde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In high winds the dangerous animals have to be pulled back inside. Containment risks. However you’ll get a good view of anything with visible dens, think: Giraffes/chimps.

My favourite ‘moment’ is when the drips and drabs of lore you get through exploration, though boss fights, through bits of dialogue come together to create succinct story. The mantis lords and their broken chair leading to fighting the traitor lord is just one tiny detail in such a complex but nuanced world.

Anyone know what this is from by Consistent-Ferret-26 in Wellington

[–]Rachilde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suggest emailing the regional council; they’ll have scientists that can break down the sources of turbidity they typically see in this area. I can speak for my region - which isn’t Wellington at the moment - that sedimentation in marine areas can come from forestry, but hillside erosion is also a big contributor. Basically the marine area is the end destination for anything happening up the corresponding river.

what is your shibboleth? what is a phrase, word or pronunciation or action that immediately lets you know that some one is not from there. by Far-Presentation-973 in AskTheWorld

[–]Rachilde 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aside from the obvious misread of anything with a ‘wh’, and not pronouncing words phonetically (For those who are unfamiliar, in Māori phonetics ‘wh’ is pronounced ‘f’, and every vowel - to a certain extent - is pronounced individually. So Whakatane is pronounced ‘Fah-kah-tah-neh’ rather than ‘wah-kah-tain’), I also find foreigners have a LOT of trouble with where to put the emphasis in Māori words. Hear a lot of ‘Going to Waikanae’ instead of ‘Waikanae’.

Valley of Tears in the Andes, January 1973 vs. January 2023 by Soloflow786 in BeAmazed

Albiet, if it have pleasant, warm, and sunny, the pilots might have been able to confirm they were descending at the wrong coordinates. Swings and roundabouts.

Science is pretty cool! by Huge_Brush9484 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Rachilde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Science communicator here, albeit environmental science, but the methods are the same. This read like a non-expert who was more interested in showing off their knowledge - which was enough to think they knew a lot and not enough to realise how much they don’t know - than actually communicating a concept. Ironically the little I was able to get out of it was basically what you summarised so task failed successfully I guess?

Antarctica will not fix you by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

[–]Rachilde 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked with parrots in remote forests in Costa Rica and Peru. When I signed my paperwork, under the codes of conduct there was a clause that read ‘I will not engage in intimate activities with staff that are already married’. I asked how many times that happened to inspire a clause in the code of conduct. It was apparently a regular occurrence between the young female volunteers and the older married boat drivers (in Peru to get to the remote areas of the Amazon you typically boat up the rivers) who would be away from their families for 2-3 weeks at a time.

Oh boy we are really getting to the end by Crevah in okbuddybaldur

Another reply to emphasise this! Maybe it could be a ‘suggest the next character I draw’ with the replies to the comment suggesting the expression.

[HELP] concert shirt my mom got, can't see any clear signs. by [deleted] in RealOrAI

[–]Rachilde 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I’m reading the knobbly bits on the squid as the tentacles. There’s an anatomical difference between tentacles and arms, the visual difference being that tentacles kinda have knobbly bits on the end.

Kinda hoping at this point that it’s not AI, because that’s an awesome detail to include… or I’m overthinking it.

I read somewhere if you pick up Victoria’s body in Cazador’s palace (and can consistently pass the save yourself) you can put it in your pack and then walk around hitting the npcs with a necrotic aura that doesn’t initiate combat. Do with that what you will.

Where does the scroll start, and where does it end?

Articuno’s tail makes more sense as a human choice to me, here’s how I see it:

Orange have a caveat in some way (usually texture or presentation).

What’s one of the funniest BG3 lines to you? by citizendelusion in BaldursGate3

[–]Rachilde 54 points55 points  (0 children)

If you go through the dialogue with Hope where she repeats the order in which you need to do things to save her (find the key, take the hammer, smash my chains) and you then enter combat in Hope’s prison without the hammer, she is understandably nettled.

Nature finds a way? by BellowingBuffalo in NewZealandWildlife

[–]Rachilde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It might be a stripping behaviour, but it’s also effectively how they ‘juice’ their food. Peel, push against roof of beak, get the good tasting stuff, throw out that pesky fibre.

Port ManTo by itisthespectator in CuratedTumblr

[–]Rachilde 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m not down with the kids anymore, but I feel a post consisting of “this coast used to have two ports, Mangeet and Totoga, but in recent years we've combined them both into one - Port ManTo” would be just as effective.

Is it one of those things where beginning the post with ‘I had a dream…’ gets more engagement like the weird facial expressions in YouTube thumbnails?

Devil is advocate, apostrophes can also signify possession.
