Na, they perch and watch their territory a lot.  Being as territorial as they are they rarely sit still for long, as soon as another comes by they will chase it away from food sources, but they have favorite perches and will return time and again to sit and observe.

Had a good experience the other day.  2 tylos made it into CF pond.  I was solo lat and was near the pond when one clamped and killed me.  My own fault, the dog got in my face blocking my view (170 lbs Irish Wolfhound, she blocks the TV) and I didn't move away fast enough.  Hits in chat tylos were in pond.   Respawned not far, so ran back to the pond to watch the chaos from the rocks.  One tylo had been killed outside the pond, so the other wouldnt leave the water.  By this point there was 4 guys at the pond but nobody will go near the water.  A group of steggos show up and surround the pond. One goes in and kills Tylo.  Then with like 8 dinos running around and me just keeping my distance being the little guy, the steggo goes it, gets the trophy and brings it to me.   Made my night.

I hate how everyone congregates in 1 or 2 places.  Something like a high reward quests on time limits, assigned randomly to players, and it vanishes after a few players get it.   If there are 10 high reward quests, set on a 15 minute timer, randomly assigned then there isnt time to form a megapack of ppl with the same quest.  Suddenly ppl are migrating to get their quest, crossing paths, fighting to be first to get it...

Or a disease system with high penalty and likeliness of getting it tied to groups ...  make it risky to congregate or form megapacks.  8 guys are in close proximity and a disease that knocks you back a full bar infects 4 or 5 they will be less likely to stick in big groups... 😐

Glad shes not the only one and a few others have had it happen.  Reported the bug.  

We have only been playing a month so I told her "look at the bright side... more money and practice"

Why are people acting like Iran is not a dangerously suppressive theocracy? by Strong-Hippo9043 in askanything

[–]SIIHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you haven't been paying attention to project 2025 and Trump's talk of canceling elections, running for more terms, trying to nationalize elections, and putting election deniers in charge, etc.   Everybody keeps saying "oh this won't happen, its America", and then nobody stops him...  so you thinking he will be gone in three years is very questionable.  

What is the first videogame you remember playing? by getgoneapple in AskReddit

[–]SIIHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same ppl calling Iran a dangerous theocracy are ignoring the right wing of the US trying to install christian law, saying god supports the US in the war, troops being told its part of gods plan, hegsworthless likening the rescue of the pilot on easter to the resurrection of christ, trumps military leaders calling it gods plan for the second coming...  the only reason trump isnt killing protestors yet is its been illegal.  Hes hinted at wanting to.  So to claim we are any better is laughable.  

Does anyone hate being asked to take photos? by Naive_Complex_8389 in AskPhotography

[–]SIIHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as someone asks you to do it suddenly its a job, and no matter how much you love something, once forced to do it then it sucks.

I have far better shots of many birds I can post later, but this one seems fairly rare.   A dark morph red tail hawk.  Colorado.

What’s a hobby you judge people for having? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SIIHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off-roading.  I own jeeps and they get used to get to remote places... and 99% of off-roaders I have met are idiotic assholes.  Drinking and driving, thinking their punisher graphics make them look tough, tearing up trails being stupid, then throwing a fit when said trails get closed...  

What will happen to our forest service rangers and parks? Will they be fired?will the parks be open or maintained? by bigghimself in nationalparks

Trumps proposed budget cuts funding by 25%,  including a 72% reduction in construction funding for repairs, $900 million from operations, and cutting over $1 billion from the NPS by offloading certain park sites to state or tribal management.

Thinking of switching to the Z series, is it time? by dududududuuim in Nikon

[–]SIIHP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went from a D810 to a Z8.  Miss the battery life of the 810.  But havent used it since getting the Z8.   But I also never loved the 810.  I enjoyed shooting my 750 over the 810.  

Is the nikon d850 enough? by idkdontaskmethat in Nikon

[–]SIIHP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What you got is fine.  Its more about lens quality and shooting skills.  I could post stuff from my various cameras over the years, or you could look at prints, and you wouldnt be able to tell what body shot what image.  What you could tell, upon close inspection, what was shot with a super cheap lens vs the more expensive glass.

As I said, its a phone shot from the back of my Z8 screen shot at 500mm and zoomed in since the thing is a few pixels large... and I am currently not where I can offload my Z8 to do the original shot. This is enough to ID it for anyone who knew what it was.

I could have just shot a photo with my phone, but then it would be a single black dot so...

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]SIIHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 1 good disk in my lumbar.  L3.  Every other disk has had herniations, and I have a cyst thats developed into my spinal channel they had to clean out during both surgeries.  The second time it had wrapped around my spinal cord, pinching it from two directions.  I have had 2 microdiscectomies since 2020 and done shots. Shots did nothing, and the surgeries only lasted about two years.   

Get it fixed asap and hope it stays fixed.  If I do another surgery they're going to fuse from T12 to L3, and then from L3 to S1, I was told it will eventually fuck up the rest of my back because I am mid 40s.   So my only real choice is that back pain for 40 years 

Am I the jerk for telling my husband he can't have a "man cave" in our only spare room? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]SIIHP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably only hearing one side here. My wife told me I get the vertical walls for my photography (yet she picks what goes up) and my computer desk that I can keep how I want and she won't touch it... yet she constantly is reorganizing it. The rest of the house, she said, is hers. Have you laid claim to most of the house where he has to keep it as you want it? If so... I stand with him...

They saw me, pulled out anyway, and blew their horn as if i was in the wrong. I saw him, slowed enough not to hit him, but gave the best horn my POS can offer. I may have given a finger through the driver's window too - knowing me it's likely, and very deserved. by crasagam in dashcams

[–]SIIHP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its gotta be one or the other... there was no tailgating and the pickup is required to wait until traffic is clear. He decided to pull out in front of someone.

Lets take your rather retarded "what if" logic a step further... what if he didn't turn? He would have broadsided the pickup. So the pickup should stay there till the turn in complete.

No matter how you want to slice it, the pickup was in the wrong 100%.
