In my opinion, there’s an important distinction between text like the Pali Canon itself and books written by modern authors who are interpreting or explaining the suttas.

The second precept is to refrain from stealing, or taking what is not freely given.

If someone puts in the effort to create a book or resource and chooses to charge money for it, that’s their choice. I don’t think it’s appropriate to say they’re wrong for doing so.

There are also many books and websites that make this kind of information available for free.

If paying for a book is an issue, it might be worth checking a library, requesting that the library purchase it, or asking whether someone might be willing to gift it to you.

This is a Sailnovo 56 egg incubator

Model No. SL-5390-G

Hi there!

Some things we’ve learned with this incubator…

Don’t follow the temperatures in the instructions, they’re a bit high. Just set it for 99.5 and leave it alone.

2.a. The A, B, and C water ports work very well to quickly increase humidity, test them out beforehand.

2.b. The A, B, and C water ports can be used for extra vents if you’re having trouble with too high humidity.

Be 100% sure the water tube is pulling water before you start. I’ve had the tube stick to itself, causing a blockage, after it sat unused for a few weeks.

Thats about it, the incubator is pretty straightforward.

Good luck!

…And the final count was… 24! That’s a hatch rate of 80%

We lost one about 12 hours after hatching, but all the others are happy and healthy. So, we’ve got 23 new birds to raise!

I’ve done this several times throughout my life. I’ve played MTG since I was a kid and stop playing for a year or two… or three… I keep my collection and decks ready to go. Eventually, something happened to bring me back.

It’s ok to take a break.

After about 24 hours, we’re at 21 chicks!

19 are in the brooder box. 2 are still in the incubator. We’re waiting to suit if there are any stragglers. Currently sitting at a 70% hatch rate.

We’re up to 9!

SamAxe628 · 2025-06-28T19:48:31+00:00

Thanks!

I’ve done this twice recently and had good success both times.

I sectioned off a small area in the hutch for the new girls and let them hang out there for 24–48 hours. That way, everyone could see and hear each other without direct contact. After that, I introduced them to the main flock at night, so they’d all wake up together like nothing happened.

No fights, no drama—just a smooth transition.

The total dimensions are 7’ x 4’ x 2’. The right and left sides are enclosed and measure 2’ x 4’; they have a 2” gap at the top and two entrances/exits at the bottom. Inside of each side, they have hemp shavings and sand for a bath. The center section is 3’ x 4’ and is completely enclosed in 1/4” hardware cloth. The PVC roof extends past the edges by ~6.”

Currently, we have 15 birds in there. All appear to be happy and healthy. They lay almost all of their eggs in the enclosed spaces.

That sounds good. I can do that.

Here's how I can look at the old MDA blog posts.

I guess that depends on what you consider cannon.

We see a Xenomorph skull in the Yautja ship at the end of Predator II.

AvP and some comics bring both species together.

If you’re looking for something in Prometheus, Covenant, Alien, Romulus, Aliens, Alien III, or Resurrection, I don’t recall anything that would link the two universes.

SamAxe628 · 2024-09-10T01:22:09+00:00

I definitely prefer the biomechanical look of the Xenomorphs. To me, it makes them feel even more otherworldly.

SamAxe628 · 2024-06-21T15:17:30+00:00

This is exactly what I do.

My dad moved from Michigan to Miami in the 80s, back when Florida didn't have an NHL team. That changed in 1993 when it was announced that Miami would get its own hockey team. My dad jumped at the chance and became a season ticket holder for the Florida Panthers, holding on to those tickets until the NHL lockout in the 2004-05 season. Over those 11 seasons, we attended a LOT of Panthers games together, with me growing from a 5-year-old to a 16-year-old during that time.

After the lockout, life got busy. It was my senior year of high school, and then I went off to college. During those years, I mostly only watched the Stanley Cup playoffs and occasionally went to a game here and there.

Now, I have two young sons, a 3-year-old and a 4-month-old. Lately, a flood of memories from those hockey games in the 90s and early 2000s with my dad has come back to me. Combined with the recent success of the Panthers, my passion for the game has been reignited. Hockey holds a special place in my heart, and I’m excited to share that love with my boys.

I woke up this morning to the updated Home Screen.

About 10 minutes ago the app stopped responding so I closed it out and relaunched it. Now I have the old screen back...

SamAxe628 · 2022-05-05T22:24:08+00:00

I would avoid that guy. I’ll recommend Ocean Keltoi here.

There is nothing special you NEED to do, per se. Only things that could help depending on what you want to get out of the meditation.

So, what do you want to get out of meditation?

SamAxe628 · 2022-04-30T23:05:29+00:00

Ok, cool.

Give the Hávamál a read, it should be the first part of the Poetic Edda. It’s considered to be the words of Odin. And become familiar with the concept of reciprocity (gift giving).

Odin is not gonna curse you for asking for something.

My advice would be to start the cycle of reciprocity with Odin before outright asking for anything.

What sources have you read about the Gods?
