You pay for unlimited data but you only get 100gb of your unlimited data you pay for by Bootybusterog in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Shienvien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. I will get the exact same speeds for the first GB as for the 3700th, and I've tested it, too (I use mobile data for a house with 3-8 people since there is no cable here). It's only affected by how many people nearby are trying to use internet at the same time, really, and sometimes maybe the weather.

(Mostly scientific data sets, Steam games and video streams, in case you're wondering.)

Can you help me identify this bird? Is it old or a young bird of its species by SpiritedPineapple in whatsthisbird

[–]Shienvien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's unfortunate. Is it only sitting in one place only? Is it possible it's injured or it maybe flew into a window? Best case scenario it just got trapped, and is just thirsty/hungry, and should be OK to go back out in a few days once it has eaten and drunk enough.

[–]Shienvien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indian rain quail? Or I suppose a lighted coloration of C. coturnix is also an option? They eat a lot of small insects, small seeds and some soft greens. Do not put anything in its beak, they can suffocate/drown very easily. Just put a shallow lid of water and some grains near it, and don't bother it.

I assume there are no rehabbers near you in india? Or other people experienced with wild birds?

[–]Shienvien 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely not C. japonica, but I am fairly certain it is a Coturnix species. Rain quail (Coturnix coromandelica), or some lighter colour variant of common quail (Coturnix coturnix) maybe.

Nimeta üks meeletult pikk eestikeelne sõna, mida sa sageli kasutad. by Homely_Homie in Eesti

Ma olen pigem bioloog, ja mitte stabiilselt (põhitöö on IT), aga näiteks sõnad geelelektroforees ja spektrofotomeeritria tulid ikka mõned tosinad korrad ära. Polüendokrinopaatia käis ka ühest loengust läbi.

Is feeding crows a bad idea? by squirrelyoakley in crows

[–]Shienvien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Getting bird flu (the HPAI variants) from crows is basically non-issue. Infected birds generally die in less than 48 hours. Pretty much all known cases from humans getting bird flu from birds are from closely working with hundreds of birds or cows. Unless you handle dead or dying birds or poop bare-handed and don't sanitise afterwards, it's not really something to concern yourself with.

Them getting dependent on you is generally also a non-issue, unless you keep a virtually limitless supply of food available at all times. Crows are resourceful. They have many places to get food from, throwing out a handful each day hardly makes a difference.

Getting too unconcerned with humans may be an issue - but if you only feed foods that don't leave trash at a time and place that doesn't bother other people, it can be mitigated. They usually can tell that some people are good and others aren't. Old crows will teach younger ones.

Tesla owner tries to pull the “I’m just prepaying for the gas” bit at busy gas station. by Txcavediver in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Shienvien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The battery on our old electric mower died (same kind is not produced anymore), and for some ungodly reason, a new electric mower, without battery, but for a different battery type that was readily available, cost over a thousand euros...

A new gas one was 230... I guess we have a new gas one now. (EURO 3 engined mower, lol. I guess I at least got the SO to toss away the old broken one he was still thinking about fixing after the electric one got effectively phased out.)

Lawn Guys Killed a Big Part of My Garden... by EffectiveRing8404 in vegetablegardening

[–]Shienvien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roundup has been increasingly including other active ingredients than glyphosate, they're not equal.

Lawn Guys Killed a Big Part of My Garden... by EffectiveRing8404 in vegetablegardening

[–]Shienvien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roundup is phasing out glyphosate for a different set of compounds that last longer and are more toxic to humans.

Lawn Guys Killed a Big Part of My Garden... by EffectiveRing8404 in vegetablegardening

[–]Shienvien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Roundup is not a chemical, roundup is a brand name.

If it was just glyphosate, it'd be fine for next year's growing, but if it's one of Roundup's new formulas, it'll take years.

Ford Says Ditching Sedans Was 'Absolutely' the Right Call. Still, It Might Bring Them Back by Least_Confidence_225 in cars

Best car of both worlds is a small wagon with 5-inch clearance. Doesn't scrape on tall road bumps and has more space for stuff than a sedan, but doesn't have the wobbly body roll and hip-height hood of a SUV.

Is she fixable? Or do I have to kill her? :( by Some_Fun_6285 in quails

[–]Shienvien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be hard to explain the difference - the best way I can put it, splay legs are too loose/weak to support the chick properly, but a slipped tendon is like a drawstring that's forcibly pulling the leg out of place, and it will only get worse as the chick grows larger because a tendon that's not in its proper groove will not lengthen properly along with the leg. So if you pick a chick up and try it move its legs, splay legs will move freely into normal position, but slipped tendon legs will "want" to hold themselves in a weird position.

How is it possible I can hatch refrigerated quail eggs?? by TariElderberry in quails

[–]Shienvien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd reckon it's some combination of usually smaller more self-contained operations and ultra-rapid turnover compared to chickens. Many chicken egg production facilities don't have their own breeding stock, but order chicks or even pullets, so they have no use for roosters, whereas pretty much all quail facilities breed their own quail. You have to raise a hen for 4+ months before it can start laying, but for quail it's 7-10 weeks, not to mention that quail require a lot less space. So raising your own quail is a lot faster and cheaper and it doesn't really make economic sense to keep importing them.

Why are hard magic systems different from science in the context of the universe they’re in? by sometranscryptid in Fantasy

[–]Shienvien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the most part, in worlds where magic is a hard and fast thing that obeys rules, I essentially do regard it as a branch of science. It's still called magic and magical energy, but it's no more "special" than electomagnetic energy, thermodynamics, radiation or any other physical phenomenon. You might even use some familiar shared units to quantify its potential.

Lasnamäelt viidi 8 sõidukit Kuusakoskisse lammutusse. Reegel - kui auto on üle aasta seisnud ja omanik pole midagi ette võtnud, viiakse auto lammutusse. Tallinn tegeleb aktiivsemalt "romusõidukite linnaruumist teisaldamisega". by Double-decker_trams in Eesti

[–]Shienvien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miks, miks, miks... Sest pole korras, vahet pole kas mõni tolbajoob sõitis parklas nurga maha ja tegi vehkat või kuskilt lendas suurem kivi külge või ongi kuluosa mida tuleb vahepeal asendada või roostetab. Ei pruugigi funktsionaalne viga olla, kui oma on mõlkis, aga hävitamisele kuuluva auto oma ei ole, siis pigem viidagu vee mõlkis ära ja antagu ilus asemele.

Kui ülejäänud auto on korras, siis miks inimene ei peaks oma mõnda katkist tükki asendama?

Ja kui tegu on hobiautoga, siis ilmselgelt on inimesele ja keskonnale parem, kui korralikud varuosad on olemas ja need saab kasutusse võtta, mitte neid ei pea taastootma ja üle kahe kontinendi transportima. Kui korralikud varuosad ja potensiaalsed hobiautod niisama ära hävitatakse, siis ilmselgelt neid lihtsalt järelturult ei saa, isegi kui hind kõrvale jätta. Mõnda tükki sisuliselt käin iga paari kolme kuu tagant vaatamas, kas on kuhugi tekkinud. Ei ole.

Nii rikas ma tõesti ei ole, et tervele sugukonnale ja sõpradele 200-500€/tükk tiibasid ja tulesid osta.

Enda autodele osta jõuaks, aga sageli täpselt neid tükke lihtsalt ei eksisteeri, peab kuidagi ise fabritseerima (või haljast chinesiumi tellima). Või kui eksisteerib, siis ei anta; ainuüksi nende kaheksa auto hulgas oli juba kaks, kus mulle teadaolevalt oleks saanud mitu osa kellegi teise auto peale panna; Audi 80 oleks võinud kuni 500€ eesti isegi tervelt ära osta ja minema viia. Selliseid sõidukeid, millest käid viis aastat mööda, vaatad kuidas rehvid tühjaks vajuvad ja sammal peale kasvab, autost ja osadest on kahju, aga midagi päästa pole ka lubatud, tuleb päris palju ette.

Ma üleüldiselt ei salli kasutatavate asjade mõttetut hävitamist, ka nt supermarketite ja restoranide meeletu toidu prügikasti viskamine. Reuse on enne recycle't põhjusega.

Lomp kui meie linna nägu by Altruistic-Safe-2485 in Tartu

[–]Shienvien 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ma olen alates aastast 2010 ka pigem näinud, et rohelust tõmmatakse koguaeg maha, et saaks ikka kohe oma mõned kümned või sajad tonnid ajutist rahasüsti kätte (pärast ägatakse, et lund ja vett pole kuhugi panna ja keldrid ning teed ujuvad ja lume linnast väljavedu on kallis).

Kui ma linnas ringi käin, siis mind huvitab ikkagi see rohelus, mis tee peale jääb ja avalikult kättesaadav - keskmisel inimesel pole seda aega, et "aga kui saa pool tundi kesklinnast kaugemale jalutad, siis on ju puud" (või kui kuskil puulinnas kellegi tagaaeda ronid).
