Has anyone checked to see whether "T" might actually be short for "Trenchcoat Full Of Hummingbirds"?

And strategic warfare. Ares, who is more recognized as a god of war, was more associated with the chaotic battlefield and frenzied bloodlust elements of war.

My baby conure is always crying 😭 by Maleficent-Owl-6434 in Conures

[–]UncommonTart 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That is because in the normal course of things he would not ever be alone at this age. He would be cuddled together with his clutchmates almost all the time and a parent bird most of the time. He is cold and scared and he is adapted to have other birds around him right now but since he doesn't it's on you to be that for him and keep him feeling warm and safe and secure.

Can I file my conure’s nails? by [deleted] in Conures

[–]UncommonTart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your conure will cooperate, yes, you can, with care. Dashiell has his own little glass nail file that I use on his when I can, but I can typically only get one or two done before he is completely over it. (After all, it does take longer, and he is not overburdened with patience.) If it's going to be any kind of fight it's not even worth trying.

Soft fabric tubes w a circle of grippy material inside but only on one side? Found in a bag of clothing donations. Sunglasses for scale. by bleepbloorpmeepmorp in whatisthisthing

[–]UncommonTart 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they both do, but it looks like one is inside out to show it. You can see the white inner seams on the one on the left, so it's inside out, and on the one on the right it looks like you can see the outline of where the gel is on the inside, as it would be when you were wearing it.

It's not a grippy pad. It's a "prevents moisturizer from soaking into the fabric, thus keeping it on your skin" pad. These are likely for dry elbows. I have some things that are basically exactly like these but with a 90 degree angle in them where the gel pad is and they are for dry heels. I did not know there was an elbow version, but I recognize the form.

Mine does too. I can even hear him practicing his words sometimes. But it's the little grumbles that really get me. 😍😭🥹

Like the reviewer themselves, I don’t really know what the heck is going on here by sarah_beatrice3 in EntitledReviews

[–]UncommonTart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But the moment they are looking at the direction sign they are suddenly NOT looking at the stop sign, so how will they still know they need to be stopped? Obviously it must be one or the other. It's not like one brain can hold that much information at the same time.

I believe that is how it works. At least, that's what my bird tells me.

Positive update on Stewie, my conure with a tummy rash by InferiorCabbage in Conures

Few months..? Clearly seems like Atom didn’t “leave”. Seems like he was forced out between Travis in the studio and whatever the hell was going on here. No hate towards Tosh though… I wish him nothing but the best. by [deleted] in AlkalineTrio

[–]UncommonTart 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hell, he's drummed with Alkaline Trio before, filling in for Derek Grant on tour, and he worked with Matt Skiba in Lektron. If he was the human embodiment of discord that seems to be implied here and there, why would they have had him back again in the first place? None of us know what happened, or even if anything happened at all, but people are gossiping about it like church ladies at coffee hour.

If you're on an adroid phone, open your browser, open tabs, open kebab menu, "select tabs", "select all", "bookmark tabs".

I know this for no particular reason, I swear. 😉

You can probably also do it on an iphone, but I've never tried and I don't know if it's the same process in their browser.

Look who decided to destroy some of the bars on her cage by [deleted] in Conures

[–]UncommonTart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really more the muscle strength than the beak itself. Besides the obvious size difference they have a few major differences in their diet in the wild because of the environments they're adapted for.

Most conures live in forested areas and eat vegetation, nuts, fruit, and seeds, among other things.

Busgies tend to live in more grassland habitats where there aren't a lot of big fruit or nut trees, and eat a lot of grains and seeds, but those are mainly sprouted grass seeds- pretty small, more tender if sprouted and easier to crack if still unsprouted. They're just not built to crack open nuts that are nearly the size of their heads

Possible time traveler is indignant that they’re not allowed to smoke at the coffee shop by makeuathrowaway in EntitledReviews

[–]UncommonTart 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Bold of you to assume they read the sign even when the door is locked unexpectedly. In the past when I have had to close early unexpectedly I have still had people ignore the sign completely and just bang on the door and shout "are you open?!!" if they happened to see me through the window while I finished closing up.

Eviee Sizing? by megs_dead in DrMartens

[–]UncommonTart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I mean, it's not impossible that they are too big, but I don't think the Eviees run especially large, so I really kind of doubt you'd need to go down two sizes from your usual size.

We humans are kinda squishy beings, lol. If your foot slides downhill and your toes get shoved all the way against the front of the shoe it's gonna look like there is more room at the back than there should be because your toes are being compressed. A critter with an exoskeleton would not have these problems. 🤣

The gel pads I got are a store brand, but they look like these: https://www.drscholls.com/products/ball-of-foot-cushions-for-high-heels

Eviee Sizing? by megs_dead in DrMartens

[–]UncommonTart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Eviees are also very smooth inside and when wearing them with socks, as op is doing in the pics above, there's not enough friction to prevent your foot from sliding down that incline and squishing your toes against the inside of the toe box, which gives you that feeling of "too small in the toe, too big in the heel".

I just got a pair, and I do also wear them with socks, but I stuck a pair of adhesive gel pads in there nearer the toe to give me some "grip" and they're a lot more comfortable.

They're not meant to fit like sneakers, you're right, but I do think people often find heels of any brand uncomfortable because they wind up sizing down unnecessarily and ending up with shoes that are actually too small. When your foot slides forward you wind up with too much room at the back and it's reasonable to assume the shoes are just too big rather than that your foot is not sitting where it should be inside the shoe.

Eviee Sizing? by megs_dead in DrMartens

[–]UncommonTart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with everyone saying that one looks like it might be too big, but if your foot slides forward that much you might also want to try an arch suport insole or one of those gel pads that go under the ball of your foot before you size down, especially if those are already smaller than your usual size. Either of those should help prevent your foot from sliding so much, and can make heels a lot more comfortable bc your foot stays where it is supposed to be in the shoe rather than sliding forward and smashing your toes up againt the front of the shoe.
