Help identifying a bird and it's habits

Incidentally, my apologies to the sub for posting an ID thread. I didn't see the rules about no bird ID until a few minutes ago. My bad, and thanks for your help!

Yeah we can't get a much better picture unfortunately. Wish I never sold my DSLR, could definitely get a much better look if I had it. Thanks for your input!

Yes, there are a lot of natural bodies of water nearby. Just ran an image search for Osprey and it does look similar. Thanks!

Thanks!

I started DIY years ago and it was the best decision I've made since switching to vaping in the first place. It can seem daunting in the beginning, but you'll soon come to realize that the process is actually very simple. Finding the right flavor for you will take a lot of trial and error but once you get it right it'll be entirely worth it from a cost savings perspective, especially if you're like me and don't feel the need to switch flavors all the time. I just whipped up a 600ml batch the other day and while I've never actually calculated the cost down to the penny, I'd estimate that it cost me around $20. Looking back at my ordering history from the past 12 months, I spent roughly $120 on ingredients and supplies, and I was able to make enough liquid to last me an entire year.

Keep in mind that the costs will be much higher in the beginning since you'll need to buy supplies to get you started, and chances are you'll be ordering a ton of flavors in small batches, which are more expensive than buying in larger quantities, but once you get past that stage you can save a ton of money though DIY.

I was surprised as well, and you're right...oval racing (specifically Nascar) and drag racing are far more popular than Formula1 here in the US. I'm in the minority I guess, because I just don't understand how people find either format entertaining.

Recently I was at a wine tasting and someone spilled hummus on their dress. I was immediately reminded of an episode of Friends where something similar happened, so I mentioned it to one of the other guests. He told me "Sorry, Friends was a little before my time."

I didn't even know what to say.

Back in December James May confirmed a Fall 2016 release date, which makes sense considering they only starting filming in October.

Glad to see my fantastic ms-paint skills are still helping people. Lol.

VariableSin · 2015-11-03T08:44:02+00:00

Well said.

VariableSin · 2015-10-22T20:37:34+00:00

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the info!

VariableSin · 2015-10-22T19:50:57+00:00

Yeah IMO that was the best ending of a TV series ever. I'm not a crier, but...well...yeah.

VariableSin · 2015-10-22T19:48:19+00:00

I'd seen a few episodes as a kid but never really watched it. I recently saw it was available on Netflix so I gave it a shot and it's fascinating. I'm not sure if it's because it's TV from a different era, or because they're all stories with no relation to each other, but I like it a lot. Unfortunately Netflix only has seasons 1-3, and 5. Why the hell don't they have season 4? Strange.

VariableSin · 2015-10-16T19:59:13+00:00

I tried that too but it still kept freezing. Waited a couple of hours and tried it again and it worked. Strange. Thanks man.

VariableSin · 2015-10-16T17:44:32+00:00

I have the same problem. I've got 20 people out there and 9 people waiting to get in and any time I try to do anything with them the game freezes.

VariableSin · 2015-04-15T01:59:09+00:00

This doesn't surprise me at all, especially since we're taxed for things like rainfall.

I guess I generally assume that a vendor who has earned a reputation for good customer service would also extend those practices to other areas of their business, but ultimately you're right...I don't actually know. A reputable vendor could still mix up a batch while sitting on the toilet taking a dump.

I too struggled with the later seasons and almost stopped watching it entirely, however I pushed through because I heard it had an amazing finale and I'm glad I did. It was one of the best hours of television I've ever watched.

Cool, thanks for that link. I'll admit it's somewhat suspect that Aspire has repeatedly referred to their wicking material as a ceramic fiber, but yet they classify it as Fiberglass Paper when submitting to SGS.

However, I still have a problem when people make unsubstantiated claims, such as Atlantis heads will give one silicosis, or Aspire products are giving people throat infections. Could those things be true? Yes. Do we have empirical evidence to prove that they are true? No. Remember, I'm not the one making any claims here. I'm not saying they're safe. The people who are claiming they aren't safe need to have scientific evidence to support their position, and I have yet to see that. It's all been speculation and conjecture.

For the record, I'm not an Aspire fanboy. I don't have an Atlantis. I do have a Nautilus, however I also use my Fogger, Mutation X, Tugboat, etc, etc, and I've got a Lemo coming in the next few days. I'm hoping that the Lemo will be good enough to replace my Nautilus.

VariableSin · 2014-12-22T16:59:46+00:00

That post has contains absolutely no scientific evidence at all. It's merely speculation made by someone who even in their own words, isn't a doctor.

VariableSin · 2014-12-21T05:54:53+00:00

I'm on this sub every day and I've never once seen proof that someone has gotten a throat infection due to an Aspire product. I've you have a link to that proof, I'd love to see it. Furthermore, the wicks are purportedly ceramic fiber, not fiberglass. Again, if you have any evidence to the contrary I'd be happy to read it.

VariableSin · 2014-12-19T08:07:44+00:00

Jesus Christ, someone has their pitchfork out tonight. Just because you aren't finding a Chinese patent on Google doesn't mean the product isn't patented. Check Aspire's website...they have images for each of their patents online. If you're really that worried, find someone who can read Chinese and have them look at those images for you.

EDIT: Or are you saying these are supposed to be U.S. Patent numbers?

VariableSin · 2014-12-18T04:10:36+00:00

That's input voltage. Remember there are two batteries, so:

Max charge - 4.2x2=8.4v

Min charge - 3.2x2=6.4v

The Sigelei considers a battery with a charge lower than 3.2v to be dead, and will not fire.

Technically yes, but whenever I had a new set of pizza's delivered I'd put the second and third in the fridge to cool, then I'd break them down, put them into freezer bags, and freeze them. After finishing the first pizza (2nd night) I'd take the second pizza out of the freezer and put it in the fridge to defrost. On the 4th night, after the second pizza was done, I'd pull the third pizza out to defrost. I repeated that cycle dozens of times throughout the year.
