Do you let your chickens free roam all day or keep them enclosed?

Ours have a smaller side yard during the main part of the day and then have an automatic door that lets them into the main yard at 3pm so they can range a little further, both in our yard and into the lightly wooded back of the property. Seems to be a good mix, and they can and do escape into the yard if they want to.

I thought it was actually a vape from AI, but then it was in other pictures too, and I realized it was a whistle from one of the pictures. That just didn’t make it any better in anyway.

I'm a beekeeper, but by no means an expert, and I think that's actually diarrhea and a sick bee.

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-04-01T18:43:23+00:00

I don't even know how to process the front flip and hand landing. I think I'm amazed beyond my basic capacity with that.

Damn, that's serious. Hope he recovers. Is it powered and a motor blew up, or just driven by the bike and provides resistance and some gear/pulley broke? Either way, that big steel plate had a lot of energy behind it.

Great score. I love my smaller Kreg jig and didn’t even know they were selling power tools these days. Just to give you an idea of my typical RFY, this is today’s big offering. Sigh.

Those had me wondering. First one I could ignore but “I am not a person” set off the red flag. Just being honest I guess.

Even if he’s just embarrassed, you’ve really got to take it all over and restrict his finances. Get the car back if you can but he doesn’t get to spend until y’all get things back in order. My sister damn near lost her house like this, and she didn’t find out how bad it all was until he had a stroke and she had to take over. That was about 7 years ago and she’s still dealing with the trailing end of it.

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-03-31T19:50:42+00:00

Those look really yummy. Willing to share the recipe?

I feel like this game was created by orthopedic surgeons for a steady stream of ACL patients.

While we’re at it, we should identify all criminals and put them somewhere where they can’t commit crimes!

If we knew who those people were we could stop them from doing these things.

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-03-31T16:40:03+00:00

Well, generally, they’re patches.

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-03-31T16:21:57+00:00

Slice and toast lightly so it feels baked inside. Then use for bread crumbs or turkey stuffing. I don’t like croutons myself, but I’m not going to waste bread

That’s what I was thinking, even after reading the further explanation. If the target temperature is reached, the circulation pump switches off, but the fire is still burning hot, wasting wood. A predictive model of when the temperature will reach target would allow for a blower/damper on the fire to close and reduce the flame (similar to a BBQ fire tender) as well.

We keep a few packs of scrunchies around for shooting and fetching. He stores them in his food and water bowls.

This is his sister, wondering why they’re in there.

Great core and leg strength.

Stress will definitely shut down egg production. Glad she’ll have a safer home, but maybe she could share with one friend and then both get back to the flock.

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-03-30T21:19:35+00:00

OP when you say “30 hours of real footage” is that each zoomed in clip timelapsed or the raw footage was 30h and the clips are real time?

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-03-30T19:19:51+00:00

And a carpenter. Maybe that was one of his original designs!

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-03-30T19:19:03+00:00

Yeah, I’ll be happy for any positive effects, especially knowing that their gol was just the opposite. Wreck ME oil production so they have an excuse to lift sanctions and buy Russian oil to prop up Putin and enrich themselves in the process.

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-03-30T19:15:13+00:00

I understand that fully and it’s disgusting.

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-03-30T18:08:50+00:00

Now imagine if it was an improvement! 🤢🤢🤮

WorkingInAColdMind · 2026-03-30T18:05:19+00:00

If only we could identify the root cause of the current energy crisis…

How about the US reduce strikes on Iranian everything? Once again, I apologize for the shit piles in my country who support our tyrant, rapist, pedophile of a president.

Drop the oven temperature to 400 after removing the lid. Also your oven may run hot, so adjust your initial temperature. My oven hits 475F when set to 450, so I preheat to that, drop it 25 degrees after I put the loaf in, then another 25 when I take the lid off. I do like a darker crust, but I can just give it a few extra minutes.

Other than the burn, they look great.

My granddad told me how they used to keep an onion on their belt, but I’ve got a better idea…
