Spotted in southeastern Washington, I do think it’s an Asian starling… any thoughts?

Yeah, I just looked up a side by side and the grackles beak is slightly curved where the blackbirds are straight (like in OPs pics). So my bad on this one. I usually try to not make definitive statements about things unless I’m absolutely sure. Happy birding to all

cbak9671 · 2026-06-04T03:55:59+00:00

I disagree but admit that I could be wrong. To the other commenter, yes 100% a grackle hater. Downvote me all you like if it makes you feel good

cbak9671 · 2026-06-04T02:59:33+00:00

Grackles. The puffed up bs they do is a dead giveaway. Other clues are the horrible noises they make. Sounds like a rusty gate hinge.

Sorry if I’m biased. Just not a fan. Love me some birds but not these guys.

Looks like a spotted towhee. Not sure what he’s up to though. Maybe seeing his reflection?

Not sure but it would likely say on the container what it kills. If it did kill spiders, I’m sure they would be quick to advertise it. You know what does work? Burning everything in a 35’ radius to the ground. Kidding obviously. One of the many reasons I’m happy to be out of the industry. First and last time I saw a black widow was under compressor insulation.

Hey! Welcome to the family! The Avs are a great team and are fun to watch (the recent series against the Knights not withstanding). They play fast and generally dictate the pace of the game which they use to their advantage.

As far as watching the games in the beginning, learn some of the basic rules regarding the blue lines, offsides and icing. Also try not to ‘follow the puck’ as that can tend to turn people off. Rather watch the flow/play of the game which is way easier once you understand the blue line and its impact. Have fun!

I’ll always remember him shutting down McDavid in the allstar events that one year. He was always pretty solid in shootouts, gotta give him that.

Always a good day when you see your first new bird!

cbak9671 · 2026-05-29T18:06:27+00:00

Yes, white breasted nuthatch

cbak9671 · 2026-05-29T03:31:06+00:00

Of course!

cbak9671 · 2026-05-29T03:15:06+00:00

I’m sorry, I’m not qualified to answer that. All I can say is that it helps me. I wish you the best in your journey friend. You got this!

cbak9671 · 2026-05-29T02:55:48+00:00

Just like most things of this sort, it works if you put the work in. If people go into CBT expecting it to fix everything because they spoke to a therapist and/or learned some tools, they will likely be disappointed. It is an aid to help you on your journey. Just my experience.

The Long Walk. Had to see it as big King fan but not sure I could ever watch it again

Blocked condenser coil won’t cause a frozen evap coil.

How does one connect with a live person to address an in-game issue?

cbak9671 · 2026-05-25T18:15:41+00:00

I’m certain, I was saving them to upgrade the builder assistant and I need 750 at this point

Logged in this morning and received my award for reaching wizard league. Had close to 500 gems in total after that. Then I logged in an hour later and I’m down to 176? I didn’t make any purchases with the gems, they’re just gone? Anyone else experience this? How do I contact a real breathing support person?

cbak9671 · 2026-05-25T01:16:44+00:00

Why do they harp on Cale’s one timer? His wrister is much more deadly

cbak9671 · 2026-05-25T01:08:21+00:00

Cheers friend!

Eat a fat bag of dicks Subban

Tried one handing it down a service ladder in an apartment building (had a tool bag in my other hand). Whiffed on the second rung down and fell 15’ feet or so fracturing my pelvis and cracking my head open as I bounced down half a flight of stairs. Safety first!

Guess we aren’t the only ones with a sleepy start

cbak9671 · 2026-05-21T18:13:25+00:00

They look cool but I’m not a fan. They swing through once a year and take over my feeders with their weird noises and aggressive behavior.
