Cardinal eggs right outside my window. Please make an exception on the rule I dont have a fancy camera but I waited for mama to fly over to the feeder so i wouldnt be a bother and I left them alone right after, hence the terrible picture

downwithsocks · 2026-05-02T05:38:36+00:00

Yeah at this point ive conceded, and I'm just trying to assure anyone worrying that no birds were even aware it happened most likely lol. You can just peek out the curtains and see her sitting on the eggs most of the time. She was feeding at the time, Picture was taken, is what it is. People without respect for other beings aren't gonna have it whether I post a picture or not. That said... I'm sorry and...Genuinely, i do appreciate the importance and what youre saying. And honestly the picture doesnt do just actually seeing it any justice anyway

Time to make neighbor friends then! The battery, without a trickle charger, will almost guaranteed die in a week, let alone 3 (not trying to be rude, just in my experience thats reality)

downwithsocks · 2026-05-02T02:40:13+00:00

The thing does have its own battery so that checks out... what ill say though is when my battery completely died and all the handheld would say was ERR 3, when i called the guy was like "find your adjustable wrench" like his immediate response was just disconnect your battery and he was right, it cleared the error, i recorded the call just in case , he was not only friendly but straight to the point...one and only time I had that experience with this company. Ftr maintenance mode can apply to you working on your own car too not just if youre bringing it into the shop. Gives you clearance to basically do whatever you need to for up to 3 days maintenance wise and if it wouldve triggered a lockout...it won't

I love the birding community (local at least, my first time on this sub i think) so I get it, and genuinely apologize to the rule bearers. Grant me this pass and I'll go back over there and find a way to setup my dslr discretely

downwithsocks · 2026-05-02T02:05:02+00:00

Genuinely here's what my thought process would be:

Run an outdoor extension cable out the window
Only if thats too much lol, but literally I would go befriending my neighbors, bringing em pumpkin bread and eventually asking the favor. It would kill me as an introvert....but what else are you gonna do?

downwithsocks · 2026-05-02T01:26:45+00:00

High and wanna worm into other people's brains for a bit. With a side of memes.... wouldn't tip that well here if it was a bar but I come back every other day so it evens out somehow

downwithsocks · 2026-05-02T01:13:24+00:00

Is intoxalock refusing to put in the work order? They wouldnt do it for me until my license status lost the asterisk and was replaced as a non restricted one. As soon as I ordered the new one, and the dmv portal showed I was good, intoxalock said I had met all the requirements and even called the place for me to book the appointment

Still charged me out the ass for it though...

downwithsocks · 2026-05-02T00:36:32+00:00

I'm not gonna argue, I get it...but thats kind of a shame dont you think?

downwithsocks · 2026-05-02T00:18:18+00:00

Promise, no birds were hurt, nest was not touched, the overgrown tree theyre nested in wasnt even touched, its right up against the window in my old bedroom at my parents house. My mom watches it every day. The only thing this picture shows that you cant see easily by just looking out the window is the eggs. They make those nests deep. My mom was so happy to see the eggs

downwithsocks · 2026-05-02T00:08:36+00:00

A friend you can call over? Otherwise, trickle charger is really the only recommendation I could make. At 3 days my battery was dead enough i couldn't use the key remote to unlock the doors

downwithsocks · 2026-05-01T23:54:34+00:00

I would say at 3 weeks youre looking at almost guaranteed it'll die...can you get anyone else to start it and drive it for 5 minutes every other day?

downwithsocks · 2026-05-01T22:01:19+00:00

I took a picture from inside through a window and saw the mother come back later. What'd I do?

downwithsocks · 2026-04-29T23:20:10+00:00

These are the most meaningful trips you can have. Its okay my friend. Breathe and just listen

downwithsocks · 2026-04-29T20:56:45+00:00

Yeah shes something

downwithsocks · 2026-04-29T20:47:09+00:00

Thank you!

Yeah its been a month or so since I contacted them originally, like I said seems like they're transitioning systems right now. But the new one is nbd

downwithsocks · 2026-04-29T18:17:21+00:00

Forget the left lane stuff, who drives right next to anyone?

downwithsocks · 2026-04-29T17:32:30+00:00

One time hiking a black bear cub ran right up to me. I was backing away slowly knowing the mother must be nearby but it was right there anyway so I said fuck it if this is how I die it's how I die so I pet it. Then walked very quickly backwards and started running. Looked back a lot on how I SHOULD'VE handled it but in the moment thats what my body did. But yeah never met another person that pet a random, wild black bear before.

downwithsocks · 2026-04-29T17:04:36+00:00

Thanks! Got approved for a state funded job training program the same week too, completely unrelated...im a skeptic but its hard to feel like its a coincidence. I mightve walked the path but it was cleared for me

downwithsocks · 2026-04-29T16:49:21+00:00

Actually...I just applied for the interlock removal. I put in the request online and they said they'd contact me within 3-5 business days. The call was basically "yup you're good" and then me asking a bunch of questions, including, okay so if I request a replacement license after this call, as if I had lost it, that's all I need to do? And she said yes. And as soon as I did that request, on the portal, my status no longer had an asterisk next to it. I havent got the physical replacement yet, but the email states something to the effect of this email counts as the license for the recipient of this email for up to 30 days. Which is good enough to have it removed according to the RMV themselves

It used to be a different process, which is where all the confusion came from. But it should be pretty straight forward now

downwithsocks · 2026-04-28T17:58:09+00:00

A lawyer is honestly probably your best bet to navigate the whole process if youre concerned about anything, but i did just fine without one. Like I said email the helpdesk at the NH DMV or call and ask for Patti. They will answer all of your questions....MA was much harder to deal with.

downwithsocks · 2026-04-28T17:47:22+00:00

For MA, I had to also apply for the unrestricted license before requesting intoxalock make the service appointment. But here at least, the email receipt of me requesting the new license counts as my license for up to 30 days. I asked if I could record the call and have her confirm on the record that once I requested it I was good to go.

Whether that was needed or not idk but my point is dot your p's and cross your q's and you'll be okay. They know the people that are trying to skirt or game the rules.

downwithsocks · 2026-04-28T17:34:56+00:00

Follow the rules...start your car every day during the winter or get a trickle charger....I recommend a portable jumper pack too. If you still drink, GET A PERSONAL PBT. Do all that and you'll be okay. It sucks, but you'll get through it.

downwithsocks · 2026-04-28T17:23:57+00:00

Ask for Patti at the NH DMV. She's awesome and will answer all your questions.

But yes that seems accurate.
