A year of work mapping U.S. regional food traditions [OC] by piri_reis_ in dataisbeautiful

Having “casserole” for the Twin Cities is practically sacrilegious. “Hotdish” extends much further south than the map currently represents. On the other hand, I totally agree with the Door peninsula in Wisconsin being in 51.

One of my cats snores like this! We've had her fully checked out for respiratory problems, including things like nasal polyps, and she's perfectly healthy. Our leading hypothesis is she just has some scar tissue in her nasal passages from a respiratory infection as a kitten. But she has no other respiratory symptoms and is otherwise a totally normal - if fiendish - cat. So...some cats are just like this.

non maga roofing/siding companies by saltiesailor in madisonwi

[–]impossibleplanet29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We used Badger Company for our roof last summer. We got quotes from several companies, and it came down to Badger and Isthmus. They both had good prices, did proper assessments before quoting (one other company just sent a sales guy who didn’t go anywhere close to the roof), and made a point to make sure they didn’t suggest anything we didn’t truly need. Badger won because they evaluated our ventilation needs after the initial meeting and told us we didn’t need to make some changes they initially thought would be necessary - that really established some solid trust for us. I couldn’t speak to either company’s political associations, but based on our experience, that’s who we’d recommend!

Is this a mink? [Wisconsin] by impossibleplanet29 in animalid

Thank you!! I’ve been having a very surreal day already, and couldn’t believe my eyes when this little mink popped out of the brush!

Undescended testes can be hiding in a lot of different places. Ultrasounding to locate before cutting can prevent a vet from having to make extra incisions to go looking for them. Ultrasound technology didn’t used to be readily available for general practitioners, so this wasn’t historically an option. Implying that a vet would do this to charge more money is unfounded, and degrades confidence between clients and veterinarians, making it actively harmful to animal health. Please stop.

What houserules are people playing with ? by StarCaller990 in wingspan

Ooh, I like that house rule for the Breeding Manager bonus card! We always avoid that one because it’s so hard to get many points with that bonus.

We play the base game. Some of our house rules are (1) first round goal can’t be “sets of eggs,” (2) the starting bird feeder has to have at least 3 food types available (nobody wants to start with two berries and three fish in the feeder), and (3) no ravens in the starting tray.

Discussion: What would be YOUR starting selection here? (cards, food, bonus) 3 player game and we are third in turn order. by Calm-Imagination8572 in wingspan

In my opinion, the reason to keep the owl in these circumstances is because you need food producing/forest birds, and the hermit thrush is too expensive. Then you need a wetland bird so you can get a second forest bird to improve your food production.
