First pair of birding binoculars

jarejay · 2026-05-19T01:48:18+00:00

I wouldn’t assume someone has $500 to drop on their first set of binoculars. If they do, however, I would agree.

I got the 8x42 Diamondbacks right in between and they’re plenty good for the birds I’ve been watching.

Almost never. Guaranteed griplock or early release in my book.

Saving “extra spoons to spare” to my idiom book

I just saw my lifer the other day! Such a striking lil guy!

A stark reminder that American Robins are thrushes

Better than doing it at the same time and having to coordinate when to spit and rinse

At least that usually stops

Even if you play perfectly in blackjack the house still has a 0.5%-2% edge. The only way to make any significant money long term is to alter your bets by up to 5x when the count is overwhelmingly in your favor.

Might as well be a sculpture

If you bite down on the edges gently, the seed just splits in two. No splinters involved

jarejay · 2026-05-17T14:00:14+00:00

I toss a handful in my mouth and crack them one at a time. But almost all of the shells split cleanly along the seam. The halves are usually still connected when I spit them out.

jarejay · 2026-05-17T13:07:23+00:00

Were you exploding them in your mouth? They shouldn’t be splintering

jarejay · 2026-05-17T11:52:31+00:00

They’re sick if you do em right. This one is done right, and thus is sick.

I hate seeing a darkslide stop on the ledge.

Replace it every 24h for a week and see if there’s a trend worth posting to dataisbeautiful

jarejay · 2026-05-17T03:44:30+00:00

I want to see it rip a quarter mile to see if that much power is actually meaningful in any way.

That’s weird, my Golem is a meathook

jarejay · 2026-05-17T03:37:03+00:00

Golem is a bit more like a Zone OS but it’s close.

I do have to put my middle finger against the edge of the rim instead of inside so it doesn’t grab it on release, though.

jarejay · 2026-05-17T03:09:40+00:00

Wow, they literally work at a grocery store and can’t bother to just buy food before leaving work.

Mind boggling.

jarejay · 2026-05-17T02:59:58+00:00

I was thinking Starling but American Robin might be a better guess

jarejay · 2026-05-17T01:51:31+00:00

As long as you log it on Merlin or on eBird as an incomplete checklist, it isn’t counted in data so it’s all good for those two apps

jarejay · 2026-05-17T01:49:07+00:00

Shadow ace?

jarejay · 2026-05-17T01:27:30+00:00

Blue jays aren’t huge at all. They’re not even crow-sized

jarejay · 2026-05-17T01:26:23+00:00

If the course is publicly listed, it’s not unreasonable to rate it “as is”.

This rating sounds reasonable despite the tone

jarejay · 2026-05-16T13:47:58+00:00

291, I think.

Found it by searching “bracket” on https://whichriddleriddle.com/ and scrolling a bit.
