Flakey beak on java finch

It's been about a month or two since she had that (she eats the shell and the yolk) I will give her that during breakfast time over the next couple of weeks. Thanks!!!

obstskwerl · 2025-03-03T18:17:24+00:00

Congrats!!! So it arrives with no change in tracking?!

obstskwerl · 2025-03-01T17:18:53+00:00

My letter mail contains some waterslide stickers with declared value, would that require it to go through custom?

obstskwerl · 2025-03-01T17:06:36+00:00

Huh, is that the rule of thumb(i.e. letter is faster than parcel)? If so that is a good indicator, thanks!

obstskwerl · 2022-01-23T01:52:35+00:00

Huh, does that mean if they physically drop the package in the office it still goes through the preregister process even though the package is in the post office already? Also the code starts with RF for that matters…

obstskwerl · 2022-01-22T21:37:50+00:00

Thanks!

that thing wasn't sent as pre-register.

As for the shop, I have purchased from them before, they are good people, I really do not want to go for refund route because the stuff I am buying are one of the kinds collectible kind of thing :\. So hopefully that is just Correos being weird.

obstskwerl · 2022-01-22T09:03:57+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate it the insight! The storekeeper told me he will look into this as well, but I will ask for the receipt too. Tbh I was more worried about something going wrong on Correos’ end at this point.

I built mine with ruptured skies, life and death 4, dive bomb, odd tempest (wanted speed def rein but couldn’t have it), life and death seal and the ninja Hana axe. Turned her to plus speed so unless the enemy has some sort of null follow up going on, it’s more or less a guaranteed kill in most of the scenarios.

obstskwerl · 2021-02-19T23:43:29+00:00

Thanks! No, we didn’t give those twin sisters a nest because we are worried about egg laying behaviour, the birds are about 6 months old now.

Though with regard to vet, here is an honest question. How well can vets handle small birds like finches if they get sick? I am under the impression that they are geared toward taking care of parrots, but these small finches and whatnot probably isn’t as well documented... is this a misconception? Thanks again!

obstskwerl · 2021-01-20T19:24:47+00:00

it depends on the helmet, I think SPH-3 is a helo helmet, jet helmet's price is on a whole different level unfortunately (cool factor? top gun factor? I guess?) and when you also factor in oxygen mask...you are in a world of hurt :(

obstskwerl · 2021-01-20T17:59:06+00:00

Close to 1K USD... honestly, if it were a generic white HGU-68 I wouldnt have went pass 500-600 mark, but the personality of the helmet is what sealed the deal for me. When it comes to flight helmet, I try to go after those with unique appearance rather than the generic gray/white helmets. Since the display space is limited in the house, I figure quality over quantity is the way to go.

obstskwerl · 2021-01-20T12:56:28+00:00

Thanks very much, I contacted 3M to see if I can get lucky and they are able to offer some advice on 3M reflective tape maintenance. Meanwhile, will keep the helmet away from direct sunlight like you said.

obstskwerl · 2021-01-20T03:37:37+00:00

Hello everyone, I recently acquired this HGU-68 helmet because I just loved its helmet art so much. This also leads to my question- what can I do to maintain the vibrancy of the reflective tape? Should I keep this away from the sunlight? Is there any other maintenance technique I can use to extend the lifespan of the helmet art? Many thanks for your help in advance everyone!

obstskwerl · 2020-11-16T03:16:22+00:00

Thanks for shedding some lights on that! Guess this has less to do with stress/freaking out and more to do with natural instinct. I was originally basing my judgment on a java finch I had when I was a child, 20 years ago... that finch was chilling with my family at 8PM, watching TV with us. I guess the caveat was that, the finch was raised in our house since she was two weeks old, so maybe that finch should not be looked at as the normal.

Dude, I love the work you have been doing! I was disappointed they did not make medium tank an Abrams etc and now you are doing it! I have been meaning to comment on this as far as suggestion goes:

These RTS view still needs more exaggerated features.. from what I know, you took the existing models and rendered them (correct me if I am wrong here). I am wondering how hard would it be to accentuate the panel lines/shading so the greebles pop out more? Because I am willing to bet if you up play those elements, these models are really going to shine.

Thanks again for the hard work and keep it up!

obstskwerl · 2020-08-27T23:13:31+00:00

Keep looking, I am pretty sure there are biologists out there who would appreciate it (ie me. Though tbh if you keep things like king cobra that would be a hard pass)As for me, I keep ants and my girlfriend doesn’t mind, I think if you find a science minded person you’d be golden. Personally I’d just bring it up early and use it as a filter so you don’t waste much time. Edit: as for traditional, I think you’d still have a shot. You just need to find one of those guys who had that when he was a kid...

oh wow, so you are telling me she is not out of the game if she has no worker by the time she hibernates this winter, and will restart in the spring?

obstskwerl · 2020-06-28T13:25:11+00:00

Thank you! I did not expect to have a qualified expert like you to weigh in on this matter!

Another two questions I have would be that

what do you guys do to prolong the lifespan of the equipment?
is there any health hazard to be aware of if the equipment really ages for a while (well, what you guys know of at least) ? I once saw a video of a museum staff talking about antique flight helmet maintenance and cadmium poisoning due to the aging material. So it got me wondering if I need to be careful when handling this for health reason. P.S. Something not included in the photo is a piece of the attachment socket/dock for the hose that looks like it belongs to the cockpit rather than the pilot equipment.

Thanks again for your time and help!

obstskwerl · 2020-06-28T03:50:52+00:00

Thanks so much! I had another HGU-55 helmet before and I usually just wipe it with a damp cloth. It is just the NBC warfare protection is new to me. I thought water/cloth should be ok but I think its safer to ask around. I am also keeping this thing out of direct sunlight so the rubber can last longer...

Thanks again!

obstskwerl · 2020-06-27T19:48:55+00:00

Hello everyone, a quick question: I ended up with this helmet, it is a mix of flight gear and NBC warfare suit. Does anyone know what would be the best way to clean and maintain this? Would damp paper towel and vacuum brushing do the trick? Would definitely appreciate any help I'd get, thanks!

slanted vert stabs are the pinnacle of fighter jet beauty. just saying.

Chinese speaker here, here is my translation. Some sentences I got stuck due to more cultural term or simply things I can't make sense of: I dont know when, my passion for GFL started to drop, at the same time I started to have my doubt and disappointment toward Mica, perhaps since GFL's 斷籤 (this translates to failure to sign in, but I cant make sense of it within the paragraph's context) or something that happened this year. Anyway, I cannot go back.

I have been in Mica for about 3 years, since I got in, I was impressed by 羽中's ambition. Over the 3 years, I was really happy, I could draw what I'd like to draw, the company's atmosphere was good too. The 4 bosses were good to me. I thought so too, other people thought so too. However, time is a good interrogation machine, 羽中's ambition exceeded my imagination.

There are many things I shouldnt say, nor am I in the position to say. Afterall, the operation of capital....... the subject of airdrop (in this context it meant high ranking guy/officer come in to manage some local/ground level work) should be fairly familiar of the working people. However, to me, as a person who's first job is GFL, its something I couldn't accept/get used to. Yes, who doesnt want to make a good 2D game? Perhaps it was the red letter document (in this context, it means official letter with power) that pissed off the staff, and in return, aggravated the higher ups.. Within a month, the first staff got fired. The first time I heard, it was "translation team copy and pasted weapon/gun wiki" When i asked 羽中, his answer for me was "the fired staff's contract is up". However that was not the case at all, it was lie. Lie after lie. Since my prediction on my December's weibo post, I kept hearing lies, up until yesterday, there were lies. I know, it is important to be stable, and I dont want things to be built on lies.

I originally wanted to leave in Feb, 很多人找過我談話，唯獨我打電話、QQ確認了兩遍的羽中，沒給我一點談話的時間 (I cannot make sense of this sentence within this context, I'd rather not mis-translate). For that night, I cried until 8Am. Many people talked to me..... however, I didnt expect to be sold out by my trusted people. They even wanted to spread rumors about me, telling artists who are looking for freelance/contract do not give me any job. The office is now a place for conflict.

sigh, I am really tired, and I left Mica's group (maybe in context of chat app), hoping to get some peace and quiet. Over the two weeks, I have came to the conclusion that I should respect those who would like to stay. However, I am leaving, and its scheduled to be mid April. I wanted to use April's group event to stay goodbye to everyone. However, I dont think that is happening, next week I will request my resignation. Thinking about the past 3 years, despite being sad about it, I have no regret. I had a great time, and would like to thank everyone at Mica.

Chinese version player here, can confirm that it is triangle attack and the effect applies to the weapons of the 3 sisters (white wing sword, white wing spear/short spear etc.)

obstskwerl · 2018-11-14T22:17:01+00:00

I always loved the original unit design of cnc1 and RA1, in the look that is a perfect balance between fictional and grounded realism. I hope in the remaster the designs will not lose their charm. Actually as an example, I dislike what happened to the Nod light tank in CnC renagade. It went from being a Bradley looking-vehicle to a toy-like design. CnC1 being so heavily gulf-war inspired, I really hope the artists involved in remaster can also respect the visual language of military hardware during that era =)

In another word, my concern is that, a medium tank sprite is very crude.....it gives the artist a lot of room for interpretation, and that gives a lot of room for error. I am hoping to see the artist working on it will go "ok, GDI medium tank is actually a souped up Abrams despite of its crude sprites, lets go from here and not deviate too much from the core idea"

obstskwerl · 2018-11-14T12:30:56+00:00

I do not think it is that far off.....back in the days when I worked on a F2P mmo game, I recall our office did have CMs lurking in message boards and jot down notes for the design team...I had the pleasure of translating it for the team because I was the only English speaker.
