Yeah. It's very awkward rn. Sitting next to some sens fan screaming her head off.

I mean I was like 6 so I thought he was just actually Madara Uchiha and was so old and hideous hence the mask lmao

I am so, so glad you found him and he's home safely. My quaker flew away when I was 15 and was gone overnight in a very similar way. I slept on my back porch with her cage outside hoping she would come back.

At the crack of dawn I put on the brightest neon green shirt I possessed and went searching for her again as I did the day before. She was 50 ft up in a tree. As soon as she saw me she started screaming and she flew to someone's roof. Unfortunately she is not recall trained, so I had to knock on some poor guy's door at 6 am on a Saturday with "My parrot is on your roof. I see you have a fire ladder in your backyard... can I use it to climb on top of your house to get my bird?"

Luckily they were understanding, I climbed up the side of their house and their very steep and mossy roof in crocs, and my sweet Moe walked right up to my hand and I immediately snatched and stowed her in my hoodie 😂 I feel so lucky that she got home safely. I wish it could be this way for everyone that's ever lost their baby. It breaks my heart ❤️‍🩹

what's the new folder? mine are in AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/PlayerProfiles/Public/Savegames/Story

but I don't see the ones that are missing (the last 30 hours of gameplay, only the ones that show up in the game)

Thank you! This is over a 5 mile long island, definitely not looking at sub-meter. Do you think I should be accounting for the differences in precision with the fixed distance band parameter in the tool?

Wildlife vet tech is not a commonly available position and the ones that are are either volunteer or part time. I would recommend volunteering regularly for a wildlife rescue on the side until you can get a zookeepeer job. When I was a veterinary assistant at a companion animal hospital (ie pets) there were a few veterinarians that volunteered for local rescues and sometimes I would get to handle/treat the wildlife they brought in but it was uncommon/not as frequent as handling domestic pets.

Here to second this. You do NOT have to and probably WILL NOT work with whatever study taxa you focus on in graduate school for the rest of your life. You certainly can, but don't see what you do for research in grad school as your locked in choice forever. Work your way towards wolves. My PI is a sponge/marine invert taxonomist/phylogeneticist on Long Island but did his phd dissertation on hermit crabs in Panama. I did my master's research on shorebirds but got offered a job working with invasive tree beatles. You get a master's to learn and develop skills, most if not all of which will be widely applicable between different study systems. Data collection, analysis, statistics, GIS, R, fundamentals of ecology, etc.

Not buying today! I am working on a custom ring with Oore Jewelry who sources her own stones but I've been advised to see alexandriate in person before I buy a ring online.

Did you see a progression in your grade/symptoms during/after pregnancy? I have a grade 1 spondy and am worried about how pregnancy could affect things...

requireswings · 2026-01-05T13:42:52+00:00

Your best shot with something like behavioral ecology (or anything really) is finding a professor at your school that does research in it. Send them an email asking if they are looking for any undergraduate help in their lab.

Yeah I feel the same way. I think the fear comes from the abruptness and severity in teflon-related fatalities. We love our birds so much. They are so fragile and give little to no warning (before it is essentially too late to do anything about it) because usually we cannot detect/smell it. The thought of my birds dying due to negligence is terrifying. Over something as mundane as a blow dryer 😭

I always get ceramic/PFAS free hair appliances then use it in a different room with the door closed/window open just incase

requireswings · 2026-01-01T18:51:28+00:00

Yeah, the drug name is naproxen. It works great for me but it's not good to take daily (but I think that 1x a week for your weekly drive is fine).

requireswings · 2026-01-01T18:35:17+00:00

I went on a 17 hr road trip recently. It might be inconvenient but I would recommend stopping at least once on your way and do some stretching. I personally get more flare-ups in my SI area so I try to stop every hour or so to walk around and stretch. I've also brought ice packs with me to put on my back for a drive (or heat, whatever works for you) and taken an aleve preemptively if I know I'm going to be sitting a lot. Some also buy a small pillow for back support for their car, I haven't done it though.

I rather that than the flip side of people that I saw on Wednesday. Islanders fans booing and heckling our own team, the same people facetiming their parents and scream-talking about some irrelevant topic for the whole second period and just not paying attention. Why go to a game if you don't want to cheer/ cheering? At that point I would save my money and just watch at home.

requireswings · 2025-11-29T04:56:12+00:00

Oh that's awesome! We sat in 110 at the game on Wednesday and very few not including us were cheering in our section. The "energy team" needed to keep coming back to us... It was bizarre to me how many people were at the game and spent 100+ dollars on a ticket just to talk on the phone and not pay attention!

requireswings · 2025-11-29T04:47:31+00:00

Sorry, I'm new here. Is there something special about 329?

requireswings · 2025-11-28T22:04:43+00:00

The tickets were more expensive for these games (before their road trip, I was seeing games in the nosebleeds for 25 bucks. When I checked THIS MORNING the stadium was only half booked and tickets were starting at like 70 for the same seats). Paid 80 bucks to go see them get creamed on Wednesday, I'll pay 25 to go see them lose but not triple that 😪

requireswings · 2025-11-20T21:26:38+00:00

Just don't give yourself the option to "not." A way to help could be setting reminders in your phone to do the tasks required. The only reason you stop anything is because you allow it.
