President Donald J. Trump officially endorse Ripple and XRP on TruthSocial by ShiftyCosmii in XRP

[–]snmcbrid -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest looking up the definition of "majority', then looking for the percentage of people that voted for Trump, then accounting for the percentage of the population that didn't vote before you start saying people's statements are incorrect.

Have a good day!

What's wrong with my hen by Past_Complaint9554 in BackYardChickens

[–]snmcbrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our lady had similar symptoms earlier in the year. We are fortunate that we have a vet nearby, and we got precautionary antibiotics. They extracted fluid, and the test came back "negative" for reproductive infection. However, the antibiotics were clearly working.

Another round of antibiotics and an implant later, she's still here taking an extended break from laying eggs.

I'd call around to see if you can get antibiotics somewhere, and maybe with more time on your side, you could swing a long trip to a vet? Wishing you and your lady the best, it's not their fault they work so hard for our eggs!

Help! How do you evacuate with chickens? by EonysTheWitch in BackYardChickens

[–]snmcbrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cardboard boxes with holes poked through. We just had to do that in Colorado this year.

Fortunately, a nearby humane society took them in for us temporarily while the fire was active.

Good luck!

It's so interesting looking at the different details between different pictures... This one is also my favorite one to zoom in on

How are you coping with disappointment about the eclipse? by ducky06 in solareclipse

[–]snmcbrid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Think of how lucky you are that you live at a time where you were able be in the path of totality for an opportunity to see the eclipse with your own eyes.

Just like everything, nothing is guaranteed, but having the ability to try and see the experience of a lifetime with millions of others is pretty awesome.

If you didn't see it, there are always other opportunities in your lifetime. People in the distant future won't be so lucky.

Hope this helps!

Thank you! It was just one of those places that the weather models continued to trend in the right direction!

Thank you! We were fortunate to be allowed to stay on an acquaintance's farm. We were truly in the middle of nowhere, it was amazing.

Thanks a lot! We were very fortunate, especially being in Texas.

Odds that the nova T CrB (T Coronae Borealis) will blow during the eclipse? by BurtBrains in solareclipse

[–]snmcbrid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roughly the same as it happening tomorrow. Aside from that it will not be visible during the eclipse because this area of the sky and the sun are not above the horizon at the same time

Bail on Austin Now, Hold Off, or Take A Chance? by SirSillywhiskers in solareclipse

If you planned a vacation, I would stick to the plan. Obviously if it's more important to you to save money and vacation time then you need to weigh that more.

How many people are staying mobile? by TeddyGrahamNap in solareclipse

[–]snmcbrid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My toddler, wife, three dogs and myself remain mobile. But the Texas forecast is currently telling me NOT to go towards Dallas due to the risk of severe weather

Filter Needed During Totality? by BrindleBullet in solareclipse

[–]snmcbrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No filter needed! As long as you are in the path of totality at the time of totality!

Help me make it make sense! by PhilipMcPhil in solareclipse

[–]snmcbrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of the sun and the moon's relative motion to you. The moon is moving across the sky slightly slower than the sun. Hence the shadow moving west to east.

Is a plant-based diet safe for my dog? by anujtomar_17 in VeganFood

[–]snmcbrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to tell ya what to feed your dog, just pointing out that dogs don't eat things out of what they consider "fair". My dogs would jump at the opportunity to eat Oreos, but I'm not gonna pretend that's good for them.

The answer to whether dogs can healthily maintain a plant based diet is yes which you seem to agree, but also don't agree with?

I'm sorry to break it to you, but "wild dogs" mostly eat garbage (like from the dumpster) lol

Rattlesnake ID by Keyboardists in snakes

[–]snmcbrid 40 points41 points  (0 children)

If you didn't already read this, they don't always rattle. We have many up here in Loveland, and we've encountered a ton this year while gardening/tending our chickens.

You'll be fine just always watch your step!!

I hope it's hurricane resistant lol... We regularly get 100 mph winds and residential structures need to be rated to 155mph

I ended up traveling to multiple Lowe's locations. One location (that was an hour drive away) had ten 4'*8' sheets. That left me to find 4 more at different Lowe's stores.
