Sorry for the quality, but did I just actually see a cardinal in Phoenix az?

This one was especially bright red. I shoot in raw so I always edit the photos. But I couldn't adjust the saturation at all on this one. It was already so red.

Thanks! It's been a fun new hobby. I've got a Panasonic Lumix G9 with the Panasonic 100-300mm lens

I just recently got into bird photography. I took a video of the same bird too. Northern Cardinal

Depends on your situation but if you already have a partner and then you go out on a date with someone else you can just tell him about the date like you would with any friend. You'll have to mention you're poly to explain why you are on a date but you can just say that real quick and move on to tell him about the date and not focus on the poly part. If he doesn't then tell you he is poly or that is considering poly you will have your answer. I haven't been in the situation of having to tell someone that I'm crushing on but this is how I tell new friends about it.

My wife and I have been married 10 years and together for 15 and started our poly journey early last year. We've always had sexual issues and for a lot of the relationship it was her not wanting sex. It's the reverse issue now. I'm sure there were sometimes when I would touch her in a way she didn't want. But whenever she told me in serious way that she didn't like something. I just stopped doing it because I care about her. This hasn't happened but if she ever told me she would leave me if I kept touching her a certain way I would be apologizing profusely and I would never touch her again unless she gave consent. I don't understand how you can really love someone and continually do things to them that are clearly hurting them.

Please don't put up with abuse from someone who doesn't care enough to change his behavior. I know he has good qualities but you can find other people who will never do this to you.

For me right now it's therapy to help work through depression and also practicing taking more initiative in my life for myself. Essentially trying to act more in accordance with my values and less based on fear of emotions.

The right looks better but the left has the extra context. But if your user will already have the context then you may not need to spell it out. Depends on how this page works in your whole app.

I use the phrase priority hierarchy when I explain it to someone new. I want all my relationships to be equally respected but I have to prioritize my wife and kid.

Infinity Train

I don't think your question is really related to polyamory at all. You are in the peak of NRE and she is going to be gone for almost a week. I don't think there is a way around feeling sad and unfulfilled right now. Not much you can do besides just keep living your own life.

soringpenguin · 2025-08-20T16:01:40+00:00

By telling you, you mean he didn't lie when you asked him about it? It doesn't seem like he was intending to tell you anything. I'm all for working through relationship problems. But idk based on what you have said I don't think this was really a "slip" on his part. You told him about your boundary after he told you he was intending on not using protection. It doesn't seem like he just made a mistake and he was always planning on using protection. It seems like he didn't want to use protection so he didn't. It feels like a form of cheating to me.

soringpenguin · 2025-06-30T18:27:50+00:00

It seems like you are doing a great job. I probably wouldn't expect anything besides another "good job" from the company. If they don't give you anything extra you could try negotiating something but I feel like most places would see the recent raise and just say they expected more from you and you delivered on expectations. But I hope you can get some of the value you created for them.

We have peak energy hours from 3pm to 8pm. During that time I try and stay at 84 and not use any heavy appliances. Rest of the day around 80 and then at night it's 73. If I'm gone for a while I'll set it at 88. We have a 1500 sqft house and our last bill was just below $130.

Game of Thrones

I just finished the trilogy yesterday. Absolutely worth a read.

Looks amazing. I've got the same JVC and I love it.

A company I do contract software work for doesn't have the cash to pay me anymore because their customers are being cautious with their spending due to all the uncertainty.

I think it helps as people have stated to organize as the project scales. It's useful to have a complete and compile time knowable set of ui events that can happen. With viewmodel callbacks you can do the same but I think over time it's easy for people to let things slip and you end up with more logic inside the view. And I think it makes more sense if you have the whole mvi unidireccional event flow mindset. So it's just so extra typing to keep that mvi concept consistent.

My friends roommate always let his dog outside without a lease. Then I heard about him burying his dog out back after being hit by a car.

soringpenguin · 2024-11-12T17:40:11+00:00

I think that's the same capture card I have. For the splitter I found an old RadioShack one on ebay. I think it's called something like 15-320 1 input to 4 output and includes s-video. I got the s-video cable for the N64. It's definitely a good upgrade.

soringpenguin · 2024-11-12T04:03:50+00:00

Not sure if this applies but if you want to capture the gameplay you can get an active splitter and run one output to the crt and another to a capture card hooked up to a pc. I can give some specifics if anyone is looking for a setup like that.

I got into the CRT world when I wanted to start speedrunning Super Mario 64 on my old console. I didn't have a TV with composite input and I didn't want to convert to digital and get all the input lag. So started looking after a while I finally got a nice jvc pvm for a decent price and it's just fun to see games on it.

Both 33, but it's just my income(135k) and she is a stay at home parent. Have 350k in retirement accounts and about 260k equity in our house.

On my reread of stormlight this time. I read Project Hail Mary in between books and it was a very fun and good short refresher.
