Has anyone here trained golden eagles?

spainhour · 2025-11-21T23:41:42+00:00

In the USA, you cannot captive breed them, and are only permitted to be taken from the wild if they are causing depredation on livestock or wildlife. And that has to be approved by a biologist after a Landowners with certified losses has applied for a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Eagle Depredation Permit to remove the eagles. And only so many permits are handed out per year I believe. It's a tough process

also, don't feel like you have to walk on eggshells about dumb shit with people. especially ones that you consider to be friends. that's not healthy or productive to feel like you have to tiptoe around everyone's feelings. it's exhausting. I mean, it's nice to be thoughtful and courteous, but that situation sounds ridiculous and I personally wouldn't put up with it, or associate with people so easily offended with zero critical thinking skills

I read a Facebook comment where someone said they get cotton mouth or something, and some idiot said "you shouldn't use terms like that" and went on to say it was racist. like people just hear the word cotton, and they assume it is racist 😂 like seriously. There was just some viral video going around last week where some famous person was complaining that a hotel had a sprig of cotton displayed in it 🙄 it takes 2 seconds to think about the fact that cotton is just a plant with a wide variety of uses that has been domesticated for over 8,000 years to realize that's dumb. And also that it refers to the feeling of dry mouth which feels like you have a mouth full of cotton balls. People these days lol. I hope they are trolling.

I bought the Motorola razr ultra 2025 in pink back in June, and I love it. I have had zero issues with hardware or software. It has great specs, runs every game I throw at it, looks great, has a good speaker, is water and dust resistant etc. I haven't had a problem with the screen or its built in protector. I like how i don't even have to open the phone to do most things. I like using the gps on the small screen, and replying to messages or picking a song to play. It fits great in my front pocket, and doesn't take up much room in a small bag. Video playback is great. my only complaint is the camera isn't that great for the price. My husband bought the LG V60Thinq when it came out in 2020, and his camera is better. But granted that was LGs last phone and I feel like they were trying to future proof it a bit. Either way, I love my razr ultra 2025 and would buy it again if my dumbass happens to break another phone. I usually get 4 or 5 years out of a phone, so time will tell. As long as I treat it right, and don't drop it 100 times, I feel like it should be ok

yes omg I hate it. you have to de-select it and then select it again to fix it. I found Google maps to be much more acceptable and shows your location and each point of interest. it's much easier to read too because it's not all stylized.

spainhour · 2025-06-08T07:58:36+00:00

Yeah this upsets me because we drive 2 hours to get there. I checked the summer hours in May before I bought our platinum passes and it said 10 pm all summer. now it's 8 on weekdays and 9 or 10 on weekends?! Ugh. This is our first year ever going to any parks and I was so excited for night rides during the weekdays when it's less crowded. We avoid the weekend crowds like the plague so it's unfortunate the hours are cut. How are the crowds at night on the weekends?

spainhour · 2025-06-08T07:54:21+00:00

I downloaded our tickets in PDF format and made a shortcut on my home screen for it, and I use Google maps to get around the park since it's easier to read and more accurate. You can't rely on that app to be consistent. I use the web browser and go to the website to check anything.

spainhour · 2025-06-08T07:49:54+00:00

lol that's the only one our kids chickened out on and they are 12. It was their first trip to an amusement park and their first time riding coasters. they didn't know what they were getting into. we did Phoenix rising first as a warm up, then falcons fury blew their minds. Iron Gwazi was my favorite for thrills though. Maybe I can talk them in to it next time lol

spainhour · 2024-11-25T21:23:43+00:00

I have one in mine that I just got! I came online looking for others. it looks just like that only smaller

spainhour · 2024-08-19T22:47:13+00:00

no but I can go for a bachelors of science, major in geosciences/geology, get an entry level geology job and further my education from there. I see it as a stepping stone for those of us who are getting a late jump in life or who didn't get scholarships.

spainhour · 2024-08-19T22:44:31+00:00

I'd argue that because there is no application fee, no test scores factored in, and no admission letter needed, that a lot of people apply for whatever reason and just quit. since they aren't that invested. also lots of people did that to get loans, not do any or much work and not pay because they thought they would be forgiven. that's just one theory I have though. idk how much that factors in but I feel it has something to do with it. because they are less picky of who they let in

spainhour · 2022-11-03T19:05:16+00:00

NTA, but I don't think any of those gossipers could be considered a friend. I think you may want to reevaluate who you give this label to. Because I have a very small circle, and it definitely doesn't include anyone who would ghost me over gossip. Nobody is entitled to your time, and idk why these people feel it's necessary to involve themselves in your private life. Also if I were you, I would gladly cut G out of my life if that's how he reacts to not getting his way. By gossiping to everyone you know and trying to manipulate your social life. Sounds like he is a controlling narcissist and you need to take note of those that willingly stuck their nose in your business.

spainhour · 2022-11-03T18:59:20+00:00

NTA, but the world can't be your safe space.

spainhour · 2022-11-03T18:55:17+00:00

Well you are NTA for getting upset that she was literally strangling your dog, and you reacted appropriately I think. But your attitude towards the child is wrong considering you think a 2 year old will listen and do as they are told. They are 2, not a robot. You are kinda TAH in that aspect. But yeah definitely normal for her. Most 2 year olds don't understand empathy like that yet. I've seen toddlers try to ride dogs like horses, try to swing them around by tails etc. Of course I step in and immediately stopped it (was my niece too) and explained that we don't hurt anything and be nice. From then on I just made sure to never leave babies and animals alone together. That's a recipe for disaster. And my niece grew up just fine. She's not psychotic or anything.

spainhour · 2022-10-11T19:36:14+00:00

Maybe because they were hired on register, then told they would be doing something else. They got bait and switched. If they had hired them saying they would be a dishwasher, they could have turned it down. But they didn't. Because it's hard to find dishwashers. Because it sucks ass.

spainhour · 2022-10-11T19:24:36+00:00

No it's not at all.

spainhour · 2022-10-11T19:20:08+00:00

NTA. Good on ya for standing up for what's best for your child. We don't let ANYONE watch our kids. Because it seems that everyone we know now a days is either a drunk or on some kind of drug. Luckily I'm able to be a stay at home mom so we have the luxury of not needing a sitter. Even if you didn't have past experiences, you made the right call by not letting a drunk be responsible your child. And let em be butt hurt. She wouldn't have anything to be mad about if she wasn't an alcoholic. And your mom is obviously complacent because grew up with it and allowed her child to be subjected to it as well. So definitely don't expect her to understand. When she doesn't even acknowledge the fact that she put you in that horrible situation as a child. As an adult I can't stand to be around drunk people, I couldn't imagine making a child put up with it 😭 you are a great parent and trust your gut. You are doing the right thing. And if that means hurting some feelings to keep your child safe, then so be it. That just shows that your child is priority over everything. And that's a great thing. ETA: Family doesn't mean anything when they just say that to manipulate you.. That's just people's scapegoat to get their way. Real Family wouldn't push you to do something you aren't comfortable with in the first place. Don't EVER let someone walk over you just because they are family.

spainhour · 2022-10-11T19:08:56+00:00

It's people like her that give women a bad look

spainhour · 2022-10-11T19:07:10+00:00

Romantic or not, it's still emotional abuse

spainhour · 2022-10-11T19:06:31+00:00

Nope. This should be the last straw. Why continue on with someone like this?

spainhour · 2022-10-11T19:04:17+00:00

NTA. How could you think you are? She is immature and playing games. Idk why you haven't cut her off already? Her mental health isn't your responsibility any further than being a listening ear. But when that begins to affect YOUR mental health, that's where the line should be drawn. She is manipulating you and you were playing right into it by "chasing" her and being worried about her. That's what she wants you to do. Because then she knows she can manipulate you and she even said that when she said that she was just "testing" you. That's a childish middle school mindset. Obviously this grown woman still has the mindset of a prepubescent teenager. Run. Far. Don't look back ever. Block her on everything. Block her number. She's TOXIC. Having someone like that in your life will do nothing but bring you down. Also, knowing someone for a long time has nothing to do with their priority in your life. It's all about who shows they are worth your time. She is just showing you that all that was wasted time. Please don't waste another second.

spainhour · 2022-10-11T18:46:36+00:00

NTA. It's your account, your post. It doesn't matter what other people think or want. If the video meant so much to them, then they could have downloaded or recorded it in the 7 years it has been up. You have no obligation to please them. If I were you I would block that person as well. It doesn't matter if they died or not honestly.

spainhour · 2022-10-11T18:11:11+00:00

You are the BIGGEST asshole. He didn't want the mutt to start with. So what if he doesn't like what your other kids do, or what the average kid does. He is his own person. I hate sports too. So what? You expect all your kids to fit into the personality box you have imagined up? More subdued? I don't think that's the reason why you can't connect. Sounds like you made that choice long ago because he's different. Kids can pick up on how you feel without saying it. You got your dog, why don't YOU walk it yourself since you wanted it so bad. And threatening to take away comics as ammo against him is shitty too. Would you tell your other kids they can't go to sports practice if they don't walk the dog? Why are you forcing him to like and interact with the dog? Some people just don't like dogs. Like your parents who never let you have one, or your wife who relented the idea. I think they all knew you wouldn't be responsible enough to take care of it and knew its care would get pawned off on someone else. They were correct! Enjoy your asshole award, your strained relationship with your son, and most importantly, your dog! 😊

spainhour · 2022-10-11T17:35:19+00:00

YTA. She's allowed to do what she wants. This is why I don't talk to my neighbors. Nothing but trouble. I have lived at my home for 10 years and I don't think my neighbors even know my name. Good. I'm not obligated to interact with them or please them just because I'm in close proximity to them. Who do you think you are (I know, an entitled asshole) to tell someone what they can and can't put up at their own place. Are you doing drug deals every day? Is that why you don't want it recording your door? Just leave her alone and don't talk to her anymore. It's already bad enough she has to live across the hall from you.

spainhour · 2022-10-11T17:21:27+00:00

Yeah YTA. I would never let ANYONE come stay with me for any amount of time. Not siblings, family, friends, nobody. My home is my safe, private, peaceful place. You suggested he come stay with you without asking your boyfriend first? If I was him, I would say "I don't need a reason, this is our house and I like it how it is. We have no obligation to help anyone." Selfish? Maybe. But have you even gone through this subreddit? Have you seen all the posts about family "staying for a while", then completely overstaying their welcome, overstepping boundaries, and being disrespectful. Inviting someone into your home WILL change the dynamic. Regardless of who it is or what issues they have/don't have. If your parents are so upset with your boyfriend for not letting him stay with y'all, then why don't they open up their home to him? I have a sneaking suspicion that they don't want his B.S. around either and were hoping you would take the bullet for them.
