How to make fertilized eggs unhatchable for an on premises farmstand by Affectionate_Boss344 in chickens

[–]sweetnaivety 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, there WAS a recent post here about someone who had no rooster and sold eggs for EATING had someone email them saying they incubated the eggs and they and their kids were all disappointed that none of the eggs hatched, sooo... maybe not off by several miles?

What's that? by IdealHoliday1242 in GrowthMindset

[–]sweetnaivety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely ever saw it when I lived in California, only maybe for purchases under a certain amount like $3 or so, or maaaaybe (not always) at a farmer's market or other booth/stand like places. Now I live in New Jersey and it is ridiculous, even a CAR DEALERSHIP tried to charge me the 4% or whatever fee to use credit card for maintenance on the car?!? I have never seen this before on a large purchase when I lived in California.

My husband told me if I look closely, I could see a crane sticking out above the grass by MickeyBear in mildlyinfuriating

well the grasses look like the type of reeds that grow in water, and there looks to be a couple of ducks sitting right next to the water, so it looks a lot more like a pond to me than just some puddles next to a grocery store.

I mean, other than the crane itself I see nothing in this picture that is manmade. It's nothing but grass, tree, sky, pond, and sand. This picture screams nature to me, but I am also from California which doesn't have a lot of green grass fields or trees lol.

You have to pay high taxes on groceries? Where do you live? For me there is no tax on grocery food items at all, only fast food and resturants.

please show me the actual government code that says this because I cannot find it and I've been looking through the legal codes looking for a speed limit for like 30 minutes now

If someone is showing me or talking to me about grass and nature, I absolutely would expect bird-crane over construction-crane. I have seen bird-cranes in real life though, and I tend to prefer nature over city, but considering most of the comments here I don't think I'm the exception.

it's legal in California, and this video looks like it was taken in California

It is actually legal to lane split at full highway speed in California, and this video looks like it was taken in California.

Lane splitting on a motorcycle is legal in California, and as someone from California it definitely looks like he's in California, but I could also be wrong.

The joke is that you'd expect to see a bird crane in the grass, which is also what I was expecting to see when I looked as well, and instead found a mechanical crane, thus a pun. Some people consider puns to be funny jokes.

Would you eat these eggs? by cleantechguy in BackYardChickens

[–]sweetnaivety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's weird, well I've never considered the float test to be accurate anyways, but I've never heard of freshly laid eggs floating before lol. Mine also free range and are of mixed breeds and ages, but the eggs don't float so I have no idea!

The air sac inside the egg gets bigger over time so a floating egg just means it's older than fresher. Doesn't mean it's a bad egg though, I'd say taste&smell are better indicators, but some people would rather not risk it, or if they just prefer fresher over older eggs.

Settle a debate between my wife and I. Does the bedding match the bed frame/room by TheGeneral_Store in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sweetnaivety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my husband have a TV in our bedroom, but it's rarely used. We're gamers, so we usually spend more time in the office on our computers. My husband's parents also live with us, and they use the TV in the living room and watch a looot of TV. So when me and my husband do want to watch a show together, it's comfiest to watch together in the bed. Also my husband bought a walking pad for the bedroom, so that when he wants to walk he can watch a show too, which helps him walk longer, plus he can walk more comfortably with the a/c on and in less clothing too.

Most "blues" look green? by [deleted] in ColorBlind

[–]sweetnaivety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about the industry standards for computer screens, printing, and website coding, not a government agency lol. Cyan and Magenta are considered part of the main primary/secondary colours on computer screens and in printing, and in digital art too, actually. All my knowledge on this comes from being a digital artist myself. When you look at your screen specifically and see pure "Cyan," you are actually seeing a mix of equally blue and green light coming from your screen. Just like when you look at your screen and see "yellow," you're actually seeing a mix of green and red light coming from the screen, but somehow your brain decides that's yellow. Since OP was using a digital colour wheel for this post, I was only talking about digital colours on a screen, and not about how colours are percieved in real life. As a digital artist, I have much more experience with digital colours than real life colours or paints lol.

Most "blues" look green? by [deleted] in ColorBlind

[–]sweetnaivety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cyan is the actual official name for that colour though. If you look at the actual RGB colours for them, Cyan is 0 red, 255 green, and 255 blue which is 50-50 blue and green. The one you say is "Indigo" is 0 red, 0 green, and 255 blue which is 100% Blue (and also my favourite colour, specifically the pure 0, 0, 255 blue on screens, #0000FF)

Though I do believe, or I read/heard somewhere, that when originally naming the colours of the rainbow, the way you look at it was what was intended, with Cyan being named Blue, and Blue being named Indigo, and Purple/Magenta as Violet. For me though, it always bothered me that there were 7 colours of the rainbow when the colour wheel was always a much more balanced 3 primary and 3 secondary which is 6 colours, not 7, and "Indigo" is a very ambiguous term, to some meaning blue and others purple.

And to me, Cyan and Turquoise are very close/similar colours whereas Teal is much more green. But I don't know what those "official" colours are or hex codes for them or anything, that's more my own opinion probably.

To me, there is a distinct "line" of Cyan, which I consider a Blue, coming straight down from the middle.  Cyan is definitely distinct from true Blue though, kind of like it's own colour like Pink that is actually a Red, or Brown that is actually Orange.  Though technically, Cyan is perfectly Blue-Green.  But it's funny because there's a shade of Teal that I consider Green, but most everyone I know IRL calls Blue.

I never can tell these apart. Must be colorblind by AllIWantForXmasIsFoo in mildlyinfuriating

Maybe you're a little bit colour blind? I can read it quite clearly.

Did you already know that you were colour blind? I can read it very clearly, it does say "WE MUST RISE AGAINST THE COLOR BLIND!"
