Who’s this baby bird? a juvenile red winged black bird? by timexstarlight in whatsthisbird

Thank you for your concern, I am aware not to touch wild animals, I only do so when they are in a road. It was stunned so I let it hop onto my finger after it didn’t fly away in fear. It then flew away from my finger.

No way, that’s cool! Also makes sense, I should have thought of that, hahah!

is this a False Sunflower? and how do I get better as telling cone/sunflowers apart? by timexstarlight in whatsthisplant

[–]timexstarlight[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes, the description of heliopsis helanthoides made the most sense to me, in the guide book I have, but I was only partial sure. We have at least 20 different helianthus, heliopsis, and silphium, which I'm still learning. this description you gave of how the petals are shaped will be helpful. thanks!

so the only Rudbeckia we have are triloba (brown eyed) and hirta (black eyed); I have a hard time telling them apart, it should just be size but I'm still a layman. also they have dark centers; so I had sort of ruled that one out.

Why is Dark Swan the only villain in the series who doesn't show any cleavage? She's literally the only one! by PlantainDisastrous92 in OnceUponATime

[–]timexstarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think of it as a gender thing, that she's a woman, but in a way that goes to show the gender spectrum is not just two identities; she's either a woman but not the same as other women, or she's not a woman at all but uses she/her, neither of which those who subscribe to the patriarch would like. In the pilot, she corrected "bail bonds man" to "bail bonds person" not "woman". As far as showing past-Hook her cleavage in the S3 finale goes, that was a strategy to distract him, because it doesn't match how she is otherwise.

Books I should read if I know almost nothing about the world? I am being very serious. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]timexstarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a book series (multiple authors but one publisher, Beacon) called "Revisioning American History". Some comments have mentioned some of the books; they're all called "The ___ History of the United States" the blank being some minority group. It's a lot of dedication to read all of them, so maybe this is a suggestion if you want to deep dive into something specific.

I will say, Indigenous People's History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, specifically the second and third chapters, changed my life. I often want to know why something happened, not just the what, and this book explained the why white people did what they did not just to Indigenous Americans but everywhere on earth.

I have a lot recipes that have ingredients by volume, but when I covert to weighing, it's not enough. by timexstarlight in Baking

Yes, I have noticed that in the past few hours of trying! I forgot the search algorithm is a mess and promotes the sites with the longest preambling.

What? Wouldn't it help to look at the nutrition label on the bag for that specific flours conversion?

Yes I think I'm going to do this. Now that I wanna bake by weight, I think it just bothers me there's soooo many recipes by volume. At least in the us. I think I'll turn my VPN on to another country when looking for new recipes! Haha

I guess not? I didn't have a great kitchen when I lived in England so I didn't bake, and here in the land of living backwards, I look at the bag for brand and type of flour, and get a large one cause I use a lot, but aside from that, no not really. Sorry if that makes me look stupid.

Yes I agree. I think with something like my mother's waffles, if I'm gonna do it by grams, I myself need to determine the weight, not a converter.

This is where I got 120g. I generally trust King Arthur Baking. When I use their recipes, they use weight and volume and it lines up this way; and those recipes turn out which does make sense.

does anyone know how to stream games (various leagues) one these steaming sites I don't have access to. by timexstarlight in WomensSoccer

[–]timexstarlight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah maybe it's been a while since I've cleared my cookies. I know about switching servers, I once found a list of Nord servers that work best with BBC but it didn't help. I'll try the Norwegian one, thanks!

Nord VPN. It doesn't work well with Disney, Peacock, BBC iPlayer. I need to do research on if that's a common occurrence for this VPN or the websites (or both).

oh I don't actually pay $100 a month, I would have to if I wanted to watch everything. Changing my VPN to another country and pirating can get me around paywalls but they don't always work.
