I love how owlets fluff up to poop. 😂 (I guess they need to balance themselves)

Tonight sitting in one of my favorite meadows, I heard a few crows making a ruckus off in the distance, remembering what a friend told me about investigating such noises because it could be a sign of an owl being around. After walking towards the ruckus and looking up in the trees there it was a Great Horned Owl. I was overwhelmed with joy!!!

It beeps when it's done.

It beeps when you place it on the base.

It beeps no more.

I classify this as a repair.

Saturated Barn owl drying its wings before flying off. Atherton August recently

Today’s game is some more Halo PvP. I took some friends with me into 8v8 lobbies. We had a friend who’s never played a PvP lobby before and was confident in his skills. We weren’t sure he could but didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm so we joined him for some matches. Kudos to him, he did pretty good. Nothing crazy but he did well for having only stuck to a private lobby before. It makes me feel a shred of pride, knowing in a way I’m partly responsible for training him to be that good.

Besides that, as always with Halo it was a blast. The round was at a stalemate the entire time and both sides barely kept up with each other to achieve a draw. We nearly got a push at the end but failed to make it in time. The entire game I got to dominate with a sniper too which was awesome.

We switched to 4v4 after that and we were dominating in that one too. We admittedly may have gotten a little too cocky though as we stopped killing the enemy team really and started chasing each other round. Like for example I stopped sniping to run from my friend with the Energy Sword who was chasing me with it. I got a few kills while running but they were less strategically planned and more so “oh shit. There’s an enemy in my way. I better kill them so I don’t get killed”. I feel like that’s what really captures the magic of Halo for me. It doesn’t just come out like a generic shooter. It has a cohesive balance of cool and moments of just fucking around with friends. It’s a blast.

Our last game that’s worth mentioning was fairly quick. I got to dominate with the sniper again in the watch tower and held that position almost all game. Our opponents were fairly skilled but they made the mistake of not watching for grenades.

I suppose our commupance though was due anytime. The next two matches after that we got absolutely destroyed by the enemy and it was as funny as it was frustrating. Still. That’s how public PvP games go I guess. I’d like to get friends together for a private PvP lobby again soon. So hopefully that’s something that will happen.

This is a common carbrain argument

"I already pay the gas tax"

The problem is that it's false.

In a recent study, researchers Stefan Gössling, Jessica Kees, and Todd Litman calculated the social costs of driving. They found that the social cost is about 30-40% higher than what car owners are actually paying

That cost is paid by non-drivers.

Very nice photos of another owl we typically think of as having black eyes. We don't often get the chance to check them out this closely.

Georgia’s youngest mayor, Jayden Williams, 23, was impeached over allegations of misusing $4,000 in city funds and sexting an 18-year-old.

I run a price tracker across ~25 EU hardware retailers (pricesquirrel.com). Same 153 GPU models, tracked daily for 90 days straight, no swapping products in or out.

For two months, basically nothing happened: €735 -> €750. Then over about 4 weeks, it jumped to €967, and it's been sitting there ever since, €972 today, three months later.

Everyone's talked about the shortage/price increases, I've read the same posts and articles as everyone else. But watching my own data confirm it, day by day, in real time, still doesn't make it feel any less like the market just decided this is the new price and moved on without asking anyone.

Methodology, since someone will ask: "price" here is each product's average across whichever 3+ retailers carried it that day, not the single cheapest price, not a shifting basket of whatever happened to be in stock. Same 153 SKUs tracked from day 1 to today

The EU expressed concern on Monday, September 14, about police raids targeting Turkey's LGBTQ+ community in which at least 60 people were arrested, urging Ankara to ensure respect for human rights. Turkish police on Sunday swooped on gay bars and the homes of LGBTQ+ activists in raids that the authorities said were aimed at boosting traditional family values.

Two weeks after equalpride CEO Mark Berryhill expressed “full confidence” in Jay Katari and told employees to prioritize meetings with him, the company halted those conversations.

“I can tell them, as someone who is trans and who every single day spends my day talking with people across the political and ideological divide, I can tell you that most people are good and decent and kind, and we are not as divided as the algorithms make it seem,” she said.

Data released by the Human Rights Campaign corroborates that statement. It found 85% of Americans think trans people deserve the same rights and protections as everyone else.
