Hah, I figure I do bother some people with my block of posts, but 1) I put all my posts up and breakfast so people have all day to ask me questions and I have all my down time at work to answer them so you get quick replies before you forget you even asked something, and 2) if seeing 3-5 owl photos is a row is that big a deal, congrats on having no real problems! 😜

I really do feel that way I do it is an advantage for anyone who develops a real interest in the content. It works for me in a way that it isn’t a burden to do it every day, and you get my mostly undivided attention to reply to you.

I’ve gone to a Coldstone (ice cream shop) and the guy working there was just giving out free ice cream to everyone because he hated to store so much.

Another time I was at the conveyer belt sushi chain, and you’re supposed to get a gacha egg out of the machine after so many plates go into the return, but it was jammed up. Told the girl at the counter and she just plopped up the bucket of eggs on the counter and told me to help myself as she doesn’t get paid enough to deal with the machine, so I grabbed a few Spy x Family trinkets.

Even in my job at a pharma campus, most of us are contract workers who don’t get the benefits the actual big company employees get, and a lot of my equipment i need is broken. I keep equipment running with my role, but I have to ask for favors or supplies from other contractors at times so I can actually get stuff done. From being old enough to see the last glimmers of old school places that rewarded long term employees to seeing how every place seems to be run today, I don’t blame the kids for bringing some anarchy to the workplace. At least I get paid a decent wage to be miserable. They don’t, and having worked those retail and foodservice jobs myself, they probably work harder than I have to here.

It took me a lot of years to learn my jobs don’t give a damn about me, so while there is a twinge of sadness to seeing them that broken on jobs so early, I’m also glad they’re not under some false impression that working extra hard for free or putting the company first will get them somewhere.

I don’t know if I need this, as I felt everything was done pretty well as it was in 0 and Kiwami 2, but since all the characters and actors are so good with these roles, I definitely want to see it.

I’d be a bit annoyed if this isn’t eventually a free patch to the PlayStation, and I don’t know if I’d pay for it, but having this a Nintendo exclusive permanently seems an odd decision.

Oh wow. I had no clue there were so many that inexpensive now. Thank you!

Huh… I watched a basic review on it and that seems somewhat intriguing. It looked faster than expected, decent basic features, and he says parts availability is good. I may have to put this on the wishlist… Thanks for the tip!

I check periodically, but I don’t see anything within an hour of me. It’s a shame, as I’m in the more populated part of my state, between the biggest and third biggest cities and I read about these places and feel I’d really enjoy them.

I have a milk frother for example, that burned out its stupidly non resetting thermal fuse because it got put on the base, something bumped the start button with nothing in and it burnt out. I’d love to have someone show me how to locate that bit and replace it, but I dunno where to go for that.

Same with the 3D printer. I can afford one, but at this stage of life I’d rather someone give me a hands on run through and give me some of their wisdom from experience than me playing around and getting frustrated until I get it right.

Thank you! I’ll have to keep that in mind! It seems like a thing that would be useful to have access to. There are always little things where I think it would be cool if the local library or hardware store had a printer for things that don’t seem like they’d be worth shipping but nice to have like pen refill adapters for instance.

That was my first thought, but it seems easier to run a few thousand more off the assembly line and make the original part than I’d think to have at least one person develop an adequate 3D part for an items that wasn’t originally designed to be 3D printed.

Even for a relatively simple item like the trimmer guard shown, as someone who used those on their whole head for many years, they need to have decent rigidity coming from a number of angles so it cuts evenly, so someone needs to design a decent print, find what types of stock provide the right durability, flex, etc.

So it’s doesn’t sound that free for them or quick, but it’s much cheaper than distribution for a bunch of random parts that may never get used.

I’m curious to see long term effects if this catches on. Will more original parts be made with 3D printing if they need to design prints anyway?

The big downside is even if this were available, I don’t have a printer. I don’t know anyone with one. I don’t know where I could go to (?) rent time on one. So to me at the moment, this is as useful to me as no available replacement part! 😅

Glad you enjoy all the different owls!

I did join up with the local rehab center this year. After promoting it every day, it didn’t feel right if I did not participate directly myself. Last year I also had another commenter tell me the community got them to join their rehab center, so we’re making a small positive change in the world.

I’ve been learning a lot there and get to see many adorable animals up close. Here is our newest owl patient:

The spearfishing minigame in Y6 was way more fun than I’d expected it to be!

My whole family played the heck out of Super Black Bass! Probably the best fishing I’ve ever had in a game.

They are super cute! We’ve got 2 at the clinic now just a smidge bigger than these.

They got to do a cute Easter egg hunt enrichment yesterday, of course not when I was there. 😒

Oh, very nice. I also go deer hunting for much the same reasons.

I deleted my reply after I saw that comment, but since you replied, I undeleted it.

Even adult animals shouldn’t just be released wherever. We had someone last weekend want to bring in a fox, but they didn’t really want it to get released back to their property since they have chickens. They told the person it’s not like you can just toss an animal wherever. They have families, some species don’t do well alone, and if you drop them someplace different than where they’re from it’s not like they magically know where food, water, or shelter are to be found. How well would any of us do dropped in a random place we’ve never been with none of our stuff?

Rehabbers don’t charge you if you bring them an animal. You can even text them a pic and they can say bring it in or they’ll come get it or just put it back where you found it. If we came upon a human in distress we wouldn’t try to treat them or diagnose them on our own (hopefully!) so why do so many want to do that to a random animal?

It’s good you at least tried to talk some sense into them! Animals are fragile in some ways, but still amazingly strong and adaptable at the same time. Good luck, little bun!

I’m new to rehabbing this season, but when they showed us the baby rabbit room on our tour, they said the door is only opened twice and day and you’re not supposed to talk in there because babies rabbits are very susceptible to dying from stress.

This rabbit looks bigger than most of the ones in there, but if they want it to have the best chances of living and not getting too tame and unable to survive in the wild, it should go to a rehab ASAP.

Also how many people will potentially suffer before another one comes forward and gets taken seriously? 🤨

Nevertheless, the judge refrained from passing sentence. “It is undeniable that he passed the line of what is permissible. The man showed a lack of respect for the victim’s physical, psychological and sexual boundaries.

I don’t know how they do it over there, but where I’m from, those are 3 things someone should probably respect if they’re going to be placed in a position requiring great trust like a doctor…

I do look to have made it to your feed now! It deleted my 3 posts that were photos with short blurbs and kept my news article that is mostly text.

We rarely get the meme type posts, but if your setup is looking at anything like text:photo ratio, that could be doing it.

I have most meme communities block myself, so I understand how overtaking they can be to a feed. 😁

I’m interested in what you’re doing because I am interested in news and politics, but it would be nice to get rid of most of the garbage US news and the dupe posts, and let a better variety of news come in. I’ve gone to keyword blocking, but while I have “Trump” blocked, I’d still like to see things from other countries about their responses to his actions., for example.

I was curious what would happen to the ratio of political posts, specifically Trump/Elon, to other communities, but it feels >= the amount as All on lemmy.world.

None of my superb owls look to have made it through, but I didn’t see them removed in the mod log. We’re a pretty large community, so I’d have thought some would have gotten through. I don’t recall if I saw stuff from any of the animal comms.

A data mining community bought it in 2022.

It made a lot of users upset and they moved on. I still us it. I paid for it, it did everything I want, and it’s sent a whole 25kb of data so far this year. I haven’t seen any actually evidence they’re doing anything nefarious with it.
