For all your owl related needs!
I love some of these older, circa 1950s home where everyone came back from the war and decided that since they could handle Germany that they could handle building a house between them and all their brothers.
I admire their spirit at least, if perhaps not their electrical skills!
My workplace has been going through some remodeling and I’ve been spending time shooting the breeze with the electricians especially, and they will spend countless hours giving their opinions on the work of the previous contractors!
The type of conduit used vs what they would have run, the number of cuts and fittings used, etc. They tell me about going into the local Walmart and judging the wire runs there. I have no doubt the residential ones are judging people’s TV installs when they’re in someone’s house! 😆
It seems like healthy fun though, I’ve never seen anyone actually say anything real negative. Now when they mention the carpenters paying no mind to how the electrical will need to go, then that’s where it gets dirty!

For real, I never gave much thought to the time content creation takes before I feel into this. My work has good chunks of downtime while I’m waiting for equipment to be ready or me being on standby so it works out. I probably spend as much time on this as actual work most days.
Lemmy 0.19 or whatever it is sorta does an algorithm where there is a weighted active sort or something along those lines. I’m guessing like a post on a comm with 5000 subs with 50 comments is ranked about the same as a post in a comm with 50 subs and 5 comments. So I hear anyway, World hasn’t rolled it out yet due to smaller instances having issues when it first came out and they didn’t wanna trash the biggest instance for not super significant upgrades until more bugs were worked out.
I couldn’t tell you exactly how the regular active sort works, I just default to New on all comms and occasionally glance at Top 6 Hours on All.
This research is more just an observation, it’s like 3 paragraphs. I’ll post the one pic in the morning and the research one at lunch. The other pic I think is a little better so I’ll hold onto that a bit. I got a quick Owl-natomy in reserve too for a day where I can’t find anything to post. Switching to an app with drafts has been such a huge help so I can prepare things in advance.
Found the post. It looks like it’s onigiri@lemm.ee that has it. Here’s one of the regular commenters, and he gives a link in his comment here:
I’ve only seen the Flicker twice in about 15 years of living here so I get very excited when I catch him.
That’s why I tell people to comment even if it’s just like “oh that’s really cool. I learned something.” The talon post was huge and took a week to write and was huge, so I wrote one or 2 more and people were all quiet, so all I’m left with to think is I guess nobody was interested or it was too long, etc. If I can do a funny pic with a 2 sentence caption that gets the same or better reaction than me writing a paper after spending a day reading a research paper and collecting citations, guess which posts you’re gonna get! 😆
I’m reading the stuff regardless, but I don’t wanna be the person all day talking to themselves! I want to interact with the people of the group. We got almost 3k subs now, but there’s maybe a dozen of you that talk to me, which I appreciate! But I wish it was a bigger chunk of the people.
Like I said in my SuperbOwl wrap up, I may be the one posting every day, but you guys are equally important to the community because you guys interacting is what keeps me motivated to make the posts. Even my quickest posts probably take 15-30 minutes of scrolling to find a story, writing a summary, and uploading pics. The benefit to me is zero, cuz I’ve already seen it. I do it to get you guys excited, and I want to see that excitement or I don’t know it’s there.
Ok, rambling on now so I’m donnnnnne.
I got a fun Barred Owl pic, a fun Hawk Owl pic, and some new quick owl research in my drafts folder. Which one do you want to see tomorrow?
I’m glad I’m still considered educational and not just a weirdo! 😜
Owls have been around for millions of years and are very adaptable, so there are many cool variations and unique behaviors and more. There are over 250 species of owls alive today, and since they are reclusive and nocturnal, they’ve historically been hard to study, so we’re still learning new things about them all the time.
I’m still thinking about that BirdPi that data maps the bird calls automatically. I wonder if it can pinpoint habits of my rare visitors like the Northern Flicker to increase my chances of seeing it.
Same here. I’ve probably done over a dozen stays now. I just always book with a Super Host or whatever they call them, check their rules and fees over a few times, and most places I stay, the owner lives there on the same property.
I like it because I figure people won’t ignore things like bedbugs in their own full time living space, I like getting to know them and their tips for what to check out and where to eat. I like meeting their pets! And it makes it feel like you’re staying somewhere in particular, not in a generic space that could be anywhere in the world, it is one unique spot that is nowhere else.
I do agree with the problems it can cause in communities. My neighborhood isn’t Airbnb homes, but due to many foreclosures, we do have a lot more rentals and it does have a different vibe, so I can empathize with that. But I have only stayed at one that the host didn’t live on site. That is in a middle of nowhere place in a very rural area I’ve been visiting by entire life though, and most of the already not great hotels in the area have closed.
I wouldn’t not ever stay in a hotel, but I try to go to unique places and I feel the experience I seek out on Airbnb adds to my traveling.
I’ve been using Kiwi for the last few years, as at the time Firefox didn’t do extensions on mobile. It’s Chromium based, and I’ve had no issues using it anywhere.
