As a kid who grew up on a 1000-acre farm in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors, i occupied myself by having odd pets. I raised 3 crows and 2 raccoons. Best pets ive ever had. My crow would follow me everywhere, including when I'd drive the ATV miles down the dirt road. They'd come when called, and would either land on my outstretched arm or, painfully, my head and get tangled in my hair 🤣 My raccoons purred like cats and would pat all over my face with their hands and always try shove their hands into my nostrils or my mouth, scavenging for goodies I guess 🤣❤️

@Debbie-henri Ай бұрын

@@troy3456789I agree. When people feed birds or animals, the animals won't rely on their own hunting/foraging instincts so much, always sure of a meal; and when their human 'feeder' dies or moves, it can impact heavily on local creatures that have become dependent over generations. The very best thing you can do for wild creatures is to plant flowering and berrying trees and shrubs. The flowers attract insects at a useful time of year, to feed chicks, and the berries will see them right through late Summer and Autumn months, fattening them up for winter or prior to migration. Best of all, no matter what happens to you, the trees and bushes usually remain (of course, unless a lawn-slave moves onto your property and digs everything up).

We did try to use it to make things rust faster, that was a lot harder than we thought though. The problem was in the fact that the room temperature around it made the oxygen turn into its gasious state fairly quickly so we lost a lot of it trying to apply it to iron. We didnt have a cryogenic chamber which would allow the oxygen to stay liquid for much longer. In such a chamber we might have succeeded in rapidly rusting iron

Number 31. I've experienced this phenomenon strongly. As the weather starts to warm up, there comes a time where all of a sudden it just "smells like spring." I can't describe that sensation any other way. Every year, when I first smell spring, I get very strong flashbacks to the first time I tried and became addicted to cocaine. These are intense flashbacks, to the point where my mind will trick me into remembering the essence of ether/acetone even when it's not there. The first few days of spring are a yearly struggle for me as I continue to cling on to my sobriety from the thing that used to control me

"Eye color can indeed influence light sensitivity and vision under different lighting conditions due to the varying amounts of melanin in the iris. Melanin is a pigment that gives color to our eyes, hair, and skin. People with blue eyes tend to have less melanin in their irises, which can make their eyes more sensitive to light and potentially give them a slight advantage in low-light or night-time conditions. However, this does not necessarily mean they have better night vision overall. On the other hand, people with brown eyes have more melanin in their irises, which can help reduce glare and enhance vision in bright conditions. The increased melanin content in brown eyes can improve contrast discernment, making people with darker eyes potentially have better vision in high-glare situations, such as driving at night. However, it’s important to note that these differences are generally minor and other factors, such as overall eye health and individual variations, can also significantly impact vision. More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between eye color and vision capabilities"

They are great for getting rid of bed bugs as well. I had to deal with that one time. It was horrible. The dam things are very good at hiding. A stupid tenant brought them in with him knowingly. He was a slob so be kicked him out and them we discovered the bed bugs since they left his room looking for a new home. They got into my bed and my mom's bed. Super hard to kill. We used diatomaceous as one of the tools along with propping the bed up on these cups that trap them. We had to go further and get a bed bug company to bring in heaters since they can't handle higher temperatures. The whole ordeal took months to get rid of them and it was expensive. Horrible experience to go through. Had a close call another time. A female hitched a ride on me from another apartment. I was able to find that one on the side of my bed and kill it after a few nights of getting bites. Glad it was only one, I did not want to deal with that again.

It was something we used to used as a test of strength to either rip in two with our bare hands, after searching for an hour to find the number for one shop we wanted to contact and see if they were stocking something we needed, only to get a disconnection tone when we rang and thus, sent back deep inside the pages of false hope and wrong numbers... - or interleave every page of and challenge people to separate by pulling apart with trucks with no luck (MB's 😉)

Atoms are not mostly empty space. Those tiny electrons exist in a superposition. The image we imagine as an atom is how the atom would appear once observed, and all of the orbiting electrons were locked into a single position.

@oskarskalski2982 Ай бұрын

Exactly, look for atom orbitals and you're see that those shapes are very different from what is commonly thought. Those shapes are calculated from Schroedinger equation and it's a probability of finding electron in given place. So inside of atom is not an empty space but a Hillbert space of probabilities derived from Schroedinger equation.

Number 33, my guess is homeostasis. All the shrinkage covering and restricting capillaries keeps the blood closer to your center of mass (and organs). Water is an excellent conductor of heat. Shrinking the outermost blood supply of your skin may help protect you from rapidly overheating or falling into hypothermia when exposed to liquid.

Science AND morality make the world go round (or rather steadily progress, without collapsing into chaos). The problem is, we find ourselves in an age where apparently a huge number of people think morality is entirely subjective and we no longer have any cohesive basis. It's not going well.

@nealjroberts4050 Ай бұрын

Morality IS subjective. There's nothing to indicate it's independent of our thoughts and feelings. History shows moral values aren't static either. History also shows that attempting to force a particular moral code often results in immoral acts by the enforcers.

@ruthlessadmin Ай бұрын

@@nealjroberts4050 I didn't say it wasn't subjective. The important takeaway is that we've lost cultural cohesion. History shows that is usually the precursor to civil wars and/or revolutions, which more often than not, leads to periods of extreme oppression & atrocity.

Said crow happily climbed on my arm; I took the little mite into the entry for a bit of overnight protection and put some seeds and grains there. Next day, went out into the street and said crow was then able to fly back up, from my raised arm. Parents were in close proximity. Pity I can't post the photos on here.

Crows are one of the, if not the, smartest species of birds I've come across. I'm an American and as such I've seen many hawks and eagles. Both one might assume to be smarter than crows... Not even close! Crows have a social structure not prevalent in most species of birds. I've watched a large number of sea birds as well and believe it or not, a close runner up might be the Pelican. However, I've never witnessed Pelicans working together or utilizing tools; both of which the Crow has long ago mastered.

My wife and I had an eerie situation with crows back in 1997. We were enjoying our lunch at one of our favorite spots in Eugene Oregon, USA, and my lovely bride Wonderfully made the mistake of throwing a French fry to the lone crow in the immediate area. Elsewise a long story short(because Everyone knows that Simon is impatient) within less than 5 minutes there were 75-100 crows and we could see dozens more coming in! I told my wife "I'm thinking that they call a group of crows a 'murder' for a reason. Chuck the rest of your fries, and let's get the Hell outa here!". It was pretty freaky. By the time we made it back to the car....there had to have been close to 100 of those devil birds.

A friend of mine nursed an injured crow back to health as a child and it became her friend for life. It helped wake her up in the morning so she wasn't late for school and would hang out with her and around her. Her older brother would tease her and the crow, and was kind of a bully. So, when they all walked to school the crow would dive bomb him the whole time. It got so bad he wore a football helmet while walking the school and the other kids made him of him for it. As it turns out, crows make wonderful friends and terrible enemies.
