Chris

I really like “The Last Samurai” despite Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise

I don’t like Tom Cruise but at this point I don’t even remember why. Is he a shit head?

Oh man I forgot. My mom had a yellow naped Amazon that hated he (for very good reasons sadly, I was a shithead child).

I still have scars all over from when that monster attacked me.

I remember it just chasing me while running on the floor lol.

She was an ornery old lady :)

Yeah you’re probably looking at. 60 year commitment.

The reported lifespan of Eclectus sp. varies widely, from ~20 years to more than 60 years. This range is largely due to their relatively recent popularity in aviculture, with many individuals in captivity having not yet reached their natural lifespan. Many owners of eclectus parrots have reported ages upwards of 45 years, noting their birds show no obvious signs of age-related health decline.

I love birds and want to get one again (had cockatiels) but they are a big commitment.

Things to think about:

• is there an avian vet close? Is it an emergency vet?
• what kind and how large of a cage do you need?
• what kinds of things in my house kill birds (I think hot Teflon pans)
• what am I going to do with them when I leave town?
• what am I going to do with them in an emergency
• how do they do in captivity alone? You may need to get them a companion

Just use the temp setting. AC already dehumidifies.

To could also get those bags of beads that absorb water and hang a few in the worst parts of the house. My mom has a fancy one that you can plug in to dry it out, but that just shifts the humidity unless you dry it outside.

Good point, didn’t think of that.

Dehumidifier mode probably runs forever regardless of temp.

Give me some examples and I can critique if you want. I have found Lemmy to be welcoming

Why do we care about the race of a made up wizard.

We should talk about how Harry Potter enriches a terf instead.

Hands are great but male sex toys are pretty good too.

If you have used a vibrator vs your fingers I imagine it’s kind of similar.

Also apparently Joss Whedon is a cunt :(

Rewatching old shows is painful. So much homophobia and sexism and racism was played for laughs

Thank you. I’m working with a psychiatrist and a therapist.

I’m gonna try semaglutide, it has some purported effects on addiction, but my PCP won’t let me in it until I get my drinking down first.

Fwiw my healthcare professionals haven’t diagnosed me with alcohol use disorder yet. I have ADHD and I think it makes me seek dopamine, however I can get it.

I drink beer almost every day. Rarely less than 3 beers, but sometimes over 6. I can’t buy a case of beer because I’ll wake up with a headache and 3/4 of it is gone.

I hate it but haven’t been able to get myself to stop.

2 beers a night for 3 nights isn’t that bad.

Alcohol is poison, none of us should drink any of it, but take a look at what it is doing.
Are you healthy? Are you showing up to your work and personal commitments? Are you driving drunk?

Absolutely get help if you’re in trouble, but don’t fret too much is my suggestion I guess.

The bronzes are so heartbreaking.

I thought Kashmir was run by a Hindu at the time and they chose to go with India rather than Pakistan.

Definitely we can blame imperialism for a lot but some of the disputed territory wasn’t Brittain’s fault, afaik

What is your sword? I have an Albion sharp that I’ve only cut with once.

In and out of the parking spot right?

What happens when you migrate from Jenkins? I’m currently in a multi year platform build using gitops and it is not mature and nothing fits together out of the box.

Just my experience.
As tools mature they will integrate easier but at the bleeding edge it still takes work. (Just trying to justify my existence I guess)

Me too. The illusion of choice is what makes life interesting I suppose.

In my opinion humans are biological machines reacting to stimulus based on previous experience.

If we could theoretically perfectly map the brain and understand it, we could predict what a person would do in response to a specific stimulus.

At least that is how I have come to understand my existence.

Doesn’t mean I am off the hook for my poor decisions either. I still have to make the decision, even if theoretically we already knew what I would do.
