I post videos of an incredibly niche hobby. I cut my videos to what I think is interesting and I will go back and watch them, but not many other people make videos like mine so I don’t watch many others. Getting video is difficult so a lot doesn’t turn out well. It’s also much more fun in person.

In the USA parks are different than reserves or forests. National Parks has the stereotypical park ranger and guides, plus usually lodging and visitor centers and stuff. There are also national forests which probably have some trails and stuff but it’s mostly “here’s some land, good luck out there”. There are also wildlife preserves and stuff.

Here’s a full map of USA federally owned lands:

But ya, there still isn’t a huge amount of federal land in the east. I think the federal government got a lot stronger moving out west.

My HP laserjet 1320n is over 20 years old. Every 6-8 months I have something to print and it does it like a champ. I can even print to it from my phone. Idk the last time I put toner on it.

My 5a just shut off while I was using it and wouldn’t turn back on one month after warranty period. Google was going to deny a replacement until I bitched that each previous pixel I had had died or became unusable and I was going to move to iphone. They gave me a “one time exception” and sent me a replacement. I traded it for a 7 but if this one dies I’m done.

I think I just saw an article saying that dog mode is currently broken lol

It’s not a meme, people genuinely get upset about this. There was a post on a lemmy about the Comptia A+ study guide that had the question “What is GNU” with the answer of “It has to do with Linux” and people were writing essays on why this was not correct.

It’s because it counts as an aircraft. Getting licenced to use your drone for anything more than “wooo, flyin mah drone” covers a lot of the same stuff a private pilot would know like reading the maps, airport landing procedure, and airspace. They treat it like an actual airplane. And you can’t just start blasting at airplanes because they flew over your house. If it’s doing more than just flying over it has to be addressed legally.

There is an edit, ebussy is referring to a gnome developer.

I looked through my email, they first asked me in February 2022.

Idk, if it’s between believing you or Daft Punk I’m choosing Daft Punk every time. https://youtu.be/pKQp61e94VE?si=cavylm8hO3JdDhum

Phlebotomists in some states don’t need any training. None. If you’ve ever given blood in one of those states this is probably not surprising to you.

That’s some oblivion on xbox shit right there. Hide a restart with a loading screen.

I complained enough at my work about this that we shut off fast boot domain wide. I haven’t had to have a “I know that you just turned your computer on but I need you to restart it. No, not shutdown and turn on, restart. Yes, they are different things.” conversation in a couple years. Funnily enough I haven’t seen anyone complain about the significantly longer start up times. I guess people just expect that from windows lol.

Lots of Peace winners, but Winston Churchill had one in literature:

Falconry can involve tons of different skills. Mews (aviary) and giant hood (travel box) can use carpentry. Hoods/other gear -> leather working. Bells -> metallurgy. Perches -> metalwork and woodturning. Drone / kite flying maybe depending on bird. One guy makes his own telemetry. Lots of designing for the many little things needed. Almost everything needed is handcrafted or repurposed from something. I use 3d printing for my giant hoods, whistles, and anklet templates. Also like, animal training and hunting stuff for the raptor.

But falconry is not a casual activity, it’s truly a lifestyle. Because of that, there are a lot of falconer couples, or, divorced falconers. So uh, make sure your partner is really into it before going in deep.

Hawks used by falconers wild up very quickly after release. Heck, every falconer has had their bird act similar to what you described here after messing up a free flight. It’s probably just a hawk that has acclimated to people though. It would be really rare to find a released bird.

Yes. I’ve seen a religious person on their death bed saying that they have lived long enough and are ready for god to take them.

Before the 2016 election when thedonald was in full swing on Reddit, I thought it would be good to get both sides and entertained it for a while. What I got were the most vitriolic, ignorant, and disingenuous headlines and comments clogging my feed. So ya, I blocked it. If a huge part of a platform is pushing horseshit I don’t feel the least bit bad about blocking it.

I had a whole big bird I could put cassettes in:

Ya but I think you need to watch October Sky before that.
