    Not to say that the social programs are flourishing or anything, but it's worth noting that the tales of people eating dogs and cats in Springfield have been debunked and are unfounded rumors being perpetuated by Trump/Vance on a national stage.

    Exactly. This would have been excellent as a limited series, but I assume it was profitable so it outlived its premise.

    Stuff Made Here - blows my mind with each new video. I can't even imagine being able to dream up his creations let alone design and create them.

    Technology Connections - you didn't know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.

    Foureyes Furniture - interesting custom furniture design and build sequences with very good editing and voiceover.

    Marling Baits - Custom fishing lures that vary from lifelike (using real fish skin) to absurd (a lightsaber) to ultra absurd (a block of wood).

    Project Farm - head to head comparisons of common tools or other household projects. Very no nonsense and a ton of information packed in quick.

    Inheritance Machining - a man documenting rediscovering his passion for machining after inheriting his grandfather's machine shop. Excellent narrative scriptwriting, recurring video elements, buttery smooth voiceover, and oddly satisfying machining footage.

    I couldn't think of a specific song on that album, so I put it on for a listen. I wasn't familiar with the hardcore/punk style on War and Keys to the Kingdom. Funny enough, I had tickets to see them on this tour because Rise Against was their supporting act, but the tour got cancelled because Chester got sick. The pairing didn't make too much sense to me at the time, but now it makes more sense, even if it was at a time that Rise Against was losing a lot of their melodic hardcore background with Appeal to Reason. Collapse (Post-Amerika) still hit though.

    I was just hitting middle school when Hybrid Theory came out. My mom wouldn't let me buy it because of the repeated Shut Up lyrics in One Step Closer, but I loved the album and listened to it with my friends all the time. I didn't feel like Meteora hit as hard, and I really lost interest after Minutes to Midnight. Listening to them now, I still don't like much after the first few albums, but I've come around a bit to Meteora and honestly, Reanimation might be my favorite of the first three albums.

    I worry some that therapy has gotten into an industry where more people are interested in making profit than providing quality of care which has made a market where therapy can serve as a kind of yes man market as well. I definitely don't mean to belittle the benefit of therapy, but I know plenty of people who have shopped around therapists until they got one who said what they had already decided they wanted to hear as opposed to looking for a partner to work through specific issues with.

    Coopers and red tails are pretty distinctly different. Size is the first marker as red tails are significantly larger than coopers hawks. Also, coopers have very distinctive barred breasts and banded tails. You can also differentiate them through their wing profile; red tails are buteos and have a broad wing profile that is largely straight while coopers are accipitors and their wings are much more angular so that they can more deftly maneuver through wooded areas.

In the end I was able to explore long distances by carrying a portal with me and making a makeshift FOB in the entry way of putrid holes. I'm glad I beat it before the nerf, but I'll enjoy exploring Ashland's much more now.

    While I see your point, it hinges on voting for Hunter Biden in lieu of Trump. I can't say I would -- I know little of Hunter Biden's policy stances --, but I find it very far fetched to believe Hunter would get the nomination over another democratic politician, so it seems like the argument is pointless.

    I don't mean that every show is only worth two seasons, but I think a second season that focuses on Helly would be able to wrap things up nicely. I tend to prefer miniseries or 2-4 season shows, after that I really start to struggle with stories being forced for the sake of having an established audience, and I'd rather move on.

    Favorite Birding Experiences?

    I see predominantly picture posts here, but I wonder if text posts have a place too. I think it would be cool to share memorable birding experiences. A few come to mind for me. This spring I saw my first Whooping Crane. I grew up in the migration path and went looking every year. I'd seen millions of sandhill cranes. Hundreds of white spots that turned out only to be two snow geese flying together or a plastic bag waving on a corn stalk. This spring I visited my home town and it happened to be during the migration. My two year old loves birds, so I thought he'd like to see so many birds at once. Unfortunately he was more interested in sitting in the truck while I looked at birds. On the way back home, a quarter mile before getting on the highway, I saw a white spec in a field, pulled over in a farmers drive way and just knew it was it. Thirty years later, I'd finally found one. Crossing it off in the index of my Sibley's was one of the most cathartic experiences of my life. Another experience I love is the first time I saw California condors. My family visited the Grand Canyon, and I knew there was a chance to see them. When we got there they were flying so close and I couldn't even speak. My mom still tells of me pointing and saying "C-c-c-condors!". My grandma is the one that got me into birding. She took me on a trip to an eagle count at a lake a few hours away. We saw many eagles that day. I also saw a great horned owl in broad daylight, which I've yet to see again; I remember how yellow it's eyes were. At the end of the day we stopped at the dam and my grandma put her spotting scope on some mallards and other ducks sitting around a section of open water. While I was watching, an Eagle came up and flew right over the dam, only a few dozen feet over head, then swooped down and crushed the mallard in the spotting scope so easily. We stayed and watched it eat until it was run off by other eagles that came for an easy meal.

    My friend and I made a hardcore world this Monday and have been playing 6-8 hours daily, but have not had a single raid yet. We killed the first two bosses already. Maybe it's a bug with the pts? Maybe we're just incredibly lucky? I can't believe I'm asking for troll raids, but the leather would have been nice for armor.
