Oh - it seems other groups of birds have occupied them very securely.

Odd that having fewer people increased pressues on wildlife.

In 300 chars, can you say why those niches aren't filled? 😉🤭

And I should visit the Milton Keynes's National Film & Sci-Fi Museum ! 😆

My mother was at Bletchley Park.

Not as a crypto type though - after the war it was turned into a teachers' training college.

I hate MK. The roundabouts are stupid and infuriating.

Oh yes - I follow Onkar too!

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.

They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

Yes - men operate a lot on power and status principles, and a lot of their language contains a lot of that (intonation etc etc.)
It actually gets in the way of teaching; I avoid it. My students marked me lower in expertise in the subject than other aspects of my teaching.

Was bullshit!!! 😆

if i was Kristi Noem i simply would not quote Orwell

Oh! There you are BJK! I haven't seen one of your posts for years!

As domesticated dogs revert to... probably what their ancestry was, note that it will not have a grey coat or yellow eyes. But will more likely have yellow fur. Like DINGOES.

But a lot of accounts just want to say something people like to correct! I daresay the OP was not familiar with the area!

Assimilation isn't always easy in the modern United States. #USA

Grey bird hanging from a fern leaf

And here's a whitehead again, hanging from a tree fern frond. This guy was so entertaining that I almost missed the one and only boat back to the mainland.

Black-headed honeyeater with yellow plumage

Another super-rarity, the hihi or stitchbird. These birds struggle to survive without substantial support in the form of food supplementation and nest boxes, probably because of habitat differences between the forests they once inhabited and the predator-free offshore islands where they now hang on.

Oh!! I thought that face looked familiar!

Don't say you work at the OU? On my day off, or actually after a meeting up there, I visited the Bletchley Park museum.

Alcatraz. The pelican. ???

However, the “al” in alpaca, alligator, albatross, almond, alfalfa, algebra, algorithm, alcohol, alchemy, alkaline, alcove, and Al-Qaeda are all of the same origin. It means “the”.

A black and white cat lays in a dog bed meant for a yellow and white 70 pound dog, who lays on the floor next to the dog bed on a patterned rug

For this Caturday, my cat showing the dog who's boss

If you think about it, the blessed souls in Heaven are portrayed as playing harps. Definitely not bagpipes. Gary Larson once drew a Far Side cartoon showing new arrivals in Hell being issued with accordions, which just about hit the spot.

There’s a rich and diverse bagpipe tradition right across Europe, with dozens of varieties of this noble* instrument.

*Actually not, it was traditionally viewed as the most vulgar and bestial of instruments, contrasting with the elevated & Apollonian lyre (& harp & lute).

Forced to use AI at work, hate it. Usage is monitored so I can't avoid it. I've set up mine to play a Sim City clone. It burns through tokens, making crap cities that quickly go bankrupt. Just been told that I'm getting a bonus for being a top user.

To embarrass my kids I started doing stupid elaborate sneezes - sudden, screaming, shrill, performative, whole-body convulsive sneezes. I can't stop though, it's no longer an act. This is me now. Did one in a meeting at work last week, which terrified 8 people in the room.

Now I'm trying to work out if the floss was stretched vertically or horizontally 😒

Sadly, squeezing through the hole to get to the "Understands pointers" land beyond, requires leaving much of your sanity behind on the other side of the hole.

Wisest not to try to do anything fancy like that, and try to do what you must using arrays and their indices.

Girlfriend and I got wasted and spent the night engaging in anilingus with a friend. Swore to each other we'd never mention again. Only problem, neither of us remember who the friend was.

One for Women's day 🙄

My husband told me for years that my long fingernails are a self-imposed disability given that I can't use the tips of my fingers. I ignored him because I think they're pretty. Had to cut them for a medical procedure and oh my god was he right. Never going back.

He's Very entertaining, plausible and addictive. But I'm sorry to say, a complete scientist impersonator. People with experience across a number of fields, and/or who've known true brilliant scientists, will see the problem, without even seeing how he riles up his disciples to insult outsiders.

I'm a 39yr old male divorcee and met a new lovely Woman and have moved in. My mum has also taken a shine to her widowed dad and are dating and I think my teenage daughter is shagging her son. Could my life be any more fucked up?! Fesshole GOLD from 22nd December 2020

Thought I saw my mother in the distance in the shopping centre and started waving frantically at her. Fucking mirror.
