    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 🤣❤️

      ​@@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).

The difference is big enough to cool a see through balloon of oxygen as to turn it into its liquid and blue ish state. For the oxidation. 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

Today ignorance and fake news reigns supreme on safe doses of radiation.

    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

If I caw or whistle for them they know I’m throwing food outside and go get theirs friends so they can eat . They caw to me when they’re hungry at times too , love having them around .
    Meanwhile , my buddies co worker messed with the crows at their job just once or a twice and from then until the the few years later he quit those crows would always shit on his car and even him sometimes if he was out on a smoke break . Sometimes they’d even fly at him.

      1 Corinthians 15:41

      Psalm 147:4
      4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
      Isaiah 40:26
      26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
      Dinosaur, probably diplodocus or brontosaurus.
      Job 40:15-19
      15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
      16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
      17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
      18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
      19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

    "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. They are a super pain in the but and most poisons dont work on them but that earth works good.

Because you’ve probably never almost died before, you have no first hand reference, so your brain flicks through everything panicking to find a solution, possibly reaching your strongest memories first. It sounded believable enough for me, and frankly by that point I don’t think it matters whether you’re wrong or right 😂

    Friends had a lot of trouble getting swooped by crows and/or magpies. We said just put some food out for them, and make sure they see you do it.
    The swooping stopped the next day. (Other people got swooped, but our friends never again)

    Another example of human evolution is wisdom teeth. Most people born in the last century need to have them pulled because our jaw evolved... And some people now have their wisdom teeth "laying down" along the jaw so they never pop up through the gums unless you lose one of your molars.

    • @dudeinoakland

      That's due to softened food diets. The morphology of the jaw is supposed to grow from stimulation of eating tough and fibrous. People living hunter gathering life don't have wisdom teeth problems.

    I live in Minnesota. I’ve seen crows tear apart the nests of other bird species and kill their fledglings. But towards each other they are remarkably kind. One bird broke his wing and couldn’t fly south, so two of his flock stayed with him through a brutal winter, making sure he 9:45 was fed and protected. All three made it through, thanks in part to contributions of their human neighbors.

If anyone else tried to feed him he hisses at them or swims off. I was amazed he remembered me after all this time (it's the only explanation I can think of!)

    Crows are scary smart, and have really surprising 'cross species' social intelligence.
    Having grown up taking care of a few wounded crow and jackdaw chicks (usually resulting from cat attacks, cats stand little chance attacking an adult one, but a young one is quite vulnerable), I've had a lot of opportunity to experience their problem solving skills, which often rival those of a human child at around age 7 indeed. But what really surprised me is their understanding of emotions in a completely different species, being able to show gratitude, and something we'd consider friendship.

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.
