My friends, I have heard it is #Owltober. Which means y'all are due for a #BakedBeansOwl update! Here he is out on a walk. Still looks a bit scruffy from molting but it's starting to come back in. #owl #owls #zoo #screechowl

You ever had a bad hair day? How about a bad hair month? That's right, Beans is molting (but just his head) so he looks really funny right now. #BakedBeansOwl #owl #owls #screechowl #screechowls #animals #zoo

BIRTHDAY TIME! Everyone please wish #BakedBeansOwl a happy first birthday!!! The keepers have made this lovely hat for bird birthdays. Beans didn't seem to mind the hat, but he was was a bit grumpy about having to go out in public and meet people. If anyone would like send a birthday present his way, the best thing you can do is support your local zoo, animal hospital, or conservation group. If you'd like to donate to Beans's zoo, here's a link below https://louisvillezoo.org/?bbFormId=b37dc262-52de-42b4-a35e-03883bc6b3ca #Owl #Owls

#BakedBeansOwl time! You remember how I said Beans is small? Well here's a banana for scale #Owl #screechowl #zoo #animal #animals #owls #screechowls #ScaleBanana #bananas #BananaForScale

What if, we put tiny bird in bird bath? In reality, Baked Beans had just refused a mist shower (something birds often like) and instead decided to jump into the water bowl after the keepers left. #BakedBeansOwl #owl #owls #screechowl #screechowls #zoo #animals #animal #bird

@grim_elsewhere@lgbtqia.space perfect! Only needs a little x on the corgi butt, like how these cat cookies do it

For reference, here's a picture of Tony the Tawny Frogmouth getting a mist bath. He is not, in fact an owl. He is from Australia and is a type of nightjar, a family shared by whippoorwills. I adore tawny frogmouths. They look like Muppets. When they're not doing anything and want you to mind your own business, that act like a vertical log. And are very good at it. #bird #birds #nightjar #TawnyFrogmouth #zoo #animal #animals

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social I just signed up so I can not go and skew their counts. I work in the industry so they'll probably approve my registration. Ha.

@bytebro@mastodonapp.uk @afewbugs@social.coop Just like there's no such thing as a tree! https://eukaryotewritesblog.com/2021/05/02/theres-no-such-thing-as-a-tree/

Just me looking into a UofA masters degree in optics. While I'm working full time. Because I get jittery when I've been out of classes for more than 3 years. I mean, it would only be 7 years of taking classes after work, and work would pay for it all. No biggie. Guys, I might have a problem. #academicchatter

Hey guys, my cats are absolute goobers. #cat #cats

@ax11@mastodon.social Okay come on. Stop being a dick. Communication (including jokes) is a 2-way street and is only effective if the message is received as intended. Otherwise it's bad communication. Saying that someone who was the original intended recipient of the joke doesn't need to understand it is ignoring how communication works. You're using the exact same argument as those dudes who say racist/sexist things and then say "gosh can't you understand a joke?" when people get upset. Please don't.

@noodlemaz@mstdn.games @donw@mastodon.coffee @inthehands@hachyderm.io the resources required to manufacture and ship a plastic grocery bag are much lower than for a paper bag or a cloth bag, so in some situations the plastic bag could be seen as more environmentally friendly. This argument does ignore the need for renewability in manufacture and the likelihood that the bag can actually be recycled into something useful.

@bucknam@mastodon.social we didn't summit or anything. Just the trail from Echo Lake to Chicago Lakes. Would have loved to continue on to the summit, but that's a 16 mile round trip and we didn't have time.

@bucknam@mastodon.social oh damn. That's where we were hiking this morning. We left by 11am. Super humid and cloud cover, but nothing that held lightning yet.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org you know what goes really well on edgy boring black bags? NASA patches! Thats what I use to tell my luggage apart

@FaithfullJohn@mastodon.scot @vicgrinberg@mastodon.social @Nephele@rollenspiel.social I third this

@th@social.v.st @robpike@cosocial.ca excellent point. Someone should complain 😂

@LieschenrelleuM @jerbear yeah, Apple is a big nope for me. Their walled garden philosophy I find super frustrating

@celestiallavendar@icedoatmilk.coffee @vicgrinberg@mastodon.social Hey friend, I wanted to drop in to say we have measured the Sun's full spectrum, which is of course a star. Here's a really cool picture of its visible spectrum https://noirlab.edu/public/images/noao-sun/

@phocks@bne.social but the golden handcuffs! You need to feel sorry for the people who got almost zero percent interest on their house loans because they can't get it again when they want to move to a different place!

@bucknam@mastodon.social tonight it's only supposed to get below freezing briefly. Tomorrow nights the real killer, which I think is after most of the snow.

@bucknam@mastodon.social yeah, not si happy about the low 20s tomorrow night. I've got all my plants under buckets or tarps so they should be good tonight, but I don't know what I'll do tomorrow night. The peaches will just do what they do, I guess

@plutarch all the pixels are massive. I'm looking for something much much smaller.

@euphoriagremlin@retro.pizza @jerbear@kind.social Wow looking at the two side by side in higher resolution, the Frasier copy just looks so terrible.

@NunavutBirder bun!

@serebit@floss.social this is Dipper! He is a very very very dumb cat. And extremely loving. He has a sister named Maybel and she is an extremely smart cat and screams constantly and doesn't like people.

@CatsOfYore@mastodon.social Wow. That is exactly what my cat looks like

@roblosricos@mastodon.social Dude, go be edgy and insulting somewhere else. Nobody asked for you to just come up and dump your issues on other people. This is childish.

Hey #woodworking folks! I got a question for ya. How would you estimate the safe load for L brackets? Steel with triangle braces. Going through drywall into studs with #14 x 2.5" lag screws. 8 brackets holding up the wood (another 3 are slightly too low. Not sure if I can easily move them up) Another note, for a few of them the drywall had maybe a 1/4" gap between it and the stud. I screwed things down so they were tight, but tried to avoid bending/cracking the drywall noticeably.

@travisfw interesting. You're the first person I've heard who has used one and didn't particularly like it (except for reviewers with large hands).

@c_dan4th@mstdn.social will time to retire champion (almost)
