I still hadn't seen the first one!

There were rumours early on that a young woman had died, and then there was video footage of a guy covered in blood rolling around on the ground screaming "My skull is cracked!", I won't post it but it's pretty easy to find on Facebook
No actual reports of deaths though, must be a conspiracy covering it up to make Dan Andrews look good!!! :tinfoil:

Butcher birds are pretty cool, there's a few at my parent's place that fly in every few days that I feed a couple of grubs from the compost. Very rarely, a small fingernail-sized bit of mince. They'll fly in and land at the front door, and if they see me inside they'll fly in and land on my arm/shoulder and just hang out until I treat them to some easy snacks. Sometimes they'll bring in their new fledglings to show off.

They loving HATE kookaburras and pied butcher birds though, goddamn. If one of them shows up while the butchers are around they will non-stop swoop and strafe them until they leave. They're also leery of magpies, but don't seem to hate them enough to actually attack them.

I've been digging up my garden last couple days and he's been eyeing off all the grubs

If it snags one and you're even remotely nearby when it feeds, take cover, they whip the grub's guts out with their incredibly powerful neck-flick and you WILL get grub guts splattering you at high speeds. It's absolutely brutal. Totally appropriate for a bird renowned for it's habit of impaling live prey on sharp branches, to store for later eating and make tearing apart things like large mice easier.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Got two magpies that come down for feeds in the backyard, can hear their babies peeping when they bring some meal worm back for them. They're a little early this year, but I'm looking forward to having a couple more inquisitive jerk birds to feed. They don't swoop me on foot but the male loving hounds me on my bike and will chase me 150m down the road, hitting my helmet with full force :allears:
As far as I'm concerned the good lad is protecting his babies with vigour, gently caress the haters. Magpies rule

One time I bought one of those fake owls from Bunnings to try and scare off garbage birds that were chirping endless outside my bedroom. It didn't work on any of the garbage birds but come roosting season, the magpies would spend all day everyday just swooping and squawking at it. The sound was driving me nuts till I realised what it was that they were doing.

Next time he swoops you with your helmet on, try offering some small bit of food. He might somehow think you're a different person with the helmet on. Or he's an arsehole, birds do be that way.

My sister got the owl that was just a bit of plastic made to look like an owl with its wings against its body. None of the birds gave a poo poo.

I got the one with the plastic wings that were made out of kite material and put it on top of an old broomstick and attached that to my clothesline and it spun and wobbled about in the wind. Worked perfectly for about a year and a half.

Came outside one day and a pigeon was literally sitting on it.

Haven't bothered since. But it did its job of letting all my seeds sprout.

I've got a bowl each of 1c and 2c pieces but don't know what to do with them. I've thought about making them shiny and then keeping them in a glass container under oil or something to stop them tarnishing again? No idea if that would even work.

You can make a tabletop out of them and seal them in epoxy resin, there's lots of guides online

Check the Whirlpool thread on the LG OLEDs, I'm pretty sure people have had their panels replaced under ACL.

are you trying to claim warranty on it or just worried about potential burn-in as an issue if you were to buy an OLED?

https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/real-life-oled-burn-in-test

quote:

Update 05/31/2019: The TVs have now been running for over 9000 hours (around 5 years at 5 hours every day). Uniformity issues have developed on the TVs displaying Football and FIFA 18, and are starting to develop on the TV displaying Live NBC. Our stance remains the same, we don't expect most people who watch varied content without static areas to experience burn-in issues with an OLED TV.

unless you are mainlining CNN 24/7 its not an issue.

I have an OLED (LG B8) and I basically use it for 2 different video games and general TV viewing. 2 years in, daily use, no noticeable burn-in.

That's a ton more work than I'd have in mind, and I'll be honest I don't really like how it looks either. I don't have enough to cover a large surface, which is why I was thinking of having them in a glass vase. But then that probably looks like poo poo too, and being full of oil would be horrible to knock over. If I could suspend them in resin it might be a good doorstop, but it would be tricky to get them right inside the resin with them being really heavy and all.
