Lacrosse posted:my crow buddies at work keep checking in with me to see if I have any snacks but the last few times I've tried to find in-shell peanuts they were out. I'll have to check again, hopefully they're back in stock. I haven't fed them peanuts in months now but they still fly over to say hi every time I pull into the parking lot in the morning. Corvid crew represent! I now refer to any crow I see as my crow friends. 2 hours from home? Look! It's my crow friends! I'm like a 5yo with that poo poo

any amount of 'cases-per-day' that's higher than zero as a benchmark for 'normality' is horseshit it's like, okay, assume that there are only 10,000 people infected with COVID in the United States, that we know of - let's open everything back up??? what happens to the 10,000 cases [plus everyone else in the Unknown category]: THEY MULTIPLY! gently caress you, that's how infectious disease works! you don't stop pouring water on a burning house when there's still one wall that's on fire, just because you've put out the flames everywhere else!

facetoucher cat posted:Corvid crew represent! An old coworker once came upon a crow drowning in a fountain while other crows looked on and yelled. She fished it out of there and all the other crows got super mad for a second, but once she set it down and it regained composure, the crows figured out she wasn’t trying to eat their buddy and calmed down. From that point forward, any time I saw her downtown, there were at least a couple crows following her around. They’re super interesting, especially around here in the city. If you walk across a bridge at the right time, you can watch thousands of them pouring across the river to meet up and, I guess, talk about all the news a crow can use. They move their meetup spots, too, a few years ago they would have the big meet basically on my block and they were all you could hear for an hour or two, now they’re back across the river again. Everybody goes home after the big meets, but they seem to be a twice daily deal.

The corvids have adopted Agile business practices, that's their twice-daily stand-up meeting scrum or whatever

Those distant crows may well be your neighbor I like to think they are! There's two murders that come by here. One with three crows comes by around 8:30am and the other only has two and they show up a bit before 11am The early morning crew were the original bunch and I think word got out there's food to be had Owls have started showing up early, early morning and I'm thinking they're eating rodents munching on leftover food the foxes, opossums, and deer don't get overnight. My cats are absolutely terrified of the owl hoot. Guess it's instinct and I know they're scared but holy piss it's hilarious

It is no wonder the vikings loved ravens, to the extent that the first Danish flag was a banner depicting a raven. Huginn and Muninn ftw.

gradenko_2000 posted:any amount of 'cases-per-day' that's higher than zero as a benchmark for 'normality' is horseshit It makes sense if you assume we have a robust testing system in place, efficient track and trace, and also that we will immediately start using NPIs if cases start to climb. But since we have none of those things it's just a big lol.

Nature documentaries use Foley artists to create all the animal noises, so it's a trip to see them fly noiselessly. The first time I noticed the owl, my roommate thought I was the one saying "who who who" right before we went out to go look for it.

Lastgirl posted:gently caress yeah, all year i vaped, up to 3 times a day lol quote:Collectively, these results suggest that CBD inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection in part by activating the interferon pathway leading to degradation of viral RNA and subsequent viral-induced changes in host gene expression, including cytokines. quote:The mechanism contributing to the antiviral activity of CBD is the induction of the interferon pathway both directly and indirectly following activation of the host immune response to the viral pathogen. In fact, interferons have been tested clinically as potential treatments for COVID-19 (21). Importantly, CBD also suppresses cytokine activation in response to viral infection, reducing the likelihood of immune cell recruitment and subsequent cytokine storms within the lungs and other affected tissues. These results complement previous findings suggesting that CBD suppresses cytokine production in recruited immune cells such as macrophages (22). Thus, CBD has to the potential not only to act as an antiviral agent at early stages of infection but also to protect the host against an overactive immune system at later stages.

Those distant crows may well be your neighbor whenever i drive around early in the morning i see them having their morning meetings in or on the side of the road. they always seem like they know something i don't. i saw a hawk attempt to chill with some corvid friends on a frosty morning a couple weekends ago, but the crows were not very welcoming

I've seen whole lot of boomers really get into the whole CBD thing, even the gummies. And yet people our age assume that it's just regular weed that works (THC just negates the CBD benefits) so yet another reason why the boomers are going to outlive us all in the end.

Pingui posted:I am sure this is fine... quote:This decline in the quality of health care will likely occur as demand increases. Even in the unlikely event that no further COVID-19 infections occur, the past months have left millions with long COVID and other severe, chronic problems. “I’m seeing a lot of younger people with end-stage cardiac or neurological disease—people in their 30s and 40s who look like they’re in their 60s and 70s,” Vineet Arora told me. “I don’t think people understand the disability wave that’s coming.” the poor quality of care i'm seeing patients receive is genuinely terrifying. the bulk of the nurses and techs who are left in the ERs i transport to do not care about covid and will walk maskless between rooms like they're part of some sort of nosocomial covid challenge. rural ambulance crews have stopped masking completely and will care for respiratory distress patients without any protection. multiple physicians are telling chud paramedics they don't need to get vaccinated if they got covid previously
