Ooh, good advice. Do you recommend vinegar or citrus based?

For goose, soy sauce base is the way to go. For Mr. Nice, a whisky marinade will help make him more amenable.

There was a distillery in Scotland that used guard geese instead of guard dogs. When given the choice between trying to get past those guard geese and sobriety, even Scotsmen said “eh, I’m good for a bit”.

We have tons of Canada geese here in Washington, and I don't think I've ever seen one get aggressive. Only thing I don't like about them is they leave huge green turds everywhere they go.

drat. Every one I ever saw in the Bay Area was a miserable cuss and I hated walking to the office when they were in town.

Are they there year round? They are here in WA. Maybe it's the migratory ones that are assholes.

I go run through Green Lake Park several days a week here in Seattle and I walk through huge mobs of them all the time and never once had any issues.

Ok am I the only one who does not have an instinctive fear of Canadian geese? There was a "community lot" near a family members house when I was a kid that had a little strip of access to a lake and the geese always made a mess of it. So as a kid I would just harass the hell out of the geese and chase them off. I was also a little ADHD gremlin so if they got all hissy I would just run at them with a stick.

Nope, I will gently caress up a flock if need be.

gently caress Canada and their goddamn geese.

Canadians can be cool sometimes I guess though.

The sadder thing about LoL is that he was playing it constantly every day while overprescribed ADHD meds. And he only ranked up to bronze. For those that guy don’t know, bronze is the bottom 28%.

For context, AOC said she ranked bronze something when she picked LoL back up after being elected and later posted about making it to I think gold 4. I believe that is actually the median rank or close to it.

(She also said another democratic congressman was high platinum in the same season which is in the 80th percentile range. That’s absolutely a rank where you have to have put a lot of focused effort into deeply learning the game and grinding.)

I loved it for a while, but when they got to endlessly spending seven or eight minutes cumulatively per episode on the puns S7-ish, I could tell it was really starting to sputter.

I don't need endless reminders of how rapid fire they can make a word rhyme much longer than it should.

I think it's more a funny meme than people actually being terrified, in the vein of Chuck Norris jokes.

There's so many in the PNW they used to round them up and gas them on the regular because they were polluting waterways.

I can't imagine what the PNW must have been like 100 years ago. Was reading about how orcas used to be considered pests and shooting them was encouraged, with about 1/4 of the orcas captured through to the 1970s having bullet scars. Now they're people's favorite animal.

They are doing something weird off the Iberian Peninusla in Europe - A few years ago small number started attacking rudders on small boats. This behavior had spread and now 3 boats have been sunk with dozens damaged, and hundreds of interactions. All very very odd.

Sadly its only going to end one way - the Orcas will end up all being killed in that area.

There is another important passage in a memoir by a shipwrecked whale hunting sailor, actually the book that Henry Melville based Moby Dick on, about being attacked and other survivors eaten by what is clearly orcas.

Yes. Moby Dick is about the wrong whale (or dolphin) sort of
