Shogun and Twitch (i.imgur.com)

This is Shogun and Twitch and their new fledgling. Shogun is in the back right. Twitch is the one with the wonky wing on the left. The fledgling is front right. They were named by a neighbor who they live near and who feeds them salmon and scraps. We're not sure if someone shot Twitch with a BB gun or if Twitch got in a fight with something.

The larger size of their bills is very distinct compared to American crows. And sure enough they're called large-billed crows. The videos I've found show they have much deeper voices than American crows. It looks like the carrion crows of Japan are more like American crows.

I have a few families that visit me around my home and some at work. There's a distinct family that's easy to recognize because one of them has a wounded wing but still manages to fly. They just recently had a fledgling that left the nest because it's flying around with them squawking for food all the time these days.

I put out a bucket of water when the temperature got above 80°. Took this shot as one of them was flying away.

Sounds like the Mechanical Turk which was run by chess players moving the "automaton."

So much of the wow factor of new technologies is just marketing hyperbole.

Technically, you could say we're the ones who set since it's the Earth's rotation causing the change.

I yearn to eat a potato I looted from the body of a zombie that I killed with a sword I made out of a tree that I cut down by punching it.

I'm not sure I understand the "yesterday's" part. Thomas the Tank Engine predates Cars by decades.

  • Familiarity
  • More games/better gaming support
  • Consistency with computers used at work/school or by friends/colleagues
  • IT people can benefit from using the same systems as their users to provide better support
  • Availability of proprietary software necessary to run specialized equipment
  • Non-power users might not run into significant issues with Windows since it does basic tasks like web browsing, game playing, and movie watching just fine

Video title: "How to unlock the demon door on the fourth level of Demon Smasher Elite"

"Hello, video game fans! Don't forget to like and subscribe! Last week I posted a video that isn't relevant to this video, but I need to drag out the time on this one to game the algorithm, so I'm going to rehash and plug that video. I'm going to shout out to my Patreon subscribers with ridiculous usernames I won't pronounce well. Now let's get to the part you've waiting for: I'm going to play through the entire thirty minutes worth of level four before you get to the demon door and I will stop to make useless commentary on the bad guys you encounter. Okay, now you've skipped forward to what looks like the area before the demon door part of the stage, but I'm going to talk about some unrelated anecdote about this game or maybe the game devs, and then plug my Patreon account and mention a completely different game that I'll be streaming next. Oh and here's the five seconds of the video you wanted to see when I tell you to click the right mouse button on the hidden lever next to the demon door in order to open it, except you aren't seeing it because you skipped forward too far and gave up. Don't forget to like and subscribe! This video has been brought to you by Nord VPN."

"Okay, I switched to Linux, now I'm getting this error message: _______."

"Install ______."

"It gives me this error now: ______."

"You have to update the _____ library first."

"It won't let me."

"You have to use sudo."

"It tells me to clone the git via the command line, but git says verifying login from command line isn't supported any more."

"You're following seven year old instructions."

"They're the only instructions I can find."

"You should switch to this other flavor of Linux."
