As a kid who grew up on a 1000-acre farm in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors, i occupied myself by having odd pets. I raised 3 crows and 2 raccoons. Best pets ive ever had. My crow would follow me everywhere, including when I'd drive the ATV miles down the dirt road. They'd come when called, and would either land on my outstretched arm or, painfully, my head and get tangled in my hair 🤣 My raccoons purred like cats and would pat all over my face with their hands and always try shove their hands into my nostrils or my mouth, scavenging for goodies I guess 🤣❤️

I can confirm that with the crow. My mother used to feed crows, they remembered her, the time and were already waiting. When she went out, they always greeted her xD. The best thing was when we took the dog for a walk or drove the car, they sometimes followed us, you felt like you were being watched.😂

This is why feeding human animals is a bad idea. It creates dependency, even in the most conscious creatures, and it does so so gently the dependants don't realize they are slaves to it. Good day 😊
@Debbie-henri
@Debbie-henri 22 дня назад
​@@troy3456789I agree. When people feed birds or animals, the animals won't rely on their own hunting/foraging instincts so much, always sure of a meal; and when their human 'feeder' dies or moves, it can impact heavily on local creatures that have become dependent over generations. The very best thing you can do for wild creatures is to plant flowering and berrying trees and shrubs. The flowers attract insects at a useful time of year, to feed chicks, and the berries will see them right through late Summer and Autumn months, fattening them up for winter or prior to migration. Best of all, no matter what happens to you, the trees and bushes usually remain (of course, unless a lawn-slave moves onto your property and digs everything up).

@@Debbie-henri Humans are highly conscious creatures that did not create themselves in the way they are in the least. They're still subject to influence; be it bad influence or good influence; and they might not know if it's good influence or bad influence, or that they're slowly becoming slaves. There is another option available and not everyone knows about it.

@@bentboybbz we used liquid nitrogen for rapid cooling. Oxygen turns liquid at -183 degrees Celsius while Nitrogen does at -196. The difference is big enough to cool a see through balloon of oxygen as to turn it into its liquid and blue ish state. For the oxidation. We did try to use it to make things rust faster, that was a lot harder than we thought though. The problem was in the fact that the room temperature around it made the oxygen turn into its gasious state fairly quickly so we lost a lot of it trying to apply it to iron. We didnt have a cryogenic chamber which would allow the oxygen to stay liquid for much longer. In such a chamber we might have succeeded in rapidly rusting iron

Number 31. I've experienced this phenomenon strongly. As the weather starts to warm up, there comes a time where all of a sudden it just "smells like spring." I can't describe that sensation any other way. Every year, when I first smell spring, I get very strong flashbacks to the first time I tried and became addicted to cocaine. These are intense flashbacks, to the point where my mind will trick me into remembering the essence of ether/acetone even when it's not there. The first few days of spring are a yearly struggle for me as I continue to cling on to my sobriety from the thing that used to control me

"Eye color can indeed influence light sensitivity and vision under different lighting conditions due to the varying amounts of melanin in the iris. Melanin is a pigment that gives color to our eyes, hair, and skin. People with blue eyes tend to have less melanin in their irises, which can make their eyes more sensitive to light and potentially give them a slight advantage in low-light or night-time conditions. However, this does not necessarily mean they have better night vision overall. On the other hand, people with brown eyes have more melanin in their irises, which can help reduce glare and enhance vision in bright conditions. The increased melanin content in brown eyes can improve contrast discernment, making people with darker eyes potentially have better vision in high-glare situations, such as driving at night. However, it’s important to note that these differences are generally minor and other factors, such as overall eye health and individual variations, can also significantly impact vision. More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between eye color and vision capabilities"

52:40 - I heard a theory ages ago that when you’re in danger your brain goes back through your memory to find an example of how to survive the situation. Because you’ve probably never almost died before, you have no first hand reference, so your brain flicks through everything panicking to find a solution, possibly reaching your strongest memories first. It sounded believable enough for me, and frankly by that point I don’t think it matters whether you’re wrong or right 😂

They are great for getting rid of bed bugs as well. I had to deal with that one time. It was horrible. The dam things are very good at hiding. A stupid tenant brought them in with him knowingly. He was a slob so be kicked him out and them we discovered the bed bugs since they left his room looking for a new home. They got into my bed and my mom's bed. Super hard to kill. We used diatomaceous as one of the tools along with propping the bed up on these cups that trap them. We had to go further and get a bed bug company to bring in heaters since they can't handle higher temperatures. The whole ordeal took months to get rid of them and it was expensive. Horrible experience to go through. Had a close call another time. A female hitched a ride on me from another apartment. I was able to find that one on the side of my bed and kill it after a few nights of getting bites. Glad it was only one, I did not want to deal with that again. They are a super pain in the but and most poisons dont work on them but that earth works good.

Exactly, look for atom orbitals and you're see that those shapes are very different from what is commonly thought. Those shapes are calculated from Schroedinger equation and it's a probability of finding electron in given place. So inside of atom is not an empty space but a Hillbert space of probabilities derived from Schroedinger equation.

Said crow happily climbed on my arm; I took the little mite into the entry for a bit of overnight protection and put some seeds and grains there. Next day, went out into the street and said crow was then able to fly back up, from my raised arm. Parents were in close proximity. Pity I can't post the photos on here.

Crows are scary smart, and have really surprising 'cross species' social intelligence. Having grown up taking care of a few wounded crow and jackdaw chicks (usually resulting from cat attacks, cats stand little chance attacking an adult one, but a young one is quite vulnerable), I've had a lot of opportunity to experience their problem solving skills, which often rival those of a human child at around age 7 indeed. But what really surprised me is their understanding of emotions in a completely different species, being able to show gratitude, and something we'd consider friendship.
