Went to a small sanctuary. Saw three types of owls. See photos below as my first humble contribution to this community. It was nice to see cool owls. Shitty photos though, sorry. But they were cool. The ~~burrowing~~barking owl was just the cutest little thing.

Fingers crossed. Those are bright and lively eyes.

That is such an offended looking owl. And the friend going "just chill bro"

That's like asking who's your favourite child? This one gets bonus anime style one eyed points.

The brick one has great framing thanks to the bricks.

And the other one has a great laser focus on the cute owl. You can see it's cute itty bitty face.

So i say we love them all and enjoy them depending on our mood.

Just take anyone who speaks a second language and ask them to explain their expertise in the second language. Almost everyone will start sounding stupid trying to do the translation in their head to the second language.

Edit: Just to be clear, I don't think said person is stupid at all. There's just difficulty speaking about a concept you would innately know and have learned in one language and translate it to a second one. Except for all those genius polyglots out there of course.

Oh yes, I love it when the drinks are flat. I find the carbonation kinda burns so having less of that makes the drink better.

Also, you don't get it back up the nose when you burp.

I like how Pathfinder 2E does it. A 20 brings your result one tier higher. A 1 brings your result one tier lower. With a high enough base expertise, you can still succeed when rolling a 1, just not as awesome as you normally are. And a 20 isn't a guarantee against really strong foes.

So just something that's been on my mind. At my workplace there's an automatic road barrier that lifts up and down when vehicles arrive. However, it's not used for a carpark system when people wave their tickets or something. It just goes up and down when a vehicle shows up.

However, it sometimes goes up for when say a pushcart is being rolled over whereas it wouldn't for a guy pushing a bin.

So tldr, how does an automatic road barrier decide that yes, a vehicle is coming, and therefore opens up?
