Poor owl. I feel for him from the story.

The photo is a pretty cool shot. Like that owl is so done with all these other birds.

Huh. It was only this post that I really thought about what colour are owl eyes and what variation we get.

Isn't this the basis of zomb100? Where his work life was so shit that when a literal zombie apocalypse happened he finally started living the life he wanted. And it wasn't that he dreamt of survival and shooting dead people,, just a bucket list of cool things to do.

Anyway, I can relate.

Ooh she finally got a name! That's always good news. Amazing recovery.

That's a handsome fella.

This manager at least decides to park it rather than doubling down which honestly already puts her better than many.

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.

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

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.

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?
