Re:The Fascinating and Complicated Sex Lives of White-Throated Sparrows on Monday July 15, 2024 @10:38AM (#40968271)

Huh this is news to me. My field guides all mention the color variation but don’t mention differing behavior. One guide even incorrectly says its based on age (it is worth noting they do vary in plumage depending on age, but in a different way).

Another bird that is sort of like how they describe in the article is the Ruff. It is a beautiful type of sandpiper where males are split into 3 categories with different appearance and behavior.

Re:'Annoyed' Seagulls Are Waging War on NYC's Beach Drones on Friday July 12, 2024 @06:28PM (#40950042)

Most people seem surprised to learn they live for 30+ years

I saw a Kittiwake gull in Florida once and then the same year visited their nesting grounds in Iceland. I can’t believe such a tiny little bird can fly that far and survive. That being said the one in Florida was probably lost lol

Re:'Annoyed' Seagulls Are Waging War on NYC's Beach Drones on Friday July 12, 2024 @06:24PM (#40950020)

Yeah I have heard lots of birders say that but its just a synonym for “gull”, I don’t see why its bad. They mostly live by the sea, seems fitting to me.

Oystercatchers aren’t endangered, they are pretty common. You can find them on any beach on the east coast pretty much.

Erowid has some other records of it. Sounds like nitrous but probably better. I wonder if humans evolved to react this way to certain gases or if its a coincidence.

Re:Polyfill supply chain attack hits 100K+ sites on Wednesday June 26, 2024 @11:33AM (#40801218)

I don’t understand why JS devs treat dependencies the way they do. If you are writing scripts that run on other people’s computers I feel like the dependencies used should be vetted for security constantly, and should be used minimally.

Meanwhile most libraries seem to have 80 trillion dependencies written by random github accounts called “xihonghua” or something with no other projects on their account.

I have a panic disorder and I have had daily panic attacks from middle school until about 2 years ago. I have attempted suicide before. If a doctor were to indulge my delusions I would be dead now. That doctor is a monster. I refuse to believe that there was no way she could have found peace. Her doctors gave up on her.

Imagine if you told your doctor you wanted to kill yourself and they helped you make arrangements. This is terrible, appalling that the Belgian government allows this.
