@andrewmelder nice!

@ianwday yum!

@RogueAmoeba Can’t wait!

@megraeb.bsky.social Sorry for your loss, Megan.

@Miraz There’s no hamburger buying in this household! We mostly avoid meat because of insanely high costs but mostly because of my… borderline (?) germaphobia

@Miraz Nice. Log trucks are scary in a car on a narrow 1-lane dirt forest road but I guess not so bad on a modern road

@megraeb.bsky.social 😬

@Miraz supposedly there are trumpeter swans in my area but I’ve never seen them! good catch!

@JohnPhilpin I suppose there are diminishing returns with each new world model. Reciprocity failure sort of thing. Too much information, to much tuning, and eventual training on its own (and others’) outputs.

@Miraz thanks! Normally they’re not as close, preferring flooded rice fields & wildlife ponds far away from us humans. What a lucky day.

@ericmwalk mmm how fortunate he is!

@Miraz smart birds! though that following behavior would make me a bit uneasy

@hawaiiboy no argument from me on any of those points!

@Miraz besides the western tanager, the western oriole gotta be in the top three of colorful birds native to California

@Miraz I’m unfamiliar with herons being that okay with nearby humans. Very cool.

@Miraz awwwee!

@manton nice!

@Miraz so very long for not being a shorebird!

@Miraz 🥰

@Miraz I love this. There are a lot of old rock quarries in California and they’re all barren, sometimes with winter-time ponds.

@hawaiiboy what a crazy day. Enjoy your time in California!

@Miraz that’d be me lol

@hawaiiboy good luck. Hospitality is an odd choice for them

@joshuapsteele glad you’re back to Mastodon. Tons of tech people there. Bluesky is definitely where the scientists went.
