Theropods are classified by having hollow bones (among other features). In birds it makes sense to decrease weight enough for flight, but in non-flying creatures it seems like any increase in running speed and agility would be outweighed by the accompanying fragility of the skeleton, especially with an unhappy meal fighting back.

Did Theropods scavenge or eat things that didn't pose a danger, or were some of the bones solid like in ostrich, or are hollow bones much stronger than I imagine?

I stumbled upon this article that goes into some depth about Raven vocalizations (though it's kinda difficult to mentally hear pictures of sound waves). Aside from imitating their croaks and caws, and offering roasted unshelled unsalted peanuts, what recommendations do you have for making friends with the local unkindness of Ravens?

I'm getting ready to repaint my Forest Service lookout tower that was built in '73 and by the looks of things it has been painted maybe twice, definitely a while back.

I'd be interested in any convenient chemical tests that would tell me if the chips I've been munching on contain lead. Both layers of paint are green (medium and light if it matters).

What would you include as things to expect in games you play or things that you wait for before you will pick one up?

eg.

  • Properly tested and stable

  • Cost a reasonable price for the time spent playing them (personally I gauge at $1/hr breaking even)

  • All content released and included

  • Available on my chosen platform or storefront

I just went through a run in the Shattered Realm that took a couple hours and got to a boss that would kill me as soon as I entered the dungeon. On crucible dying ends things and you can collect your loot and experience, but even after the timer running out I still can't figure out how to collect. Am I missing something?

DIY Projects/questions

During the summer I work as a lookout for the Forest Service sitting in a tower about 4600ft above sea level. Frequently I work with firefighters either in the air or down in valleys as low as 1200ft that use tactical channels that are line of sight rather than bouncing off the repeaters in the area. With the equipment in the tower I'll often get half of conversations, which is pretty frustrating when trying to keep in the loop.

Currently I'm trying things out with an RTL-SDR v3 kit with the dipole antenna at about 0.44m each end, and attached though an FM (88-108MHz) and an AM (2.6MHz) blocker. Additionally I have it going through an LNA (50MHz-4GHz).
