My HP laserjet 1320n is over 20 years old. Every 6-8 months I have something to print and it does it like a champ. I can even print to it from my phone. Idk the last time I put toner on it.

It’s because it counts as an aircraft. Getting licenced to use your drone for anything more than “wooo, flyin mah drone” covers a lot of the same stuff a private pilot would know like reading the maps, airport landing procedure, and airspace. They treat it like an actual airplane. And you can’t just start blasting at airplanes because they flew over your house. If it’s doing more than just flying over it has to be addressed legally.

I looked through my email, they first asked me in February 2022.

Phlebotomists in some states don’t need any training. None. If you’ve ever given blood in one of those states this is probably not surprising to you.

Falconry can involve tons of different skills. Mews (aviary) and giant hood (travel box) can use carpentry. Hoods/other gear -> leather working. Bells -> metallurgy. Perches -> metalwork and woodturning. Drone / kite flying maybe depending on bird. One guy makes his own telemetry. Lots of designing for the many little things needed. Almost everything needed is handcrafted or repurposed from something. I use 3d printing for my giant hoods, whistles, and anklet templates. Also like, animal training and hunting stuff for the raptor.

But falconry is not a casual activity, it’s truly a lifestyle. Because of that, there are a lot of falconer couples, or, divorced falconers. So uh, make sure your partner is really into it before going in deep.

When you are done with that, I can’t login either.

Ya but I think you need to watch October Sky before that.

Reputable brands wouldn’t hide their logo. Put a case on it if it bothers you.

Adam Savage has said that that was the most terrifying myth they’ve tested, and I’m pretty sure even with all of their divers and support crew he thought he was going to die.

Someone mentioned turning a PC into a Chromebook above and it’s not a bad idea. You can probably install Android apps on it for streaming services too. All you need is a flash drive. I probably wouldn’t mess with it though if it’s your only device if you aren’t that tech savvy.

Ah yes, I also have the hobby of buying and sorting boardgames.

I use my GoPro a ton and thought I could add a drone into my videos but I haven’t really been able to try it yet. I did get my drone license though and might have some paid work coming up which is nice.

22% is insane, that should be illegal honestly. Pretty much bought it on a credit card.

Smart move, for real. It sucks because I can see that this is something you made to solve a personal gripe, but you do not want the liability that selling this comes with.

I love my HP printer. Always prints when I ask it to every few months, uses third party toner, 0 issues whole time I’ve had it. Of course it’s a laserjet from 2004 so it’s built a bit different. I wouldn’t recommend a new HP though lol.

I like owls but they are not used for Falconry because they have poor lateral thinking (Owl knows how to jump to the glove inside, take them outside owl knows nothing) and because we have to follow all hunting laws (can’t hunt after dark). But for people who can hunt after dark, using an owl sucks because it’s dark and you can’t see anything that happens. Most falconers just love to watch their birds fly and it’s hard to see them fly in the dark!

Harris’s hawks are one of the smartest hawk species but I’m sure ravens are smarter. I think they’ve gotten HHs to use a simple tool but they are not as proficient as ravens. But in my observations it only takes one single bad experience for most raptors to never want that experience to happen again. And on the flip side, if they get rewarded doing something once they will remember that for a long time

Idk if own is the correct term but the US regulates most native birds through the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Falconry has a special exclusion from that act. But it’s along the same lines as just because a deer is in your yard it doesn’t mean you own that deer. You need permission from the government to take it.

Technically the US government owns the birds, but two of these are mine and one is my wife’s who is also a licensed falconer. We purchased them from licensed breeders. They are from, left to right, Nevada, Washington, Louisiana. They were shipped to us on an airplane and we picked them up at the airport.

Most of the rabbit goes back into feeding them over the summer when they are molting their feathers. I do make 2-3 rabbit dishes a year though. Last year I made sausage which was pretty good.

Falconry. It’s really more of a lifestyle than a hobby now though. I’ve been doing it for a little over 10 years now and am currently flying a cast (group of birds flown together) of 3 Harris’s Hawks.

Quick faqs:

• I use the glove and everything
• It’s a hunting sport, we catch rabbits 3-5 times a week
• We all go out together, I flush they catch
• No, they do not bring what they catch back to me, I go to them
• They don’t eat the whole rabbit, I trade them a small reward
• They are completely free flighted when doing this
• I’ve trained them just enough to get them back and work with me, they know how to do bird things naturally
• They don’t really go for your eyes, and getting bit hurts 50x less than getting footed
• They are not rescues and are perfectly healthy
• Mine are captive bred, but some are wild trapped
• Wild trapping has 0 effect on native populations, 50-90% of raptors don’t make it through their first year
• Even though mine are captive bred they are still wild animals, they are just tamed.
• This is the most regulated sport in the US

Birbs:

Ya, YouTube follows copyright law as closely as it can or it would have been sued into oblivion. I have used a few copyright songs in videos and they usually don’t get outright blocked but the song creater counts those views towards revenue and if YouTube doesn’t have a song license for a country the video is blocked in that country. YouTube tells this to the uploader.

Related, H3H3 had a huge lawsuit about fair use over video clips because YouTube would handle it the same way - leave the video up but transfer all revenue to the clip holder. H3H3 ended up winning that but the point is YouTube is extremely pro copyright, erring on the side of copyright holder in all cases until convinced otherwise.
