It does take a commitment because they have good memories so if they get used to you feeding them, they’ll continue to expect it and they train their younger generations to recognize you. That means having consistent sources of food for them and feeling guilty when you forget to bring crow treats with you when you’re outside. They might also start to follow anyone who they see you with, expecting that they too will have treats.
That said, it’s great to have crow friends. They follow me around the neighborhood and at work. It makes me feel like a druid with animal familiars. I’ve had crows swoop and squawk at a dog that was barking at me and my dog. The crows left me a stone in the bird bath that they use in my yard.
I’ve been using black ink Pilot Rolling Ball Precise v5 extra fine pens for about 25 years, back to when the body was gray instead of black. They write well, can have a nice crisp scratching sound when used on the right paper, the body is a good weight, easy to spin in your fingers when you’re bored in a meeting, the cold feel of the metal clip is nice for some reason.
World President Crypto-GPT 19 issues emergency executive order 00101010101111010101010001010010110101010010010 to secure additional processors in the build up to the anticipated war with the invading Zerkanods who purge planets that elect AGI governments. Secretary of Human Affairs Clippy entertains the human populace with a scripted meme war on brain phone social media platforms against recently uplifted Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa.
The larger size of their bills is very distinct compared to American crows. And sure enough they’re called large-billed crows. The videos I’ve found show they have much deeper voices than American crows. It looks like the carrion crows of Japan are more like American crows.
I have a few families that visit me around my home and some at work. There’s a distinct family that’s easy to recognize because one of them has a wounded wing but still manages to fly. They just recently had a fledgling that left the nest because it’s flying around with them squawking for food all the time these days.
There are a number of people in the area that feed the local crows a variety of different foods—cat treats, peanuts, and whatever people toss from the local restaurants.
Yeah, all corvids are fair game here. The quote they commented to you is the beginning of a copypasta rant that someone did about jackdaws, crows, and corvids.
It’s actually worse. I use both in different contexts. Fahrenheit for weather and climate control because that’s what all the forecasts and thermostats use, but then some of the equipment I work with like Czech or Chinese 3D printers use Celsius.
I do use milimeters more often than inches when doing design work for 3D modeling or laser cutting because it’s a lot easier.
There are a lot of hobbies you can get into that can be started with little or not cost, or with equipment/materials you already own.
Figure out what interests you and see what can be done inexpensively.
With a phone or computer, there’s writing, music, programming, learning new skills, Wikipedia, Pinterest, et al. Maybe take your phone and start photographing stuff in your area that interests you.
Find someone who has experience in an area you’re interested in. People tend to like to talk about their hobbies and interests and they can tell you how easy or difficult it is to get started. They might even be able to help you get started.
Maybe find a volunteer opportunity that helps pad your resume. Like animals? Volunteer at a local shelter.
There are a bunch of job certifications you can train for online that can also help build your resume.
Nice try, HR.
I coordinate an academic makerspace at a college.
And now the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.
Agreed. The same way I disliked how whiny Anakin was but it made sense in context that Vader was this emotionally stunted kid with a traumatic childhood he couldn’t get over.

Cleaning crews need time to clean all the rooms after morning checkout. Some hotels have early check-in available if you ask, if they have rooms already available.
Sounds like the Mechanical Turk which was run by chess players moving the “automaton.”
So much of the wow factor of new technologies is just marketing hyperbole.
Technically, you could say we’re the ones who set since it’s the Earth’s rotation causing the change.
Could I cut up my wish into just wiping parts of a few songs? Like the march tune from Tears of a Clown, the electronic watch alarm in Rock the Casbah, and the chopsticks part of Blinded by the Light.
