an eagle screeches in the distance

View on HN

Fun fact: the bald eagle scream heard in most movies and television shows is actually the call of a red-tailed hawk.

Rewriting history is a part of our culture

I read about the long walk of the Navajo recently. You can say that again..

This should be considered unconstitutional...

Personally I think it should be illegal for government websites to even present you with a captcha, especially one from a hostile corporation like Google. But this is a battle I've long since quit fighting...

It doesn't matter anyway. They can claim a million mail in ballots and there is no way to verify it beyond "just trust us" which we clearly do not.

Can't you make the same argument for regular ballots?

Just tried to rescue one by my property, poor thing passed

I knew this academically from a while back, but have seen it in the wild by my house where I have both hawks and bald eagles.

Late at night I also get those classic spooky owl noises (great horned owl).

I recently wanted to check the price of tickets on Ticketmaster. Got an error about me looking like a bot (this was clearnet from a foreign country). Same deal with Tor.

This is why we cannot have nice things. Ticketmaster wants to keep all the scalping on their platform and not anyone else's.
