I can barely get a pair of combat boots to last a year, except for my RATs, best damn boots to kick shit in. I always blow out the sides or crack the sole where the toes flex as the sole wears slick.
I wish they still made the RATs, I would buy two pairs.
They don’t need a vaccine to depopulate when heart disease(695k/y), car accidents(40k/y), overdoses(82k/y), abortion(1m/y), and suicide(49k/y) kill far more people than the vaccine could possibly be linked to the COVID vaccines(8k in total).
Don’t at me for including abortion, I support abortion access and want it to be a free service, but we are talking about depopulation means and abortion is a means to depopulate.

If they give you what you want, but harass you enough, you may just stop using an ad blocker to watch the video and might just forget to turn it back once you are done.
If you had to unlock your bathroom door to enter or exit, you will either put forth effort to correct the problem or you will take the lazy route and just prop the door open.
I assume you mean for camping, you could, but the bird would probably love to chew through it and you are just inviting problems that shouldn’t exist. A cage would be smarter, but the while idea of taking a bird camping is just a dumb idea.
Easy to care for, not a great companion, usually not destructive for the sake of destruction and entertainment, almost no personality, can’t really mimmick sounds all that well, should have but doesn’t need a big cage, should have but doesn’t need as much time outside the cage as possible, shorter lifespan, bites are pretty weak but can still draw blood, doesn’t make a lot of loud noises, can’t play tricks on you and mimmick a laugh at your expense, more skiddish, low risk of psychological issues, harder to catch if they escape the cage or need to be put back quickly, cheap to buy and get setup for, hard to train.
They are good starter birds but don’t offer much of a parrot experience vs a cockatiel and far from an eclectus or bigger bird. Having a vet clipping their wings is wise so they are easier to catch without injury, but I favor full flight birds and I can catch a bird on the run with minimal difficulty.
Technically yes, but it is a far more tolerant species to inexperienced owners and can be a great starting point vs a budgie or finch.
OP wanted a parrot and I gave him a better option than an eclectus for his situation and experience.
Parrots are the type of animals that if you have to ask if you should get one, you shouldn’t.
They are like buying a permanent toddler with a pair of vice grips for a face that can develop trauma from innocuous things and well develop bad behaviors that have to be addressed appropriately or they will get worse. They can develop mental issues that can lead to self mutilation.
There is no guarantee that an eclectus will be anything like the bird you met. They all have different personalities and they are only vaguely similar. You can have one that is totally chill and loves to cuddle, or you can have one that has anxiety and will viciously attack water bottles and you have no idea what bird you have until it has gone through “puberty”.
If you want a bird, get a cockatiel, not a parrot.
Source: 25+ years of experience living with parrots and 4 years working in a pet store that sold parrots as the “bird guy”. My bird that has anxiety and viciously attacks water bottles is currently yelling from his cage because that is what he likes to do before bed for 10-15 minutes.
How a bird reacts to being abandoned in a strange location for a period of time depends on the bird and your relationship with the bird.
No, you can’t take a flying wild animal camping. The temperature alone would be a risk.
Yes, they can be fine riding in a vehicle if they are in a travel cage that is secure and possibly covered to minimize stress if the bird is overwhelmed. People lose their birds all the time for thinking a loose bird in a car is a smart idea.
Tell us you have no experience with parrots without telling us you have no experience with parrots.
The rich, because you will still be poor and they will be there to sell you everything once the dust settles.
Heavens no, his elevator takes a lifetime and you don’t get to listen to baby shark anywhere as much.
Baby shark on loop.
The elevator will take roughly an hour to descend 100m without an access card that only I have.
Small planes and jets are the lion’s share of aircraft incidents. They aren’t inspected as often(more in the case of personal planes), lack the stability of larger craft, and aren’t always flown by experienced pilots. Not to mention they frequent small dirt or grass airfields instead of commercial airport tarmac.
There are like 3-5 small aircraft crashes a day. Small aircraft crash at like 25x the rate of larger craft.
Jet engines are enclosed in a cowling that is designed to handle the engine coming apart. The smallest defect in a jet engine’s turbine blades can mean it detaches or deforms, which then causes further damage that will be injested by the engine.
Propellers have free access to the cabin but are subjected to far less forces than the blades of a jet engine, so their failure is less likely, even if damage is undetected.
Do with that what you will.
I honestly feel everything was downhill from the 90s.
You can’t even trust yourself or a friend to give an accurate depiction of reality. Reality is a totality of subjective consensus.
Science is so easily perverted by bias, that is why peer review is so important. There was a study done on saturated fats and their role in heart disease after Eisenhower had a heart attack in the 50s. The study concluded that there was a direct correlation between the amount of saturated fats and the increase in heart disease based on data gathered from 6 countries. Problem was that the study actually looked at 22 countries and they cherry-picked the 6 countries that showed that correlation and looking at all 22 countries showed no correlation. That is how saturated fats became maligned in nutritional guidelines. Best part? The scientist that did the study in the 50s was largely biased against saturated fats because he believed that cholesterol in the arteries had to be linked to fat in meat because it looked like animal fat. Real “meat makes maggots” logic, as disprovent by Redi.
Honestly, it would be more like the 90s. We didn’t have smartphones. We barely had the internet. We didn’t have 24/7 news media owned by like 4 people. Granted, bullshit, rumor, and lies spread really easily because we couldn’t Google anything that contradicted it; but nobody looks into anything that confirms a personal bias today anyways.
SSRIs and gacha games would do more to win the war than yarn balls.
Just draw a square on the ground with some Genshin wishes and Prozac in them and the war would be over in a month.
Starting a war, forgetting your gun somewhere and only having your spare one to work with, making the payment on your medical bills, remembering if the McRib is back, worrying that the exploited people who did all the things you don’t feel like doing will be deported, and forgetting to tell the President “thank you” every day as a tribute to their brilliant leadership.
