What industry do you work in and what are the LPT the general public should know about it?
  • Never tried, but I think it would work. Oxygen is the enemy, but the reason is because oxidation leads to other byproducts that lead to a stale flavor. I believe the cold temperature slows all that down.

  • You can freeze chips/crisps indefinitely. I used to work for Frito Lay. Just thaw them when you get close to snack time. Of course I never do this because I just eat the chips I have at home.

    Fire that killed 1.3 million chickens in Illinois
  • Extinguishers wouldn't do much, but you may mean fire sprinklers, but that's probably never going to be installed. You'd have to inspect, test and maintain that system, and who wants to invest time and money in that.

    I think I got a pretty decent bino shot of a double-crested cormorant. Today in northeast Ohio.
  • Thanks, there are some neat advances in technology to help with enhancing cellphone photos, yes, some of them involve AI to help upscale the resolution and refine the details. If you're on Instagram you can check out my content on 'theCronicBirder'

  • Not OP, but all I do is digiscope and, yes, all OP needs to do is edit the pic on their phone, hit the button that "auto-adjusts" the colors, etc. And it usually looks way better. Here's an example, I took through a scope, afterwards I used more advanced software magic:

    Baby Killdeer I rescued from a storm drain
  • The bird makes a call that sounds like the word "dee", over and over. Just as someone who runs is a runner, a bird that's dees, is a dee-r, so it's not deer in the sense of the animal the way you may think. At least that's what I've been told. The "kill" part is a bit strange, but I'm assuming it comes from the fact that this bird will feign a broken wing to distract a predator away from their nest. All in all, I'm really not sure on the origin of the name, but that's what I've learned in my last 3 years of actively being a part of the birding community.

  • My Vortex Viper HD Spotting Scope with Ollin magnetic adapter. I go birding, and take bird videos with this combo. Super easy to digiscope with (no more fidgeting with the adapter) and the magnification on the scope is pretty powerful. Shameless plug for my Instagram @thecronicbirder

    What unusual genre mixing video games would you recommend to try?
  • Odama. Navigate your troops through a battlefield set in feudal Japan, but throw in pinball machine mechanics. Also, yell commands at your troops with the included microphone. For N64.
