Trumps bible. Fuck yeah!

The nestcam is back, now with sound.

The osprey couple from last year is back, but another couple also claims the nest. Who will win the right to it? Time will show.

A strong poem by Arnulf Øverland. He wrote it just before the start of WW2, but it's just as valid today. English translation first, then the original: YOU MUST NOT SLEEP! I awoke one night from a disturbing dream; It felt as if a strange voice spoke earnestly, Low as a faint, subterranean stream. I...

TIL that the Cheesecake Factory is a real thing and not something dreamt up for the Big Bang Theory.

The mother is currently in Morocco. The whereabouts of the others are unknown, since they don't have trackers. The nest is empty and the camera has been taken down. https://i.imgur.com/1syfq67.jpg https://i.imgur.com/S2Qk7vW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sMPLqxZ.jpg A branch behind the camera the birds of...

It seems like the ospreys have left the nest now. Only a crow is sometimes visiting from time to time, in hope of a snack left behind. The fledglings won't come back to Norway until 2025, if they survive, and not to the same nest. If the parents survive, they will try to use the same nest next spring.

I wonder if the correct term in English of these fish eagles is Ospreys.

Most certainly not desert in the nest now. Cold rain and the forecast say it will stay this way for a few days. https://i.imgur.com/5aEOvJ7.jpg Mother is now around Le Mans, France. (She has a tracker.) If a fledgling isn't able to catch its own food soon, it will starve and die. They're already lat...

The mother has now left the nest to migrate south. Her goal is a place in west Sahara. The fledglings and father remain a little while longer, but soon the fledglings will depart south, then the father will "close" the nest for the winter and leave a little later. The kids have both manage...

Both eaglets are now grown up in size and fly around and often sit on branches outside the camera's coverage. They still get fed from the parents. Nest is often empty, but not always. Is is correct to call them eaglets when they're grown? They are now like late teenagers, I guess. Kinda fully grown...

As I have often pointed out to people, in nature predators don't hunt to kill , they hunt to eat . With sometimes unfortunate implications for the meal. Concepts like "a clean kill" and "a humane death" are entirely human concepts, and not even universal amongst our kind. There'...

Well, it's a bit fuzzy, but when they leave the nest for good they're definitely eagles. Before that use your judgement - do they look more like adults or babies at this point? Definitely more like grown eagles now. Maybe just call them the offspring for now. Mother came with a very alive fish arou...

Are you viewing this board through http or https ?

Because youtube embedding only works for people using http.

I use http all the way, both forum and link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxtvvRmZFWU

Working fine here. Yes, by SWFT.

A rather nice video about the galactic empire.

One eaglet is now flying around a little while the other is still at most just hovering a bit above the nest. Just a few days more, and they will both be flying around.

>cough< In English a "chicken" is a very specific type of bird, Gallus domesticus . Needless to say, the most recent posts in this thread were confusing to me because the only reason I could think of for a G. domesticus to be in an eagle's nest would be very, very bad for the G. domesticu...

Today at noon Norwegian time (about an hour ago, check time stamp of this post), the chicken got tagged. I bet it must be a very scary experience for it, kinda like an alien abduction. You can rewind up to 6 hours to check it out.

Oh, the chicken is growing so fast. I can almost see it from day to day.
There's something wrong with the mic, so very little sound.

This is really slow TV.
It shows the nest of an eagle in the Oslofjord of Norway.

It can be relaxing to just have on a monitor.

Is this necro? I'm not sure anymore. Anyway... My closest brush with death... Let's see... In 2012 I got a bad case of pulmonary embolism. I could breathe, but the oxygen didn't reach my blood and I was exhausted by just standing up. Thankfully, I was at a friends place and she was educating herself...

Sounds like gravlax to me, but you don't rinse that afterwards, just scrape it and it's kinda salty and thinly sliced. One of the few fish things I can stand, I really don't like fish or seafood otherwise. AHHA! Another TIL from yesterday!! Gravlax is SMOKED. This was just ... pickled... for lack o...

Nice! Are you sure you don't mean i9-7940x? The 7640 belongs to an i5, methinks. *checks my notes* Yes, 7940X. It's a big jump going from a 1060, 8 gigs of ram and an i5. Oh yeah, you're gonna feel that one. Myself, I have an 8 year old i7-4790K with a somewhat newer RTX3060ti and 32GB DDR3. The ne...

Most sites/youtubers review power consumption at peak performance. I've been looking for a review for power consumption at idling and light work, since my computer is idling/playing Spotify/light surfing at least 95% of the time. Finally, I found one, and I share it with you guys as you might've bee...
