If anyone is wondering I’m petty sure gasoline doesn’t foam like you see on the top if you look close enough. The colour is also clear or very slightly yellow (unless additives have been added), so the colour on these doesn’t look right. It’s more than likely a joke using beer.

You mean like… curtains?

Slaves. The answer is slaves. And the framework for this already exists because prison labour is legalised slavery. They have already said they want to imprison anyone they don’t agree with. Given that includes all kinds of minorities and people who don’t agree with them politically, they are pretty much spoiled for choice. If you are in the US and fall under either of those categories you should be looking at how to get out.

Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I’m feeling fancy/not lazy I’ll add some chopped shallots or scallions.

Yeah Combogesic is an example of combined ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Advil also makes a combo of the two as well. The main issue to keep track of what you’re taking and take care that you don’t exceed the daily dose for each. That’s something to watch out for whether you take them separately or in combination with one another.

As I said lower down, you can take ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) together . It’s advised you wait an hour after you take one type before you take the other to see if the first medication works well enough. There are even medications sold as a combination of both. What detrimental “synergistic effects” are you talking about?

Where have you been told this? Are you perhaps confusing acetaminophen for something else? Doctors will tell you that you can take ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) together . It’s advised you wait an hour after you take one type before you take the other to see if the first medication works well enough. There are even medications sold as a combination of both. What you shouldn’t take ibuprofen along with other Non-steroidal anti-i inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin.

They may be magnificent, but are they powerful?

Whoever said bird people are boring clearly hasn’t seen some of the names they come up with.

Hmmm flying in formation like that sounds more like waterfowl. Could it be cormorants? Are you by the shore or near a large body of water? They can be all black like crows and the begging sound of the double crested cormorant does sound kind of seagull-y?

If they’re fish crows though, that’s cool, they’re rarer than the carrion crows we’re more used to. In any case I’m glad if I could be of help and I hope you continue to enjoy listening to and watching birds!

Hmm when you say flying in formation do you mean in like a cloud or a specific shape? If so could be starlings as they have a very varied repertoire of songs and can mimic other birds (which might explain why Merlin can’t identify them)

When you say ‘jagged wings’ do you mean you can see the individual feather tips (like fingers)? Could be fish crows? The juvenile sound could be a little seagull-y?

Grackles are usually fully black apart from having lighter eyes. Some species flock together, and like starlings they also minic other birds.

Edit: one thing to note is Merlin doesn’t always work well if you’ve turned GPS off on the phone. That might also interfere with identification

Where are you based approximately? Europe/Asia/US/etc? Is the bird fully black? Same size as a crow? Any distinguishing information might help!

If anyone is wondering, that’s a red-backed fairywren. Here’s some other great fairywrens (literally, it’s in their names):

Superb fairywren

Splendid fairywren

Should…should we tell Squizzy?
