  • For the cowbird this is normal. Cowbirds are brood parasites, it's snuck in whilst the robin was away and laid it's egg for the robin to raise. If the robin is smart enough to notice what's happened they will often still raise it anyway, as the adult cowbird will be keeping an eye on the host nest and will destroy the other eggs if the robin rejects it.

  • My adopted cockerpoo x Labrador is much the same, super sweet, no aggressive behaviours but can't comprehend that every other person and dog wouldn't want to be best friends with him. He's getting better though and is now much more cautious approaching other dogs but will still run half way up to another dog, stop and wag his tail until the other dog comes up to him which can be stressful. Super fussy eater too, I'm told that's a poodle thing.

  • Always love seeing these come up and everyone confidently stating that it's been solved. Everything from a knitting tool (highly unlikely as the Romans didn't knit) to a dice. The truth is we just don't know and likely never will unless a new source .

    Personally I'm convinced by the theory that they're probably a metalworkers portfolio piece used to demonstrate the creators skill, either to potential customers or as a test to join a guild.

  • He's got Elven heritage. He's the 64th descendant of Elros, brother of Elrond. I think he's also decendend from a Maiar as Elros and Elrond's great great grandmother was Melian.

  • Bad, I'm lucky and live in a fairly afluent area of the south (but outside of London) but decades of conservative cuts have left our local government councils broke. My best friends moved to Europe because one of them worked in the arts and there's not enough jobs to support them in just the UK. The new Labour government is an improvement but has shifted significantly to the right in their policies and feels like Conservative Light and is actively persecuting Trans and immigrant people through it's policies to appeal to ex-conservatives. They're starting to seek closer ties to Europe again but everything feels pretty hopeless.

  • Actually c64 replacement parts are pretty affordably available these days and easily maintainable due to the comparable simplicity Vs modern computing hardware. One of the advantages of the age of hobbiest computing - the designs used widely available ICs that you can just buy and assemble on your kitchen table with a soldering iron.

  • Sadly the only way to know for sure is to test brain tissue, including in people, so there's no way to be certain without killing the potentially infected animal/person.

    There are a bunch of tests they can do for people that can potentially identify rabies (lumbar puncture, CT and MRI scans, skin biopsy, antibody test) but apparently it can still be easily missed even with all of these tests so they aren't enough for an accurate diagnoses.

  • Unfortunately quarantine and observation isn't effective as a testing strategy for animals, the disease can progress at different rates and it's possible for infected animals to show no symptoms. As rabies can't be treated after symptoms start showing, they can't take the time to do this.
