My African Grey could easily cause me serious damage but he does hold back by only giving me warning bites. He thinks he’s being gentle but it still hurts and I don’t ever forget what they are capable of.

Ooo yea rubbing alcohol works too in a pinch. I’ve been lucky enough not to have to do it. I typically stuck to working with our carpet pythons and left the boas to my husband.

No not where I live. When my husband and I kept hot inverts along with our snakes I kept a comprehensive supplemental insurance just in case someone got hurt, but the laws here only apply for reporting illegal animals.

The key to dealing with a (pet) snake bite is to not pull back in fear. Their teeth are definitely like Velcro. Usually I’d just let them go to town and then run some hot tap water over their head. They don’t like the water and immediately let go. With birds you’re getting hurt no matter what you do.

Crazy parrot and reptile lady here to confirm. I would much rather take a bite from a large snake any day of the week than take a bite from one of my birds. I’ve had to get stitches multiple times because of my little feathered assholes.

Had a good snort at that title. Well played.
- Comment on Ya know what they say about big noses.... 1 week ago:
Well at the the article did sort of explain why the team was pursuing this line of study. Too bad they didn’t learn anything more useful.

Can confirm as I am allergic to walnuts.
- Comment on Wgen you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be? 2 months ago:
I believe the only time it is designed like that is for autologous donations. That is where you donate specifically for yourself ahead of time for a procedure. This is really helpful for people with special blood needs or religious exemptions but it’s not really done too often. The only other case I can think of off the top of my head is that new moms can have cord blood banked for personal future use or donate it to stem cell research.
- Comment on Wgen you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be? 2 months ago:
Do you get lab tests done or annual vaccinations? Because many components used in these products are also provided from processing blood donations. Blood donations are never wasted as everything gets used for something in healthcare. Check out the AABB site for more information. Blood donations are a true gift.

That was my immediate first thought.

And if you do want more try out Unfinished Swan.
- Comment on One of capitalisms biggest tragedies 4 months ago:
I kind of get the point you’re trying to make but I very much disagree. This line of thinking is one of the reasons US healthcare is so hellbent on pushing PAs and NPs to fill the doctor gap. And it’s not working because there is no substitute for a well trained doctor or specialist.

I got the expensive feather down pillows that Bed Bath and Beyond used to sell as their house brand.
- Comment on Young adults set an earlier bedtime as they navigate economic fatigue, wellness trends, and a loneliness epidemic 4 months ago:
Haha no just want to share the love. I am super cheap and I splurged on getting a top quality pillow a few years back and it was so worth it. I really wish I’d done it sooner.

Pull the trigger on that pillow I promise you won’t regret it.
- Comment on Google lays off “hundreds” more as ad division switches to AI-powered sales 5 months ago:
I think they don’t care if AI does a good job. I think that they will provide the AI capabilities to their lowest clients and keep the human sales team for the clients who are willing to spend more money. When you can no longer increase your sales base you start focusing on the ones you can milk for more.
- Comment on Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything 5 months ago:
OMG how could you do this to me.
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 5 months ago:
Minecraft. I love building crazy things in creative mode or on peaceful but I will never play with monsters on or even attempt to fight the Nether dragon.

Now this is a quality shit post! Happy New Year and thanks for all the laughs.

I just finished Talos Principle 2 and what a ride! I love Turing Test too and would also suggest Spectrum Retreat to scratch that puzzling itch.

Wow that woman was so incredibly lucky she didn’t die. This is a true nightmare scenario.
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 6 months ago:
I’m still playing Animal Crossing at the moment but I did just pick up Cult of the Lamb for the Thanksgiving sale. And my husband has been killing himself trying to learn how to survive in Don’t Starve. It’s been very entertaining.
- Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them 6 months ago:
I was shocked a few weeks ago that I had to get an assistant override for buying DayQuil. I mean I guess it makes sense but I would have gone through a regular cashier lane if I had known. They should be able to scan your ID considering most of them have cameras on them now.
- Comment on Amazon exec says it’s time for RTO: ‘I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better’ 6 months ago:
Saying “females” is just one step above saying “bitches.” That’s how it hits my ear at any rate.
- Comment on What moment from a video game made you cry? 6 months ago:
When my husband was playing this through for the first time I was watching him play and guessed what was happening when John was getting ready to propose to Abigail. We both watched that lovely cutscene teary eyed. It really reminded us of our engagement.
- Comment on I feel like I need a separate body towel (big towel), and 3 other small towels for hair, face, and hands. 4 towels in total. Is that normal? 6 months ago:
Something I learned taking college microbiology was that if you reuse towels for drying off make sure one end (like the end with the tag) is dedicated for your bottom half and the other for the top. That way you don’t accidentally get your genital flora in your eyes/face.
