Solid (opaque) elements on windows do work, even if it's dirty it can reflect the sky or nearby trees. If you'd like to reduce the jump scares there are stickers you can put on the glass!

Way to go Michigan! Actually governing for the benefit of it's citizens instead of chasing drag-queen-boogeymen.
This is what happens when you actually bother to vote, people.

It would hilarious if this turned into a viral movement, sports, comedy shows, Shakespeare--oh, wait.

My dad became a widower in summer 2020, shortly before his 80s birthday. He was in such deep grief (they were married for over 50 years)... Late last year, he hooked up with a nice lady of similar age (and through online dating!), now she moved in with him.
In other words: Hang in there, there may still be someone for you.
Or who knows, as time passes, you may find happiness without a partner as well. The grief will pass. Slowly, and in waves, but eventually they'll get smaller and smaller.

Why is every single story posted in this subreddit actually depressing, and then has some very minor redemption that in no way makes the original circumstance actually any less horrible?
Why can't, for once, we have an uplifting news story that is actually uplifting?
It's always something like, "Six year old born without arms, legs, or eyes who was abandoned in a dumpster behind an Applebees receives over a dozen stuffed teddy bears by the first responders who found him"

Th saddest thing I've seen was a goose standing beside their dead partner that got hit by a vehicle on the highway. It was just standing there honking the saddest honks ive ever heard.
Just remembering it makes me sad. That poor goose.

Good on you Noelene! I'm 50 and just joined a gym for the first time in my life and am seeing amazing results. Able to get around much easier, jump up out of chairs, weird pains almost gone, I feel 20 years younger and it's only been 4 months of daily strength training. I may be more wrinklier than I was 20 years ago but I was a lot fatter and sicker then, excited to see what the next 4 months can bring if I can keep at it. Been overweight and unhealthy most my life, there's a chance the last part could be the best, then again with my luck right after I hit my ideal weight in 6 months, I'll stroke out.

Reply to comment by TipsySally in 'Thrilling' success of breeding endangered mouse in captivity, with tiny squeaks heard from nests by Sariel007
Well, mice are actually not going extinct. This was just an endangered mouse species that is currently being saved
There are thousands of species of mice and rats, almost all of them of least concern, most rodents are of least concern actually.

Birds can see light in the uv spectrum. There are films and repellants you can apply that fluoresce to them in daylight. So they can see it and we can not.
Its a fun research dive. Theres a lot of birds that have uv reactive markings that we cannot see on them, but they can.
