Considering you don't even know how to spell the name of the company you claim to have worked for (Nielsen), I find your claim to have done this highly dubious. Of course, even if you did, coming on a public forum and admitting you did it shows that you aren't the sharpest tool in the shed.

"Death knell " is a real phrase. So is "nail in the coffin."

"Death nail" is not, yet I've seen it used twice in this site in as many days. Annoying.

Watching two schizophrenics having a conversation is a fascinating experience.

This is so beyond wrong. Even in the 40's-60's period you mention, the consensus was that the "live" look seemed cheap and hokey in comparison to the lower frame rate (and shallower depth of field) "film" look.
This is the main reason that the Twilight Zone's experiment with high frame rate video lasted all of six episodes before switching back to all film. People didn't like what was then one of the most visually sophisticated shows on TV suddenly looking cheap and tacky.

The birds are perfectly capable of finding water on their own. So what you are doing is essentially baiting them into coming to a place where you know there are predators likely to kill them out of your own selfish desire to "see the birdies."

The cat can't help but follow its its instincts. YOU are the bird murderer/pest.

Hate to break it to you, but if you are in the U.S., the rock pigeons and starlings that are the most likely birds to be coming to visit your balcony are invasives, too.

And the starlings in particular alone have caused a LOT more ecological damage to native birds (and agriculture) than housecats ever have.

Warrants are issued based on unauthenticated video/other evidence all the time. You might not end up with a conviction, but you can still easily be subjected to all the pain of going through the criminal justice system, including jail time while awaiting trial, before tou get those charges thrown out.

Poor white people are just as likely to commit as many crimes as poor black people, per capita. A big part of skewed crime statistics stem from the fact that a) black people are more likely to be poor, and b) inner cities, where police presence is higher, are likely to produce more arrests, prosecutions, and convictions.

When looking at methed-out poor white rural areas, the the rates of commission of crimes per capita tend to actually be substantially higher than what you see in the inner cities.

And if you RTFA, you'd see to guessed wrong. Apparently, it was an "MAP" flag, which is apparently its own whole thing.

This guy is a self-described âoeanti-contact non-offending pedophile."

Not sure how much sympathy he'd have for POTUS, considering even some of the photos we've seen of him and Ivanka.

Uh, "DIR A:"?

It's not like it's a challenge to look at the time stamps on the files for DOS diskettes.

Russians and Chinese are once again allies, so likely no rubles involved. Beaides, there's plenty of good ole 'Merkin racism out there for free.

In a sea of stupid takes, this is among the stupidest.

Recreational birdwatchers will gladly plop down thousands of dollars (those Swarovski binoculars ain't cheap!) and sit patiently for hours on end in horrible conditions just for the chance of spotting a rare and elusive species.

And the folks that -do- make money describing rare sightings and coming up with theories behind them? Those are wildlife biologists who have spent years of blood, sweat, and tears to earn PhDs and the true expertise needed to actually get paid to hold one of the scarce positions available in the field of ornithology.

Great idea! Once you're out of the store, shopkeeper's privilege doesn't apply, and now the store is on the hook for assault and battery.

Literally no one has ever been killed by falling birdshot, which is what he is clearly talking about. Hell, even I know that, and I'm one of those gun-grabbing leftists.
