➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[muddy75]

just called my current hatch...they were mostly early quitters with a couple that were late/last-minute quitters....I candled and moved my homegrown batch to the J12 and only had 2 clear of 24 eggs!!! so i’ve still got over 90% fertility even though there’s less eggs daily.

Dang, I came back to a major math lesson. I think my brain hurts just reading it.

no.....we lost him in 2016 to a broken back.....he was 2 months from his 5th birthday!

So sorry to hear about your dog, Muddy.

This is what I tell my work mates:
2+2 is somewhere between 3 and 5. How accurate is the "2"?

In other words, how much time, money, and effort do you want to invest in an answer that may or may not be to the question asked? Imprecise or efficient?

How close is close enough? For example, -20°C is bloody cold. So is -5°C. Therefore, anything less than 33°F is cold. Oops metric, anything less than 273.706°K is cold.

Did you hear about the chemist who froze himself to absolute zero?

He is 0K. (0°K).

For you Aggies, 0°K is absolute zero.

POST OF THE DAY!

That I leave up to the context. In certain areas, or goals, precision to dozens of decimal places is not only necessary, but it is also a thing of beauty. One needs to look no further than to the disastrous first images from the Hubble telescope to see that. In others, such as figuring out if your American friends are getting sunburnt or frostbitten... conserving time ekes out precedence.

Precision in itself risks becoming fanatical, self absorbed, pointless. This is not to say that sloppiness should be revered, but rather that mechanical progress should be tempered with a respect for human craftmanship. I am all for being specific in one's language, for vague references are the cover of fools—but I also see limits for rationality being breached now and then.

Poetry! Pure poetry. Preciseness precedes psychosis. Batty's boundless bandwidth boggles the brain. Beseeches brainlessness. Beckons delirium. Divine, delicious delirium.

Back to temperature. Since we can't feel the difference between 1 Fahrenheit nor 1 Celsius, does it matter if it is 90 or 85? 15 or 20? By the way, did you calibrate your thermometer today? It's probably off. Feelings are fleeting. Temperature is perception. Truth is a lie.

What is the difference between apathy and ignorance? I don't care and I don't know.

You guys are way too smart

But I do agree with all of this. And loved this post and Bantys. definitely poetry.

Banty kinda lost me in the last paragraph but poetry nonetheless.

And that’s true! Never thought of it that way before. I don’t go hmmm it’s exactly 99.5239 out today. I go damn it’s hot out. Or huh doesn’t feel bad today. Or sooo huuuuumiddddd.

Loving all this writing/poetry/art with words though so keep it up. or maybe we should start a poetry thread since you all have such a way with words haha

He is speaking for himself.
No one else can do this.

Umm... actually I do a lot of math in my head. I was making my students' heads hurt just today explaining base other math (base 2, binary, base 16, hexidecimal, and just for giggles and laughs, base 12 just to show that the math works no matter what). It's a hard concept to wrap your head around if you've never done anything other than base 10.

Somewhat back on topic, look at what came home with me from @CoturnixComplex ! Aren't they pretty? I'm keeping them separate until I can give them a proper intro to the rest of the flock starting Friday (close where they can see and hear each other, but separate) and hopefully integrating on Monday after work so I can keep an eye on them.

You completely lost me. have absolutely nooo clue what any of that stuff is.

Base? Huh?

Also, students?? Are you a teacher? A math teacher by any chance?

And ooooohhhhhh pretty!!!!

Also this whole thing reminds me of this.
