You seem to be the one who started an argument with a stranger on the internet.

Again, have a great day. That’s what I’m gonna go do.

Animals are dying. I don’t know about you, but I’m for making that happen less rather than arguing about semantics with someone on Reddit.

Have a good day.

We’re splitting hairs here.

Plenty do survive. Plenty die as well.

My point is animals do get harmed because of negligence, and as this post indicates, not many people are even aware of birds get transported this way. Awareness can hopefully lead to improving the process so that fewer birds are harmed.

When she gets calls to pick them up, the majority don’t make it.

A lot of people don’t know how to properly ship birds.

My mom raises chickens and has gotten quite a few calls from her county’s animal control after the post office received shipments of chicks that couldn’t be delivered.

Shipping chicks that young is really risky and most sadly don’t make it.

Fair enough. I'm on a list to be emailed if and when Verizon offers anything but DSL in my neighborhood so I'll be on the lookout. I'm still pretty certain they've given up on my area though.

The curmudgeons in my community won’t allow Verizon to install Fios in the area, otherwise I’d happily consider Verizon.

My first year with Comcast, my bill was under $70 for everything (internet and cable with all the premium channels). Now I’m at over $140 for internet and their second tier cable. I call every year trying to get a better rate (doing the whole cancel script) and this year they told me the best deal they could give me was over $200. When I reminded them that was more than I currently pay, they suggested I see if I qualify for the low income credit to try and lower my bill.

I hate Comcast, but it’s the only reliable provider in my area so I’m screwed.

Welcome to being a Comcast customer.

I used to do this too, but their phone tree now aggressively pushes you back to the AI chat even if you try all the cancelling tactics. Once you get routed to a person, it’s likely not the right one, at which point the aggressive push toward the chatbot comes back.

It’s awful.

This was my experience last month trying to cancel my service. It was absolutely horrible. Even when you call them, they try and push you back to the chatbot. I’m a pretty patient person, but I went the route of yelling at the phone tree for a person after a while.

Pretty sure Olive Grove and G&M are owned by the same people

When I was a kid, I won two goldfish at the carnival. I was so excited to put them in my dad’s fish tank at home. He was less thrilled about my “poopy goldfish” living in his nice tropical tank. Eventually he caved, because I assume my mom pointed out that a happy wife and kid were more important than his fish tank. Plus “they were just carnival fish so they’d probably die soon anyway,” he said. Those goldfish ended up living for years, including making it through a move to a new house and a new tank. When the last one finally died he was far too big to flush. I asked my dad what he did with it, and he said he just threw it out for the birds. Little me was heartbroken, but my dad hated those goldfish all the way to the end.

Mines just on a wireless charger, so definitely not charging at 20W, and I haven't had issues with other phones or devices heating up on this charger either.

I've noticed it with my 14 Pro as well.

I usually see it with my podcasting app and only notice when my phone throws an alert saying charging will resume when the phone temperature returns to normal.

My old phone was a XS and started getting them frequently around iOS 16 as well, but that seemed reasonable because it was an older device and I would get them when it was being put in strenuous situations (like being used in the sun in the car for GPS and music).

Seeing it on my 14 Pro, while it's charging in my 68 degree office that's no where near sun while just listening to a podcast seems like a flaw.

But why?

For real, what are a bunch of Redditors going to do? OP we don't work there...
