I have a similar relationship with my neurologist. I’ve been seeing him for over 15 years for stabby appointments. That is to say I get something like 60-80 injections every time I see him. He isn’t in a position to give me tests, but he does use the things I say to help his other patients.

Its botox injections for migraine, and he’s one of the first people to pick up doing it, so he’s seen some shit. Nothing I say surprises him at all, unless its FUN. So early on when my skin was still reacting to it big time, i told him i sort of liked that I looked like a klingon after my appointments, and thats what I always told people because I needed to go to a brewery after to make the pain suck less.

Im also almost always on board to be a training pin cushion for residents. So much that if the resident doesn’t understand what I’m offering them (a willing participant to their education; a unicorn), he just says “if you are ready to practice injections, she’s offering, and she doesn’t flinch”.

Because I’m used to it. I try not to flinch because that’s worse. I’m pretty upbeat about the whole thing. And I recently found out he has patients who scream about it every single spot. Holy fuck. I can’t imagine being that sensitive. So now i understand why he admitted to his existential crisis to me. (“I feel like I’m going to hell for causing people such pain as part of my job” he’s retirement age or older, so understandable thought)

Super fair and was mostly and idk situation o just know what we see as motion they typically don’t and so was a bit confused.

All good think we are on the same page :)

Ima have to try and see how they react.

But chickens process 120-200 fps so I don’t think that’d do the job to show them motion. (Which makes sense, they fly and have to dodge stuff in flight at high speeds)

I may have been mistaken about what hz refers to…? Not sure. Don’t… think so…? I know its refresh rate, i just don’t know how thats different.

Also fwiw some movies seem jittery to me… so maybe we need more than 24 as a normal allotment. :)

Hmm… my chickens are very spoiled but they aren’t “have their own tv” spoiled… yet…

Im not sure how much good a tv does with birds though, they see at over 120hz, to our 60hz so most of what we see as motion on tv they see as a series of still images

I had woodpeckers bang on my siding next to the window to let me know the suet was bad for about 10 years.

It was steel siding at the time, and they left several nice dents.

As much as I’d love to keep feeding them, I had my siding replaced by insurance with vinyl (unrelated issue) and don’t really want holes all up it… so i weaned before it was replaced. Just attending their demands less frequently.

Hasn’t been an issue in the last year.
