morning @TelKitty

@SterlingArcher love it!

@YvetteColomb morning :)

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog Yeah, I used to have a rooster that I gave to a friend on a farm because it's illegal to keep roosters at where I live. She gave it back to me a few months later because the rooster chased her nephew and caused him to fall, he had a few stitches because of the fall. Fowls can be aggressive. I would not be surprised if peacock is the same.

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog I don't know how likely, I do know people often misread animal communications. The peacock was telling them to get lost. He opened his wings in a sign of aggression to say "move on" and the parents weren't sensible enough to tell the kids to move away and give him space. I'm so strict with my horses and people get upset with me sometimes, I try to warn people, what can seem cute may be a warning and if a horse turns and kicks you, they can inflict serious damage - or even kill a person

@TelKitty I have a research scholarship for one year approved in principle

Awesome!

@TelKitty ikr.. applying for a Master of Philosophy - then will apply for PhD - so it's exciting to get a scholarship - takes the pressure of working

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog hey - post a question on Pets.se and @jour you can answer it!!

well - actually I've known people who've kept them as pets

and you know I'm always "community building" on my pet pets site (bad pun intended)

@JourneymanGeek they can be, I was almost tempted to buy one before ... they are not particularly expensive

@TelKitty maybe they're more popular in Australia?

as pets I mean

If you get attacked by a peacock because you refuse to respect its body language it'll probably teach you a valuable lesson that will also pay off in human interaction.

morning

I wonder whether key SE people are now feeling retarded because of the backlash from community

I would call it 'drama of SE' and would not take it seriously

@JourneymanGeek users aren't retarded

Now I need to think very hard: whether to continue this conversation in regards to the drama or should I go out to buy items needed to make a better track for the autonomous (toy) car ...

I think I have been too much of a cheapskate and this slowed down my progress (mail delivery for cheap components etc)

@JourneymanGeek that's what I am going to do then :D

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog yep got that lol. it was a lazy mouse/keyboard situation LOL

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog I think it's a great idea. Many zoos will let birds run free

@user5389107 I rent someone's land. There's quite a few acres.

a pelican grabbed my son's entire arm when he was 5 to take his chip

at a zoo

@user5389107 aw that's so sweet

are you Mags?

curse your generci username

hey the foals are going really well and my mare is still pregnant

yes!

I was talking to a uni lecturer while I was at the paddock, he asked how many I had I said 6.95 possibly 6.98

lol

No, it's SQL Server

Doesn't have that either. Just LIKE

@PrincessLuna Exactly so. I did request full text search once but ... crickets

Not that that would do what regex search does anyway, but hey

What sort of search are you looking to perform?

Ah poor old SEDE being hammered by such queries lately

I blame the whole series of events on this, some people are too envy to accept a happy ever after ending ... >_<

I wonder if there has been any attempt to coordinate such efforts on a meta anywhere

Yep yep

The download is quite large though.

Took me about 20 mins at 200Mbps and then another half hour or so to decompress.

@user5389107 as long as you don't flag me for it

Why oh why SE/SO chose case-sensitive collation :(

Comments should cost rep
