I'm worried I'm not gonna meet anybody and I feel like I should ask for some advice on what to do to not be alone for the entire year lmao ; ;

Question Job Search Sites

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, looking for what websites/apps people are using to post job ads on and search for jobs.

We use Indeed and the talent pool is extremely lacking and not having much success with free ads as well as sponsoring the ad.

Trying to get some feedback from a few sources and thought I would check here as well. 

TIA

Question Corvid rehabilitation?

7 Upvotes

I've had a young crow hunkered down on my patio railing for about 13hrs now...from 7pm last night. Can stand on both feet. Can fly but doesn't seems to want to. He has fallen off my railing a couple times (it's a bit slippy) and this is what triggered my concern. As most the crows just fly to catch themselves. But this little made his way back 2x after falling. Right now he appears to be sleeping. Fluffed up and body perched closer to his feet. Any one have any ideas. My local crows have been around and don't bother him or seem to pay any attention. I'm not sure if I'm over reacting, or what to do really.

Ps...the cloth was for traction but I have removed it as was scared he or others would get their claws stuck.

Discussion People need to learn how roundabouts work.

33 Upvotes

I’m specifically talking about the one on McKenzie Road and where you can exit off to highway 2 south in Gasoline Alley. I live near there, and every single time without fail I will always see a near accident because someone doesn’t know that when you’re in the inside lane, you can ONLY exit left. Not go straight through, only the outside lane can.

Countless times I see it happen. And it just happened to me. There’s signs and road markings telling you this. My wife and I yesterday decided to count how many would do it wrong when we came up to it during a busy time. And in a matter of 40 seconds, three people got into near accidents. I don’t understand how this one is so difficult for people to understand. It’s especially the worst when the people on the inside lane lay on their horn because they think they’re in the right.

Please people, pay attention to the road signs and markings, it’s really not that difficult. I understand roundabouts haven’t always been common here, but just be aware. There’s my rant.
