The crows and the bees seem to like this bird bath.

 
 
 

This guy pulled out a feather that seemed to be annoying him on a hot day and he stuck it in the bubbler water fountain.

The word pen comes from the Latin word penna meaning feather.

 

Don't worry, the fledgling got plenty of food before and after this.

Several in fact.

Technically, you could say we're the ones who set since it's the Earth's rotation causing the change.

California also isn't an island, but it's named after a fictional island in a Spanish novel, and was once thought to be an island.

Taking someone's lead sounds like a British saying indicating the opposite of following someone's lead. It sounds like you're taking someone's leash in your hands and directing them where to go.

EMP, MRI, or what about anti-nanobots? If you can program nanobots that kill people with particular DNA, couldn't you program nanobots that target other nanobots? I would assume they hadn't yet built in a self-defense protocol for the nanobots since they were cutting edge and not assumed to have any countermeasures yet. Anti-nanobots seem just as plausible as DNA targeting nanobots.

Die Another Day was meh, but I really didn't care for Skyfall and No Time to Die. The plots were too contingent on inorganic and out of character details. Q wouldn't be stupid enough to plug a USB drive into an MI6 networked device found on a known hacker supervillain. The convenience of the targeted DNA nanobots just magically being declared to have no solution without anyone doing any testing of theories was unbelievable and just revealed the obvious "we need to kill Bond in this one so come up with a reason for him to die nobly" pitch meeting pitch. It ruined the suspension of disbelief entirely. I feel like they just tried too hard to keep upping the stakes and outdo themselves that it just got ridiculous.

Without consent, it would definitely be unethical.

I've crossposted this to !crows@lemmy.ml since others might be interested there. Thanks.

It's still great. No problems so far. I have fewer issues with it at home than I do with some of the Prusas I use at work.
