OT - NO POLITICS Spring has sprung

Saw this dude in the middle of the street. By the time I got a box they were almost across. Didnt want to pick them up by their shell and hurt them or get bit. Idk what kind of turtle this is.

looks like a snapper.
you can pick them up by the shell length wise. Behind the head and ass of the shell.
your hands will smell rank for the rest of the day though.lol
 
I don’t plan on leaving the projector facing this wall, but it works fine for the time being. Screen is just shy of 130” diagonal. This photo was taken today about 10am, just with the windows and doors of the basement closed. Even with light walls, light floors, and white ceiling, the glare is totally fine so I’m not concerned about lighting moving forward. I don’t like this wall because oriented with the surround sound it’s facing 9 o clock rather than 12. The audio sounds weird coming from deep right field. Also, the angle is harsh on the projector and I don’t want to keystone correct too much. Picture quality on the bottom right degrades too much in this case. But again it’s fine for now. I’m gonna leave it like this until I have the time and energy to find a pull down screen solution that I can safely mount where I originally intended.

Awesome turtle!!! If you move a turtle to the side of the road, always place him/her to the direction they are going. They will turn around and possibly be back in the road.

.....the more you know.....

I think I have posted about the tiny ducks that we have been finding hidden around the house for months now. Dozens of them - I lost count! They show up everywhere! Today, the "Duck Fairy" knocked it out of the park - we woke up to this:

There is a department in our company, where the manager and all employees in it permanently have their out of office automated email replies on.

It says "Thank you for your email. I will respond as soon as possible."

Every single day. If you email one of them, you get that completely useless message. And it drives me INSANE. Especially when I have to send a message to the entire company and get flooded with 25 automated replies.

"Oh but we want our customers to know we got their email!" You do you, then, and it's still stupid, but at least set it so it only goes to external emails.

Do they know most email programs have a Delivery Receipt function? Or a Read Receipt function? In Outlook, they are under Tracking.
