This #NationalNestboxWeek, remember not all birds nest the same way!
Here's a few options to get you started...
Robins and Wrens like to keep hidden, tucking their nests away in dense cover.
An open-fronted box placed low down and out of sight is just their style.

me, interacting with every tech product I must use daily now:
Apparently this season is only 10 episodes which means at the current pace based on the manga, this season will end right before the Macht arc. A bit disappointed since it's a really good story but if it means getting a third season I'm fine with that.
For some reason, I failed to mention the second season of Sousou no Frieren which is also airing next season. It's going to cover the Macht arc of the story and I can't wait. No idea if it will be 2 cours but I feel the Macht arc could cover 1 full cour.

I love Bea so much. She's such a goober. The fact that Aya Hirano voices Bea & Kana Hanazawa voices Zeta make them (and the Society) my favorite squad in GBF.
I never finished the original Relink because I'm old & couldn't complete any of the higher level missions. Too many button clicks.

Beatrix will be available to play during the Closed Beta, which is why only she got a gameplay introduction in the showcase - she’ll use the Delta Clock to cycle buffs between attack, defense, and healing. Fill up the clock to unleash speed and more buffs too

The science nerd in me is also loving Curious Cases from the BBC. I like the way they present each question and the banter between the hosts. I just wish there was an easier way for me to binge the series without having to download each episode.

The Winter anime season tends to be a slow season for me and this year is no different. Both Summer and Fall last year were packed so it's nice to only have a few shows to watch this season. It's letting met get through my backlog of manga and novels.

Just finished the 6th novel in the Seikai no Senki series & now I'm left with that feeling that this story will never be completed by the author. Vol. 6 was the start of "Part 2" of the epic but was released in 2018. I'm afraid poor health & age is gonna take the author before this series concludes.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.
