russian authorities have committed a wide range of violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in various regions of Ukraine, many of which amount to war crimes, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said in a new report Thursday.

Gotta run to a meeting - not ghosting you, just won't be in front of my computer.
Definitely, but it's not always up to me. She mimics the phone ringing, microwave, etc, because she hears it. And when she first got here, what she repeated to herself was "Scooter! No! Ow! You little asshole!" I noticed she was fascinated by whispering, so that's what I did, and I almost never hear that original phrase anymore, but she whispers to herself a lot.
This changed the moment the first public account of the massacre appeared. Thompson broke cover.
He refused to keep quiet or minimise the crimes committed, despite pressure from press, the military and a hostile Congress determined to cast him as a traitor.
He stood up. He testified at the public enquiry. He was vilified by many. /14
She came from a parrot rescue, so I don't know her age - she's young, so probably not more than 20. And yes, she talks, and sings, and whistles, and sounds like the microwave and the toaster oven. My favorite is when she whispers
"I love the Scootie, such a sweet Scootie" That one she learned from me and hubs. I'm currently teaching her to whistle Jeepers Creepers.
My parrot, Scooter The Gray, loves crows. When I take her outside she watches for them, calls to them, and nothing thrills her more than having one call back.
I think birds are fascinating, and I love watching them, even when they're loud (like Scooter)
This model is probably the great grandchild of the one we bought in 2008, when hubs decided to go back to college and become an RN. It worked through his college, and it's still working now, just sitting there, doing what it's supposed to, without a hiccup or complaint.
The world would be a better place if every buying guide was as brutally honest as this one from @nilay_patel.
(PS: I own this same Brother model whatever printer and can confirm it just works, year in and year out.)

Someone pointed out that 3 or more crows is called a murder of crows. Since I only had 2, it was just attempted murder.
@ScottSoCal
I love/hate this story.
I like the idea of getting of crows become my friends by leaving them nuts. But I think of the downsides. They scream at you!
Or, let's say you get picked up for questioning by the cops.
The cop asks you, "You're hanging out with all these crows..."
