Be sure to check on the forums regarding replacing the electrolytic caps before they leak. That way your chicken will be good for many more years.

I was just reading the XDevs blog about the issue as well. thanks mate.

Perfect. Great resource.

A Logitech MX Anywhere S2 mouse for its high speed (switchable from indented and friction-less) wheel. One of the features I miss from my old G9 which is no longer made and spare parts are nowhere to be found.

I used to have this freewheel feature mechanically on my M705, and now automatically on my MX Master.
Fantastic mouse, except the battery life and the thumb wheel. Life is short, and the thumb wheel doesn't work in 90% of applications.

Have you installed the Logitech drivers for it ?
I use a Trackman corded mouse and if you want its full functionality you need install the correct drivers.
Eg, Scroll wheel as a button = Alt + Left = Back. (left arrow) Makes browsing and general Windows usage much much faster.

[Jeroen3]

Yes. I have Logitech Options. The scroll bar in applications does move, but the contents do not update.
Doesn't work in Notepad++, Eagle, Codesys or Explorer. Does work in Chrome. Guess it's a Windows thing.
I don't mind. I just got my UNI-T UT210E  .

I bought two fat Australorp hens (a black and a blue) to add to my flock of fowl. The white one is a fugitive which I found in my backyard yesterday, dehydrated, sporting a broken toe and trying to break in to my chicken coop for a drink and feed. Dunno where she came from. A far as I can figure she is some kind of bantam Leghorn.

Winner winner chicken din.... Maybe not, that sounds a bit cruel.

The 2017 Star Plan Millenium Falcon by Lepin China ( A lego knockoff )
Cost me £150 from China, ( The Lego one is selling for £650 ) Actually I got it a little while ago but....
I added the feet for reference.
You can see the Lego one here https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Millennium-Falcon-75192

Ebay score!  Both in great condition (needed a little elbow grease), perfect working order.  $70 for both.

That is huge, hope you have somewhere to keep it safe once done.

I love those little supplies!  Great catch!  I'm still on the lookout for a reasonably priced example of the 12V one.

The white egg is hers?  Chickens usually lay eggs of their color, right?  I've never had chickens, just beagles.   Why would eggs of two different birds get so close?  Aren't they usually possessive of their own eggs?

Last week but not been delivered yet: one of these Adonstar 302's from BangGood https://www.banggood.com/Andonstar-ADSM302-Long-Object-Distance-Digital-USB-Microscope-For-Mobile-Phone-Repair-Soldering-Tool-p-1232954.html?cur_warehouse=CN

Unfortunately my workshop PC monitor doesn't have HDMI input so it will have to use USB for display (which reduces the real-time display resolution). It does have the little 5" built-in screen but I can't see me getting on with that for long - not with my eyesight

If that was the case, surely the other eggs would be black?

That reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw:

I love animals!
They're delicious.

Almost as bad as:

A good mate all his life NEVER ate pumpkin or anything with pumpkin in it....unless it had first been processed by a pig.

Not so much to do with the color of the plumage.  You can tell the color of the eggs the chicken will lay by the color of the earlobes.  My wife likes the colored eggs so we have Easter Eggers, Ameraucanas, Marans and others.  I like the crazy hair so we also have Silver Laced Polish (named Beaker after the Muppets Show), Silkie Bantam, Gold Laced Wyandotte, Plymouth Rock and a  Frizzle (named Fajita).

Out of 17 birds, we only have two nesting boxes, they all tend to lay in the same box.  Sometimes a girl will get broody and want to lay on the eggs, then we have to put her in chicken jail for a few days to break her.

Oh, my! 

[julianhigginson]

just went and picked up 2 speaker soundbars for my monitors! (one soundbar for home and another for office)
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DELL-AX-510-SPEAKER-BAR-BRAND-NEW/182170292023
I'm pretty happy with the sound, considering how small and tucked away under the monitor it is. Definitely an improvement over my laptop speakers with the laptop lid folded down.. :-)

Also, just ordered a LoRaWAN setup from alibaba, as detailed in my lorawan gateway thread.
