Piggy-backing on this topic -- I'd love to have a set (up to a dozen) of cheap devices watching the ground around our house, that could detect primarily, or even exclusively, snakes. I'm in regional Australia, so snakes near abo

Totally agree - if your hands are on the keyboard, then use the keyboard shortcuts, no movement required. If your hand is on your mouse, though, this means you don't have to move that hand back. (I'm assuming left-hand mouse uses

Supposing that it was an isolated 'the skies go dark' scenario, then being self-sufficient in food is quite a complex question to try to answer, as most food chains require the skies to not be dark, at least not all the time. An i

Are you in the UK? (Wondering where pennys are still in common usage.) Here in Australia, for 100W / hour I'm going to be paying ~ A$250 / year to keep it powered. That's about 160 euro, or 200 usd.

Ahh, kids of today. I'm on traditional satellite for one week out of every two - at 600ms RTT. I'm either SSH'ing into hosts over that link, or worse, using a Citrix VDI to access (mostly) SSH terminals at the far end. It&#x

This seems alarmist. The citation you provided elsewhere (for Sardinia) was for some DDT spraying - which was obviously not targeted exclusively at mosquitoes, and explains why lots of other things died. Targeting the very small set of mo

I think it's only genuinely bleak if your starting position is that family is assumed, rightful, and ineluctable - and electing to not head down that path is purely a fiscal decision.

Thanks. FWIW Sweden is famous, I presume worldwide, but certainly here in Australia, for its novel response to COVID-19. I'm sure there's a wealth of confounding social and political factors everywhere - though some nation states

Cats are not ideal - they destroy native wildlife, and carry disease. Preferable (natives) would be snakes and raptors. But the problem in any of those cases are the rate of population change. As per TFA, mice are fertile at 6 weeks old.
