  suggestions for a bird lover

  by sowhatnow in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i want to know id anyone has an inexpensive easy way for me to install some sort of sound system so i can hear the outside birds in my house in winter.

  i have to doors closed its like 30 degrees outside, i stepped out to toss some bread crumbs and heard so many birds outside, and i would love to hear those birds in my kitchen while i eat.

  would a cheap baby monitor work ?

  In theory a baby monitor would work but you need to be aware of a couple of things:

  • A baby monitor would be designed to work indoors at room temperature. Usually these devices have an operating range indicated on them. Put it outside in the cold (I assume 30 degrees is in Fahrenheit?) since you mentioned cold, then you have potential issues with condensation and temperature operating range. Check the operating range and it will almost certainly be around room temperature only and putting it outside in the cold will most likely be below the stated minimum range.
  • If you are running it from the mains then you have additional problems with damp/condensation on the wire which could be dangerous. If it's battery powered this is not an issue, but you will then have an issue with battery life as the cold saps the life out of batteries.

  I presume you won't have it outside when it's raining, especially if you're running off the mains!!

  Since you mentioned inexpensive, are you aware you can stream loads of birdsong on YouTube? It would not be your actual birds you're hearing but depending on your needs it may do the trick.

  I hope this gives you a few pointers :)

  first of all immigration is a privilege not a right, the same as obtaining a driving license it's.

  a privilege not a right.

  my suggestion all muslims that seeking permanent resident or a visa.

  How about a CAPCHA test for ANY new post?

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  maybe it would be possible to turn the capcha test off for a user after they have "survived" ten posts without being thrown into gehenna?.

  there must be some days it seems like a thankless pain-in-the-ass, but you are rendering a truly life-saving service.. love ya, dude, (and dude-harad and all the little dudettes) in an appropriate and totally manly way!.

  - your idiot fellow traveller..

  Simon, would not "occasional bursts of chattiness" be on the same thread? As opposed to starting multiple threads?

  I don't know if the system can distinguish between these types of posts, but it's a thought I've had, so I'll chip it into the mix. :)

  A 'Paradise' for mice turned out not to be so

  by Petraglyph in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in this experiment, mice were given a perfect environment in which to live.

  for the mice you would think this was 'paradise'.

  but due to their nature it did not take long for this to become a horrible place to live.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z760xny4vm.

  It leads me to contemplate the JW dream of living forever in a 'Paradise Earth' and wonder what this would have actually been like in reality.

  For me, I could see 'not caring' coming to the fore. Life becomes valueless as it is taken for granted. For example, if everything is provided, why bother?

  Time becomes meaningless as you have all the time in the world to do things. If you're going to live forever, why bother? You've got plenty of time.

  And so does anything ever get done? Does anything actually happen? Or will it all go 'stagnant'?

  The joke...

  'If your husband says he's going to get it done, he'll get it done. There's no need to nag him about it every 6 months'

  ...takes on a whole new meaning.

  Where is the impetus towards life? If all the meaning, all the drivers, all the constraints are removed, what are you left with?

  Just some musings about life and stuff, on this still December afternoon...

  Excellent work. That must have taken some time.

  I've just watched:
  

  'Angus calls O'Brien out on his false statement' again. That was a low moment for the organisation.

  Fully concur with steve2's suggestion above.
