DIY automatic outdoor bird feeder
Переглядів 2924 місяці тому
Here's a simple DIY project for an automatic, battery operated, outdoor wild bird feeder using a relatively inexpensive programmable kibble dispenser designed for cats and dogs that's readily-available online. These dispensers (there are many brands) aren't designed for outdoor use, so I've built a simple weatherproof enclosure to protect it from the elements.
Notorious: A recreated 15th Century Portuguese Caravel

Authentic recreations on this scale are almost invariably the work of whole teams of historians, maritime archaeolo...

    Human induced climate change is an ideology, not a fact. Based on belief in outlandish models, not on reality. There is no consensus amongst scientists and there are scientific theories supporting widely varying projections of future scenarios. No one can claim to be right so why are so many fixated on the single solution of net zero for an imaginary problem?

      Thanks! Paradoxically they're easiest to see in places where there's suitable habitat and lots of people and they become complacent about human presence. In Sydney's Botanic Gardens, the last time I was there, they were wandering into the kiosk looking for scraps. They're all easier to see during the breeding season when they're desperate to find food for their chicks and their inhibitions drop away.

É, no entanto, uma evolução do que já existia, provavelmente um navio de pesca do Algarve. A caravela redonda é que se poderá considerar a invenção dos Portugueses já que resultou dos conhecimentos recolhidos e das propostas de Bartolomeu Dias depois de regressar do Cabo da Boa Esperança, com objetivos de melhoramento das suas qualidades de navegação face aos ventos que encontrou.

Try political upheavals and wars of succession within the kingdom and the rest of the European continent instead. After the major European powers of the time France, Spain, the H.R.E. , had finished destroying each other. The power vacuum left behind, was what gave England the scant opportunity to take over. The Netherlands who had recently had gained their independence from Spain took the opportunity also, and piggyback on England's incursions and successes. All of this not happening, until way late into the 17th century.

      The size of the ship, very similar to a northern Cog was perfect for the type of coastal shipping it was built for. The idea of making a Transatlantic voyage in such a small vessel is what made it not only daring but also insane! Logically subsequent voyages were made in more suitable and larger ships. Like Carracks and Naõs, which were more suitable and purposely built for that type of enterprise. The Apollo missions on the other hand, were a situation of necessity. The laws of physics and current technology, even to this day prevents us from building anything bigger. Once we figure out how to break gravitational pull, we will be able to make the larger vessels required to travel across space.😊

Giving rise eventually to the larger Galleons and subsequently to the man-o-wars, which became the ships of the line and frigates. The culmination of sailships for commerce ended with the cutters, which lasted until the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th.
