Start finding flies and mosquitoes in my yard, which I'm sure is caused by those wild cats pooping everywhere.

Bought Deltamethrin (from Bayer, 25g/L) and Cypermethrin (from BASF, 100g/L).

Bayer said it should be used indoor, but it looks like the chemical itself is stable enough under sunlight. BASF said you can use it anywhere you want.

Besides, I also looked up and got a conclusion that both chemicals are not danger or harm to birds. For cats, they are toxic, so I'll kick out the cats before I use them and hope they don't come back and lick the floor.

But consider I'm not in major of chemical stuff and didn't go that deep into the details (just read what Google offers to me). So just want to ask if I'm right. Although I don't like those wild cats invading my yard, still don't want to poison them. Also the bird, I want to be safe to them.

Huge respect to the developer of AppOps and Shizuku. I need unattended access on my old android which is repurposed as a motion detection camera to monitor birds. And android is not happy with that. From Android 10 the system need my confirmation everytime, unskippable.

Then someone say AppOps can do that, and don't need root. WOW

Just remembered I have a old phone that can be turned into a security cam. So I use it to see if any bird come and eat the food.

Then I saw this:

What do you do when you have a stiff neck? In China we use this: (see the picture)

I never tried that before. Maybe I should give it try?

Well, I'm impressed by the channel mentioning real world society problems when casually explaining Chinese memes.

I'm kinda getting used to this kind of shit thing in China, like overtime working issue, bad working conditions for labor. It happens all day so that's hard to not get used to it. But I think/know I shouldn't. Happening all day doesn't mean it's a normal thing. I always appreciate when someone points out the issue and let more people know about it.

Great. Now YouTube thinks I need some explanation about Chinese memes.

Three monitors, three different colors...

I was going to wait until I rent a department, but I can't bear the life with only one monitor.

And FYI, the kuggis box from ikea serves very well as a monitor stand, and so does the hpe 6250 tape drive.

Spent some time (I lost track of it) outside (on the roof), before sunset. As the short Spring is coming, I heard a lot of bird sounds. So I pull out my new binoculars. And I'm excited to share my photos.

Although it's a commonly spotted dove (Spilopelia chinensis), it is my first time seeing a bird so close. That bird fly to a tree near me, and just sit there looking at me. (And thanks to those wild cats they didn't show up and destroy this exciting moment)

Photos are taken on a Samsung S23 Plus, 3x telescope with a 8x42 ED binoculars.

Also I think I need a better way to fix my phone to the binoculars. The seller convinced me to buy a 10USD "high quality" stand, but turns out it's worse than my old 5 USD one, which I sold along with my old binoculars :(

Spent sometime outside, and I can tell those ED lenses are a really big improvement. Although I don't have a direct comparison since I sold my old binoculars before I got this new one.

The camera didn't capture it well since I have to hold the binoculars in one hand and my phone in the other, and I'm shaking like hell, and I need to take the picture fast enough before the birds decide to leave. So... bear with what I have.

Anyway, really recommend upgrading to ED lenses if you're using normal glass lenses

Just moved back to my old house.

Found the cats again invading my tent.

Now I need to eliminate the man who only feeds those wild cats but doesn't want to take any other responsibilities.

I updated/extended this data pack for more recipes!

Takes me a whole Saturday to design.

Don't want to be too complex, but somehow need some kind of science. And must be abld to automate the manufacture.
