Any question answered...

Other organisations disagree

Again, feral:
"Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality. "

Also
"Anthropogenic threats, such as collisions with man-made structures, vehicles, poisoning and predation by domestic pets, combine to kill billions"
Um, habitat destruction anybody? The territorial range of house cats seems like it's going to be largely confined to a zone already rendered pretty much uninhabitable for native fauna by suburban development.

Sometimes there’s a robin that visits our garden.

We have an indoor-only cat. We take him for walks and when we've lived in places with gardens as we do at the moment we sit with him outside in the sun from time to time but he doesn't go out on his own and 95% of his time he's sat happily asleep, playing with us or belting along hallways. I hate him.

I hate him

sounds like a living hell

Uh oh. Maybe we’ll get a cat then.

I’ll set up some feeders to entice rare song birds into our kitchen so he has some playmates.

Yes ....

Is it for sale somewhere?

What are the absolute smallest flattest spirit/bubble levels available?

I want to stick one to the camera that has no accessory shoe, and don’t want an easily knocked lump protruding.

They need a certain amount of height to give space to the bubble.
Silverprint used to do a single bubble one that was quite flat and self-adhesive, looking online I see this one https://shop.silverprint.co.uk/Kaiser-Spirit-Level-6386/product/4411/K6386/ but I thought it was a cheaper version before.

Yea guessed as much, but had a really hazy memory of nearly-useless super flat ones. Maybe it was imagined.

The Kaiser looks like a fancy-mounted HK one. Maybe I’ll just grab another HK one with the rubber shoe mount and some double sided tape. I think I saw some advertised as 6mm heiggt or something.

Is that sort of small cheap bullseye level a material improvement over the standard Eyeball, Mk.1?

You mean, eyeball mk1 that is nearly 6ft above ground, whilst camera is often held below 4ft and shot with bright sunlight glaring off the screen?

It’s not for when holding the camera like a tourist, it’s for when out and about and shooting wide and fast. Shooting from the hip is exponentially improved with a spirit level, especially with wide lenses.

That Kaiser one I linked to is 10.5mm according to the internet. I'm sure I had a cheaper one that was more like 6mm. But as you say, not exactly accurate.

It’s not for critical architecture, mostly to aid hip-level shooting so doesn’t need the accuracy of a surveyor’s tool.

I am having the issue described here with my phone on my home wifi network.

Can anyone translate the solution into a simple step-by-step guide even an idiot could follow?

Anyone know if the Shimano 105 5800 chainset is compatible with 10spd (tiagra) ?

Wiggle specifications say it is, but other places just list as 11 spd.

Unless you have a need for fixed IP addresses just set all devices to DHCP and keep living your best life.

Look for line levels. We used to use them when drawing cross sections in archaeological features. Hang of a taut string to make sure the string is level to give you something to measure from. They're usually pretty compact.

Or even a post level, if you want multiple axes

Thanks. All probably too bulky, but all look very accurate.

Just fitted some new Gilles Berthoud guards and need a slightly longer one of these doodahs to get the front guard sitting closer to the wheel.

What are they called?

Really? In fairly central London you can see all sorts of songbirds, foxes, hedgehogs, frogs, snakes, bats etc. What native fauna that a cat could prey on is excluded from that area? Deer? Wild boar?

You almost certainly can. It’s fairly common (for those into bikes) to mix and match chainsets from one groupset or brand with others - look at the popularity of crank-based powermeters for example. The front derailleur is pretty primitive after all.

In fairly central London you can see all sorts of...native fauna

In fairly central London, there are a metric fuck ton of domestic cats. If you're seeing all that fauna, it's obviously doing fine in spite of the alleged feline threat. I don't hold a particular brief for either felis catus or passer domesticus (all but gone from his Cockney home), but if you want to blame the former for the demise of the latter, you should offer some evidence. The evidence that domestic cats are a population level threat to UK mainland wild fauna seems to me to be weak to non-existent.

Some of the native species of voles & shrews?
The slow worm where is still thrives is often predated by domestic cats.
Some of our larger native beetles and crickets/grasshoppers, were they to be present in greater densities would also be be hunted/killed.

Cheers for the reply.

Really wasn't sure. I went from 8spd to fixed. Then retro build, so back to 8spd. Now this. I've basically missed out the whole 10spd-11spd part of bicycling evolution.
