Tax, a new waterer that I love! Ordered from Premier1. Took the girls ten minutes to test it, then another five minutes to realize that they don’t all have to drink from one outlet.

I put their old waterer underneath to lure them over.

@BDutch it’s made by OLBA Holland. Are you familiar with them? It’s called AviAqua.

Hmmm I like this waterer. I may get one of those.

Tax: Went to buy new boots and got a free chicken treat, cause my rooster became one year old earlier this month.View attachment 4129571View attachment 4129572

Happy birthday to your handsome rooster!

I watch so little UTube I can't say if I get adds or not and definitely couldn't tell anyone what they were trying to sell.

I watch Ytube quite often for some music at the end off the day. Lots of good video’s if you search for favorite artists or know how to filter.
I see 1or 2 ads between 2 songs and if a song goes on for more than 5 minutes Youtube ads break in. Some can be skipped. Not all. M&m’s, bitcoin, whatever is paying YTube for advertising.

This week is the Week of Biodiversity! I was in a visitors centre in a natural park nearby. It has lots of nice things to help nature, like bee hotels. I bought a little nestbox for songbirds.

I could work with that, except I promised myself that I would never live in Cali..lol The place in Seligman, the high temps only get into the low to mid '90s on average, in the summer and and get's down to 23 in in the winter, so about like here, without the humidity.. LOL

Good news today in The Netherlands!

People aged sixty or older will soon be able to get vaccinated against shingles for free. The government wants to include the vaccine in the National Vaccination Programme, insiders confirm to the ANP news agency.

Wanted to add tax. No?
The second time worked. Ini mini and Janice both early roosters.

Our internet experience can be curated to deliver to us exactly what we want; we just need to spend the time (and it's only a little bit of time, really) telling it when we want. Just my thoughts on it.

I mostly agree with this. People do want differing things from the internet and if one is prepared to respond to the "good choice", bad choice click boxes on the sites that have them eventually the algorithm will present one with a larger range of that product type than any shop. After all, it's about them wanting to sell you products and they won't be very succussful showing you nails if one was looking for brackets.

The concerns regarding privacy. I don't mind one shop telling another if you've got a similar whiskey he might buy it. Doesn't really matter if it's by word of mouth or through digital data transfer.

However, if one does object to data collection (people can hardly claim they didn't know the sites they use do it) and you don't want to be tracked then trying to achieve whatever one considers a reasonable level of anonymity is very time consuming.

As a Californian California is very nice.

BYC collects lots of data.
