Someone has made a 3D-printable bird feeder designed to look like a Flock camera: https://www.printables.com/model/1804910-flock-camera-with-chamber-squirrel-and-bird-feeder Because birds are clever when it comes to learning what to peck at to maybe get some food.

I&#39;ve heard a lot about bullshit BMI requirements for gender affirming surgeries, but today I ran into a thread where someone linked to this list of surgeons by BMI cutoff (if any): https://www.transhealthcare.org/resources/rethinking-bmi-requirements-for-gender-affirming-surgery/#surgeon-bmi-tracker I haven&#39;t used this list myself, so I don&#39;t know how often it&#39;s updated, and it does look pretty US-based (though not exclusively).

Someone I know, an obligate Mac user without much money, has an ancient and dying laptop. They&#39;d been thinking maybe a refurbished 13&quot; M2 MacBook Pro or Air as a replacement, given the M-series&#39; reputation for long lifetimes, but are now tempted by this &quot;Neo&quot;. What should I advise here? One might hope that a newer machine would last longer, but is the &quot;Neo&quot; less built-to-last or otherwise bad? And there&#39;s the question of locki...
