    5700x v 5800x Same price which do you buy?

    Im considering one of these as an upgrade from a 2700x. I still use the raith prism that came with the 2700x. Will it be possible to re-use this on the 5700x or 5800x to keep costs down? The 2700x has a tdp of 105W so theoritically fine for the 5700x but 5800x might throttle unless run in...

    My Bluetit laid 10 eggs in total, they started hatching yesterday: 7 have hatched so far, not sure the others will hatch now though.

    My bluetits have chosen a different box this year and are much earlier than last year. I currently have two eggs!

    30xx Series Founders Edition

    My 3070FE has turned up, 21 hours after ordering, almost justified the high shipping costs.

    30xx Series Founders Edition

    Yay, managed to get a 3070 finally. Was an interesting experience, I went for a lunch run but delayed having a shower in case a drop happened. Got to 3pm, decided it wasn't so went to have shower. Que discord alert whilst I'm in the shower. Ran like a lunatic through the house without a seconds...

    Saved a life! freed a hedgie!

    I've got at least 5 visit my garden. I've got 3 nest houses and a feeding station, though they seem to hibernate anywhere but the nest houses. A male hedgehogs life definately revolves around the 3 f's, sometimes all at the same time! They take a while to fully come out of hibernation and its...

    For anyone missing their bluetit fix here's my 2 this evening. Dad has been brilliant and the weather has been warm enough at night for them to survive without being brooded.

    My two have survived another day, though one is definitely more dominant that the other. Regarding the Hedgehogs, yes the food can attract vermin, though it's only been wood mice in my case and they're no bother. I never leave food out for long and only when I know hedgehogs are around to eat...

    It is hard watching the chicks die but its all part of the Bluetits survival strategy. By breeding lots of chicks theres a better chance one will make it to adulthood. Last year was the only time all the chicks in one of my boxes made it. between 1-3 is the norm unless you live in an oak...

    My two are still alive, male has been feeding them all day and considering the female contributed nothing yesterday that's two days he's been the sole provider. Still another 9-10 days to go though. I've got some funny hedgehog videos I can share if anyone needs cheering up.

    I've got a thunderstorm forecast for Thursday but warm and dry for the rest of the month. The garden is currently inundated with Starlings. The fledglings have increased the local flock to over 50 birds and they are not quiet! I put out 3 fat balls in a holder for them at 8am this morning and...

    Yeah would be good. Shame Bluetits aren't like Long-tailed-**** that rope in aunts and uncles to raise the chicks. Single parent nests are not uncommon and the success is purely down to finding enough food. Rain is the great risk now as it washes caterpillars off the trees and makes it really...

    Update on my nest box, the 2 chicks are still alive and the male is doing a sterling job feeding them. The nighttime temperatures for the next few days don't look too bad so there's still a chance.

    Unfortunately the female died around 11 pm I removed her body as it was covering the chicks and would have prevented the male from feeding them. There's was no sign of physical injury so it must have been some sort of virus. You'd think there was enough of that going around as it is. Having...

    The male is still bringing food so there's a chance one or two might make it. The problem is temperature as the male will not brood them at night and they are too young to keep themselves warm. I generally never interfere and doubt I could raise them anyway.

    Bit of a disaster in my nest box. The female seems to have picked up some sort of illness. Throughout the day she has been getting progressively more erratic, pecking the box and tearing the nest apart. She's lost all interest in the chicks or her partner and now seems to have lost all mental...

    My nest is still going strong. The smaller chick that hatched later died but the other 3 are fine. Parents are finding some pretty big caterpillars now.

    Football and the Coronavirus

    Very simply cost. No League 2 team can afford to finish the season behind closed doors. Any other consideration is irrelevant at this level. The TV money higher up the league's this the only reason those clubs are in a position to even consider playing in empty stadiums.

    Four out of the seven hatched and seem to be doing ok. Its getting busy in the garden now, 2 blackbird and 1 robin nests under construction. Fledgling blackbirds and goldfinches about and a blackcap constantly singing in a holy tree. I did see a female blackcap a couple of weeks ago but the fact...
