Pascal 👍 Thanks for the correction. With extreme regret, I will abandon my latest project in my shed.

At least, we can learn from this video's comments that the "only" intelligent specie we know doesn't like to be called insignificant. 😄 5 hours ago, martin-w said: It's a she. 😁 Definitely, and Birdguy is busted: he commented without looking at the video. 🤣 Edited June 29, 20214 yr by Pascal_LSGC
