Magnum on steroids!

Whoops! Not sure where or how I got into another posting area. Sorry! I just now noticed I was out of my other posting area and into this one....

Last time I saw bobcat was some 45 years ago.
Now I keep cats.

Don't hit the cat, it's just being a cat.

There's no point in punishing cats because they don't understand why you're being nasty to them.

Just accept what they are.

[ivconic]

Ha, ha, ha! I never actually do that.
They are quite restless, so I constantly threaten them with a thin stick and a small hand sprinkler with water.
But they got used to empty threats and nothing scares them anymore.
I have 11 cats and they all live with me in the house. I treat them like children.
I adopted the first five from the street. Some inhumans bring kittens to the forest and leave them there in the middle of the road!!!
They are small, not yet separated from their mother.
They forcibly pick them up and heartlessly throw them on the road, far from the inhabited place! What kind of people are they?
Without any plans, I started finding and adopting kittens.
First one "boy", a few months later two "girls", 20 days after another "boy and girl", brother and sister.
And this summer, in the month of May, one cat gave birth to 6, 5 brothers and 1 sister.
The girls are all sterilized and the oldest boy. I didn't have money for the other boys to be sterilized this fall.
They live in the house, they sleep in the house, I often wake up covered with cats, they sleep over me.
They are exceptionally clean and tidy.
But they are like little children, during the day they have a few periods of "madness" when they blow up the house!
20 days ago I cut a small rectangular hole in the wall towards the terrace, so that the "gang" would have its own "door".
I'm losing almost no heat in the room, but the gang is now free to circulate in and out at will.
Life with cats ennobles people. Now I can't imagine my life without them.
The video shows a brother and sister (colorful) playing, something like a regular daily fight.
The sister is the smallest of the 6, but she is usually the one who starts all the fights in the house!
They are extremely intelligent, they read me like an easy book! I can't scare them anymore no matter what I do.
Last night they knocked over my TV, which fell from a height straight onto the floor!
I raised electronics, boxes with parts and all sensitive things to a height. There is hardly 10% of space in the room that is inaccessible to them.
This summer, while walking in the city, I saw a woman kicking a cat from the back for no reason, without any need!??
In 1/10 of a second, I fell into a severe affective state, ran up to that woman and followed her for the next 100 meters, "showering" her with the heaviest curses and insults.
That she was male and not female; I would knock her out in the middle of the street, regardless of the consequences.
Only now, in the last 2 years of living with cats, have I begun to understand how some people (I'm afraid the majority) are at a very low level of consciousness, without an iota of compassion.
For the last 2 years, I have definitely been a very sad and disappointed person. I lost my last hope in humanity.
Because I don't see humanity in the streets. I see only suffering, selfishness, greed, callousness.
If someone is ready to separate a very small kitten from its mother while she is still nursing it... if someone is ready to kick a cat on the street for no reason when its back is turned and does not see what is in store for it... if the vast majority of people on the streets passes little kittens crying from hunger and at the same time they are completely ignored...
Unfortunately, I am a poor man, I don't have enough money even for my survival. Otherwise I would walk the streets and pick up all those little abandoned animals who are freezing and suffering from hunger and neglect.
I would bring them all home. I would make one big space as an "asylum". But unfortunately... I don't have money, I'm not able to do it.
If each of us picked up at least one kitten or a small dog from the street... the suffering on the planet would be drastically reduced.
Because whoever is not ready to help a little kitty... is even less ready to help a man in need.
Ok, you know, this all seems like an old washed-up story. I myself would look back on this post like that 2-3 years ago.
But once you get involved and get involved, once you start seeing things like this on the street and stop and think... once you adopt a little kitty and keep it at home; your whole life will change. You will start looking at everything with different eyes.
It's a common misconception to say "oh, it's just animals". Huge mistake! They are living souls, they have a soul, they have feelings and they have an unprecedentedly high level of intelligence.
Like a man in distress, lying on the street on the cold concrete, hungry and thirsty for days... such a being has suppressed intelligence because it is in dire straits.
So do animals. But once you bring it home, feed it, warm it, bathe it, show it attention and love, after a few days you start to clearly see a very high level of intelligence, you see clear thinking, decision-making and the understanding of everything that surrounds that animal.
I could write about this for days, no need. This does not fit the forum topic. For 2 years I have had a heavy sadness in my soul.
I'm trying to talk to people about this. People are superficial. They listen to me purely for the sake of "decency". But I see a slight suspicion in their eyes. I see they think I'm a fool.
I am convinced that until the majority of the planet starts thinking about this; the planet will not get better. After all... lately we see where our "intelligence" and our "human" understanding of the world has brought us and is leading us.

OK. I understand. But please don't hit cats.

Best wishes

(Maybe there should be a new thread about cats)

[ivconic]

Ha, ha, ha! I believe that Carl will be delighted with such a topic!
No, we won't talk too much about cats.
Except to repeat; no, of course I do not "hit" cats!
I was just "shaken" out of bed by the terrible chaos and "carnage" in the room!
The usual morning "game".
I take a sock and chase miscreants around the room with it and if I catch anyone; that one gets a sock on the head!
That's all!

I love cats myself, we used to farm, people from the town would bring cats out to the farm country, and abandon them. A Pity!!!!!!! We let them live on our farm. They caught a lot of mice and ate them...

My detector

[Toros]

My detector

You show a completed detector, but you don't say how it works. Share the results.

[Ruben2000]

My detector

Could you share the details of the coil and how you built it?
Also could you share the PCB you used and the schematic you used and the changes you made to make it work properly?

[lokaj81]

Hello Ruben
The coil is originally purchased. There are only minor changes, the oscillator is used according to the scheme in Tesoro Cibola at a frequency of 14kHz, at position U1 is TL074, at position D10 is used stabilizer 7805 as a reference for U11. I put a 1k Ohm resistor in series between the base of Q2. U10 consists instead of 4041 from two complementary transistors BD139/140. together with R89, I still have a 20k Ohm resistance trimmer included in the series to fine-tune the discrimination. The wiring basically works for the first time

A few hours ago I went out to clear the snow in front of the house... and had a close encounter of the third kind!
A black monster with glowing green eyes appeared in front of me!
I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat !!!
