i hope we've not done the same. we have a feeder in the go all year round but recently it got a bit manky with some sprouting seeds in the tray.
we cleaned it (sprayed with a hose) and refilled and the birds have nailed half of it since Sunday. mainly tits (blue, great, coal, maybe willow) plus robins and nuthatches.

Thanks by the way to @atz for the brake adapter, without which I'd have skimmed across to Calais like a smooth pebble

finally finished this bike, but something awful happened.
yesterday's race was high up on the lancs/yorks border and had a downhill start. we came barrelling out of the grid for 100m or so into a gentle right hander. i feathered the brakes to slow down, but nothing was happening. in fact, i was picking up speed. i leaned into the turn but to no avail and tore through the course tape. great start.
i slammed hard on the brakes to stop the bike and get myself back, but still there came no apparent signs of slowing down. i sailed off away from the course, past the sign-on tent and through the courtyard of the visitors' centre at a cool 22mph.
it was all i could do to deftly steer through the car park and seamlessly join the A59 towards colne, accelerating all the while while yanking as hard as i could on my sram500/TRP spyre combo.
as i type this, i've just hurtled past milton keynes. i've been on the move solidly since 2:45 yesterday afternoon. i expect the only way i can stop this bike will be to crash it into the english channel.
amey was right!

Jagwire makes reusable cable ends.
These fish things? https://jagwire.com/products/small-parts/cable-end-non-crimp
hmmm
i must say I've never really found the normal ends to be a problem, but i do dislike it when you get one that's all baggy and you have to mangle it to stay on the cable, usually when using a brake end on a gear cable.

"threat actor" and "bad actor" are pretty standard cybersecurity jargon
