The absolute nuts about this monitor is the USB-C with PD. I plug 1 USB-C into my laptop and it gives me 2560x1440, mouse, keyboard, webcam, speakers and power. Living in the future
That's definitely a cool and useful feature.

I’d be interested in your opinion. I suffer badly!
I may have just wasted about £30, but many many YouTubers seem to think that and then profess it's some kind of miracle lotion. Also got LactiGo on the way to compare.
Can I ask, how much did you pay for the powder coating? I'm looking to get some small items done (much smaller than those) and no websites can give me an accurate price.
I've done one ride, so very early days, but I was honestly surprised how fresh my legs felt, deep into the second half of the ride.

I paid £110.
Took the kids to meet our new family member "Poppy the Cryptopup".
She's an F2 Cockapoo - we'd originally looked at Ridgbacks, but my middle daughter turns out to be allergic.
We've always wanted a family pooch, but wanted our youngest to be big enough to understand about giving animals their space (read too many horror stories and it's almost always down to owner error/complacency).
Really excited to start click training and seeing how she settles in (we have three Persian/Exotic cats, so they'll be grumpier than usual for a week or so).

Did you buy it with Dogecoin?
We've got 2 Cockapoos (1 called Poppy but she black), they are an excellent family pet, very good with children. Our daughter was only 5 when we got our first Poo and no problems, she knows there our boundaries and that a dog isn't a toy.

Cant believe they are now £3k-£4k per puppy! No wonder so many people got into dog breeding during lockdown.
She is a cutie but personally i would never buy a dog not when there are so many dogs (and puppys) wanting good homes are rescue centres.
Like our latest edition, Rufus. 18 month old deerhound/saluki cross. Cost us a £50 donation to the charity and he came wormed, vaccinated and without knackers!!!!

I wonder how many dogs will need a fresh start after lockdown comes to an end.
So cute!

What a gorgeous dog, all the dogs featured in this post are fabulous. Makes me want one.
Personally, a rescue home pooch or Greyhound as I have done in the past. Last dog who I still miss to this day was a Doberman cross. My neighbour has a pedigree and its gorgeous.
Re: rescue pooches.
I'd love to give a home to as many rescue-floofs as possible - sadly, with our family dynamic (1 Autistic son, a daughter allergic to some breeds, myself in a wheelchair) we've had to be very selective about our first family pooch - she needed to be a) hypoallergenic, b) young enough to start assistance training and c) big enough that I can't roll over her and traumatise the kids. Which ruled out a lot of rescue pups.
Growing up, my family would rescue "aggressive breed" dogs (Dobermans, Rotties, Ridgbacks mainly) and rehabilitate them - up to 4 at a time. My folks have now moved out of the big house into a 2 bed cottage in their grounds and I don't have the space to help any big dawgs. Once we've moved somewhere with more land and our youngest a little bigger, I'd happily reconsider- provided we can keep Sophie's allergic reactions to a minimum.
We've been really selective about who we bought from - my Wife breeds Persian/Exotic cats as a hobby (Covid Inflation hasn't really affected the kitten pet price, as the breeding community and strict GCCF requirements tends to clamp down on backyard "Greeders").
Poppy is coming from another young family about 20 minutes away - this is her mum's second and final litter. The owners aren't selling the pups to just anyone (there's a huge demand, obviously) and certainly don't need the money (the Dad owns one of the biggest building contractors in the south), so we're buying from people we know, for the right reason - in fact, when we were vetted as potential buyers, my wife struck up a friendship with the sellers as she asks exactly the same questions - and they've agreed to buy a kitten from us, next litter.

Good to hear that. There was one local "breeder" to us whose bitch was on her second litter of 10 cockapoos in the last year at £3500 each so thats £70k revenue, and because demand was so high on the last litter she has taken deposits for a further 20 puppies

No, it's called greed.
No respective breeder farms their bitch like that. The amount of people I know who have just gone off to some random and passed over several grand without doing any background checks on th dogs or the breeder is shocking atm.
If anyone is considering a dog or cat then please consider a rescue animal. There is no need to put money into the pockets of breeders. Instead you could give a loving home to an animal in need and really make a difference to their life. Obviously some care is needed as the animal may have been mistreated. But at least consider it.
