My neighbors let their chickens out to act as organic pest killers in their yard. When she wants them back in the coop she just shakes the food bucket and they follow her right back into the coop to get fed.

I don't need them wandering. We live in a duplex that we own, but we rent the other half to a couple and we share the backyard. I don't know that they'd mind chickens pooping all over their back lawn, but I haven't asked, so I'd rather not let them just run loose.
Edit: Whoops, i swore! Fixed

Once the raccoon tastes chicken you won't need to worry much about what the chickens might want to taste.

While not dead (yet) I took great pleasure in getting out of their way. Gat a call from my last employer asking for some additional work/time. Told him I would put a LARGE dent in his budget, ahh peace and quiet, I love it.

And by doing that, they also got some old friends of mine out of involuntary retirement:
Quote: Additionally, some of the science instruments and components had their own embedded microprocessor-based control systems. The MATs (Multiple Access Transponder) components, MAT-1 and MAT-2, utilize Hughes Aircraft CDP1802CD microprocessors.[43] The Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WFPC) also utilized an RCA 1802 microprocessor (or possibly the older 1801 version).[44] The WFPC-1 was replaced by the WFPC-2 during Servicing Mission 1 in 1993, which was then replaced by the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) during Servicing Mission 4 in 2009.
These were the noble versions, by the way. White ceramic packages, gold plated pins, maybe even radiation hardened: (look)[^]

Not only the old farts...
Old products too.
Today with the "planed obsolescence" many products just suck and have almost no life cycle.
I am not that old and I already have had to say "things are not built as before" in many times.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Can't say I've read the article, but if NASA engineers can't work out Widget XYZ...then Widget XYZ was poorly documented. I can't imagine NASA not having enough red tape already. So how does this happen?
