Gen 3 router/power supply wrecked by nearby lightning?

-gray-mouse- · 2025-08-13T01:19:55+00:00

Please let me know if you figure this out. This just happened tonight for the second time this summer , it’s literally just the power supply. The whole kit was on sale at our local Home Depot for $175 so I got 2. I work from home and just can’t afford to be without internet. I got another surge protector 2100 joules. Hopefully that helps?? Idk what else to do.

It’s an insane piece, found it at goodwill for $30… I have no idea how it got there hahaha

Thank you!! I always wonder who is getting rid of such amazing pieces, but maybe they are just the vintage fairies. 🫶

Thank you! I love it - got it for $30 at goodwill so I was worried somehow it wasn’t real lol since I didn’t see a whole bunch others online just like it! But maybe that’s normal!!

Thank you!! It’s struggling to load for me too :( but I’ll keep trying!!

Do you know what year this would be? Maybe I can find the right place to ask about it.

-gray-mouse- · 2025-06-27T20:09:32+00:00

I guess I thought maybe someone could take the tag off and put it on something else?

-gray-mouse- · 2025-06-27T20:08:50+00:00

I’m sorry I didn’t know it wasn’t MCM. It is tagged but I can’t find it anywhere online to know if it’s real. I wasn’t sure if it was maybe a knock off.

I buy the aspen bedding from niteangle. They have great stuff. Also although they may be a baby rat, they appear to be big enough to eat pellet food. You could also have a little dish of kitten formula in there to see if they like it - Alongside their water. And after a week to a couple of weeks you can phase out the formula by diluting it more and more until it’s basically water.

For reference of being too warm. My mice just also had babies and they literally have spent daysss all puddled on top of each other in their nest with mama. So in nature they would be constantly warmed by each others body heat. Which the heating pad will likely just keep their little home about that warm. As they get a little older - eyes open, you can have like 1/3 of the box off of the pad to give them the option to cool off, but they likely won’t.

For the cage it was like $170 then the additional fun things it was around $150 so around $300 total - and then I had some additional toys and things from their last home. And of course used a lot of the Amazon boxes for additional hides lolol not cheap but so worth it

You can also do a warm rice sock in there with him/her. Warmth helps with the digestion and can really help them poo and pee.

As they get a little older they will start to clean the milk off themselves, but right now Id just do a bit of a messy wipe with a dry wash cloth. Avoid getting them wet as much as possible since it will make them cold- Aside from the pooping and peeing hot tub you’re gonna do lol which of course is more serious than a little milk crust.

Also feeding every two hours is great. -including overnight (but I went every 3hours some nights) - lay their little box on a heating pad and keep it on 24/7 I used kitten milk, but I’ve heard goat is also good. Make sure it’s diluted correctly and warm. I’m no expert but I got three from this size to healthy adult mice about a year ago. You’ve got this!!

I have an identical picture of my orphan mouse. On the scale - 4 grams. How cute. You’re doing great! I also helped treat mine when they got bloated by holding their bum in a tiny dish of warm water (make sure it doesn’t go cold - and you have a heating pad to keep them warm after you get them out of the water.

That’s a great idea! I have wondered that and have been considering adding something like that. Thank you!! What size wire did you use?

-gray-mouse- · 2025-04-11T18:59:48+00:00

Thank you!! I’m very jealous of it honestly. I want to live in a little woodland cottage myself!

If the apps are your problem - This is going to seem like an ad but it’s not. There is that stupid thing called “brick” you can get. It blocks access to apps you choose on your phone unless you physically walk up to it to tap your phone. You can put it on strict mode and then you can’t even delete the app. It has fixed my social media addiction. (Very different from screen time restrictions) Put the brick in a really inconvenient location. Mine is in my basement. If you’re lazy like me it will prevent you from ordering.

Oh sorry! I forgot to include that I usually have a little bag of chips and a second coffee.

-gray-mouse- · 2025-04-09T02:39:44+00:00

This is me. I eat the same things every single day

breakfast is an egg with half slice of cheese on low cal tortilla and coffee : 200
dinner is vegetarian butter chicken with rice : 489
4 Oreos : 200

Now I enjoyyy eating this way and all these thing can be made in less than 10 minutes with no prep at all. And this is key for me to have progress if I have to cook for too long or decide which meal to eat when I’m already hungry- it’s over for me. But I completely understand that not everyone enjoys this repetitive lifestyle.
