    Have been using that mouse for almost a decade and this literally never has been an issue.

    If you really somehow manage to drain the battery to zero you can just plug it in for 5 minutes and it will work for the rest of the day. Fully charged it lasts for months.

    Complaining about the design it is a purley manufactured issue by people that never used one.




  • Something not defined as a chicken would have to lay an egg that hatched something defined as a chicken at some point. Otherwise we couldn’t have chickens.

    Yep. But at least with our current definition of what a “species” (roughly a group of organism that can interbreed and have fertile offspring), that’s not possible.

    If some not-chicken would lay an egg that hatches a chicken, that chicken would have nothing to breed with. It would basically be a genetic defect that makes it infertile.

    but we can say that at some point some proto-chicken ancestor laid an egg that was different enough genetically that it counts as a chicken

    This is not correct. At no point can the offspring in a single generation be differnet enough to be called a different species.

    What we call “species” are just current snapshots of time. Species only make sense in a narrow timeframe. In reality things change very slowley over a large amount of time and there a no clear transition points.

    The concept of “eggs” is way, way older then chickens. Fish lay eggs. So in this case, it’s definitly the egg that came first.

    You can dig deeper, but eventually you end up on the what is a “chicken egg” and a “chicken” … which means you have to deal with taxonomy. And well, it’s just made up… so that doesn’t really lead anywhere.

    So I say it’s the egg. final answer.
