Standard SD cards and MicroSD cards can be painful to erase and partition

I tried to erase all data from my MicroSD cards not in my cellphones.

The idea was to copy some films from my PC and watch them by smart TV.

It was painful to erase them.

May be because I am using only Linux.

With Windows it may be a different story, I believe.

They can.handle only FAT partitions.

With 32 and 64 GB carfd,  Linux prefer them to be partitioned them with gpt but they won't Boot or Mount afterwards.

No problem with nonproprietary MicroSD cards.


Baba Tree Frog and Mama Tree Frog

The Coronavirus Pandemic Psychosis and declining mass scale human activity have  given lease of life and respite to the animal kingdom, especially to birds.

But an important reminder first, when Chinese come here in numbers, the frogs, toads, crickets, cockroaches, wiggly worms,snakes, snails,  bats, birds, squirrels, rats, fish, crabs and lizards will disappear in.a season.or two.

No need for chemical pesticides.

They are in fact, global pests already,

Now welcome guest today was a tiny Leech.

If given an.opportunity I breed them in millions as.a business adventure and gift them to China who is.leeching us unhindered having tendered longterm term loan.

I have good reason leeches produce something similar to heparin and they can harvest this chemical as a treatment for vascular thrombosis in vaccinated patients with a higj.price tag to.cover their esoteric laboratory investigations.

Little twitter and the honey bird have lost their fear and come very close to human (our) contact at all.

In fact, I noticed a little nest on the tallest Bavaria Nuga tree made from a single leaf twisted round and padded with wool like stuff (probably from dogs hair).

The brood has gone away and I remember one mummy bird was keeping watch but did bother to investigate.

The twitter is very secretive and avoid contact at all costs.

It took a long time for to identify the bird making the typical.twitter sound.

The paddy birds are long gone and all the available  paddy land is filled up by the developers.

In this scenario, the common frog has lost its habitat.

But once a year a tree frog comes to lay eggs.

This time round I believe two of them have come.

I missed the first one but baby tree frog was in my toilet to notify that event.

How it reached the toilet was only a guess work probably from the high window.

I caught it after trapping it for a little while and put it into the outdoor fish tank.

Then today big mama tree frog was considering entering my bed room and I accidentally touched her while going down the steps holding onto the railing.

Mind you I miss my steps, if I do not hold onto the railing.

I pass it down to low blood sugar (continuing on one square meal and a little snack when hungry) but in reality the old age is catching up with me.

It took few minutes to figure it out how to catch it with one leap of more than 4 feet long and I cannot simply match it in.old age.

Mind you, I was very good catching grogs for dissections, A Level days but after the last catch I decided I would  never catch and put any under gas (forget the chemical starting with S).

I finally trapped it against the wall with a little basin but there was nothing to cover the top.

Finally I slid the rubbish tray underneath.

This in the dead of the night and without a torch I could not go out to land her on the fish tank.

This is of course not a guy/girl to land on the ground or water but in the darkness leapt into a tree branch and I lost sight of her.
Mind you she is a regular visitor probably bit lazy and wanted my help to catch up with the last 10 steps (easily 3 jumps in her capacity).

With belly full of eggs, she was tired and was asking for some human help.

The lesson is not to.help these guys of nature.

They remember at least the last encounter with you.

Fortunately I never see lot of tiny frogs.

I do not know why but there is a predator.

Most likely common Katusss or lizard  and not the skunk  or chameleon.

They have come and gone already.
