Taxonomy

The black-crested tit-tyrant's genus, Anairetes, is believed to be most closely related to the genera Mecocerculus and Serpophaga; however, there is no definitive evidence supporting this claim.[3] Members of the genus Anairetes are known commonly as tit-tyrants because their active foraging behavior and crests are reminiscent of the true tits in the family Paridae.[4]

gollark: You need ASICs to get a noticeable amount of Bitcoin, and it probably isn't very free because you have in fact spent money on the components of this.
gollark: Instead of heating it with resistors, you should heat it with outdated and extremely power-hungry rack servers.
gollark: It would be far more "based" to heat your water with radioisotopes.
