Yes. Completely wild ..... but in an area popular for beach BBQs and swimming, so the Wallabies were well used to people visiting the area.
The nearest comparable thing we've seen here in the UK would be Dartmoor ponies!

My neighbour was a ginger allegedly (not the next door one, the

35. Now that kid him and his wife take on holiday is ginger. They
don't have kids. She's the daughter of one of his ex-employees. The father is "not present". Yeah ok.... The wife really is gullible.

Yes. Completely wild ..... but in an area popular for beach BBQs and
swimming, so the Wallabies were well used to people visiting the area.
I have three times swam up to a seal, once 40 miles down the road from
here in the sea - a wild one, once in a river 10 miles from here - also
wild, and once in England near where they release babies into the wild. Inquisitive and not scared of people when you don't have a boat and are

I was once helped by a Dolphin when I capsized a Bosun Dingy in

climb aboard again! Absolutely true.
Dolphins love humans as much as we love them. We are equally
intelligent and respect each other like our own kind.

And yes I was naked on all occasions. Maybe shorts scare seals?
I couldn't possibly comment!

Rover gets very bad press, but my first car was a Rover and very
sturdily built. Until it hit a tractor, which ended up worse off!
Maybe momentum matters, it was doing 5mph and I was doing 90 er....
60mph. Yes the sign said 60, I must have been doing 60.
However my neighbour's Rover 75 (top of the range) had the worst
automatic gearbox I'd ever seen. It was like a learner driver changing gear. You should not notice when an auto box changes gear. But then I
was used to a German car, they do things very well indeed. Pity they
didn't win the war!
The nearest comparable thing we've seen here in the UK would be
Dartmoor
ponies!

Every horse I've seen lets me pet and feed it. Mind you there are no
wild horses in the UK. Also no animal hates me. It's fun to play with >>> a rottweiler the owner cannot handle.
Take care.
I don't need to. Animals think I'm one of them. They might be right.

That wouldn't have have helped in my second case - the animal jumped
over a hedge to my left and landed right in front of me.
Same here, it was chasing females! But if it had heard the high pitch
noise perhaps it would have stopped in fright and still be alive?
I have bought one and I suggest everyone else does. It will be
interesting to see what happens when I drive past someone walking a dog....
My son tells me that some electric cars now have 'pretend engine noise'

Very easy to disconnect. I refuse to create noise pollution after

My car is too old to have them!
So is mine, but I can engage my full beam when one comes towards me with
his on. Some are actually brighter than full beam. And I've seen

How do you know the profession of the oncoming driver?
It is quite funny when a modern daylight lights car is driving at
night. Since the lights were already on at the front, they don't
remember to switch on the "real" lights at night, so they have no back
lights. Sometimes I flash, sometimes I flash the car lights, and
sometimes I threaten them by almost crashing into the back of them.
Be careful; one day you may succeed!
Funniest one was a pedestrian who walked in front of me without
looking. I revved the 3.5 litre V8 and they ran faster than I thought
possible.
Very naughty! ;-)

Very funny. I was referring to the speed and terrorizing of pedestrians.
My highest ever speed is 140mph.
Or 700 if you count planes.
55 on a boat.

A great song - with great Lyrics.
Lyrics
She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way, how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide
Down in the crowded bars out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there
And they called it paradise, I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert
Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu
Where the pretty people play hungry for power
To light their neon way and give them things to do
Some rich man came and raped the land, nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and, Jesus, people bought 'em
And they called it paradise, the place to be,
They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is Coming'
Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign
Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny and in the name of God
And you can see them there on Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there
They called it paradise, I don't know why
You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye

Just threaten to leave. Quote Greenflag price. Greenflag sux, but the
AA will still discount you to keep you. You have to do this every year though, they sneak it back up. They count on most people not bothering.
And car insurance is no longer allowed to do introductory first year
prices but they still fuck you about and will take money off if they
think you're leaving.

No, if you loaned me a car, that would be your car. If you rented me a

As for rent and hire, they mean precisely the same. You would say you

I suspect we didn't challenge last October - probably more concerned
with Covid infections etc.
We actually paid £126.99 - for their top-of-the-range package.
I've been with the RAC for over 50 years and have enjoyed excellent
service throughout.
Holy shit that's expensive, but then I don't get top of the range. Just basic fix it or take me to a garage. My neighbour does the same. We've both towed each other a quarter mile from home because we didn't have

Holy shit that's expensive, but then I don't get top of the range. Just
basic fix it or take me to a garage. My neighbour does the same. We've
both towed each other a quarter mile from home because we didn't have
home start.
I may have done such a thing when I was a youngster, but I can now
afford to pay for the convenience. What you do costs a lot in terms of
time, too.

Why not do what I do? All you need is to get out of the mess you're
in. Get your car and you taken to civilisation. You can rent your own
car and hotel room. Then your premium is far lower. I pay less than
half what you do.

Indeed. It's the slow ones you need to look out for. They drive slow because they find driving difficult.
Would you be alarmed if while giving you a lift I performed a J-turn?
It's the most efficient method to get travelling in the opposite
direction. The first time I did this I was a teenager and was giving my friend a lift to see his girlfriend. I don't know if it was on that occasion, but he got her pregnant then left the country!

I've done 39mph on my mountain bike, but this was using God's force,
gravity.
If something had been in the way, I would not have been able
to stop. The brakes were rubbish on that bike and still are. I've had
it for 26 years. Giant Box Two dual suspension aluminium frame.

1865: 4mph limit
1897: 14mph
1903: 20mph
1966: 70mph
Isn't it about time they increased it again?
I once would have agreed with you.
Why do you no longer agree?
Far too much traffic on the roads I've travelled in recent times.
Competent drivers ignore the limit anyway.
Indeed. It's the slow ones you need to look out for. They drive slow
because they find driving difficult.
Many of them are OLD too! ;-)
Would you be alarmed if while giving you a lift I performed a J-turn?
I would if you were going forwards!
It's the most efficient method to get travelling in the opposite
direction. The first time I did this I was a teenager and was giving my
friend a lift to see his girlfriend. I don't know if it was on that
occasion, but he got her pregnant then left the country!
Did you look after her and the baby yourself?
Seems a newspaper boy was prosecuted for claiming he couldn't go over
16mph on his bicycle!
Haha! :-D
I've done 39mph on my mountain bike, but this was using God's force,
gravity.
I know I've been travelling as fast as cars when going downhill on a bike! There were no GPS measuring devices in my cycling days!
If something had been in the way, I would not have been able
to stop. The brakes were rubbish on that bike and still are. I've had
it for 26 years. Giant Box Two dual suspension aluminium frame.
That warrants a photograph!

I tired to find you, are you called "Boater"?

It has a fuse. Those wonderful things before the namby pamby circuit
breakers that trip if a fly lands on something.
Knowing you, you might have replaced the fuse with a nail!
Funnily enough, I'm pro-fuse. I'm not bothered about getting a shock,
but I don't want something catching fire. It's amazing how many things aren't protected properly. For example did you know a twin UK socket is
not rated to 26 amps? Most (apart from MK) are rated to 20 amps. So if you max out both of them, things melt! I don't remember seeing a
warning on the front not to use both fully at the same time.
I've got one of those circuit breakers. It trips now and again when my
wife is doing the ironing.
The earth leakage type or the overload type?
The earth leakage ones
hate microwave ovens, which leak current to earth on purpose. I disconnected the earth to mine when I saw a parrot trying to chew the
flex. I removed the earth so the current couldn't go from the wire in
her beak through her heart to the earthed microwave chassis under her
feet [1]. But now when I run the microwave I get a tingle if I touch
it. So clearly something is meant to go to earth. At work, a microwave kept tripping an earth leakage breaker, but they'd economised and only
put in one for the whole corridor of 100 offices. That caused an
argument or two.
[1] Earthing things was a very very dangerous idea. Consider you touch
a live wire for some reason - damaged flex, whatever. Normally you'd
get a slight tingle or not even feel it. But now imagine your knee is touching an earthed washing machine. 240V on your hand, 0V on your
knee, with the rather vital heart halfway between. Death. From a
safety device.
Hey, you're here at 8 in the morning! I got up at 11:30pm, so I'm not
sure what time this is for me. I'll be going to bed late afternoon.
I was watch-keeping for a large part of my working life. It's no big
shakes WHEN one sleeps, but sleep IS necessary!
I've removed myself from the 24 hour religion of life. I get up when
ready, and go to sleep when tired, whenever that may be.
I'd forgotten about the Folding Home project. :-(
This is getting out of hand. I've joined the Scottish Boinc Team and am >>> running "sprints" and "marathons" to help them win. They usually get in >>> 1/2/3rd place in most competitions. This is not good enough, they must >>> get gold in everything.
THAT was the one you showed me before.
I only joined the Scottish Boinc Team last week. The only thing I told
you about a long time ago was Rosetta, which doesn't have much work
available just now, only for Windows on modern processors (they need AVX instructions - 5 of my 7 don't have that, and 1 slows down if I use it,
as it runs on Oracle Virtualpox, sorry, box).
I've now installed it on my main computer and will put it on my other
one shortly. I've also publicised the programme on my Facebook timeline >>>> and the group which I run.

I doubt you'll complete much in time if it's not maxed out. Fans are
meant to spin. Most of my fans run at 75% speed.

I was once chased to my house by a neighbour who objected to me

more people using our road that our road had a limit. What a crazy idea

The earth leakage type or the overload type?
Sadly, I have no idea. :-(
Can you tell from a picture? https://ibb.co/nckJpXw
Yes I can tell. The large one on the right is the earth leakage, to
prevent shocks. It trips if 30mA or more is not accounted for (it
compares live to neutral and if any is missing it must have gone to
earth, possibly through you, so it trips). Unfortunately you have the
cheap setup with only one of them, so the whole house will go off [1].
It also functions as a 100A limiter for the whole house, which should
trip before the 100A electricity board fuse by your meter does, if you
were to use that much, or something shorted inside the box, like a wire coming loose.
The others are just limiters and work exactly like fuses, to stop you
using more than 32A on the socket circuit for example,to prevent a
fire. I'm assuming the 4th from the left (downstairs power) is what
tripped when the iron was used, which means you have a very dodgy iron exceeding 32 amps when it's meant to use about 8.
[1] The fancy ones have earth leakage built into every breaker, so if
you get a shock you only trip that one circuit and the lights don't go
off, which is precisely what you don't want when up a ladder!
The earth leakage ones
hate microwave ovens, which leak current to earth on purpose. I
disconnected the earth to mine when I saw a parrot trying to chew the
flex. I removed the earth so the current couldn't go from the wire in
her beak through her heart to the earthed microwave chassis under her
feet [1]. But now when I run the microwave I get a tingle if I touch
it. So clearly something is meant to go to earth. At work, a microwave >>> kept tripping an earth leakage breaker, but they'd economised and only

[1] Earthing things was a very very dangerous idea. Consider you touch >>> a live wire for some reason - damaged flex, whatever. Normally you'd

A handbrake turn is better under those circumstances. Unfortunately I usually own a car without a functional handbrake. Apart from the aforementioned manoeuvre, I'm not sure what they're for, I just park in

I know I've been travelling as fast as cars when going downhill on a

There were no GPS measuring devices in my cycling days!
Mine was digital but counted the number of times a magnet passed the
sensor on the edge of the wheel.
I can't recall my children having such things.
This would be in about 1990. Before that I had a mechanical one which

I used to, then decided running was more fun than cycling when doing it
for fun, and driving was more convenient and efficient when doing it to
get somewhere. I can't see the point of bikes unless we run out of oil.

13 Amps!
That's partly the point an electric 3 bar fire or a washing machine in dryer mode
and a 3kw electric kettle. But these aren't always close enough and used at the same time
on a double outlet.
Not many things are used continuoisly or for a long period at 13 amps.
I doubt a washing maching would pull 13 amps and the heater would turn off and on anyway.
A kettle would but wouldn't be on for more than 10mins.

Can you tell from a picture? https://ibb.co/nckJpXw
Yes I can tell. The large one on the right is the earth leakage, to
prevent shocks. It trips if 30mA or more is not accounted for (it
compares live to neutral and if any is missing it must have gone to
earth, possibly through you, so it trips). Unfortunately you have the
cheap setup with only one of them, so the whole house will go off [1].
It also functions as a 100A limiter for the whole house, which should
trip before the 100A electricity board fuse by your meter does, if you
were to use that much, or something shorted inside the box, like a wire
coming loose.
It's the large, main breaker, is the one that trips with the iron. The
small one's don't ever seem to need resetting!
The others are just limiters and work exactly like fuses, to stop you
using more than 32A on the socket circuit for example,to prevent a
fire. I'm assuming the 4th from the left (downstairs power) is what
tripped when the iron was used, which means you have a very dodgy iron
exceeding 32 amps when it's meant to use about 8.
No, as I said above, it's the main breaker which trips!
[1] The fancy ones have earth leakage built into every breaker, so if
you get a shock you only trip that one circuit and the lights don't go

Yes I can tell. The large one on the right is the earth leakage, to

It's the large, main breaker, is the one that trips with the iron. The
small one's don't ever seem to need resetting!
Seems your iron has a loose wire and is leaking power to earth. Or
through your wife.
It's intermittent. The very worst kind of fault. Perhaps every seventh
time she uses the iron. After a reset everything works fine again
(including my Mrs!)
The others are just limiters and work exactly like fuses, to stop you

fire. I'm assuming the 4th from the left (downstairs power) is what
tripped when the iron was used, which means you have a very dodgy iron >>>> exceeding 32 amps when it's meant to use about 8.
No, as I said above, it's the main breaker which trips!

Why do you no longer agree?
Far too much traffic on the roads I've travelled in recent times. >>>>>>
That may well be true at times. At other times, there are too many
vehicles on the road.
If we all drove at double the speed and halved the "safety gap", we
could fit 4 times as many cars on the road.
We could connect them together with strong tow bars and operate them
like a train!
Volvo suggested with their very close speed matching radars they were
safer. An impact would be reduced a lot, because you're only a foot
away, so you're almost a part of the car in front.
I get what you say - but it's not for me.

Yes somewhat. The photo is against the light. (the server has been
down here).
This is the best I could do for now, though your sending a larger file
might help a little.) The yellow cast has gone, I've lightened the
faces a little, sharpening the image reveals spots and scratches, and
I've increased the vibrance a little. Importantly I've added the
annotation that is very important for future viewers.
If you can get PShop or similar then all the above is possible.
Quality scanning means a lot too. If you have many many
photos/slides then some commercial scanning service might be the way
to go after which you can adjust and annotate at leisure. Do this
while the subjects are still alive. And before the photos deteriorate further.

My sister is asking if you have have made any progress on the Lands End >>>> photograph. Has it proved to be more difficult than expected?
Thanks.
Yes somewhat. The photo is against the light. (the server has been
down here).
This is the best I could do for now, though your sending a larger file
might help a little.) The yellow cast has gone, I've lightened the
faces a little, sharpening the image reveals spots and scratches, and
I've increased the vibrance a little. Importantly I've added the
annotation that is very important for future viewers.
If you can get PShop or similar then all the above is possible.
Quality scanning means a lot too. If you have many many
photos/slides then some commercial scanning service might be the way
to go after which you can adjust and annotate at leisure. Do this
while the subjects are still alive. And before the photos deteriorate
further.

Thank you for your efforts and comments, Peter.
My parents died long ago and my younger son died when he was just 28
years of age.
I'm sorry to hear that David. I too have lost many of the past and now
I treasure all the old photos most of which have no comments on the
subjects names and where/when they were taken. Lately I have been
scrounging around distant relatives of my parents for their old photos
with the deal being my scanning them and returning the originals along
with my others they know nothing of. My father, long dead, once
threw out three kilos of old negatives in an old shoe box to my
endless regret. Lately I've been scanning old letters from WWII,
wills, birth certificates etc and giving copies to all relatives who
will take them.

13 Amps!
That's partly the point an electric 3 bar fire or a washing machine in dryer mode
and a 3kw electric kettle. But these aren't always close enough and used at the same time
on a double outlet.
Not many things are used continuoisly or for a long period at 13 amps.
I doubt a washing maching would pull 13 amps and the heater would turn off and on anyway.
A kettle would but wouldn't be on for more than 10mins.
Sadly, I have no idea. :-(I've got one of those circuit breakers. It trips now and again when my

Washing machine and tumble dryer next to each other? Quite common I

washes. Whoops, melted socket.
Perhaps you are right - but I've never seen or heard of such a meltdown. >> I have, but it was two of each on an extension strip. Seems the strip was weaker than the 13A fuse. I gave the irritated teacher two new strips, one much longer to plug in the other side of the room. One washer and one dryer seemed to manage together.
I have a LG washer dryer and it says in the instructions NOT to use it from an extention strip.
Which might seema bit odd but I'm guessing it's because some idiot would and plug a kettle, toaster and fan heater into the same strip.
Seems your iron has a loose wire and is leaking power to earth. Or through your wife.I've got one of those circuit breakers. It trips now and again when my >> >>>>> wife is doing the ironing.
The earth leakage type or the overload type?
Sadly, I have no idea. :-(
Can you tell from a picture? https://ibb.co/nckJpXw
Yes I can tell. The large one on the right is the earth leakage, to
prevent shocks. It trips if 30mA or more is not accounted for (it
compares live to neutral and if any is missing it must have gone to
earth, possibly through you, so it trips). Unfortunately you have the
cheap setup with only one of them, so the whole house will go off [1].
It also functions as a 100A limiter for the whole house, which should
trip before the 100A electricity board fuse by your meter does, if you
were to use that much, or something shorted inside the box, like a wire >> >> coming loose.
It's the large, main breaker, is the one that trips with the iron. The
small one's don't ever seem to need resetting!
If it's an old iron could be that the flex has twisted somewhere and worn internally
and a strange of the live wire comes into contact with earth.
Also I've seen on old appliences that a ON neon is connected between live and earth
and that can trigger a cutout, even seen one on a PSU where one side of the neon was connected to Live and the other to the metal case of the PSU
which was earthed.
I have fuses :-)The others are just limiters and work exactly like fuses, to stop you
using more than 32A on the socket circuit for example,to prevent a
fire. I'm assuming the 4th from the left (downstairs power) is what
tripped when the iron was used, which means you have a very dodgy iron
exceeding 32 amps when it's meant to use about 8.
No, as I said above, it's the main breaker which trips!
[1] The fancy ones have earth leakage built into every breaker, so if
you get a shock you only trip that one circuit and the lights don't go
off, which is precisely what you don't want when up a ladder!

Understood. Thanks.
To reduce fan speed, ensure they're dust free for better cooling, a
sharp blow from your mouth into it will shift it. Be ready to inhale a
lot of dust, or hold the end of a running hoover hose nearby!
Have you ever tried blowing into a 27 inch Apple iMac?!!!
This boy obviously has no sense of style ;-)
But what exactly is the problem? You blow where the dust settles. If that's hidden away deeply, you can blow through a straw, or get an air canister (aerosol without any deoderant in it basically).
Volvo suggested with their very close speed matching radars they were safer. An impact would be reduced a lot, because you're only a foot away, so you're almost a part of the car in front.Really OT: I can recall when we were driving around the UK on

That may well be true at times. At other times, there are too many
vehicles on the road.
If we all drove at double the speed and halved the "safety gap", we
could fit 4 times as many cars on the road.
We could connect them together with strong tow bars and operate them
like a train!
That doesn't really much much sense if you take into account breaking distances.
I know in F1 cars can be 6 inches apart and be doing 200MPH but they have really good brakes and drivers.
I wouldn't have thought a couple of volvos doing a ~70 MPH and if one hit the brakes the other could stop within 2 metre social distancing.
One day perhaps if boy have driverless mode and communicat with each other.

Funnily enough, I'm pro-fuse. I'm not bothered about getting a shock,
but I don't want something catching fire. It's amazing how many things
aren't protected properly. For example did you know a twin UK socket is
not rated to 26 amps? Most (apart from MK) are rated to 20 amps. So if
you max out both of them, things melt! I don't remember seeing a
warning on the front not to use both fully at the same time.

Perhaps you are right - but I've never seen or heard of such a meltdown.
I have a LG washer dryer and it says in the instructions NOT to use it from an extention strip.I see all sorts of weird stuff like that. My dad's log splitter is 2kW (might be 2.5) and says not to use on an extension cord over 5m. I have a 50m cord that says 13A (just over 3kW), so I don't see the problem.
Which might seema bit odd but I'm guessing it's because some idiot would and plug a kettle, toaster and fan heater into the same strip.
Unless they want to lessen the risk of tripping over it? It's running on a 10m cord half unwound attached to a 10m cord fully unwound which is already there for a freezer. I've split about 50 1-tonne bags of logs with it and it works fine. Motorisedhydraulics is fun.

Yes I can tell. The large one on the right is the earth leakage, to

Yes I think that is correct but you can lose quite a bit by taking it so early .I haven't checked the amounts, but I assume they assume you will die at a certain age. So if you're taking it over twice as many years, they halve the amount (with adjustments for interest and inflation etc).

An impact would be reduced a lot, because you're only a foot away, so you're almost a part of the car in front.
like a train!
That doesn't really much much sense if you take into account breaking distances.What?! If you're 1 foot behind the next car, and it jams it's brakes on, you will hit it with a closing speed of about 2mph and do no damage.
This will make you go "shit!" and jam on your brakes too.Bit late them with thinking distances let alone with reaction timnes.
I know in F1 cars can be 6 inches apart and be doing 200MPH but they have really good brakes and drivers.You don't have to stop in 2m, you have to react in 2m.
I wouldn't have thought a couple of volvos doing a ~70 MPH and if one hit the brakes the other could stop within 2 metre social distancing.

Driverless boys?! No no, they must be tied up and given strict instructions.

and people have to use extention leads of which the vast majority have 3 extra sockets to use some have more.

This is because of extra contact resistance causing heat/burning, and potentially (ha ha) poor grounding/earthing.
They are also of very variable quality and can degenerate (contacts wear
or become less tight) with use. Many cheap ones are extremely crappy to

All this doubly problematical in 110/120v countries, where currents

cerainly wouldn't put a heater, kettle or anyhting about about 1kw on it.

That's partly the point an electric 3 bar fire or a washing machine in dryer mode
and a 3kw electric kettle. But these aren't always close enough and used at the same time
on a double outlet.
Depends how big you see this potential,
this is probabbly why most houses don't have enough sockets
and people have to use extention leads of which the vast majority have 3 extra sockets to use some have more.
Not many things are used continuoisly or for a long period at 13 amps.People plug in fanheaters everywhere.
I doubt a washing maching would pull 13 amps and the heater would turn off and on anyway.
A kettle would but wouldn't be on for more than 10mins.
So, but I doubt more than 2 or 3 are running at the same time.

[1] Earthing things was a very very dangerous idea.
Not by those that know what they are doing.
Doesn't matter, the point is there is a live wire to touch. Best not to have an earth to go with it.Consider you touch
a live wire for some reason - damaged flex, whatever. Normally you'd
get a slight tingle or not even feel it.
Depending on how it is dameged.
A damaged flex is likely to short yhe live to the earth blowing the fuse or cutout that's the point.Not if the bare live wasn't touching the machine. A damaged flex is likely in a kitchen. Touch that and the earthed machine and you get a lot of current through you.But now imagine your knee is
touching an earthed washing machine. 240V on your hand, 0V on yourOh! Shiver me timbers!
knee, with the rather vital heart halfway between. Death. From a
safety device.
But if the washing machine was earthed it would blow the fuse or whatever device was in the consumer box that's the point.
That is why earthing a washing machine is a good idea same for most appliances.

But does that mean you have to travel faster.
I doubt most peolpe on a typivcal school run or to go to the loca supermarket would save much time
in a car capable of doing 200MHP over one capable of doing 70MPH
Facts show that doesn't work too well.
And actually acceleration is good for cutting in front of the slower drivers.Good brrakes are handy too, and a driver withy a brain is even better.
correct lane there - the highway code is very clear. If there are two lanes entering a roundabout, the left lane is used for going straight ahead unless otherwise marked. So many people think thee left lane is only for going left.I overtook a BMW on the roundabout the other day, and surprisingly they didn't get angry. Most BMW drivers do. They were in the wrong lane, I was in the correct lane. So I drove faster and they had to slam on their brakes. Not many people get the

why would you not use a log splitter on an extention lead then.No idea, it worked fine. The instructions said not to.
Why are a lot of professional power tolls run on 110V ?Safety from electrocution. They're also usually used through an isolating transformer, to negate the dangers of earth. That's the "safe" earth people attach to all their appliances which is actually fucking dangerous as it completes the circuit.

One girl that was more interested in taking selfies than doing her project, moved from one bench to another taking the glue gun with her.
After another 10mins of posing she put her hand on the glue gun and decdied it wasn't getting warm so unplugged it and plugged it into another socket.

Perhaps you are right - but I've never seen or heard of such a meltdown.
It didn't mention coils, it mentioned length of extension. And most long leads are coiled and the lengh would still have a resistance whether coiled or not.I see all sorts of weird stuff like that. My dad's log splitter is 2kW (might be 2.5) and says not to use on an extension cord over 5m. I have a 50m cord that says 13A (just over 3kW), so I don't see the problem.
I have a LG washer dryer and it says in the instructions NOT to use it from an extention strip.
Which might seema bit odd but I'm guessing it's because some idiot would and plug a kettle, toaster and fan heater into the same strip.
Thought you knew about physics, it''s a coil and due to induction( sort of eddy currents, resisyance/impedance) and the like it is more likely to heat up and retain that heat than a single lengh of cable.
And then there's the extra contact resistance, as you'd get an idiot saying but my extention cord was only 1 meter but I used 5 of them.
Motorised hydraulics is fun.Unless they want to lessen the risk of tripping over it? It's running on a 10m cord half unwound attached to a 10m cord fully unwound which is already there for a freezer. I've split about 50 1-tonne bags of logs with it and it works fine.
torque.Indeed, no problems at all. Probably 50% duty cycle while I do a barrow load, then the same time resting. So 50% for half the time is 25% overall. And I presume 2.5kW is when it's pushing against the log hard, a lot of time it's not working at full
I doubt it's on for very long periods continiously that is.
Yes if you know what your doing and understand things, but it's those that don't understand is when H&S and warning are most useful.
Or just get rid of the namby pamby breakers.Some of the lighting in my house uses earth instead of neutral because it was more convenient to connect to that. Just aswell I only have fuses.Seems your iron has a loose wire and is leaking power to earth. Or through your wife.I've got one of those circuit breakers. It trips now and again when my
wife is doing the ironing.
The earth leakage type or the overload type?
Sadly, I have no idea. :-(
Can you tell from a picture? https://ibb.co/nckJpXw

It trips if 30mA or more is not accounted for (it >> >> >> >> compares live to neutral and if any is missing it must have gone to >> >> >> >> earth, possibly through you, so it trips). Unfortunately you have the
cheap setup with only one of them, so the whole house will go off [1].
It also functions as a 100A limiter for the whole house, which should
trip before the 100A electricity board fuse by your meter does, if you
were to use that much, or something shorted inside the box, like a wire
coming loose.
It's the large, main breaker, is the one that trips with the iron. The
small one's don't ever seem to need resetting!
If it's an old iron could be that the flex has twisted somewhere and worn internally
and a strange of the live wire comes into contact with earth.
Also I've seen on old appliences that a ON neon is connected between live and earth
and that can trigger a cutout, even seen one on a PSU where one side of the neon was connected to Live and the other to the metal case of the PSU
which was earthed.
Yes I had to re-wire the old PSUs in a school because of that.
Be difficult after spending many thousands on upgrading the electrics.
I changed some breakers to less sensitive ones - the ones that are somehow ok for kids in their homes but illegal for kids in a school. They somehow become more sensitive when they're at school.
Not heard that one I'd say it's down to possible sueing if a kid or adult gets injured or killed.
Yankee pricks call it ground.They're the same thing anyway, there are only 2 conductors coming into my house.
there's a reason why the third wire is called Earth.
I guess we should be thankful they don't call it the first floor as they do with buildings.
Just think of teh cost of wiring if it needed to be connected to the moon or even Mars !Mine is not connected to earth here, it's connected to the transformer ('s earth). You'd think they could just run the 240V cable then use a spike at each house.
People don't give a fuck about things like that. They know it will cost them nothing compared to the price of the house if they want to change it.Why bother? You'll just earn yourself nuisance trips.I have fuses :-)The others are just limiters and work exactly like fuses, to stop you

No, as I said above, it's the main breaker which trips!
[1] The fancy ones have earth leakage built into every breaker, so if
you get a shock you only trip that one circuit and the lights don't go
off, which is precisely what you don't want when up a ladder!

That wasn't the reason it is because pensions not being able to last until death due to the average life expectancy increasing over the years.
They use life expectance to calculate such things, same problem the NHS has.How does that change my point? If I take my pension over twice the number of years, I get half the amount per year, I lose nothing, they lose nothing.
But if you live longer than expected then you draw more money than you were expecting.

How much do you think a car would slow from 60mph in 1 foot?What even if yuo're doing 60MPH, I doubt it.What?!

An impact would be reduced a lot, because you're only a foot away, so you're almost a part of the car in front.
That doesn't really much much sense if you take into account breaking distances.
not by much and that is the problem.
Reaction times in the highway code are about 3 times longer than any normal person.This will make you go "shit!" and jam on your brakes too.Bit late them with thinking distances let alone with reaction timnes.
I wonder how long it takes to put down the mobile phone or finish reading the latest post before looking up
and colliding with a stationary vehicle.
The local road was closed this morning as a car had driven into a house.
The house had been there fopr about 100 years so not sure what excuse the driver
might have for not seeing it and being able to stop.
But the car in front also takes some distance. The only difference between the car in front and the car behind is the point in time the brakes were pressed. So just reaction time.I know in F1 cars can be 6 inches apart and be doing 200MPH but they have really good brakes and drivers.You don't have to stop in 2m, you have to react in 2m.
I wouldn't have thought a couple of volvos doing a ~70 MPH and if one hit the brakes the other could stop within 2 metre social distancing.
Still takes a distance to come to a stop.
even if reaction time is instantanous no car is able to stop instantanously.

why would you not use a log splitter on an extention lead then.
I'd expect it to work OK and my washer dryer works fine on an expention lead too.
I think most things I have do. My garden strimmer did too but I got a bit fed up with
having to mak sure I didn;t fall over the lead or cut it, or get it tangled up
that I bought a cheap battery trimmer that does pretty much the same job and now
I don't have to keep skipping over a lead or have to worry about the plug coming out of any socket.
If I bought a log splitter I'd most likely go for a battery one so wouldn't have the lead problem.
Why are a lot of professional power tolls run on 110V ?Safety from electrocution. They're also usually used through an isolating transformer, to negate the dangers of earth. That's the "safe" earth people attach to all their appliances which is actually fucking dangerous as it completes the circuit.
that's the idea and it blows the fuse removing the dangerous volts from the case of the device they'll you'll be touching.
That is alos why most devices are earthed. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it wrong.
But remmeber it's the sustained current that kills not the voltage.
You're more likely to be killed by holding on to a 110V than from a 230V that breaks a connection via a fuse or breaker.

doesn;t always swith off the individual socket like it should, but I only use these ones for chargers

Wonder what made it expensive maybe the cable contained thick copper strands rather than some cheap £1 shop

even thin copper isn't best for charging, the longer the cable the more shitty it usually is unless.
Which is why almost any cable as a lenght limit including mains and USB.

and it was a 9kg load washer dryer.
why would you not use a log splitter on an extention lead then.
I'd expect it to work OK and my washer dryer works fine on an expention lead too.Never had a problem with that. For example cutting a lawn I simply go up and down working gradually away from the socket so the lead trails behind me. Admittedly if you have flowerbeds all over the lawn you need a battery mower to go round them more
I think most things I have do. My garden strimmer did too but I got a bit fed up with
having to mak sure I didn;t fall over the lead or cut it, or get it tangled up
that I bought a cheap battery trimmer that does pretty much the same job and now
I don't have to keep skipping over a lead or have to worry about the plug coming out of any socket.
If I bought a log splitter I'd most likely go for a battery one so wouldn't have the lead problem.A battery powered 2.5kW motor ROTFPMSL!
And since a log splitter sits in one place, why is a lead a problem?
Most people stand on this planet called earth.Why are a lot of professional power tolls run on 110V ?Safety from electrocution. They're also usually used through an isolating transformer, to negate the dangers of earth. That's the "safe" earth people attach to all their appliances which is actually fucking dangerous as it completes the circuit.
that's the idea and it blows the fuse removing the dangerous volts from the case of the device they'll you'll be touching.A circuit is required to cause current to flow. If there is no earth, you cannot get a shock. You need live plus earth/neutral to get the shock.
That is alos why most devices are earthed. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it wrong.
But remmeber it's the sustained current that kills not the voltage.Oh you're not one of those are you? Look, your car battery has 300 amps and 12 volts, you can't even feel it. Volts are required to cause the fucking current.
trip.You're more likely to be killed by holding on to a 110V than from a 230V that breaks a connection via a fuse or breaker.Bullshit, absolute bullshit. The fuse or breaker (assuming you mean a current one, not an earth leakage one) will blow when over 13 amps or whatever flows. That's way more than will go through you as you have a fair bit of resistance, so it will never
Aluminium was only cheaper for a short time in the long distant past, which is why some phone cables are aluminium, which makes them shit for broadband.I have an expensive professional strip stolen from a network cabinet and the switch died on that. Ok I was running it at 4kW....This is because of extra contact resistance causing heat/burning, and
potentially (ha ha) poor grounding/earthing.
They are also of very variable quality and can degenerate (contacts wear
or become less tight) with use. Many cheap ones are extremely crappy to
start off with !
yes I've noticed that about some really cheap ones. I have a few where even the rocker switch
doesn;t always swith off the individual socket like it should, but I only use these ones for chargers
cerainly wouldn't put a heater, kettle or anyhting about about 1kw on it.
Wonder what made it expensive maybe the cable contained thick copper strands rather than some cheap £1 shop
that I heard use aluminium.
and shit for charging too.I don't charge things off my phoneline.
Happens in boats t a friend had this problem he couldn't start the engine, he thought he could save money by using old mains cable from the battery to the started motor.even thin copper isn't best for charging, the longer the cable the more shitty it usually is unless.Never come across a length prpblem apart from when I connected up my own solar panels. Running 12V from the garage roof to the house was annoying, as I would drop a couple of volts easily.
Which is why almost any cable as a lenght limit including mains and USB.
normal use shorted out. When I plugged it in the other day there was a big flash as the very thin wire evaporated. Oh well it charges batteries ok, I just need to put a wire and plug on it.If you want to see cheap, do what I did and buy an 18650 battery charger for 99p including postage from China. The plug actually had PLASTIC pins, PAINTED to conduct! It worked though, until the exceedingly thin wire through a bit of tugging through
protected the phone better. I guess he doesn't understand crumple zones. Well guess who's paying for the return postage.Wate money on expensive wire, just use the silver foil from kit-kat wrappers.It's amazing the shit people try to sell on Ebay, I just bought a phone protective cover advertised as a full cover for both sides made of silicone (soft, absorbs shock). But no, one side was cheap hard plastic, which he just tried to convince me
If it's good enough for junkies, instead of buying expensive bacofoil......
All Americans have the mental age of kids.It's also to clear the washing machine manufacture if a fire is caused by the washing machine.This blame bullshit should have stayed in childish America.

Little chance of getting a tow truck for such a thing near me, cars parked to close together.

Last two breakins of cars near me where 2 BMWs one had it's steering wheel stolen and the other had the disabled parking badge stolen.What weird things to steal!
I can understand the parking badge quick and easy, and there's a market for them apparently.
would have thought a steering wheel would be difficult to remove, maybe there's was something special about it.

punishment for their stupidity, or was too stupid to notice (it was the thickest teacher in the school).For example?In actual fact I just followed where he was looking, saw something I knew would irritated him, and corrected it.I was once at an office xmas lunch in a restaurant, and my (slightly
OCD) colleague was opposite me and looked irritated. I turned round to
follow his gaze and saw a photo on the wall which was slightly
misaligned. I straightened it, and he said thank you. The other
colleagues were alarmed and thought we had telepathy.
The greater consciousness of mankind, I call it.
I do the same with students.
Watch them see what they are trying to do.
One girl that was more interested in taking selfies than doing her project, moved from one bench to another taking the glue gun with her.
After another 10mins of posing she put her hand on the glue gun and decdied it wasn't getting warm so unplugged it and plugged it into another socket.
Carried on posing and chatting away on her phone, after anotherb 10mins I went over towards her and asked if everything was OK, she said your glue guns doesn't work it's not heating up.
So I showed her the rocker switch next to the socket and explained that you need to switch that on too, and in about 5mins it'll be hot enough.
She looked really embarresed as she'd been at least 30mins in to her 2 hour allocated time and done nothing.
But I didn't make fun of her, she know she'd did that all on her own :-) >> ROTFPMSL!
We were once doing some electrical work in a classroom, and found a poster that had been drawn which said "the importance of learing". Neither of us could stop laughing for a full 5 minutes. I have to wonder if the teacher left that there as a
Why not? Eating doesn't require much brainpower, might aswell get things done at the same time.I never closed for lunch. In fact lunch was the best time to fix things, when others weren't using the computers.
I've done similar things I even put a notice on the wall upside down the students were laughing , I asked them what was funny , they said because it's upside down,
I said Ah so you've actually read it then , so you know I'm closed for lunch from 1-2pm, so you won't keep knocking on the door now will you.
We don't close as a lab but we aren't there when going out to get sandwhiches and I don't like students coming up to me asking for things etc
while I'm eating,
I do my own things, students need to learn discipline too. When we are open and when closed.
A friend of mine said she kept feeling tiggly when in the shower. So I went over and found that the boidger had installed the shower
using twin and earth and that the Live had shorted to the earth making the shower head live, and the flat wasn;t earthed.
She';s lucky she wasn't killed, if it had been earthed the fuse would have blown.

But with AC the volts reduce, lots of fires are caused by batteries which can be fatal too.
Lots of fires are electrical and these are caused by high currents our last 2 fire alarms were set off because of fires caused by low voltage DC.
One of our students projects when working on a drone the battery was onl;y 11.1V but capable of 400 amps. Some how they shorted it out the cable melted and caused the fire alarm to go off.
Another happened in another lab working on a small scale felectric car note sure of the details .
But EVs typically rub on 400V peolpe managed to site in them without getting electrucuted.

That is alos why most devices are earthed. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it wrong.
or are wearing non conductive shoes. When I were a lad, my friend dared me to touch an electric fence. So I did. Nothing happened, until I touched the ground with my other hand. That was funny, I did a mexican wave.
A friend of mine said she kept feeling tiggly when in the shower. So I went over and found that the boidger had installed the showerIf there was no earth in the cable she also wouldn't have got a shock. Earths can be dangerous.
using twin and earth and that the Live had shorted to the earth making the shower head live, and the flat wasn;t earthed.
She';s lucky she wasn't killed, if it had been earthed the fuse would have blown.
It's not likely to be killed by electricity actually. It's why they call it a "shock". In fact I've heard our 240V is safer than the USA 110V, because you jump more and let go.
And as you've said, she felt tingly, so hardly dangerous.
Those earth leakage breakers are useless, my dad still got a shock with one when he unplugged a lamp and the pins weren't sleeved. Live to neutral, no trip. Same with my neighbour working on lighting that someone else then switched on. He flew off theladder.
You can buy Chinese shower head with an exposed heating element in the water.
They do have a safety device, a bit of earth wire under the element to catch some of the power going through the water. They tell you not to use the shower head less than a feet from the top of your head or you might feel tingly.
But remmeber it's the sustained current that kills not the voltage.Oh you're not one of those are you? Look, your car battery has 300 amps and 12 volts, you can't even feel it. Volts are required to cause the fucking current.
But with AC the volts reduce, lots of fires are caused by batteries which can be fatal too.If he was working on it he could sound the alarm.
Lots of fires are electrical and these are caused by high currents our last 2 fire alarms were set off because of fires caused by low voltage DC.
One of our students projects when working on a drone the battery was onl;y 11.1V but capable of 400 amps. Some how they shorted it out the cable melted and caused the fire alarm to go off.
Another happened in another lab working on a small scale felectric car note sure of the details .
But EVs typically rub on 400V peolpe managed to site in them without getting electrucuted.The batteries are sealed just incase you go through a ford and kill all the fish or a dog/person wading across. Pathetic health and softy but I guess it also means you don't bust the car.
never trip.You're more likely to be killed by holding on to a 110V than from a 230V that breaks a connection via a fuse or breaker.Bullshit, absolute bullshit. The fuse or breaker (assuming you mean a current one, not an earth leakage one) will blow when over 13 amps or whatever flows. That's way more than will go through you as you have a fair bit of resistance, so it will
That's why we have earth leakage ones.Those are a pest, they trip when you run a microwave, or turn on several computers at once (filter capacitors).
I don't charge things off my phoneline.Aluminium was only cheaper for a short time in the long distant past, which is why some phone cables are aluminium, which makes them shit for broadband.I have an expensive professional strip stolen from a network cabinet and the switch died on that. Ok I was running it at 4kW....This is because of extra contact resistance causing heat/burning, and
potentially (ha ha) poor grounding/earthing.
They are also of very variable quality and can degenerate (contacts wear
or become less tight) with use. Many cheap ones are extremely crappy to
start off with !
yes I've noticed that about some really cheap ones. I have a few where even the rocker switch
doesn;t always swith off the individual socket like it should, but I only use these ones for chargers
cerainly wouldn't put a heater, kettle or anyhting about about 1kw on it.
Wonder what made it expensive maybe the cable contained thick copper strands rather than some cheap £1 shop
that I heard use aluminium.
and shit for charging too.
Most charge their phones via a USB cable, I do.I've never had a USB cable that refused to charge my phone.
I was told I had to run very thick cable for my 6kW car stereo. My friend fitted a huge capacitor in the boot of his car. I just added a second battery in the back.Happens in boats t a friend had this problem he couldn't start the engine, he thought he could save money by using old mains cable from the battery to the started motor.even thin copper isn't best for charging, the longer the cable the more shitty it usually is unless.Never come across a length prpblem apart from when I connected up my own solar panels. Running 12V from the garage roof to the house was annoying, as I would drop a couple of volts easily.
Which is why almost any cable as a lenght limit including mains and USB.
through normal use shorted out. When I plugged it in the other day there was a big flash as the very thin wire evaporated. Oh well it charges batteries ok, I just need to put a wire and plug on it.If you want to see cheap, do what I did and buy an 18650 battery charger for 99p including postage from China. The plug actually had PLASTIC pins, PAINTED to conduct! It worked though, until the exceedingly thin wire through a bit of tugging
protected the phone better. I guess he doesn't understand crumple zones. Well guess who's paying for the return postage.It's amazing the shit people try to sell on Ebay, I just bought a phone protective cover advertised as a full cover for both sides made of silicone (soft, absorbs shock). But no, one side was cheap hard plastic, which he just tried to convince me
Wate money on expensive wire, just use the silver foil from kit-kat wrappers.
If it's good enough for junkies, instead of buying expensive bacofoil......
I rarely use ebay for this sort of reason, not worth my time pissing about with it. I thinbk this is why the college doesnt; allow us to use ebayI used Ebay all the time at the school, got everything about a third of the price of the "correct" suppliers. I was collecting a couple of grand a month from petty cash.

You can buy Chinese shower head with an exposed heating element in the water.
Apparently you can buy fake rice that is plastic and it;s cheaper than rice so can be mixed in with real rice.Be funny to watch everyone puking it up. I doubt the digestive system would like it very much.
They do have a safety device, a bit of earth wire under the element to catch some of the power going through the water. They tell you not to use the shower head less than a feet from the top of your head or you might feel tingly.
Seems strange they'd tell you if it was safe enough.It is safe if it's kept away from your head.

But with AC the volts reduce, lots of fires are caused by batteries which can be fatal too.
Lots of fires are electrical and these are caused by high currents our last 2 fire alarms were set off because of fires caused by low voltage DC.
One of our students projects when working on a drone the battery was onl;y 11.1V but capable of 400 amps. Some how they shorted it out the cable melted and caused the fire alarm to go off.
Another happened in another lab working on a small scale felectric car note sure of the details .
But he didn't notice until the smoke started to rise which set the alarm off.So he would have noticed the smoke before the alarm did.

and I think the TwE insulation is less likely to melt at the temerature that a flex might start to melt at.I doubt it. Try leaving the flex for your table lamp against a hot central heating radiator.
The reason flex is flexible isn't a different insulation, the same stuff could be used, it's because the conductors are thick instead of many fine strands.The thinkness of the insulation also has an effect.

This whole conversation was about students interrupting your lunchbreak.Most places don't shut for lunch now, even my pharmacist. It's not productive.Why not? Eating doesn't require much brainpower, might aswell get things done at the same time.
I do my own things, students need to learn discipline too. When we are open and when closed.
We don't shut for lunch open from 9-6 term time for labs.
Yes. I have a lunch break just like I have a break to have a shit.
There are two other technicians in the labs, and usually the lecturer and one or two demostrators sometimes more.
Do you let students ask for help while you take a dump.

Those are a pest, they trip when you run a microwave, or turn on several computers at once (filter capacitors).
That's why we have earth leakage ones.
we have them and they aren't a problem but it depends which type I guess.
We can typically turn on 48 computers all at once. Most are in banks of 12.
I've never had a USB cable that refused to charge my phone.I don't charge things off my phoneline.Aluminium was only cheaper for a short time in the long distant past, which is why some phone cables are aluminium, which makes them shit for broadband.I have an expensive professional strip stolen from a network cabinet and the switch died on that. Ok I was running it at 4kW....This is because of extra contact resistance causing heat/burning, and
potentially (ha ha) poor grounding/earthing.
They are also of very variable quality and can degenerate (contacts wear
or become less tight) with use. Many cheap ones are extremely crappy to
start off with !
yes I've noticed that about some really cheap ones. I have a few where even the rocker switch
doesn;t always swith off the individual socket like it should, but I only use these ones for chargers
cerainly wouldn't put a heater, kettle or anyhting about about 1kw on it.
Wonder what made it expensive maybe the cable contained thick copper strands rather than some cheap £1 shop
that I heard use aluminium.
and shit for charging too.
Most charge their phones via a USB cable, I do.
I've had a few, it's the only ones the students leave in the lab, they rarley leave anything decent behind.
I was told I had to run very thick cable for my 6kW car stereo. My friend fitted a huge capacitor in the boot of his car. I just added a second battery in the back.Happens in boats t a friend had this problem he couldn't start the engine, he thought he could save money by using old mains cable from the battery to the started motor.even thin copper isn't best for charging, the longer the cable the more shitty it usually is unless.Never come across a length prpblem apart from when I connected up my own solar panels. Running 12V from the garage roof to the house was annoying, as I would drop a couple of volts easily.
Which is why almost any cable as a lenght limit including mains and USB.
Different usage those capacitors are to support the high current drawn when the bass kicks in.
through normal use shorted out. When I plugged it in the other day there was a big flash as the very thin wire evaporated. Oh well it charges batteries ok, I just need to put a wire and plug on it.If you want to see cheap, do what I did and buy an 18650 battery charger for 99p including postage from China. The plug actually had PLASTIC pins, PAINTED to conduct! It worked though, until the exceedingly thin wire through a bit of tugging

I used Ebay all the time at the school, got everything about a third of the price of the "correct" suppliers. I was collecting a couple of grand a month from petty cash.
I rarely use ebay for this sort of reason, not worth my time pissing about with it. I thinbk this is why the college doesnt; allow us to use ebay
unless 'we' take responsibility.
They won't allow us to use petty cash, everything has to have some for of paper or perhaps PDF trail.
Who cares if some stuff is shit, you just get your money back.
Some people don't or it takes too long .

A lot of American outlets have no switch!It's not likely to be killed by electricity actually. It's why they call it a "shock". In fact I've heard our 240V is safer than the USA 110V, because you jump more and let go.

This whole conversation was about students interrupting your lunchbreak.Most places don't shut for lunch now, even my pharmacist. It's not productive.Why not? Eating doesn't require much brainpower, might aswell get things done at the same time.
I do my own things, students need to learn discipline too. When we are open and when closed.
We don't shut for lunch open from 9-6 term time for labs.
Yes. I have a lunch break just like I have a break to have a shit.
Why? Just have a break whenever it's quiet.
There are two other technicians in the labs, and usually the lecturer and one or two demostrators sometimes more.
Do you let students ask for help while you take a dump.That is not as interruptible as eating.

Best to have such things sealed, some nasty chemicals in them too.Best to use petrol.
never trip.You're more likely to be killed by holding on to a 110V than from a 230V that breaks a connection via a fuse or breaker.Bullshit, absolute bullshit. The fuse or breaker (assuming you mean a current one, not an earth leakage one) will blow when over 13 amps or whatever flows. That's way more than will go through you as you have a fair bit of resistance, so it will
Maybe being smaller kids ahve lower resistance and genallry wetter snd snottier or whatever.Those are a pest, they trip when you run a microwave, or turn on several computers at once (filter capacitors).
That's why we have earth leakage ones.
we have them and they aren't a problem but it depends which type I guess.Yeah some are stupidly sensitive, not sure what the over the top regs are in unis, but in schools they want them to trip faster than in houses, because magically the kids are more sensitive when they're not at home.
We can typically turn on 48 computers all at once. Most are in banks of 12.Try actually plugging them in all at once. As in turning them on together with a power strip or three. The filter caps in the PSUs can trip the earth leakage breakers, because well those caps are supposed to conduct a bit to earth!
I've never had a USB cable that refused to charge my phone.I don't charge things off my phoneline.Aluminium was only cheaper for a short time in the long distant past, which is why some phone cables are aluminium, which makes them shit for broadband.I have an expensive professional strip stolen from a network cabinet and the switch died on that. Ok I was running it at 4kW....This is because of extra contact resistance causing heat/burning, and
potentially (ha ha) poor grounding/earthing.
They are also of very variable quality and can degenerate (contacts wear
or become less tight) with use. Many cheap ones are extremely crappy to
start off with !
yes I've noticed that about some really cheap ones. I have a few where even the rocker switch
doesn;t always swith off the individual socket like it should, but I only use these ones for chargers
cerainly wouldn't put a heater, kettle or anyhting about about 1kw on it.
Wonder what made it expensive maybe the cable contained thick copper strands rather than some cheap £1 shop
that I heard use aluminium.
and shit for charging too.
Most charge their phones via a USB cable, I do.
I've had a few, it's the only ones the students leave in the lab, they rarley leave anything decent behind.They've probably snapped the conductors inside. Who knows what they get up to when drunk.
through normal use shorted out. When I plugged it in the other day there was a big flash as the very thin wire evaporated. Oh well it charges batteries ok, I just need to put a wire and plug on it.I was told I had to run very thick cable for my 6kW car stereo. My friend fitted a huge capacitor in the boot of his car. I just added a second battery in the back.Happens in boats t a friend had this problem he couldn't start the engine, he thought he could save money by using old mains cable from the battery to the started motor.even thin copper isn't best for charging, the longer the cable the more shitty it usually is unless.Never come across a length prpblem apart from when I connected up my own solar panels. Running 12V from the garage roof to the house was annoying, as I would drop a couple of volts easily.
Which is why almost any cable as a lenght limit including mains and USB.
Different usage those capacitors are to support the high current drawn when the bass kicks in.
Same idea, it allows a huge current draw for a short time, saving you on an enormous cable. Mind you they probably wouldn't power a starter for long enough to get the engine fired up.
If you want to see cheap, do what I did and buy an 18650 battery charger for 99p including postage from China. The plug actually had PLASTIC pins, PAINTED to conduct! It worked though, until the exceedingly thin wire through a bit of tugging
protected the phone better. I guess he doesn't understand crumple zones. Well guess who's paying for the return postage.It's amazing the shit people try to sell on Ebay, I just bought a phone protective cover advertised as a full cover for both sides made of silicone (soft, absorbs shock). But no, one side was cheap hard plastic, which he just tried to convince me
Wate money on expensive wire, just use the silver foil from kit-kat wrappers.
If it's good enough for junkies, instead of buying expensive bacofoil......
I used Ebay all the time at the school, got everything about a third of the price of the "correct" suppliers. I was collecting a couple of grand a month from petty cash.
I rarely use ebay for this sort of reason, not worth my time pissing about with it. I thinbk this is why the college doesnt; allow us to use ebay
unless 'we' take responsibility.
They won't allow us to use petty cash, everything has to have some for of paper or perhaps PDF trail.You need to go to a procurement meeting and point out they're buying from the wrong sources. They tend not to like it when you point out they're receiving back handers from the suppliers.
buy a 12V 8A supply. A Chinese amp is about two normal amps. You can get 4A out of it, but when you tell them it can't do 8, you get it for free.Who cares if some stuff is shit, you just get your money back.
Some people don't or it takes too long .I have loads of free stuff from China which is good enough for what I need, but not what they advertised, so they pay me 100% refund, and the postage costs too much to send it back so they just let me keep it. For example, if you want a 12V 4A supply,
we're having problems getting raspberry Pi 4s at the moment.Problems getting them at all, or problems getting them at a reasonable price?
Most of the stuff we buy isn't cheaper on ebay anyway.Some stuff is, some stuff isn't. I don't understand some sellers, when you subtract what they must pay for postage and Ebay fees, they end up with 50p. So unless they're stealing the goods, that's not a profit.
There might be the odd scientist with intelligence, but they're most likely Oriental and not actual Americans.All Americans have the mental age of kids.It's also to clear the washing machine manufacture if a fire is caused by the washing machine.This blame bullshit should have stayed in childish America.

Common sense to drink bleach to cure covid, there;s a reason why so many trump supports died of covid
they believe God would protect them from covid, but they still need to buy guns because obviously God can't protect them.
That canadians burned the white house, and there were airports in the 17th century.
Trump survived covid.
Strange he needed so many doctors and drugs to cure him from a fake disease.It doesn't kill fit people.
How come this guy, who has a heart condition, survived it twice? https://www.patreon.com/krzyszp

Steroids perhaps?
But it's not just the deaths it's the overall effect.The overall effect is stupid governments imposing lockdowns and fucking everything up.
I've notice that I haven't even had a cold of any sort since wearing a mask and hand sanatising.I avoided colds very easily. See when you go through a double door? Always use the one the person in front didn't.
I usually get at least 3 a year and one thatv I need to take time off from work.
Also ice baths prevent colds.

The reason flex is flexible isn't a different insulation, the same stuff could be used, it's because the conductors are thick instead of many fine strands.The thinkness of the insulation also has an effect.

I can understand the parking badge quick and easy, and there's a market for them apparently.
I don't , I rarely need one.
No I do it at work.
I've only had to do that once in teh last 10 years too.

Because the people aren't in seems a reasonable reason.
I found a parcel at my front door that had been in the rain for hours.
why not make a box leave it with an unlocked padlock and tell anyone to leave the pacels in and lock it.
Seems a simple solution to me.
That's why they did it in Egypt.Religious claptrap.Stealing VW badges used to be the in thing.

Not all, some dye
some shave and use eyebrow pencil.Drawn on eyebrows look ridiculous.

They aren't meant to, I'm thinking egyptian style
what has religion got to do with it ?
So, it;s not done today for that reason.
People men and wonmen used to wear makeup and perfumes so they couldn't smell the stench of the cities or see the sores on their person.
Because she's an idiot.She'd look amazing without any of that.I prefer someone who's naturally good looking without having to add it.I've know some to wear coloured cotactThose can be nice. Still don't look quite right though.
lenes, one in particular has green cats eye contacts.
Avoiding looking like a fake would be a desire surely?They look fucking stupid. It's like painting your car a different colour and forgetting one door.
depends on the effect you want I guess.
Fake what exactly, I prefer the more creative types when it comes to looks.
Mmmmm Miley Cyrus!
She wears quite a bit of makeup and has lots of tattoes that's hardly natrual.
So why does she do it.
So you find iodiots attractive.

Notice he says it's rated to 70C, about the temperature of a central heating radiator, which flex is fine leaning against.
Continue watching, or fastforward, to see it catastrophically fail.
Apologies for the Queen's English.
It's similar thickness. The copper is what stiffens it. In fact if you strip some of it the insulation is quite flexible, while the copper remains stiff.The reason flex is flexible isn't a different insulation, the same stuff could be used, it's because the conductors are thick instead of many fine strands.The thinkness of the insulation also has an effect.

And why the fuck can't they use the doorbell?! A banging noise could be anything.
I found a parcel at my front door that had been in the rain for hours.
why not make a box leave it with an unlocked padlock and tell anyone to leave the pacels in and lock it.I have a shed with CCTV. And a notice saying to put things in it. Half of them can't be arsed. They want to do their round as fast as possible.
Seems a simple solution to me.
That's why they did it in Egypt.Religious claptrap.Stealing VW badges used to be the in thing.
No, because they never look 3D like hairs.Never seen that.Easy to spot, they're too thick to dye their eyebrows.and was she a natural blonde or fake blonde[titter] So what bright things have you done in your life? >> >> >> >> >> >Seems a newspaper boy was prosecuted for claiming he couldn't go

Mmmmm Miley Cyrus!
She wears quite a bit of makeup and has lots of tattoes that's hardly natrual.
So why does she do it.
So you find iodiots attractive.Intelligence does not change someone's looks. Anyway she has a fucking good voice.

Yes. I have a lunch break just like I have a break to have a shit.
Why? Just have a break whenever it's quiet.
Some of our classes are of 600 , we have to split them up throught the day.
There are two other technicians in the labs, and usually the lecturer and one or two demostrators sometimes more.That is not as interruptible as eating.

never trip.You're more likely to be killed by holding on to a 110V than from a 230V that breaks a connection via a fuse or breaker.Bullshit, absolute bullshit. The fuse or breaker (assuming you mean a current one, not an earth leakage one) will blow when over 13 amps or whatever flows. That's way more than will go through you as you have a fair bit of resistance, so it will
Maybe being smaller kids ahve lower resistance and genallry wetter snd snottier or whatever.Those are a pest, they trip when you run a microwave, or turn on several computers at once (filter capacitors).
That's why we have earth leakage ones.
we have them and they aren't a problem but it depends which type I guess. >> Yeah some are stupidly sensitive, not sure what the over the top regs are in unis, but in schools they want them to trip faster than in houses, because magically the kids are more sensitive when they're not at home.
We can typically turn on 48 computers all at once. Most are in banks of 12.Try actually plugging them in all at once. As in turning them on together with a power strip or three. The filter caps in the PSUs can trip the earth leakage breakers, because well those caps are supposed to conduct a bit to earth!
Bad design, to save money.
They've probably snapped the conductors inside. Who knows what they get up to when drunk.I've never had a USB cable that refused to charge my phone.I don't charge things off my phoneline.Aluminium was only cheaper for a short time in the long distant past, which is why some phone cables are aluminium, which makes them shit for broadband.I have an expensive professional strip stolen from a network cabinet and the switch died on that. Ok I was running it at 4kW....This is because of extra contact resistance causing heat/burning, and
potentially (ha ha) poor grounding/earthing.
They are also of very variable quality and can degenerate (contacts wear
or become less tight) with use. Many cheap ones are extremely crappy to
start off with !
yes I've noticed that about some really cheap ones. I have a few where even the rocker switch
doesn;t always swith off the individual socket like it should, but I only use these ones for chargers
cerainly wouldn't put a heater, kettle or anyhting about about 1kw on it.
Wonder what made it expensive maybe the cable contained thick copper strands rather than some cheap £1 shop
that I heard use aluminium.
and shit for charging too.
Most charge their phones via a USB cable, I do.
I've had a few, it's the only ones the students leave in the lab, they rarley leave anything decent behind.
Few of our students are drunk, it's not like the olde days of univs.
through normal use shorted out. When I plugged it in the other day there was a big flash as the very thin wire evaporated. Oh well it charges batteries ok, I just need to put a wire and plug on it.I was told I had to run very thick cable for my 6kW car stereo. My friend fitted a huge capacitor in the boot of his car. I just added a second battery in the back.Happens in boats t a friend had this problem he couldn't start the engine, he thought he could save money by using old mains cable from the battery to the started motor.even thin copper isn't best for charging, the longer the cable the more shitty it usually is unless.Never come across a length prpblem apart from when I connected up my own solar panels. Running 12V from the garage roof to the house was annoying, as I would drop a couple of volts easily.
Which is why almost any cable as a lenght limit including mains and USB.
Different usage those capacitors are to support the high current drawn when the bass kicks in.
Same idea, it allows a huge current draw for a short time, saving you on an enormous cable. Mind you they probably wouldn't power a starter for long enough to get the engine fired up.
If you want to see cheap, do what I did and buy an 18650 battery charger for 99p including postage from China. The plug actually had PLASTIC pins, PAINTED to conduct! It worked though, until the exceedingly thin wire through a bit of tugging
me protected the phone better. I guess he doesn't understand crumple zones. Well guess who's paying for the return postage.It's amazing the shit people try to sell on Ebay, I just bought a phone protective cover advertised as a full cover for both sides made of silicone (soft, absorbs shock). But no, one side was cheap hard plastic, which he just tried to convince
Wate money on expensive wire, just use the silver foil from kit-kat wrappers.
If it's good enough for junkies, instead of buying expensive bacofoil......
You need to go to a procurement meeting and point out they're buying from the wrong sources. They tend not to like it when you point out they're receiving back handers from the suppliers.I used Ebay all the time at the school, got everything about a third of the price of the "correct" suppliers. I was collecting a couple of grand a month from petty cash.
I rarely use ebay for this sort of reason, not worth my time pissing about with it. I thinbk this is why the college doesnt; allow us to use ebay
unless 'we' take responsibility.
They won't allow us to use petty cash, everything has to have some for of paper or perhaps PDF trail.
Well they try to stop it, but when you're boss is the one doing the fiddling.
buy a 12V 8A supply. A Chinese amp is about two normal amps. You can get 4A out of it, but when you tell them it can't do 8, you get it for free.I have loads of free stuff from China which is good enough for what I need, but not what they advertised, so they pay me 100% refund, and the postage costs too much to send it back so they just let me keep it. For example, if you want a 12V 4A supply,Who cares if some stuff is shit, you just get your money back.
Some people don't or it takes too long .
Not worth the effort and I doubt that would happen if we bought 50, which was the last large purchases of 5Amp PSU's
China but from a reputable source.
we're having problems getting raspberry Pi 4s at the moment.Problems getting them at all, or problems getting them at a reasonable price?
Problems getting them, they filter though 1 per customer from some suppliers.
Most of the stuff we buy isn't cheaper on ebay anyway.Some stuff is, some stuff isn't. I don't understand some sellers, when you subtract what they must pay for postage and Ebay fees, they end up with 50p. So unless they're stealing the goods, that's not a profit.

Common sense to drink bleach to cure covid, there;s a reason why so many trump supports died of covid
they believe God would protect them from covid, but they still need to buy guns because obviously God can't protect them.
That canadians burned the white house, and there were airports in the 17th century.

She';s lucky she wasn't killed, if it had been earthed the fuse would have blown.
No, you are allowed to use flex for running a ring main for example.I doubt it or it wouldn't pass the regulations.
Some of it's due to how long it will last the type of pastic used for flex insulation persishes quicker than the less flexable used for twin and earth.
Different regulations for Different uses.
So your statement is meaningless. TWE does not have a higher current rating. Both types have any current rating.TWE also has a higher sustained current ratingBullshit. Both have varying ratings depending on how thick the conductors are, you buy what's appropriate.
Yep that's the idea.
Here is TWE being overloaded:and I think the TwE insulation is less likely to melt at the temerature that a flex might start to melt at.I doubt it. Try leaving the flex for your table lamp against a hot central heating radiator.
and what would happen then ?
And over how many years.

Notice he says it's rated to 70C, about the temperature of a central heating radiator, which flex is fine leaning against.
Yes when it's overrated I doubt flex would be any different.
Shown the importance of having a fuse and maybe a MCB or RCD would trip quicker as the insulation burns through and they conductors short to earth.
Continue watching, or fastforward, to see it catastrophically fail.
Apologies for the Queen's English.
;-)
It's similar thickness. The copper is what stiffens it. In fact if you strip some of it the insulation is quite flexible, while the copper remains stiff.The reason flex is flexible isn't a different insulation, the same stuff could be used, it's because the conductors are thick instead of many fine strands.The thinkness of the insulation also has an effect.

Strange thatcars still have handbrakes if they are not needed.
I thought cars could be used for traveling around and even visiting places you don't live.
Been strange to see a car without a handbrake and there's a warning sticker saying not to be driven to places where you don't live or where there are steep hills.
I know F1 cars dont; have them but it;s not exactly a large market for such cars.
I've encountered more than that on driving lessons
in chingford mount with a bus lane on the left
there was no kerb, waiting for the lights and the large lorry trying to turn. If handbrakes weren't useful they wouldn;t waste money having them.

If it's a town road with a kerb, then yes you can use the kerb like a chock. >> >> > Youy don;t use the handbrake for an emergency stop.WTf do you mean "power" stopping. I'm talking about preventing movement when parked.Not what what are for? Gearboxes or stopping pins?It could go through something else. And sports one sometimes do, but usually not as it's hard to make one that can take that much power.Shorted motor? Or the same as an automatic petrol car, a bolt through the gearbox.
I wonder how Electric cars get around this, as I didn;t think they had gears in the same way.
why would an electric car have a gear box ?
That's not what they are for.
Hand brakes aren't for power stopping.
Yes that was what they are for but yuo seem to think they aren;t needed beacuse you can use steering of just not stoping on slopes is the answer
I would have fixed one of foot/handbrake.You do when the footbrake fails. I had a car for 6 months with zero footbrakes, I used gears and the handbrake to come to a stop.
Lucky they yuo had a handbrake in yuor world you say they aren;t needed so how would you have stopped the car ?
you said you had that situation for 6 months how long does it take to fix a handbrake ?

when approaching lights, changing to red when the bus stops.

Only been in a speeding car twice once a cab at 3am. about 60 or a 30 road. The police stopped him, but I surprised when they just said oh it's a BMW and then said just don;t do it again and that was it.
Thought I might have to walk a mile+ home.
Another time in cornwall which was more scary as it was a single road with hedges on either side
but he was a local so I guess he knew the chances of an oncoming vehicle was low.
But in london your lucky if you can get to 30MPH on most roads
I can be a childish arsehole too, but not with social shit like nightclubs.Yes, and those who never grew up. Which are you?Are you a teenager?Drove 10 miles to what you do. Or not do nightclubs that are for teenagers.You live in a city? Why?Or tan attempt to make yuor car difficult to be stolen or movedHandbrakes are very weak, that wouldn't stop anyone. You just put the car onto a tow truck anyway.
without the drivers or owners permission.
Little chance of getting a tow truck for such a thing near me, cars parked to close together.
Same reason most people do, can't really imagine living out in the sticks what do people do all day and night.
You mean for those that are to old to live.
No, do you think only teenages go to nightclubs.
Both depending how I feel.

You can't exactly fuck someone in the middle of a nightclub.
and bleepy/techno but the sights and people are interesting.
Have a nice cup of tea and an iced bun and share a bag or werthers originals.I'm the exact opposite of that.
Wow what a life.
Not sure what that means
Then you waste money.You never need to print a returns label etc?Most people have a printer.I thought they had some sort of ID or serial number, anyway doubt the person that stole it had a printer.Surely just print one?Last two breakins of cars near me where 2 BMWs one had it's steering wheel stolen and the other had the disabled parking badge stolen.What weird things to steal!
I can understand the parking badge quick and easy, and there's a market for them apparently.
I don't , I rarely need one.
No I do it at work.
I've only had to do that once in teh last 10 years too.
I aviod buying faulty or crap stuff that needs sending back.
I just don't buy a lot of stuff.
Looking to buy a big lens,
a normal photo printer and a 3D printer before then end of the summer.
And don't you ever sell anything?

No, you are allowed to use flex for running a ring main for example.I doubt it or it wouldn't pass the regulations.
Some of it's due to how long it will last the type of pastic used for flex insulation persishes quicker than the less flexable used for twin and earth.
Different regulations for Different uses.
So your statement is meaningless. TWE does not have a higher current rating. Both types have any current rating.TWE also has a higher sustained current ratingBullshit. Both have varying ratings depending on how thick the conductors are, you buy what's appropriate.
Yep that's the idea.
Here is TWE being overloaded:and I think the TwE insulation is less likely to melt at the temerature that a flex might start to melt at.I doubt it. Try leaving the flex for your table lamp against a hot central heating radiator.
and what would happen then ?
And over how many years.
https://youtu.be/bBYHtBPbBJE?t=363
Notice he says it's rated to 70C, about the temperature of a central heating radiator, which flex is fine leaning against.
Yes when it's overrated I doubt flex would be any different.Any fuse or breaker would trip very quickly with an overload that big, way before the wire. You don't need ELCB for that.
Shown the importance of having a fuse and maybe a MCB or RCD would trip quicker as the insulation burns through and they conductors short to earth.
What annoys me is unfused wires, take for example the monumentally stupid design of a ring main. So if one side comes undone, everything continues to work, but the fuse is no longer suitable for the single wire left.
We used to have a brilliant system with the round pin ones, fuse in the box for every outlet.
No idea why they got rid of the round pins.
Continue watching, or fastforward, to see it catastrophically fail.
Apologies for the Queen's English.
;-)
It's similar thickness. The copper is what stiffens it. In fact if you strip some of it the insulation is quite flexible, while the copper remains stiff.The reason flex is flexible isn't a different insulation, the same stuff could be used, it's because the conductors are thick instead of many fine strands.The thinkness of the insulation also has an effect.

That's why we have earth leakage ones.
we have them and they aren't a problem but it depends which type I guess.
We can typically turn on 48 computers all at once. Most are in banks of 12.Try actually plugging them in all at once. As in turning them on together with a power strip or three. The filter caps in the PSUs can trip the earth leakage breakers, because well those caps are supposed to conduct a bit to earth!
Bad design, to save money.No bad design anywhere. Explain.
They've probably snapped the conductors inside. Who knows what they get up to when drunk.I've never had a USB cable that refused to charge my phone.I don't charge things off my phoneline.Aluminium was only cheaper for a short time in the long distant past, which is why some phone cables are aluminium, which makes them shit for broadband.I have an expensive professional strip stolen from a network cabinet and the switch died on that. Ok I was running it at 4kW....This is because of extra contact resistance causing heat/burning, and
potentially (ha ha) poor grounding/earthing.
They are also of very variable quality and can degenerate (contacts wear
or become less tight) with use. Many cheap ones are extremely crappy to
start off with !
yes I've noticed that about some really cheap ones. I have a few where even the rocker switch
doesn;t always swith off the individual socket like it should, but I only use these ones for chargers
cerainly wouldn't put a heater, kettle or anyhting about about 1kw on it.
Wonder what made it expensive maybe the cable contained thick copper strands rather than some cheap £1 shop
that I heard use aluminium.
and shit for charging too.
Most charge their phones via a USB cable, I do.
I've had a few, it's the only ones the students leave in the lab, they rarley leave anything decent behind.
Few of our students are drunk, it's not like the olde days of univs.How old are we talking? When me and my sister were at uni everyone got drunk regularly. I'm 46 and she's 41.
tugging through normal use shorted out. When I plugged it in the other day there was a big flash as the very thin wire evaporated. Oh well it charges batteries ok, I just need to put a wire and plug on it.I was told I had to run very thick cable for my 6kW car stereo. My friend fitted a huge capacitor in the boot of his car. I just added a second battery in the back.Happens in boats t a friend had this problem he couldn't start the engine, he thought he could save money by using old mains cable from the battery to the started motor.even thin copper isn't best for charging, the longer the cable the more shitty it usually is unless.Never come across a length prpblem apart from when I connected up my own solar panels. Running 12V from the garage roof to the house was annoying, as I would drop a couple of volts easily.
Which is why almost any cable as a lenght limit including mains and USB.
Different usage those capacitors are to support the high current drawn when the bass kicks in.
Same idea, it allows a huge current draw for a short time, saving you on an enormous cable. Mind you they probably wouldn't power a starter for long enough to get the engine fired up.
If you want to see cheap, do what I did and buy an 18650 battery charger for 99p including postage from China. The plug actually had PLASTIC pins, PAINTED to conduct! It worked though, until the exceedingly thin wire through a bit of

Wate money on expensive wire, just use the silver foil from kit-kat wrappers.
If it's good enough for junkies, instead of buying expensive bacofoil......
You need to go to a procurement meeting and point out they're buying from the wrong sources. They tend not to like it when you point out they're receiving back handers from the suppliers.I used Ebay all the time at the school, got everything about a third of the price of the "correct" suppliers. I was collecting a couple of grand a month from petty cash.
I rarely use ebay for this sort of reason, not worth my time pissing about with it. I thinbk this is why the college doesnt; allow us to use ebay
unless 'we' take responsibility.
They won't allow us to use petty cash, everything has to have some for of paper or perhaps PDF trail.
Well they try to stop it, but when you're boss is the one doing the fiddling.Then point it out to someone higher up, or the police.
supply, buy a 12V 8A supply. A Chinese amp is about two normal amps. You can get 4A out of it, but when you tell them it can't do 8, you get it for free.I have loads of free stuff from China which is good enough for what I need, but not what they advertised, so they pay me 100% refund, and the postage costs too much to send it back so they just let me keep it. For example, if you want a 12V 4AWho cares if some stuff is shit, you just get your money back.
Some people don't or it takes too long .
Not worth the effort and I doubt that would happen if we bought 50, which was the last large purchases of 5Amp PSU'sYou buy a couple from 25 different sellers.
China but from a reputable source.
we're having problems getting raspberry Pi 4s at the moment.Problems getting them at all, or problems getting them at a reasonable price?
Problems getting them, they filter though 1 per customer from some suppliers.
Then get each member of staff or student to buy one each.
Or use Ebay, I can see 40 people selling those from £60 to £100. And more at a higher price.
Most of the stuff we buy isn't cheaper on ebay anyway.Some stuff is, some stuff isn't. I don't understand some sellers, when you subtract what they must pay for postage and Ebay fees, they end up with 50p. So unless they're stealing the goods, that's not a profit.

We don't have them in the lab, or on public transport.You use one at home or in a gym.

Seems to work for most people I didn;t think turning the steering wheel would stop a car moving I thought that was how you made it go
in a particular directionof choice.
Strange thatcars still have handbrakes if they are not needed.
I thought cars could be used for traveling around and even visiting places you don't live.
Been strange to see a car without a handbrake and there's a warning sticker saying not to be driven to places where you don't live or where there are steep hills.
I know F1 cars dont; have them but it;s not exactly a large market for such cars.
I've encountered more than that on driving lessonsAre you younger than I thought? I thought you were older than me.
in chingford mount with a bus lane on the leftThey're for learner drivers. I hill start with the footbrake.
there was no kerb, waiting for the lights and the large lorry trying to turn.
If handbrakes weren't useful they wouldn;t waste money having them.
inches at a time in gear.I just use the gears or turn the wheels into the kerb. I did once park on a steep hill without turning the wheels to the kerb. A passerby shouted to me "your car is dancing!" It was trying to start the engine and jumping back a few
If it's a town road with a kerb, then yes you can use the kerb like a chock.WTf do you mean "power" stopping. I'm talking about preventing movement when parked.Not what what are for? Gearboxes or stopping pins?It could go through something else. And sports one sometimes do, but usually not as it's hard to make one that can take that much power.Shorted motor? Or the same as an automatic petrol car, a bolt through the gearbox.
I wonder how Electric cars get around this, as I didn;t think they had gears in the same way.
why would an electric car have a gear box ?
That's not what they are for.
Hand brakes aren't for power stopping.
Yes that was what they are for but yuo seem to think they aren;t needed beacuse you can use steering of just not stoping on slopes is the answer
I would have fixed one of foot/handbrake.Youy don;t use the handbrake for an emergency stop.You do when the footbrake fails. I had a car for 6 months with zero footbrakes, I used gears and the handbrake to come to a stop.
Lucky they yuo had a handbrake in yuor world you say they aren;t needed so how would you have stopped the car ?
you said you had that situation for 6 months how long does it take to fix a handbrake ?It wasn't broken, the footbrake was broken.
Oh yes using stearing to the kerb of driving up steep hills to slow down.Why would I need to slow down when going uphill?
when approaching lights, changing to red when the bus stops.Gears.
to bash their heads off the roof.You sound like something from a Mr Bean sketch.I must give you a lift sometime, you'll be grabbing things for dear life. I once gave a lift to three colleagues. The one in the front seat found it amusing when I went more than double the speed limit over speedbumps, causing the women in the back
Only been in a speeding car twice once a cab at 3am. about 60 or a 30 road. The police stopped him, but I surprised when they just said oh it's a BMW and then said just don;t do it again and that was it.They let him off because it was a BMW?
That's not what happened when I was going a tonne on the motorway and a BMW overtook me about 130.
Thought I might have to walk a mile+ home.The police should have had to give you a lift.
Another time in cornwall which was more scary as it was a single road with hedges on either sideI dare you to get a lift off me, I'll scare you shitless. If the tyres don't squeal, you didn't go round the corner fast enough.
but he was a local so I guess he knew the chances of an oncoming vehicle was low.
But in london your lucky if you can get to 30MPH on most roads
I can be a childish arsehole too, but not with social shit like nightclubs.Yes, and those who never grew up. Which are you?Are you a teenager?Drove 10 miles to what you do. Or not do nightclubs that are for teenagers.You live in a city? Why?Or tan attempt to make yuor car difficult to be stolen or movedHandbrakes are very weak, that wouldn't stop anyone. You just put the car onto a tow truck anyway.
without the drivers or owners permission.
Little chance of getting a tow truck for such a thing near me, cars parked to close together.
Same reason most people do, can't really imagine living out in the sticks what do people do all day and night.
You mean for those that are to old to live.
No, do you think only teenages go to nightclubs.
Both depending how I feel.
I'm not ready for teh local retirement home, not even ready to book my place as you obviously are.
I prefer them to pubs, but never been tempted by festivals like Glastonbury (outdoor that is)That sounds fun with all the mud and scantily clad girls.

No the TG has rooms for that sort of thing.Sex in the middle of the nightclub? Cool. What happened? Did anyone stop them?It's happened in one I've gone to called TG, but it's not my sort of thing and the music was a bit repetitiveI guess if Miley Cyrus asked you to go to a nightclub you'd say no because you're both too old.I'd prefer to go somewhere more quiet with her. You can't exactly fuck someone in the middle of a nightclub.
and bleepy/techno but the sights and people are interesting.
Have a nice cup of tea and an iced bun and share a bag or werthers originals.I'm the exact opposite of that.
Wow what a life.
Not sure what that meansThe things you listed are the last thing I enjoy doing.
Then you waste money.You never need to print a returns label etc?Most people have a printer.I thought they had some sort of ID or serial number, anyway doubt the person that stole it had a printer.Surely just print one?Last two breakins of cars near me where 2 BMWs one had it's steering wheel stolen and the other had the disabled parking badge stolen.What weird things to steal!
I can understand the parking badge quick and easy, and there's a market for them apparently.
I don't , I rarely need one.
No I do it at work.
I've only had to do that once in teh last 10 years too.
I aviod buying faulty or crap stuff that needs sending back.
I just don't buy a lot of stuff.I used to have a "Bigma". The largest Sigma telephoto - a zoom from 50mm - 500mm. https://live.staticflickr.com/2164/2238883747_a33bc23b33.jpg
Looking to buy a big lens,
a normal photo printer and a 3D printer before then end of the summer.I thought about a 3D printer, but realised I wouldn't use it that much. Just now and then to make a replacement part for something. If I really need that, people on Ebay will do it for you for a tenner.
And don't you ever sell anything?
Rarely and if I do it's mostly to friends , never found it worth the effort of making a decent post and taking things to the PO.Royal Mail collect for 60p now.
One left a package the other day, he knocked then placed it on the doorstep. Ok, my car was in the driveway, but is that a guarantee I'm in?Most thefts seems to be amazon boxes left outsideWhy do Amazon do that? Hermes do too,
Because the people aren't in seems a reasonable reason.
That is annoying I take a day off or have it delivered to work.Yes but if they don't say what day or time.
Have you thought about a security box and padlock.There is a shed and CCTV. If the idiots won't put it in the shed, I doubt they'd put it in a box.
And why the fuck can't they use the doorbell?! A banging noise could be anything.
I haven't got a doorbell.Chav.
I'm waiting for a B&Q delivery now, some decking boards at home.I get that sort of stuff in my car. Came home with several 5 metres joists on the roof once. And another time an entire large flatpacked shed. Probably illegal to do that, it was substantially larger than the car.
I have a shed with CCTV. And a notice saying to put things in it. Half of them can't be arsed. They want to do their round as fast as possible.I found a parcel at my front door that had been in the rain for hours. >> >why not make a box leave it with an unlocked padlock and tell anyone to leave the pacels in and lock it.
Seems a simple solution to me.
That's bad I've not had any problems with amazon but then again don;t have much delivered to home unless it's a large thing.I don't think it's any one courier in particular, it just depends on the driver.
So not needed nowadays.That's why they did it in Egypt.Religious claptrap.Stealing VW badges used to be the in thing.
No, because they never look 3D like hairs.Never seen that.Easy to spot, they're too thick to dye their eyebrows.[titter] So what bright things have you done in your life?Seems a newspaper boy was prosecuted for claiming he couldn't go
over
16mph on his bicycle!
Haha! :-D
I've done 39mph on my mountain bike, but this was using God's force,
gravity.
OY! I saw that! You capitalised god! You edited MY sentence!
Just checking to see if you are paying attention to detail! :-D
I wasn't, but my subconscious notices everything.
You are nearly as bright as me!
and was she a natural blonde or fake blonde
Not all, some dye
some shave and use eyebrow pencil.Drawn on eyebrows look ridiculous.
Note when it;s done with style.
They aren't meant to, I'm thinking egyptian style
what has religion got to do with it ?
So, it;s not done today for that reason.
People men and women used to wear makeup and perfumes so they couldn't smell
the stench of the cities or see the sores on their person.
I do prefer certain styles , I guess everyone does.I prefer the natural style.
Intelligence does not change someone's looks. Anyway she has a fucking good voice.Because she's an idiot.She'd look amazing without any of that.I prefer someone who's naturally good looking without having to add it.I've know some to wear coloured cotactThose can be nice. Still don't look quite right though.
lenes, one in particular has green cats eye contacts.
Avoiding looking like a fake would be a desire surely?They look fucking stupid. It's like painting your car a different colour and forgetting one door.
depends on the effect you want I guess.
Fake what exactly, I prefer the more creative types when it comes to looks.
Mmmmm Miley Cyrus!
She wears quite a bit of makeup and has lots of tattoes that's hardly natrual.
So why does she do it.
So you find iodiots attractive.
I'm not saying I'd kick her out of my kitchen ;-)How about the bedroom?
Just not my preferred type.Who is your ideal woman?
A lot of jobs don't give you breaks.Because sometimes it;s not quiet from 9am to 6pm.Why? Just have a break whenever it's quiet.I prefer the more siouxsie sioux style and her music too.I don't like her nose.
This whole conversation was about students interrupting your lunchbreak.Most places don't shut for lunch now, even my pharmacist. It's not productive.Why not? Eating doesn't require much brainpower, might aswell get things done at the same time.
I do my own things, students need to learn discipline too. When we are open and when closed.
We don't shut for lunch open from 9-6 term time for labs.
Yes. I have a lunch break just like I have a break to have a shit. >> >>
Some of our classes are of 600 , we have to split them up throught the day.
There are two other technicians in the labs, and usually the lecturer and one or two demostrators sometimes more.That is not as interruptible as eating.
Do you let students ask for help while you take a dump.
They can learn to wait it''s part of their training for the real world. >> > Eevn if they only end up in a burger bar they might be open from 6am to midnight but staff are still allowed breaks
Most do, unless you have to take a job that doesn't or zero hour contracts.They tend to get abused. I know the woman who works as a secretary at the local police station. 12 hours, no break. If she made a complaint they'd probably arrest her.

We can typically turn on 48 computers all at once. Most are in banks of 12.Try actually plugging them in all at once. As in turning them on together with a power strip or three. The filter caps in the PSUs can trip the earth leakage breakers, because well those caps are supposed to conduct a bit to earth!
Bad design, to save money.
Why design something that trip breakers
How old are we talking? When me and my sister were at uni everyone got drunk regularly. I'm 46 and she's 41.They've probably snapped the conductors inside. Who knows what they get up to when drunk.I've never had a USB cable that refused to charge my phone.I don't charge things off my phoneline.Aluminium was only cheaper for a short time in the long distant past, which is why some phone cables are aluminium, which makes them shit for broadband.I have an expensive professional strip stolen from a network cabinet and the switch died on that. Ok I was running it at 4kW....This is because of extra contact resistance causing heat/burning, and
potentially (ha ha) poor grounding/earthing.
They are also of very variable quality and can degenerate (contacts wear
or become less tight) with use. Many cheap ones are extremely crappy to
start off with !
yes I've noticed that about some really cheap ones. I have a few where even the rocker switch
doesn;t always swith off the individual socket like it should, but I only use these ones for chargers
cerainly wouldn't put a heater, kettle or anyhting about about 1kw on it.
Wonder what made it expensive maybe the cable contained thick copper strands rather than some cheap £1 shop
that I heard use aluminium.
and shit for charging too.
Most charge their phones via a USB cable, I do.
I've had a few, it's the only ones the students leave in the lab, they rarley leave anything decent behind.
Few of our students are drunk, it's not like the olde days of univs.
1980s , since the mid 90s we have a lot of Muslim students and few of them drink,
it's also more expensive and students have to take out loans.
Accommodation is expensive too.
Plus there's lots of things they seem to prefer spending money on.
tugging through normal use shorted out. When I plugged it in the other day there was a big flash as the very thin wire evaporated. Oh well it charges batteries ok, I just need to put a wire and plug on it.I was told I had to run very thick cable for my 6kW car stereo. My friend fitted a huge capacitor in the boot of his car. I just added a second battery in the back.Happens in boats t a friend had this problem he couldn't start the engine, he thought he could save money by using old mains cable from the battery to the started motor.even thin copper isn't best for charging, the longer the cable the more shitty it usually is unless.Never come across a length prpblem apart from when I connected up my own solar panels. Running 12V from the garage roof to the house was annoying, as I would drop a couple of volts easily.
Which is why almost any cable as a lenght limit including mains and USB.
Different usage those capacitors are to support the high current drawn when the bass kicks in.
Same idea, it allows a huge current draw for a short time, saving you on an enormous cable. Mind you they probably wouldn't power a starter for long enough to get the engine fired up.
If you want to see cheap, do what I did and buy an 18650 battery charger for 99p including postage from China. The plug actually had PLASTIC pins, PAINTED to conduct! It worked though, until the exceedingly thin wire through a bit of
convince me protected the phone better. I guess he doesn't understand crumple zones. Well guess who's paying for the return postage.It's amazing the shit people try to sell on Ebay, I just bought a phone protective cover advertised as a full cover for both sides made of silicone (soft, absorbs shock). But no, one side was cheap hard plastic, which he just tried to
Wate money on expensive wire, just use the silver foil from kit-kat wrappers.
If it's good enough for junkies, instead of buying expensive bacofoil......
Then point it out to someone higher up, or the police.You need to go to a procurement meeting and point out they're buying from the wrong sources. They tend not to like it when you point out they're receiving back handers from the suppliers.I used Ebay all the time at the school, got everything about a third of the price of the "correct" suppliers. I was collecting a couple of grand a month from petty cash.
I rarely use ebay for this sort of reason, not worth my time pissing about with it. I thinbk this is why the college doesnt; allow us to use ebay
unless 'we' take responsibility.
They won't allow us to use petty cash, everything has to have some for of paper or perhaps PDF trail.
Well they try to stop it, but when you're boss is the one doing the fiddling.
The police aren't really interested unless it's really large scale.
Best to keep quiet about it few are interested it can take years to get anything done, then you find someone leaves
or gets promoted, or is encourage to take another job.
supply, buy a 12V 8A supply. A Chinese amp is about two normal amps. You can get 4A out of it, but when you tell them it can't do 8, you get it for free.I have loads of free stuff from China which is good enough for what I need, but not what they advertised, so they pay me 100% refund, and the postage costs too much to send it back so they just let me keep it. For example, if you want a 12V 4AWho cares if some stuff is shit, you just get your money back.
Some people don't or it takes too long .
I'd rather buy something I know that's going to do what I want.
Not worth the effort and I doubt that would happen if we bought 50, which was the last large purchases of 5Amp PSU'sYou buy a couple from 25 different sellers.
China but from a reputable source.
We can;t do that we have to go through a process with finance and get approvals and quotes for some things.
we bought 50 of these Bench Top Linear Power Supply, 0-30V 5A with Twin Outputs.
we're having problems getting raspberry Pi 4s at the moment.Problems getting them at all, or problems getting them at a reasonable price?
Problems getting them, they filter though 1 per customer from some suppliers.
Then get each member of staff or student to buy one each.
yuo can;t do that as it's open to fiddling and not very efficient.
have. So that's what happened.Or use Ebay, I can see 40 people selling those from £60 to £100. And more at a higher price.
we get them for £60 with a free PSU ,card reader USB lead SD card as a kit . we wanted 3 rapid do them for £62 when they are ins stock, the students said they wanted the pi 4 bit when we told the lecturer what the students wanted he said don't bother they can use pi 3s for what they are doing and I have 4 in my office they can
When they come in stock we'll buy a couple until then students have to learn what is available and in stock.
Huh?Most of the stuff we buy isn't cheaper on ebay anyway.Some stuff is, some stuff isn't. I don't understand some sellers, when you subtract what they must pay for postage and Ebay fees, they end up with 50p. So unless they're stealing the goods, that's not a profit.
could be for currency.
Money laundering .
If something is cheaper on ebay we have used it in the past we bought 100 RGB LEDs
cheap and easy to test if woiking the 10% or so they didn't you can just throw away.
Just bought 300 MES 10 bulb holder £1.79 each the suppliers on ebay were charging £4-£6.
We get university discounts from out suppliers works out about 10-20% free P&P and we know they'kk arrive in a couple of days at most.

A friend of mine said she kept feeling tiggly when in the shower.

using twin and earth and that the Live had shorted to the earth making the shower head live, and the flat wasn;t earthed.
She';s lucky she wasn't killed, if it had been earthed the fuse would have blown.
Any fuse or breaker would trip very quickly with an overload that big, way before the wire. You don't need ELCB for that.No, you are allowed to use flex for running a ring main for example.I doubt it or it wouldn't pass the regulations.
Some of it's due to how long it will last the type of pastic used for flex insulation persishes quicker than the less flexable used for twin and earth.
Different regulations for Different uses.
So your statement is meaningless. TWE does not have a higher current rating. Both types have any current rating.TWE also has a higher sustained current ratingBullshit. Both have varying ratings depending on how thick the conductors are, you buy what's appropriate.
Yep that's the idea.
Here is TWE being overloaded:and I think the TwE insulation is less likely to melt at the temerature that a flex might start to melt at.I doubt it. Try leaving the flex for your table lamp against a hot central heating radiator.
and what would happen then ?
And over how many years.
https://youtu.be/bBYHtBPbBJE?t=363
Notice he says it's rated to 70C, about the temperature of a central heating radiator, which flex is fine leaning against.
Yes when it's overrated I doubt flex would be any different.
Shown the importance of having a fuse and maybe a MCB or RCD would trip quicker as the insulation burns through and they conductors short to earth.
That's not what a ELCB is for. Think our a MCBs localised for each bench.
What annoys me is unfused wires, take for example the monumentally stupid design of a ring main. So if one side comes undone, everything continues to work, but the fuse is no longer suitable for the single wire left.
We used to have a brilliant system with the round pin ones, fuse in the box for every outlet.
No idea why they got rid of the round pins.
There's info about it it's a history thing just google it.

Seems to work for most people I didn;t think turning the steering wheel would stop a car moving I thought that was how you made it go
in a particular directionof choice.
Strange thatcars still have handbrakes if they are not needed.
I thought cars could be used for traveling around and even visiting places you don't live.
Been strange to see a car without a handbrake and there's a warning sticker saying not to be driven to places where you don't live or where there are steep hills.
I know F1 cars dont; have them but it;s not exactly a large market for such cars.
I've encountered more than that on driving lessons
Yep I am older than you.
in chingford mount with a bus lane on the leftThey're for learner drivers. I hill start with the footbrake.
there was no kerb, waiting for the lights and the large lorry trying to turn.
If handbrakes weren't useful they wouldn;t waste money having them.
doesn't mean it the best way though.
inches at a time in gear.I just use the gears or turn the wheels into the kerb. I did once park on a steep hill without turning the wheels to the kerb. A passerby shouted to me "your car is dancing!" It was trying to start the engine and jumping back a few
It wasn't broken, the footbrake was broken.If it's a town road with a kerb, then yes you can use the kerb like a chock.WTf do you mean "power" stopping. I'm talking about preventing movement when parked.Not what what are for? Gearboxes or stopping pins?It could go through something else. And sports one sometimes do, but usually not as it's hard to make one that can take that much power.Shorted motor? Or the same as an automatic petrol car, a bolt through the gearbox.
I wonder how Electric cars get around this, as I didn;t think they had gears in the same way.
why would an electric car have a gear box ?
That's not what they are for.
Hand brakes aren't for power stopping.
Yes that was what they are for but yuo seem to think they aren;t needed beacuse you can use steering of just not stoping on slopes is the answer
I would have fixed one of foot/handbrake.Youy don;t use the handbrake for an emergency stop.You do when the footbrake fails. I had a car for 6 months with zero footbrakes, I used gears and the handbrake to come to a stop.
Lucky they yuo had a handbrake in yuor world you say they aren;t needed so how would you have stopped the car ?
you said you had that situation for 6 months how long does it take to fix a handbrake ?
So you used the handbrake lucky had one.
Gears.Oh yes using stearing to the kerb of driving up steep hills to slow down.Why would I need to slow down when going uphill?
when approaching lights, changing to red when the bus stops.

They let him off because it was a BMW?
Only been in a speeding car twice once a cab at 3am. about 60 or a 30 road. The police stopped him, but I surprised when they just said oh it's a BMW and then said just don;t do it again and that was it.
That's what it sounded like they had trouble catching up catching up, must have been quite a fast acceleration
as it took them a while, he stopped apologised, said he was a cab and driving up home.
The road was pretty empty at that time. He wasn't a boy racer I think they could tell.
That's not what happened when I was going a tonne on the motorway and a BMW overtook me about 130.
Thought I might have to walk a mile+ home.The police should have had to give you a lift.
Another time in cornwall which was more scary as it was a single road with hedges on either sideI dare you to get a lift off me, I'll scare you shitless. If the tyres don't squeal, you didn't go round the corner fast enough.
but he was a local so I guess he knew the chances of an oncoming vehicle was low.
But in london your lucky if you can get to 30MPH on most roads
Maybe you can do that where you live but around here it;s just not possible to much traffic.
That sounds fun with all the mud and scantily clad girls.I can be a childish arsehole too, but not with social shit like nightclubs.Yes, and those who never grew up. Which are you?Are you a teenager?Drove 10 miles to what you do. Or not do nightclubs that are for teenagers.You live in a city? Why?Or tan attempt to make yuor car difficult to be stolen or movedHandbrakes are very weak, that wouldn't stop anyone. You just put the car onto a tow truck anyway.
without the drivers or owners permission.
Little chance of getting a tow truck for such a thing near me, cars parked to close together.
Same reason most people do, can't really imagine living out in the sticks what do people do all day and night.
You mean for those that are to old to live.
No, do you think only teenages go to nightclubs.
Both depending how I feel.
I'm not ready for teh local retirement home, not even ready to book my place as you obviously are.
I prefer them to pubs, but never been tempted by festivals like Glastonbury (outdoor that is)
I'm not a fan of rain mud etc.. or the toilets or camping.
The last one I went to was a couple of weeks ago .What a load of shite, just people yelling and singing without a tune.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slvwi-4qkG4
they used one of my videos I took at 1:47
I din;t like most of it. arrived about 9pm and left just before 2am. The band I filmed were the last on it that room there were 3 separate areas yuo could wander round. The bands stopped at 11pm and then it was club night.
The things you listed are the last thing I enjoy doing.Have a nice cup of tea and an iced bun and share a bag or werthers originals.I'm the exact opposite of that.
Wow what a life.
Not sure what that means
I can do both but teh clubs are a good place to meet people and catch up with friends.
I've been going to the gig one since 1988 used to go every saturday until about 2001
when the council made them have a drink licence before then you could take your own drink in,
was a cheap night especially as my flatmate worked in the cloakroom so I got free entry most weeks.
closed at 7:30am sunday morning.
a normal photo printer and a 3D printer before then end of the summer.I thought about a 3D printer, but realised I wouldn't use it that much. Just now and then to make a replacement part for something. If I really need that, people on Ebay will do it for you for a tenner.
I feel I need a new toy or two , I can use the one at work but they aren't always available for private jobs.
Royal Mail collect for 60p now.And don't you ever sell anything?
Rarely and if I do it's mostly to friends , never found it worth the effort of making a decent post and taking things to the PO.
I still have to be home though.
Yes but if they don't say what day or time.One left a package the other day, he knocked then placed it on the doorstep. Ok, my car was in the driveway, but is that a guarantee I'm in?Most thefts seems to be amazon boxes left outsideWhy do Amazon do that? Hermes do too,
Because the people aren't in seems a reasonable reason.
That is annoying I take a day off or have it delivered to work.
Most do, if they use a good carrier.
even B&Q tell yuo whether they'll arrive am or PM then phone/txt 30mins before delivery.
Amazon I track.
Have you thought about a security box and padlock.There is a shed and CCTV. If the idiots won't put it in the shed, I doubt they'd put it in a box.
Chav.And why the fuck can't they use the doorbell?! A banging noise could be anything.
I haven't got a doorbell.
Why do I need a doorbell I can hear them knock.
I'm waiting for a B&Q delivery now, some decking boards at home.I get that sort of stuff in my car. Came home with several 5 metres joists on the roof once. And another time an entire large flatpacked shed. Probably illegal to do that, it was substantially larger than the car.
I don't have or need a car.
I don't think it's any one courier in particular, it just depends on the driver.I have a shed with CCTV. And a notice saying to put things in it. Half of them can't be arsed. They want to do their round as fast as possible.I found a parcel at my front door that had been in the rain for hours. >> >> >why not make a box leave it with an unlocked padlock and tell anyone to leave the pacels in and lock it.
Seems a simple solution to me.
That's bad I've not had any problems with amazon but then again don;t have much delivered to home unless it's a large thing.
Hermes are pretty bad from what I've heard.
I prefer the natural style.So not needed nowadays.That's why they did it in Egypt.Religious claptrap.Stealing VW badges used to be the in thing.
No, because they never look 3D like hairs.Never seen that.Easy to spot, they're too thick to dye their eyebrows.[titter] So what bright things have you done in your life?Seems a newspaper boy was prosecuted for claiming he couldn't go
over
16mph on his bicycle!
Haha! :-D
I've done 39mph on my mountain bike, but this was using God's force,
gravity.
OY! I saw that! You capitalised god! You edited MY sentence!
Just checking to see if you are paying attention to detail! :-D
I wasn't, but my subconscious notices everything.
You are nearly as bright as me!
and was she a natural blonde or fake blonde
Not all, some dye
some shave and use eyebrow pencil.Drawn on eyebrows look ridiculous.
Note when it;s done with style.
They aren't meant to, I'm thinking egyptian style
what has religion got to do with it ?
So, it;s not done today for that reason.
People men and women used to wear makeup and perfumes so they couldn't smell
the stench of the cities or see the sores on their person.
I do prefer certain styles , I guess everyone does.
Very rare most wear makup, I don;t like tans even natural tans, I don't like the orange look either.
How about the bedroom?Intelligence does not change someone's looks. Anyway she has a fucking good voice.Because she's an idiot.She'd look amazing without any of that.I prefer someone who's naturally good looking without having to add it.I've know some to wear coloured cotactThose can be nice. Still don't look quite right though.
lenes, one in particular has green cats eye contacts.
Avoiding looking like a fake would be a desire surely?They look fucking stupid. It's like painting your car a different colour and forgetting one door.
depends on the effect you want I guess.
Fake what exactly, I prefer the more creative types when it comes to looks.
Mmmmm Miley Cyrus!
She wears quite a bit of makeup and has lots of tattoes that's hardly natrual.
So why does she do it.
So you find iodiots attractive.
I'm not saying I'd kick her out of my kitchen ;-)
first things first ;-)
Just not my preferred type.Who is your ideal woman?
I don;t really have one in particular, that's the thing about clubs.

The road was pretty empty at that time. He wasn't a boy racer I think they could tell.
Didn't they notice he was a cab? The sign on the roof is as giveaway.
That's not what happened when I was going a tonne on the motorway and a BMW overtook me about 130.
Thought I might have to walk a mile+ home.The police should have had to give you a lift.
Another time in cornwall which was more scary as it was a single road with hedges on either sideI dare you to get a lift off me, I'll scare you shitless. If the tyres don't squeal, you didn't go round the corner fast enough.
but he was a local so I guess he knew the chances of an oncoming vehicle was low.
But in london your lucky if you can get to 30MPH on most roads
Maybe you can do that where you live but around here it;s just not possible to much traffic.Go round them.
I once got a long distance bus into London. It was amazing how fast he went. Maybe everyone got out of the way.Into London is not exactly London.
That sounds fun with all the mud and scantily clad girls.I can be a childish arsehole too, but not with social shit like nightclubs.Yes, and those who never grew up. Which are you?Are you a teenager?Drove 10 miles to what you do. Or not do nightclubs that are for teenagers.You live in a city? Why?Or tan attempt to make yuor car difficult to be stolen or movedHandbrakes are very weak, that wouldn't stop anyone. You just put the car onto a tow truck anyway.
without the drivers or owners permission.
Little chance of getting a tow truck for such a thing near me, cars parked to close together.
Same reason most people do, can't really imagine living out in the sticks what do people do all day and night.
You mean for those that are to old to live.
No, do you think only teenages go to nightclubs.
Both depending how I feel.
I'm not ready for teh local retirement home, not even ready to book my place as you obviously are.
I prefer them to pubs, but never been tempted by festivals like Glastonbury (outdoor that is)
I'm not a fan of rain mud etc.. or the toilets or camping.A sissy then.
Not worth the effort and I doubt that would happen if we bought 50, which was the last large purchases of 5Amp PSU'sYou buy a couple from 25 different sellers.
China but from a reputable source.
We can;t do that we have to go through a process with finance and get approvals and quotes for some things.So did I, until I kicked up a fuss and quoted several instances where I could save up to two thirds on the price.
we bought 50 of these Bench Top Linear Power Supply, 0-30V 5A with Twin Outputs.These? Did you drop a link?
we're having problems getting raspberry Pi 4s at the moment.Problems getting them at all, or problems getting them at a reasonable price?
Problems getting them, they filter though 1 per customer from some suppliers.
Then get each member of staff or student to buy one each.
yuo can;t do that as it's open to fiddling and not very efficient.If it's the only way to get them....
can have. So that's what happened.Or use Ebay, I can see 40 people selling those from £60 to £100. And more at a higher price.
we get them for £60 with a free PSU ,card reader USB lead SD card as a kit .
we wanted 3 rapid do them for £62 when they are ins stock, the students said they wanted the pi 4 bit when we told the lecturer what the students wanted he said don't bother they can use pi 3s for what they are doing and I have 4 in my office they
When they come in stock we'll buy a couple until then students have to learn what is available and in stock.The students should be learning to shop around.
Huh?Most of the stuff we buy isn't cheaper on ebay anyway.Some stuff is, some stuff isn't. I don't understand some sellers, when you subtract what they must pay for postage and Ebay fees, they end up with 50p. So unless they're stealing the goods, that's not a profit.
could be for currency.
Money laundering .I don't know how that works.
If something is cheaper on ebay we have used it in the past we bought 100 RGB LEDsAh so you can use Ebay. You were objecting to it earlier.
cheap and easy to test if woiking the 10% or so they didn't you can just throw away.
Just bought 300 MES 10 bulb holder £1.79 each the suppliers on ebay were charging £4-£6.I used to get projector bulbs for less than what another supplier claimed was the manufacturer's price. I guess the company we used was getting a subsidy.
We get university discounts from out suppliers works out about 10-20% free P&P and we know they'kk arrive in a couple of days at most.
His policies are wonderful.But he's a fat fuck.
and that's being polite about him
He doesn't have any other than to make himself rich.He's far right, which I like.
I wonder if he'll be able to run for office next year or will he end up on prison.Americans always try to get their politicians in prison. They vote someone in then get upset about it, it's pathetic.
How can anyone lose money running a casino .
An airline that doesn;t fly, and as for trump university.

He was lucky he was found to be intelligent before he became ill.He didn't live as good a life as you think. His relatives didn't take care of him.
I was thinking more of people going along corridors.https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17149942/anti-vax-kickboxing-champ-frederic-sinistra-dead-covid/
Steroids perhaps?
But it's not just the deaths it's the overall effect.The overall effect is stupid governments imposing lockdowns and fucking everything up.
I've notice that I haven't even had a cold of any sort since wearing a mask and hand sanatising.I avoided colds very easily. See when you go through a double door? Always use the one the person in front didn't.
I usually get at least 3 a year and one thatv I need to take time off from work.

my office is at about 1:35
and with 600 students in the lab how do you tell which handle a particual students used ?
and the 100s of leads and equipment in the lab, the knobs buttons etc...
Yes and cafe's bar, lectures, .I was thinking of the corridors. In busy areas you're fucked.
You use one at home or in a gym.Also ice baths prevent colds.
We don't have them in the lab, or on public transport.
Why did they close the gyms then oh yeah all that putting and blowing .They closed stuff because they're stupid.
I had to stop a couple of students doing a project where they were measuring heart rates and stuff jumping aboutWhat was your objection?
sharing heart rate sensors pulse sensors . If they want to do that go outside not in a lab.
The last one I went to was a couple of weeks ago .What a load of shite, just people yelling and singing without a tune.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slvwi-4qkG4
they used one of my videos I took at 1:47
I din;t like most of it. arrived about 9pm and left just before 2am. The band I filmed were the last on it that room there were 3 separate areas yuo could wander round. The bands stopped at 11pm and then it was club night.Looked like Karaoke to me.
The things you listed are the last thing I enjoy doing.Have a nice cup of tea and an iced bun and share a bag or werthers originals.I'm the exact opposite of that.
Wow what a life.
Not sure what that means
I can do both but teh clubs are a good place to meet people and catch up with friends.I went to a race where they had drinks and didn't allow your own. We rolled loads of bottles under the edge of the tent earlier on.
I've been going to the gig one since 1988 used to go every saturday until about 2001
when the council made them have a drink licence before then you could take your own drink in,
was a cheap night especially as my flatmate worked in the cloakroom so I got free entry most weeks.
closed at 7:30am sunday morning.
a normal photo printer and a 3D printer before then end of the summer. >> I thought about a 3D printer, but realised I wouldn't use it that much. Just now and then to make a replacement part for something. If I really need that, people on Ebay will do it for you for a tenner.
I feel I need a new toy or two , I can use the one at work but they aren't always available for private jobs.FFS you work there you should have perks.
Royal Mail collect for 60p now.And don't you ever sell anything?
Rarely and if I do it's mostly to friends , never found it worth the effort of making a decent post and taking things to the PO.
I still have to be home though.No, you leave it somewhere and note that on the order.
Yes but if they don't say what day or time.One left a package the other day, he knocked then placed it on the doorstep. Ok, my car was in the driveway, but is that a guarantee I'm in?Most thefts seems to be amazon boxes left outsideWhy do Amazon do that? Hermes do too,
Because the people aren't in seems a reasonable reason.
That is annoying I take a day off or have it delivered to work.
Most do, if they use a good carrier.You can't always tell what courier will be used.
even B&Q tell yuo whether they'll arrive am or PM then phone/txt 30mins before delivery.
Amazon I track.
I bought something from Dabs Direct 20 years ago and they used the now bankrupt Amtrak. They left a card at my house while I was at work, and the number to phone was busy every time I tried. Then I got another card, and another, then they said I had togo to the depot, 30 miles away. I did and couldn't find it. So I told Dabs to use a better courier or I'd change supplier.
Have you thought about a security box and padlock.There is a shed and CCTV. If the idiots won't put it in the shed, I doubt they'd put it in a box.
Chav.And why the fuck can't they use the doorbell?! A banging noise could be anything.
I haven't got a doorbell.
Why do I need a doorbell I can hear them knock.A knocking noise can be anything. Also consider a postman knocking on 500 doors a day and the state of his knuckles.
I'm free of worry of insurance, taxes and everything else that comes with a car.I'm waiting for a B&Q delivery now, some decking boards at home.I get that sort of stuff in my car. Came home with several 5 metres joists on the roof once. And another time an entire large flatpacked shed. Probably illegal to do that, it was substantially larger than the car.
I don't have or need a car.You don't know the freedom you're missing.
I do prefer certain styles , I guess everyone does.I prefer the natural style.
Very rare most wear makup, I don;t like tans even natural tans, I don't like the orange look either.I hate no tan - looks sickly and ill.
I'm not saying I'd kick her out of my kitchen ;-)How about the bedroom?
first things first ;-)Indeed, can't do that on an empty stomach.
Just not my preferred type.Who is your ideal woman?
I don;t really have one in particular, that's the thing about clubs.You must have some kind of preference.

I quite like that look.
off anyone.You must have some kind of preference.Just not my preferred type.Who is your ideal woman?
I don;t really have one in particular, that's the thing about clubs.
well yes but not sure how to describe it.
Alternative, Goth, cyber, punk,
I have a few pictures of ex girl friends but only one that is online as she asked me to take photos of her band
as she played bass.
Another well her sister is shown in a video they looked similar but the one I was with had red hair and the one in the yuotube video is a blonde both Glaswegian anyone from outside of london is foreign to me ;-)
I seem to attract foreign girls , even went to Sweden once to visit one.
One in particular , I was outside a pub as it was crowded and hot in there a girl came up to me and stated chatting to me
said she was half German, half African but came from outer space.
she asked me what I was drinking I said snakebite and black, she asked me if I wanted go to a recording studio with her.
I asked will there be any drink there, she said yes of course, I said I should be meeting my girl friend at midnight
at a club, she said she's going there too and she'd pay for the cab there and back . So I agreed, when we got there
the roundhouse chalk farm, she introduced me to the staff as her german cousin as they didn't like strangers visiting.
She disappeared for about 10mins and came back and handed me a carton of F*&^%$ orange juice, I was well gutted.
Spent about 30mins in the studio leaving me with the orange juice !
Then she phoned her ~3 year old (I think) daughter in germany then we left for the club about 12:15 after she kept the black cab waiting for 20mins then insisted he played a couple of her tracks she has with her.
She asked me which version I preferred of the lords prayer, the german or english version I said the german as I didn;t know what the words were. Never went out with her as such she seemed to love herself more than anyone else could and that puts me
But she seemed a fun person to be around quite nice in an extrovert way. I don't think she fancied me but she did say I had beautiful eyes, maybe she likes the bloodshot look who knows.
Never saw her after we went our separate ways in the club, well not until 4 years later when my friends band were supporting her I think at the rainbow in camden .
Apart from the orange juice I quite enjoyed the experience.

I only use coke as a mixer if drinking JD.

And absolutely never used overpriced Amazon. That's just Ebay with less choices and more cost.
If it's the only way to get them....we're having problems getting raspberry Pi 4s at the moment.Problems getting them at all, or problems getting them at a reasonable price?
Problems getting them, they filter though 1 per customer from some suppliers.
Then get each member of staff or student to buy one each.
yuo can;t do that as it's open to fiddling and not very efficient.
If they really need them but they don't normally need the latest tech for an undergrad project even masters and MSc don't need them for a project.That sounds like an interesting project! What was he aiming to do?
One student asked us to buy a 5KV pulse generator and some high octane fuel we sent him back to his supervisor
for funding to get a research grant , never heard from him again.
I don't know how that works.Huh?Most of the stuff we buy isn't cheaper on ebay anyway.Some stuff is, some stuff isn't. I don't understand some sellers, when you subtract what they must pay for postage and Ebay fees, they end up with 50p. So unless they're stealing the goods, that's not a profit.
could be for currency.
Money laundering .
Me neither. But I think when you send them the money they then order from a supplier in their currencyWhich must mean the conversion rate available in banks is wrong.
so they get £ and spend rupees or yen or whatever.
And it's hardly laundering, I thought that was someone disposing of some stolen money by buying and selling things with it.
If something is cheaper on ebay we have used it in the past we bought 100 RGB LEDsAh so you can use Ebay. You were objecting to it earlier.
cheap and easy to test if woiking the 10% or so they didn't you can just throw away.
The college doesn't like it especially for high value items .Finance departments are a waste of fucking space. You're the one that knows what you need and where the best place to get it is, not them.
We're allowed about £2k per month and anything over £500 has to be ordered by finance
on an account which I think they pay 1-3 months later. Most ebayers want the money up front I don't blame them.
He's far right, which I like.His policies are wonderful.But he's a fat fuck.
and that's being polite about him
He doesn't have any other than to make himself rich.
He's a con artist.Don't care, I'm fed up of left wingers. I see trader4 in alt.home.repair is now moaning about Biden after he used to moan about Trump....
I wonder if he'll be able to run for office next year or will he end up on prison.Americans always try to get their politicians in prison. They vote someone in then get upset about it, it's pathetic.
How can anyone lose money running a casino .
An airline that doesn;t fly, and as for trump university.
Then they vote them out .That doesn't seem enough for the childish suing culture.
Those people need to be removed from the gene pool.Not often. And you never know when someone has a hidden defect.Strange he needed so many doctors and drugs to cure him from a fake disease.It doesn't kill fit people.
It can and has .
Often enough
He didn't live as good a life as you think. His relatives didn't take care of him.That's hardly the norm.How come this guy, who has a heart condition, survived it twice?

He was lucky he was found to be intelligent before he became ill.
It shouldn't be up to them to look after them that's going back 100s of years .So you wouldn't look after your ill relative?
You use one at home or in a gym.Also ice baths prevent colds.
We don't have them in the lab, or on public transport.
Why did they close the gyms then oh yeah all that putting and blowing . >> They closed stuff because they're stupid.
gyms are crowded places .And nobody was forcing anyone to go.
I had to stop a couple of students doing a project where they were measuring heart rates and stuff jumping aboutWhat was your objection?
sharing heart rate sensors pulse sensors . If they want to do that go outside not in a lab.
Spearding infection one came in coughing and splutters didn't even have a mask on, the next day he asked for his stuff in the project cupboard to be posted to him as he'd tested positive. He lives opposite the college in the student accommodation.So what? It's just a bad cold.
Apparent;y the place was riddled with positive cases.

Not sure what that means
I can do both but teh clubs are a good place to meet people and catch up with friends.
I've been going to the gig one since 1988 used to go every saturday until about 2001
when the council made them have a drink licence before then you could take your own drink in,
was a cheap night especially as my flatmate worked in the cloakroom so I got free entry most weeks.
closed at 7:30am sunday morning.
They frisk you now at the club check bags, I used to go in with 1/2 bottle of whisky and a bottle of cocktail I mixed.You put the alcohol into bottles of lemonade silly. What are they going to do, sip everyone's drink?
Some went in with carrier bags of 8 or more cans. I can;t drink a lot of liquid tend to feel sick to quick.
I've learnt to pass myself with whisky .
No, you leave it somewhere and note that on the order.Royal Mail collect for 60p now.And don't you ever sell anything?
Rarely and if I do it's mostly to friends , never found it worth the effort of making a decent post and taking things to the PO.
I still have to be home though.
I haven;t anything that's worth the effort to sell.Sounds like a bunch of old junk, just list the whole lot and shove it on freecycle.
I have a Mac G4 tower I bought in ~1999, they are going on ebay for £30-50 not worth the effort.
Know anyone that wants to buy a 4x CD RW SCSI, a SCSI flatbed scanner , a G3 tower , Macplus, mac SE/30, LC475. 2 zip drives. I can;t be bothered making sure they all work , then taking photos etc...
to go to the depot, 30 miles away. I did and couldn't find it. So I told Dabs to use a better courier or I'd change supplier.I bought something from Dabs Direct 20 years ago and they used the now bankrupt Amtrak. They left a card at my house while I was at work, and the number to phone was busy every time I tried. Then I got another card, and another, then they said I had
Haven't used dabs in ages (this millennium) I used to buy Apple stuff from them and most computing stuff.It was my only source of computing stuff 20 years ago.
Those are costs, the worry is managing to find public transport.I'm free of worry of insurance, taxes and everything else that comes with a car.You don't know the freedom you're missing.I'm waiting for a B&Q delivery now, some decking boards at home.I get that sort of stuff in my car. Came home with several 5 metres joists on the roof once. And another time an entire large flatpacked shed. Probably illegal to do that, it was substantially larger than the car.
I don't have or need a car.
When I go to a club as long as I can walk I can hail a cab or book one. The night bus is every 15mins too.
I tried driving hated it well in london anyway.I find it fun.
I hate no tan - looks sickly and ill.I do prefer certain styles , I guess everyone does.I prefer the natural style.
Very rare most wear makup, I don;t like tans even natural tans, I don't like the orange look either.
I quite like that look.Do you also like vampires?
You must have some kind of preference.Just not my preferred type.Who is your ideal woman?
I don;t really have one in particular, that's the thing about clubs.
well yes but not sure how to describe it.
Alternative, Goth, cyber, punk,
I have a few pictures of ex girl friends but only one that is online as she asked me to take photos of her band
as she played bass.
Another well her sister is shown in a video they looked similar but the one I was with had red hair and the one in the yuotube video is a blonde both Glaswegian anyone from outside of london is foreign to me ;-)
I seem to attract foreign girls , even went to Sweden once to visit one.
One in particular , I was outside a pub as it was crowded and hot in there a girl came up to me and stated chatting to me
said she was half German, half African but came from outer space.
she asked me what I was drinking I said snakebite and black, she asked me if I wanted go to a recording studio with her.
I asked will there be any drink there, she said yes of course, I said I should be meeting my girl friend at midnight
at a club, she said she's going there too and she'd pay for the cab there and back . So I agreed, when we got there
the roundhouse chalk farm, she introduced me to the staff as her german cousin as they didn't like strangers visiting.
She disappeared for about 10mins and came back and handed me a carton of F*&^%$ orange juice, I was well gutted.
Spent about 30mins in the studio leaving me with the orange juice !
Then she phoned her ~3 year old (I think) daughter in germany then we left for the club about 12:15 after she kept the black cab waiting for 20mins then insisted he played a couple of her tracks she has with her.
She asked me which version I preferred of the lords prayer, the german or english version I said the german as I didn;t know what the words were.
Never went out with her as such she seemed to love herself more than anyone else could and that puts me off anyone.
But she seemed a fun person to be around quite nice in an extrovert way. I don't think she fancied me but she did say I had beautiful eyes, maybe she likes the bloodshot look who knows.
Never saw her after we went our separate ways in the club, well not until 4 years later when my friends band were supporting her I think at the rainbow in camden .
Apart from the orange juice I quite enjoyed the experience.You seem to have some odd adventures.

That's what it sounded like they had trouble catching up catching up, must have been quite a fast acceleration
as it took them a while, he stopped apologised, said he was a cab and driving up home.
The road was pretty empty at that time. He wasn't a boy racer I think they could tell.
Didn't see any money handed over, and I'm guessing he was a licensed cab. >> Probably a pre-arranged agreement.
Doubt that we got the cab from angel islinton to walthamstow .
They all say taxi on them though.Didn't they notice he was a cab? The sign on the roof is as giveaway.
No it;'s wasn't a black cab as such but it was black no idea of the model though.
No that don't not the ones yuo book from cab offices.
Yes, just avoid the congested bits and the congested times.Go round them.That's not what happened when I was going a tonne on the motorway and a BMW overtook me about 130.
Thought I might have to walk a mile+ home.The police should have had to give you a lift.
Another time in cornwall which was more scary as it was a single road with hedges on either sideI dare you to get a lift off me, I'll scare you shitless. If the tyres don't squeal, you didn't go round the corner fast enough.
but he was a local so I guess he knew the chances of an oncoming vehicle was low.
But in london your lucky if you can get to 30MPH on most roads
Maybe you can do that where you live but around here it;s just not possible to much traffic.
No where to go after that. Yet another car in front, maybe you've never driven in london.
There's this thing called rush hour that states about 7am ends about 10am starts again about 4pm and ends about 7pm.
Bus lanes are the stupidest idea ever, half the time it's empty tarmac. Best to buy an old taxi, then you can use the bus lane.I once got a long distance bus into London. It was amazing how fast he went. Maybe everyone got out of the way.Into London is not exactly London.
I was on a bus on mile end road and heard this loud car noise to was 3 Lamborghini think it they were aventors, a white yellow and a blue one revving in the queue of traffic the bus just went past them in it's bus lane.
Hardly anywhere to park in Mile end most places are about £10 a day to park. The college car park is mostly filled with contractors doing building work. You have to get there before 6am to get a parking spot.

One student asked us to buy a 5KV pulse generator and some high octane fuel we sent him back to his supervisor
for funding to get a research grant , never heard from him again.
Some sort of fast propulsion drive for probes to other planets he claimed it was faster than anything NASA had, he wanted to prove it. Not sure we could do that in a lab.
Can you image the problems using a 5KV pulse generator to ignite high octane fuel :-0
I'm guessing he didn't account for the weight of fuel needed just to get it into orbit.
Trouble with some academics they just say go to the teaching labs borrow what you can from them and buy the rest from your project fund, which is normally £100 max, anything else needs to eb paid for by a research grant.
Another student wanted some resistors and an LED that worked at 5KV as he was rotating a magnet in a magnetic field, he wanted to stick a probe in close to the magnet rotating at 30K RPM of something
he estimated he'd get a few KVs from a coil placed in the field so wanted to touch it with an LED.
Again we sent him back to his supervisor to approve any purchases and to add the items to the on-line order form we provide, but he never found a supplier for either a LED or resistor with a 5KV rating.
He asked me what would happen if he used our standard 1/4w resistors.
I said they'd just go open circuit with a big flash and I wouldn't want to be holding a stick with one on.

as she played bass.

forgot the links (yet again) she;s not very well know in the UK but was in europe .
I think she has quite a sexy speaking voice, and she was quite flirty when she talks which I like.
Here's the track and she looked similar to the CD cover when I met her. German version

Apart from the orange juice I quite enjoyed the experience.You seem to have some odd adventures.
I guess so , I'm not really interested in mainstream stuff like sports, never been to a football match.

That's what it sounded like they had trouble catching up catching up, must have been quite a fast acceleration
as it took them a while, he stopped apologised, said he was a cab and driving up home.
The road was pretty empty at that time. He wasn't a boy racer I think they could tell.
Didn't see any money handed over, and I'm guessing he was a licensed cab.
Doubt that we got the cab from angel islinton to walthamstow .I mean pre-arranged between the cab driver and the police.
They all say taxi on them though.Didn't they notice he was a cab? The sign on the roof is as giveaway. >> >No it;'s wasn't a black cab as such but it was black no idea of the model though.
No that don't not the ones yuo book from cab offices.Strange, my neighbour's son is private hire only (to avoid some fees or other to be allowed to use taxi ranks), but he still has a taxi sign on the top.
Yes, just avoid the congested bits and the congested times.Go round them.That's not what happened when I was going a tonne on the motorway and a BMW overtook me about 130.
Thought I might have to walk a mile+ home.The police should have had to give you a lift.
Another time in cornwall which was more scary as it was a single road with hedges on either sideI dare you to get a lift off me, I'll scare you shitless. If the tyres don't squeal, you didn't go round the corner fast enough.
but he was a local so I guess he knew the chances of an oncoming vehicle was low.
But in london your lucky if you can get to 30MPH on most roads
Maybe you can do that where you live but around here it;s just not possible to much traffic.
No where to go after that. Yet another car in front, maybe you've never driven in london.
There's this thing called rush hour that states about 7am ends about 10am starts again about 4pm and ends about 7pm.Then don't travel then or go elsewhere.
Bus lanes are the stupidest idea ever, half the time it's empty tarmac. Best to buy an old taxi, then you can use the bus lane.I once got a long distance bus into London. It was amazing how fast he went. Maybe everyone got out of the way.Into London is not exactly London.
I was on a bus on mile end road and heard this loud car noise to was 3 Lamborghini think it they were aventors, a white yellow and a blue one revving in the queue of traffic the bus just went past them in it's bus lane.
Hardly anywhere to park in Mile end most places are about £10 a day to park.Move house.
The college car park is mostly filled with contractors doing building work.
You have to get there before 6am to get a parking spot.
Perhaps your finance department wasn't so corrupt. Universities are more privatised (therefore accountable) than schools.
Occasionally it's cheaper elsewhere, but I always start with Ebay, and if the price looks too much I have a search elsewhere. And absolutely never used overpriced Amazon. That's just Ebay with less choices and more cost.we bought 50 of these Bench Top Linear Power Supply, 0-30V 5A with Twin Outputs.These? Did you drop a link?
was from onecall but the site was down for maintenance, seemed more expensive on ebay when we looked and only had a couple and weighing about 5-6KG each P&P was expensive .
That's not my experience , the dd thing is cheaper on ebay but not by much.Every single thing, I did some random tests to check. Just think of a few things, find them on both. Ebay is always a lot less.
And I considered once selling things on Amazon (when I made custom built gaming PCs), the Amazon fees would have been DOUBLE Ebay. There's no wonder the end product costs more.
That sounds like an interesting project! What was he aiming to do?we're having problems getting raspberry Pi 4s at the moment. >> >> >> >> Problems getting them at all, or problems getting them at a reasonable price?
Problems getting them, they filter though 1 per customer from some suppliers.
Then get each member of staff or student to buy one each.
yuo can;t do that as it's open to fiddling and not very efficient. >> >> If it's the only way to get them....
If they really need them but they don't normally need the latest tech for an undergrad project even masters and MSc don't need them for a project.
One student asked us to buy a 5KV pulse generator and some high octane fuel we sent him back to his supervisor
for funding to get a research grant , never heard from him again.
Some sort of fast propulsion drive for probes to other planets he claimed it was faster than anything NASA had, he wanted to prove it. Not sure we could do that in a lab.I assume you have some outdoor areas?
Can you image the problems using a 5KV pulse generator to ignite high octane fuel :-0
I'm guessing he didn't account for the weight of fuel needed just to get it into orbit.LEDs at 5kV? WTF? There must have been things he could have added to that circuit to take the voltage away.
Trouble with some academics they just say go to the teaching labs borrow what you can from them and buy the rest from your project fund, which is normally £100 max, anything else needs to eb paid for by a research grant.
Another student wanted some resistors and an LED that worked at 5KV as he was rotating a magnet in a magnetic field, he wanted to stick a probe in close to the magnet rotating at 30K RPM of something
he estimated he'd get a few KVs from a coil placed in the field so wanted to touch it with an LED.
Again we sent him back to his supervisor to approve any purchases and to add the items to the on-line order form we provide, but he never found a supplier for either a LED or resistor with a 5KV rating.
Most of their dealing is with hotels and accommodation for academics traveling abroad for conferences.He asked me what would happen if he used our standard 1/4w resistors.ROFL!
I said they'd just go open circuit with a big flash and I wouldn't want to be holding a stick with one on.
And it's hardly laundering, I thought that was someone disposing of some stolen money by buying and selling things with it.
Finance departments are a waste of fucking space. You're the one that knows what you need and where the best place to get it is, not them.If something is cheaper on ebay we have used it in the past we bought 100 RGB LEDsAh so you can use Ebay. You were objecting to it earlier.
cheap and easy to test if woiking the 10% or so they didn't you can just throw away.
The college doesn't like it especially for high value items .
We're allowed about £2k per month and anything over £500 has to be ordered by finance
on an account which I think they pay 1-3 months later. Most ebayers want the money up front I don't blame them.
They have all the account codes for budgets for each area and grants.But they don't have the knowledge of where to get things.
Don't care, I'm fed up of left wingers. I see trader4 in alt.home.repair is now moaning about Biden after he used to moan about Trump....He's far right, which I like.His policies are wonderful.But he's a fat fuck.
and that's being polite about him
He doesn't have any other than to make himself rich.
He's a con artist.
It's easy to moan , people get pissed of when they can;t have what they think they should have.Probably because all governments are criminal.
It shouldn't be up to them to look after them that's going back 100s of years .So you wouldn't look after your ill relative?
Look after is one thing, I haven;t the skills to do liver transplants, heart ops or even personal care.Not asking you to do a transplant, just help them do everyday things.
Even lifting someone up to go on the toilet can do your back in and dropping them.
It's a bit more serious than that.Amazing how many got over it.

Not everyone does. That's why they are people on respirators in hospital
and if we in the lab are off sick even with a bad cold we'd have to close the lab.

Not really and you'd need people there in case of any accidents and to take responsibility
something like that needs a serious risk assessment.
After the last incident a couple of years ago when someone was working after 6pm flushed some chemicals down the sink and there was an explosion took out quite a few windows and wreck the room the police turned up with the bomb squad before anyonereally knew what happened.
Lots of questions on why the student wasn't being supervised, he got quite badly burnt from what I heard.

OK, here's a couple of things I'm looking to buy.
4 of these "Make: Electronics, 3e: Learning by Discovery: A Hands-On Primer for the New Electronics Enthusiast."
If supervisor likes them as they have in previous years will be ordering 100-200 depending on how many students sign up for the course in september.
I need to make up better leads for the DMMs, the path of least hassle for me is to buy sets of these :-
Sealey Jumper Test Lead Set 5 Pairs (or similar) cut in half so 20 per pack
and add a 4mm stackable plug.
I'll try one pack for now work out how long it'll take me and if it's cheaper than buying the pre-made 4mm to Croc clip leads we had in the past
but the croc clips were too large and bulking for small devices so I replaced them with mini shrouded croc clips.
probbaly make up at least 50 pairs if noit more , hopefully we'll get a work experience person to do them :-)
See what prices you can get them for ....

was from onecall but the site was down for maintenance, seemed more expensive on ebay when we looked and only had a couple and weighing about 5-6KG each P&P was expensive .
That's not my experience , the dd thing is cheaper on ebay but not by much.
I'll let you know the next thing(s) we are looking for.If it's something specialist you might find it's cheaper on CPC etc, but Ebay is always less than Amazon. It's because the seller fees are much higher (double!) on Amazon.
Some sort of fast propulsion drive for probes to other planets he claimed it was faster than anything NASA had, he wanted to prove it. Not sure we could do that in a lab.I assume you have some outdoor areas?
Can you image the problems using a 5KV pulse generator to ignite high octane fuel :-0
Not really and you'd need people there in case of any accidents and to take responsibilityGet to fuck. Why can't people take responsibility for themselves? This isn't fucking America. We're better than that.
something like that needs a serious risk assessment.
really knew what happened.After the last incident a couple of years ago when someone was working after 6pm flushed some chemicals down the sink and there was an explosion took out quite a few windows and wreck the room the police turned up with the bomb squad before anyone
Lots of questions on why the student wasn't being supervised, he got quite badly burnt from what I heard.Which is entirely the student's fault and nobody is to blame but him. He's not a child.

How, not much room down my trousers for a bottle.
Places I go to are outdoors, easy to shove something somewhere.

If teh club night runs after midnigh then you even have to have photo ID.

20 years.That's good but how effienct is the old kit for number crunching, is it really worth the cost of the electricity.It heats the house anyway.

as it'd take them too long to erase discs, finding pucka sotfware and get them working.
No problem for me, even the night bus is every 15mins, 30-45 mins from the club,Doesn't the bus driver refuse to let you on when you keep falling over?
don;t have to worry about drinking to much either.
Which I don't. Getting out in the iopen air sort of sobers me up enough to be able to walk the few 100 metres to teh bus stop.I'm very good at being drunk. I can be 5 times over the legal limit and the police don't even notice. Once I was completely stoned too, all I got was a fine for not wearing a seatbelt. Stupid fuckers.
Anyway, in civilised (non-town) society, we don't have regular public transport. Since we can afford cars and can go anywhere we like whenever we want.
I can pretty much do that with cabs. Don;t have to worry about parking either.You're missing out on the fun of driving.
Drop off or pick up outside the cliub or pub.
I don;t know anyone that thinks driving is fun in london.I find all driving fun. Think of it as a game not a necessity. All other drivers are your enemy.
I doubt you've driven much in london then.I've driven through the rush hour in Paris, now that was fucking mental.
Fucking cool! I'd love to see that played in a local church, the locals would go mental. I don't think most religious nutters would appreciate it.
Yeah the girl I work with sings in a gospal chior they were on the BBC gospal chior of the year or something before covid struck.Ugh, looks like an evil witch.
I offered her the option of singing a friends band song called the the fuck up, which she dedicated to one of her exs,
https://youtu.be/8stuqJQOCAA?list=PL_bzmSg_7wz-CjDopzatloJoolP5Rhft1
And the song sux.
I think that would sound cool I like the sound range of gospal chiors just a pity about teh crap lyrics and lack of guitar an riffs.
I guess so , I'm not really interested in mainstream stuff like sports, never been to a football match.
Neither am I, that's entertainment for the dopey masses.
Yep, although I did watch a bit of womens football last night.Why don't they all play naked? In mud? Take it less seriously and end up in a brawl?
Then I'd watch it.
And some of the women tennis players are cute, but doubt I';ll ever get the chance to meet anyWozniacki's nice.
doubt I'll see them in the clubs I go to and proabbly even less likely to see them in my local aldi or lidle
Makes a cute little orgasmic noise when hitting the ball too.
I'm guessing he didn't account for the weight of fuel needed just to get it into orbit.LEDs at 5kV? WTF? There must have been things he could have added to that circuit to take the voltage away.
Trouble with some academics they just say go to the teaching labs borrow what you can from them and buy the rest from your project fund, which is normally £100 max, anything else needs to eb paid for by a research grant.
Another student wanted some resistors and an LED that worked at 5KV as he was rotating a magnet in a magnetic field, he wanted to stick a probe in close to the magnet rotating at 30K RPM of something
he estimated he'd get a few KVs from a coil placed in the field so wanted to touch it with an LED.
Again we sent him back to his supervisor to approve any purchases and to add the items to the on-line order form we provide, but he never found a supplier for either a LED or resistor with a 5KV rating.
The he should put it on the order form and we'd get it subject to costs of course.Maybe he wasn't knowledgeable enough to know about such things. Couldn't you have helped him with it?
In my experience they dictate which suppliers you're allowed to use for common stuff like computers, stationary, etc.Most of their dealing is with hotels and accommodation for academics traveling abroad for conferences.He asked me what would happen if he used our standard 1/4w resistors. >> > I said they'd just go open circuit with a big flash and I wouldn't want to be holding a stick with one on.ROFL!
And it's hardly laundering, I thought that was someone disposing of some stolen money by buying and selling things with it.
Finance departments are a waste of fucking space. You're the one that knows what you need and where the best place to get it is, not them.If something is cheaper on ebay we have used it in the past we bought 100 RGB LEDsAh so you can use Ebay. You were objecting to it earlier.
cheap and easy to test if woiking the 10% or so they didn't you can just throw away.
The college doesn't like it especially for high value items .
We're allowed about £2k per month and anything over £500 has to be ordered by finance
on an account which I think they pay 1-3 months later. Most ebayers want the money up front I don't blame them.
We tell them where to get the stuff they pay for it, you can't just get a 3D scanner costing almost £60k on a CC
Probably because all governments are criminal.Don't care, I'm fed up of left wingers. I see trader4 in alt.home.repair is now moaning about Biden after he used to moan about Trump....He's far right, which I like.His policies are wonderful.But he's a fat fuck.
and that's being polite about him
He doesn't have any other than to make himself rich.
He's a con artist.
It's easy to moan , people get pissed of when they can;t have what they think they should have.
It does seem that way.Because voters are stupid and only vote in Labour or Tory. They're both useless corrupt charletons. We should vote for smaller parties.
Not asking you to do a transplant, just help them do everyday things.It shouldn't be up to them to look after them that's going back 100s of years .So you wouldn't look after your ill relative?
Look after is one thing, I haven;t the skills to do liver transplants, heart ops or even personal care.
Even lifting someone up to go on the toilet can do your back in and dropping them.
Like take a shit while I'm at work or sort out eh pills they have to take when they have dementurePeople looking after relatives don't work, they get carer's allowance. Anyway his family were very well off.
It's a bit more serious than that.Amazing how many got over it.
Not everyone does. That's why they are people on respirators in hospital and if we in the lab are off sick even with a bad cold we'd have to close the lab.Far too many precautions, let the weak die off and strengthen the gene pool.

OK, here's a couple of things I'm looking to buy.
4 of these "Make: Electronics, 3e: Learning by Discovery: A Hands-On Primer for the New Electronics Enthusiast."
If supervisor likes them as they have in previous years will be ordering 100-200 depending on how many students sign up for the course in september.£21 paperback Amazon and Ebay. Ebay has about 10 in stock, I couldn't work out how to see the stock level in Amazon as their web page is an unintuitive piece of shit.
I need to make up better leads for the DMMs, the path of least hassle for me is to buy sets of these :-Ugh, I've got those, don't try to put more than an amp through them or they melt.
Sealey Jumper Test Lead Set 5 Pairs (or similar) cut in half so 20 per pack
and add a 4mm stackable plug.
I'll try one pack for now work out how long it'll take me and if it's cheaper than buying the pre-made 4mm to Croc clip leads we had in the past
but the croc clips were too large and bulking for small devices so I replaced them with mini shrouded croc clips.
probbaly make up at least 50 pairs if noit more , hopefully we'll get a work experience person to do them :-)
See what prices you can get them for ....You can get 30 for a tenner here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elegoo-Leads-Alligator-Double-end-Jumper/dp/B073QGMY1V
Or Ebay is only £7:

I'm sure my council had backhanders. There was a "study" that showed inkjet printers cost 14p a page to print in colour, so we were told to use the rented Xerox colour photocopier at 6p a page. I pointed out we were using Brother printers with fake
We're using HP printers they are pretty good quality prints , good enough for most photos , cost about ~12p per page 3p for monochrome.
Calcucting costs is difficult but when printing almost full page colour it does use more ink, I did the calcualtions years ago and in the days when we used inkjet it cost about 25p per A4 page for photos or graphs which had more than 75%
of the area coloured in.
We use access cards to print and so do all students and members off staff we don;t send our prints to a printer they go to a server and I can go almost anywhere on campus and use almost any printer.
So if a printer is out of action or consumables just go to another one.
I never have to fill them with paper or toner as that's included, the printer just sends a message to someone and within a day they come and replace or fill them.
A3 and A4 500 sheet capacity I keep a ream or 2 of paper for emergencies though plus some photo quality paper.

Well I believe it when I see it.
ebays trick is not to include P&P in the price, amazon always include P&P as long as you spend more than £20.

Yep give any loon a gun, that's works out well doesn;t it.
God protects them from covid but they still need a gun because God won;t prodect them from fellow americans.
fucking idiots.
You claimed to have been on a beach with a liffe guard why are they needed if you can't swim you shouldn't go in the water.
really knew what happened.After the last incident a couple of years ago when someone was working after 6pm flushed some chemicals down the sink and there was an explosion took out quite a few windows and wreck the room the police turned up with the bomb squad before anyone
Lots of questions on why the student wasn't being supervised, he got quite badly burnt from what I heard.Which is entirely the student's fault and nobody is to blame but him. He's not a child.
He obviously didn't know which chemicals shouldn;t be mixed that's why there's safety rules and notices and training given.
He should even been putting them down the sink in the first place.
Maybe he couldn't read, maybe he didn't give a shit. Maybe he though it wasn't his reposonsibity to lok aafter the equipment he's been given.
All very basic stuff but for most things if yuo are doing something that could be dangerous to have someone around that can help.
But who's paying for the costs of the rebuild and his hospital costs, yes you the tax payer.

No we don;t have reseach technicains anymore, we used to , research technicains are paid for from the grants the college gets
if the grant doesn;t cover the costs...
Two lectures got sacked for that years ago gettingn the public to pay for technicains to work on private reasearch jobs.
I helped him as much as I could but as he is doing a PhD and already has a degree and is being paid more than me he should at least know the basics.
Such as what a 1/4w resistors limits are.

Swe had that with our NI elvis kits and with the power gen stuff from Lucus-Nulle, but tehy failed so had to buy from who we told them to.
came to ~140k euros postage alone cost £5K .
Maybe you can find it cheaper on ebay .

From being a bit merry to telling crap jokes to falling over and ending up comatosed on the floor and not being able to get to bed.
You're missing out on the fun of driving.Anyway, in civilised (non-town) society, we don't have regular public transport. Since we can afford cars and can go anywhere we like whenever we want.
I can pretty much do that with cabs. Don;t have to worry about parking either.
Drop off or pick up outside the cliub or pub.
I've driven through the rush hour in Paris, now that was fucking mental.I don;t know anyone that thinks driving is fun in london.I find all driving fun. Think of it as a game not a necessity. All other drivers are your enemy.
I doubt you've driven much in london then.
Ugh, looks like an evil witch.Fucking cool! I'd love to see that played in a local church, the locals would go mental. I don't think most religious nutters would appreciate it.
Yeah the girl I work with sings in a gospal chior they were on the BBC gospal chior of the year or something before covid struck.
I offered her the option of singing a friends band song called the the fuck up, which she dedicated to one of her exs,
https://youtu.be/8stuqJQOCAA?list=PL_bzmSg_7wz-CjDopzatloJoolP5Rhft1
Well that was the aim these drama students etc..
And the song sux.
I think that would sound cool I like the sound range of gospal chiors just a pity about teh crap lyrics and lack of guitar an riffs.Why don't they all play naked? In mud? Take it less seriously and end up in a brawl?
I guess so , I'm not really interested in mainstream stuff like sports, never been to a football match.
Neither am I, that's entertainment for the dopey masses.
Yep, although I did watch a bit of womens football last night.
I've seen videos of such thing back in the 80s.
Then I'd watch it.
And some of the women tennis players are cute, but doubt I';ll ever get the chance to meet anyWozniacki's nice.
doubt I'll see them in the clubs I go to and proabbly even less likely to see them in my local aldi or lidle
I thought he was the one that worked with steve jobs on the Macs in the mid 80s.

Calcucting costs is difficult but when printing almost full page colour it does use more ink, I did the calcualtions years ago and in the days when we used inkjet it cost about 25p per A4 page for photos or graphs which had more than 75%I've never used a printer where the ink costs more than the paper.

If it's something specialist you might find it's cheaper on CPC etc, but Ebay is always less than Amazon.

That's not my experience , the dd thing is cheaper on ebay but not by much.
I'll let you know the next thing(s) we are looking for.
Well I believe it when I see it.Other way round. On Ebay the results clearly show postage, and if you sort by price it includes the postage in the calculation. Amazon is all over the place with postage.
ebays trick is not to include P&P in the price, amazon always include P&P as long as you spend more than £20.
I have to almost buy each product to find out the postage.Like on jan 6th good idea.

something like that needs a serious risk assessment.

Lots of questions on why the student wasn't being supervised, he got quite badly burnt from what I heard.Which is entirely the student's fault and nobody is to blame but him. He's not a child.
He obviously didn't know which chemicals shouldn;t be mixed that's why there's safety rules and notices and training given.That's fucking pathetic. People are such pansies nowadays, they think tiny risks are important.
He should even been putting them down the sink in the first place.
Maybe he couldn't read, maybe he didn't give a shit. Maybe he though it wasn't his reposonsibity to lok aafter the equipment he's been given.
All very basic stuff but for most things if yuo are doing something that could be dangerous to have someone around that can help.
But who's paying for the costs of the rebuild and his hospital costs, yes you the tax payer.He should. You see the trouble with your way is someone higher up takes responsibility for "not teaching him" or "not supervising him". Just blame the person that did it.

OK, here's a couple of things I'm looking to buy.
4 of these "Make: Electronics, 3e: Learning by Discovery: A Hands-On Primer for the New Electronics Enthusiast."
If supervisor likes them as they have in previous years will be ordering 100-200 depending on how many students sign up for the course in september.
What do you mean 'about 10 is that 10 or not.It means I didn't take the effort to count exactly.
Didn;t know we already ordered 4 them on 5th and arrived 3pm on 7th.I think they're a publisher? Yes they should do bulk discounts.
yep £21 .
Accedmics collecting them today from us.
contacted o'rielly or rielly who ever is that distrbuites and they have quoted ~£18 each if we order 100.
I need to make up better leads for the DMMs, the path of least hassle for me is to buy sets of these :-Ugh, I've got those, don't try to put more than an amp through them or they melt.
Sealey Jumper Test Lead Set 5 Pairs (or similar) cut in half so 20 per pack
Well for DMMs we don't need much current we try to aviod using them to measure current.I often measure current. An amp or so. Difficult to get leads that like that, especially without dropping many volts.
and add a 4mm stackable plug.You can get 30 for a tenner here:
I'll try one pack for now work out how long it'll take me and if it's cheaper than buying the pre-made 4mm to Croc clip leads we had in the past
but the croc clips were too large and bulking for small devices so I replaced them with mini shrouded croc clips.
probbaly make up at least 50 pairs if noit more , hopefully we'll get a work experience person to do them :-)
See what prices you can get them for ....

arrive on thrusday if we order today how comes 2-3 days is a week ?Some sellers are quicker at posting than others, and Royal Mail are in severe difficulty at the moment with strikes. Ebay gives you an average, I almost always get it a couple of days before then.
We buy quite a bit of Elegoo stuffYes I used Rapid and CPC/Farnell a lot, much cheaper than RS. I just used RS for difficult to get things. I got mains plugs from CPC for 20p each!
we are going to try these even cheaper as we really only want just black and red (maybe green if we had to) to encourage the students to colour code.

That's fucking pathetic. People are such pansies nowadays, they think tiny risks are important.Lots of questions on why the student wasn't being supervised, he got quite badly burnt from what I heard.Which is entirely the student's fault and nobody is to blame but him. He's not a child.
He obviously didn't know which chemicals shouldn;t be mixed that's why there's safety rules and notices and training given.
That's how yuo leanr the problem comes when yuo're standing close to some idiot and you get injured.Too unlikely to happen for me to care.
Yes of course.If it'd been my lab he wouldn't be allowed in there after 5pm.He should even been putting them down the sink in the first place.He should. You see the trouble with your way is someone higher up takes responsibility for "not teaching him" or "not supervising him". Just blame the person that did it.
Maybe he couldn't read, maybe he didn't give a shit. Maybe he though it wasn't his reposonsibity to lok aafter the equipment he's been given.
All very basic stuff but for most things if yuo are doing something that could be dangerous to have someone around that can help.
But who's paying for the costs of the rebuild and his hospital costs, yes you the tax payer.
Would you allow someone to drive your car that couldn't drive,
I'm guess you would and if he crashed it and died you'd lose the car, but who would you blame.Him, he crashed it. I'd expect money from his assets.
Great idea but sometimes they end up dead who do you blame then.This?

So what was this about? I don't watch the news.

Blood vessels can burst too which adds to the effect.

as it'd take them too long to erase discs, finding pucka sotfware and get them working.
A friend did that bought cheap items tested them on his Macs and if they worked he then sold them on ebay as working on Mac OS
He made a bit of money but he just lovered doing it for a year or so then got bored.
That's how I got my SE-30 as the SIMM holders went brittle and snapped so you could have any more than 4MB installed.
That's handy we used to have someone an any old iron bloke called Tom the Tutt he used to collect all our scape stuff.
I wished we'd kept some of that stuff would be worth quite a bit now.
I wanted to keep the jabobs ladder that was lent out to the film set for young frankiestien the one that sting was in.
Loads of old meters dating from the 60s in bakolite cases.
3 phases varaics with control wheels the size of car stearing wheels.
1.5 KW loads although those were the size of a washing macine and had asbestos panels in them.
We had 6.6MV van der graff and a 10ft diameter fly wheel that was used to keep it going.
We used to to test for lightning strikes on the concorde fuselage and filmed it using a 20 FPS camera
this was just before my time here think it was ealry 70s.
Also had lots of high power high voltage stuff
Large oil filed transformers. Lots of interesting bits and pieces but all thrown out.
I have a ledger book with some things listedhaving had the same amount. His girlfriend though it was funny when he started a fight with me and planted his face into the ground when I stepped to one side.
125uF 3.5KV capacitor £35 in may 1964 in todays money that's about £700 ! Model 7 AVO £16 june 1957 in todays money that's about £400 !
I don't get that drunk, but I do consume a very large amount, since I use it all the time and have got used to it. Even as a teenager, the first time I ever had drink, my friend got utterly pissed and couldn't stand up and I could hardly feel itI'm very good at being drunk. I can be 5 times over the legal limit and the police don't even notice. Once I was completely stoned too, all I got was a fine for not wearing a seatbelt. Stupid fuckers.No problem for me, even the night bus is every 15mins, 30-45 mins from the club,Doesn't the bus driver refuse to let you on when you keep falling over?
don;t have to worry about drinking to much either.
Which I don't. Getting out in the iopen air sort of sobers me up enough to be able to walk the few 100 metres to teh bus stop.
One thing I've always wondered about is how far over the legal limit I'd be but I've never been tested.
From being a bit merry to telling crap jokes to falling over and ending up comatosed on the floor and not being able to get to bed.
People do have differnt tolerancies alsot deoends on speed of drinking and whether you've had anything to eat.
It's daft they go by blood alcohol percentage, when the same number can affect people by different amounts. It's also been shown that being tired has precisely the same effect on driving as being drunk, but you don't lose your license for that.
Yeah or looking in the mirror to do makeup.
I used to drive better at caremggedon after a few drinks back from the pub ......
Anyway I drive better when drunk because I know I'm drunk and pay more attention.
Would like to be able to myself in such circumstances.
Armor piercing bullets is the answer, called "cop killers". Don't let them control us.I have to almost buy each product to find out the postage.Like on jan 6th good idea.
At least they can shoot the police.Get to fuck. Why can't people take responsibility for themselves? This isn't fucking America.

Not sure we could do that in a lab.I assume you have some outdoor areas?
Can you image the problems using a 5KV pulse generator to ignite high octane fuel :-0
Not really and you'd need people there in case of any accidents and to take responsibility
something like that needs a serious risk assessment.
Yep give any loon a gun, that's works out well doesn;t it.

Perhaps your finance department wasn't so corrupt. Universities are more privatised (therefore accountable) than schools.
I guess so, there's lines of responsibility as the cost of anything goes up you have to get supervisor approval and then it goes to the course organiser , then head of school then head of department, then to the principle for things like the
fake ink at 1p a page. Then I find out the study was conducted by..... Xerox! And using HP (the most expensive shite) with genuine (WTF?) cartridges. Never got them to back down, but they turned a blind eye to my Brother printer and ink purchases on Ebay.
I'm sure my council had backhanders. There was a "study" that showed inkjet printers cost 14p a page to print in colour, so we were told to use the rented Xerox colour photocopier at 6p a page. I pointed out we were using Brother printers with
Your department doesn't have it's own printers?Try Brother or Epson and get cheap fake cartridges, or better yet an official or unofficial continuous ink supply system. At home I get the equivalent of 13p a cartridge!
We're using HP printers they are pretty good quality prints , good enough for most photos , cost about ~12p per page 3p for monochrome.
Nothing to do with me or even the department , we just print and that's it. It's a college wide system.
No why would we.
Only research, if they need a specific printer for a specific reason, such as one inkjet that was specailly desgined for using with conductive ink.
and the few poster printers we have. They just replace the printers after 2-3 years
Presently a Pagewide Managed color MFP E77660 and a Pagewide Managed color MFP E58650.
All controlled by college IT services , they keep counts of how many prints the students do , students can use a card to pay for credits to print more.
But they don;t print much, course work is mainly emailed in as PDF instructions and labsheets sent to them as PDFs.
We sometimes print out help sheets and some basic labs sheets.
Why would we need our own printers ?
I thought it was the ink that mattered for longevity. Immunity to UV for example.Calcucting costs is difficult but when printing almost full page colour it does use more ink, I did the calcualtions years ago and in the days when we used inkjet it cost about 25p per A4 page for photos or graphs which had more than 75%I've never used a printer where the ink costs more than the paper.
of the area coloured in.
We use access cards to print and so do all students and members off staff we don;t send our prints to a printer they go to a server and I can go almost anywhere on campus and use almost any printer.
So if a printer is out of action or consumables just go to another one. >> >> > I never have to fill them with paper or toner as that's included, the printer just sends a message to someone and within a day they come and replace or fill them.
A3 and A4 500 sheet capacity I keep a ream or 2 of paper for emergencies though plus some photo quality paper.
Well the cheap stadard papper is OK for most things. But if you want a print to last you need better paper. We have a few large format printers for posters and stuff, up to A0 I think.
No it;s the paper too how much ink it soaks up, glossy matt, pearl stipple depending on effect.
differnt papper abosrb diffenert amounts of ink and sometimes the cheap inks aren;t colourfast.
If you want the best you don't use standard ink anyway you use dye sublimation ink
Other way round. On Ebay the results clearly show postage, and if you sort by price it includes the postage in the calculation. Amazon is all over the place with postage.If it's something specialist you might find it's cheaper on CPC etc, but Ebay is always less than Amazon. It's because the seller fees are much higher (double!) on Amazon.Every single thing, I did some random tests to check. Just think of a few things, find them on both. Ebay is always a lot less.Occasionally it's cheaper elsewhere, but I always start with Ebay, and if the price looks too much I have a search elsewhere. And absolutely never used overpriced Amazon. That's just Ebay with less choices and more cost.we bought 50 of these Bench Top Linear Power Supply, 0-30V 5A with Twin Outputs.These? Did you drop a link?
was from onecall but the site was down for maintenance, seemed more expensive on ebay when we looked and only had a couple and weighing about 5-6KG each P&P was expensive .
That's not my experience , the dd thing is cheaper on ebay but not by much.
I'll let you know the next thing(s) we are looking for.
Well I believe it when I see it.
ebays trick is not to include P&P in the price, amazon always include P&P as long as you spend more than £20.
Never seems to be a problem when we order.
Every time I look at Amazon I can't tell what the postage will be.
I guess it depends on what you order but we've never seem to have a problem as we don;t have prime either.
The only time we don;t know is if teh total is below £20 then it says at the top add £xxxx for free P&P.
Even when we had £19.99 it said £0.01p for free P&P
I find ebay more confusing as you don;t know which carrier they'll be using.
tried to order 300 2N3904 on ebay what a pain first supllier only had 140 in stock, another only had 200,
and non seem to be cheaper than rapid .

OK, here's a couple of things I'm looking to buy.
4 of these "Make: Electronics, 3e: Learning by Discovery: A Hands-On Primer for the New Electronics Enthusiast."
If supervisor likes them as they have in previous years will be ordering 100-200 depending on how many students sign up for the course in september.
When you click on the number yuo can scroll down to enter the number yuo want to order it went to 30 and stopped.
I often measure current. An amp or so. Difficult to get leads that like that, especially without dropping many volts.I need to make up better leads for the DMMs, the path of least hassle for me is to buy sets of these :-Ugh, I've got those, don't try to put more than an amp through them or they melt.
Sealey Jumper Test Lead Set 5 Pairs (or similar) cut in half so 20 per pack
Well for DMMs we don't need much current we try to aviod using them to measure current.
Yes that's the disadvantage of measuring amps.
Most things run on volts, which is why I hope they'll teach students about current limits on our PSU.
Most things they do run on less that 1amp.
We buy quite a bit of Elegoo stuffYes I used Rapid and CPC/Farnell a lot, much cheaper than RS. I just used RS for difficult to get things. I got mains plugs from CPC for 20p each!
we are going to try these even cheaper as we really only want just black and red (maybe green if we had to) to encourage the students to colour code.
(most DMM probes come in red and black)

if we order today they'll be here on Monday
Mains plugs who buys them
I've over 200 IEC leads and if we put a plug on anything college says it needs a PAT test cert which is £1.39

I did like killing the old grannies shouting "I was in the war!"
Anyway I drive better when drunk because I know I'm drunk and pay more attention.
Would like to be able to myself in such circumstances.So now you want to drive? Thought you didn't see the point?

Armor piercing bullets is the answer, called "cop killers". Don't let them control us.I have to almost buy each product to find out the postage.Like on jan 6th good idea.
At least they can shoot the police.Get to fuck. Why can't people take responsibility for themselves? This isn't fucking America. We're better than that.Some sort of fast propulsion drive for probes to other planets he claimed it was faster than anything NASA had, he wanted to prove it. Not sure we could do that in a lab.I assume you have some outdoor areas?
Can you image the problems using a 5KV pulse generator to ignite high octane fuel :-0
Not really and you'd need people there in case of any accidents and to take responsibility
something like that needs a serious risk assessment.
Yep give any loon a gun, that's works out well doesn;t it.
God protects them from covid but they still need a gun because God won;t prodect them from fellow americans.
fucking idiots.
Ours don't control us.They bloody do, there's 150,000 laws you're meant to follow, I doubt you know what they all are.
I do when one tells me off for swimming outside his precious little zone.couldn;t care less myself.You claimed to have been on a beach with a liffe guard why are they needed if you can't swim you shouldn't go in the water.I can swim and there shouldn't be life guards.
That's what happened to an idiot who died after swimming in a quarry.Why would you die swimming in a quarry? It's just water.
and some before him.
anyone really knew what happened.After the last incident a couple of years ago when someone was working after 6pm flushed some chemicals down the sink and there was an explosion took out quite a few windows and wreck the room the police turned up with the bomb squad before
Too unlikely to happen for me to care.That's fucking pathetic. People are such pansies nowadays, they think tiny risks are important.Lots of questions on why the student wasn't being supervised, he got quite badly burnt from what I heard.Which is entirely the student's fault and nobody is to blame but him. He's not a child.
He obviously didn't know which chemicals shouldn;t be mixed that's why there's safety rules and notices and training given.
That's how yuo leanr the problem comes when yuo're standing close to some idiot and you get injured.
How do you know that.46 years of experience.
Yes of course.If it'd been my lab he wouldn't be allowed in there after 5pm.He should even been putting them down the sink in the first place. >> >> > Maybe he couldn't read, maybe he didn't give a shit. Maybe he though it wasn't his reposonsibity to lok aafter the equipment he's been given.He should. You see the trouble with your way is someone higher up takes responsibility for "not teaching him" or "not supervising him". Just blame the person that did it.
All very basic stuff but for most things if yuo are doing something that could be dangerous to have someone around that can help.
But who's paying for the costs of the rebuild and his hospital costs, yes you the tax payer.
Would you allow someone to drive your car that couldn't drive,
How do you know they'll bring it back in one piece if at all.Not my problem.
I'm guess you would and if he crashed it and died you'd lose the car, but who would you blame.Him, he crashed it. I'd expect money from his assets.
What makes you think he'd have assets if he had to borrow your car.I tend to lend things to people I know.
He could be homeless mentally ill or a psycho.
he might not even pay for the pertrol used.
Great idea but sometimes they end up dead who do you blame then.This?
Like the footballer in the light aircraft .

"even the most fit person would only survive for a few hours in the water." - Bullshit, fit people can swim for more than a few hours. Even I'm happy at 3 hours.
That depends on the water.Well apart form highly acidic water next to a volcano, there isn't much that would kill you off.
So what was this about? I don't watch the news.
Who should be blamed and how does it help.Nobody should be blamed. The person flying the plane crashed it. Can't blame anyone else.
you said you've driven in paris how did you get across the water , did you swim.Paris isn't full of water.

I guess so, there's lines of responsibility as the cost of anything goes up you have to get supervisor approval and then it goes to the course organiser , then head of school then head of department, then to the principle for things like the
fake ink at 1p a page. Then I find out the study was conducted by..... Xerox! And using HP (the most expensive shite) with genuine (WTF?) cartridges. Never got them to back down, but they turned a blind eye to my Brother printer and ink purchases on Ebay.
I'm sure my council had backhanders. There was a "study" that showed inkjet printers cost 14p a page to print in colour, so we were told to use the rented Xerox colour photocopier at 6p a page. I pointed out we were using Brother printers with
Your department doesn't have it's own printers?Try Brother or Epson and get cheap fake cartridges, or better yet an official or unofficial continuous ink supply system. At home I get the equivalent of 13p a cartridge!
We're using HP printers they are pretty good quality prints , good enough for most photos , cost about ~12p per page 3p for monochrome.
Nothing to do with me or even the department , we just print and that's it. It's a college wide system.
No why would we.When I worked in a uni there were about 50 printers in use in one department. I'd probably change a toner or ink cartridge 8 times a day. How the hell do your staff get buy without printing?
they never break) is £80, and toner can't dry up.Only research, if they need a specific printer for a specific reason, such as one inkjet that was specailly desgined for using with conductive ink.So in a lecture they're all at a computer are they? Nothing is on paper?
and the few poster printers we have. They just replace the printers after 2-3 years
Presently a Pagewide Managed color MFP E77660 and a Pagewide Managed color MFP E58650.
All controlled by college IT services , they keep counts of how many prints the students do , students can use a card to pay for credits to print more.
But they don;t print much, course work is mainly emailed in as PDF instructions and labsheets sent to them as PDFs.
We sometimes print out help sheets and some basic labs sheets.
Why would we need our own printers ?
I thought it was the ink that mattered for longevity. Immunity to UV for example.Calcucting costs is difficult but when printing almost full page colour it does use more ink, I did the calcualtions years ago and in the days when we used inkjet it cost about 25p per A4 page for photos or graphs which had more than 75%I've never used a printer where the ink costs more than the paper.
of the area coloured in.
We use access cards to print and so do all students and members off staff we don;t send our prints to a printer they go to a server and I can go almost anywhere on campus and use almost any printer.
So if a printer is out of action or consumables just go to another one.
I never have to fill them with paper or toner as that's included, the printer just sends a message to someone and within a day they come and replace or fill them.
A3 and A4 500 sheet capacity I keep a ream or 2 of paper for emergencies though plus some photo quality paper.
Well the cheap stadard papper is OK for most things. But if you want a print to last you need better paper. We have a few large format printers for posters and stuff, up to A0 I think.
No it;s the paper too how much ink it soaks up, glossy matt, pearl stipple depending on effect.I find stuff in sunlight fades, but surely that's only down to the ink, not the paper. I'm not going to put fancy expensive ink in just for the odd time I need it colourfast.
differnt papper abosrb diffenert amounts of ink and sometimes the cheap inks aren;t colourfast.
If you want the best you don't use standard ink anyway you use dye sublimation ink
I'm thinking of changing my inkjet to a colour laser anyway, I'm sick of the ink clogging up if I don't use it for a while. Cheapest colour inkjet is £60 new. 2nd hand ones are already fucked. Cheapest 2nd hand colour laser (which will work fine as
Other way round. On Ebay the results clearly show postage, and if you sort by price it includes the postage in the calculation. Amazon is all over the place with postage.If it's something specialist you might find it's cheaper on CPC etc, but Ebay is always less than Amazon. It's because the seller fees are much higher (double!) on Amazon.Every single thing, I did some random tests to check. Just think of a few things, find them on both. Ebay is always a lot less.Occasionally it's cheaper elsewhere, but I always start with Ebay, and if the price looks too much I have a search elsewhere. And absolutely never used overpriced Amazon. That's just Ebay with less choices and more cost.we bought 50 of these Bench Top Linear Power Supply, 0-30V 5A with Twin Outputs.These? Did you drop a link?
was from onecall but the site was down for maintenance, seemed more expensive on ebay when we looked and only had a couple and weighing about 5-6KG each P&P was expensive .
That's not my experience , the dd thing is cheaper on ebay but not by much.
I'll let you know the next thing(s) we are looking for.
Well I believe it when I see it.
ebays trick is not to include P&P in the price, amazon always include P&P as long as you spend more than £20.
Never seems to be a problem when we order.
Every time I look at Amazon I can't tell what the postage will be.
I guess it depends on what you order but we've never seem to have a problem as we don;t have prime either.Ebay is very simple, the postage is shown in the search list.
The only time we don;t know is if teh total is below £20 then it says at the top add £xxxx for free P&P.
Even when we had £19.99 it said £0.01p for free P&P
I find ebay more confusing as you don;t know which carrier they'll be using.Ebay is best for ordering the odd thing. Bulk is cheapest from big suppliers. I bought a pack of 10 fuses the other day, getting that from Rapid would have cost more in postage than the fuses.
tried to order 300 2N3904 on ebay what a pain first supllier only had 140 in stock, another only had 200,
and non seem to be cheaper than rapid .

OK, here's a couple of things I'm looking to buy.
4 of these "Make: Electronics, 3e: Learning by Discovery: A Hands-On Primer for the New Electronics Enthusiast."
If supervisor likes them as they have in previous years will be ordering 100-200 depending on how many students sign up for the course in september.
When you click on the number yuo can scroll down to enter the number yuo want to order it went to 30 and stopped.No, I was opening each one to see how many each guy had in stock.
I often measure current. An amp or so. Difficult to get leads that like that, especially without dropping many volts.I need to make up better leads for the DMMs, the path of least hassle for me is to buy sets of these :-Ugh, I've got those, don't try to put more than an amp through them or they melt.
Sealey Jumper Test Lead Set 5 Pairs (or similar) cut in half so 20 per pack
Well for DMMs we don't need much current we try to aviod using them to measure current.
Yes that's the disadvantage of measuring amps.I deal with stuff well over that. An amp clamp is nice though, especially for a car where I can't be bothered disconnecting stuff in awkward places.
Most things run on volts, which is why I hope they'll teach students about current limits on our PSU.
Most things they do run on less that 1amp.
We buy quite a bit of Elegoo stuffYes I used Rapid and CPC/Farnell a lot, much cheaper than RS. I just used RS for difficult to get things. I got mains plugs from CPC for 20p each!
we are going to try these even cheaper as we really only want just black and red (maybe green if we had to) to encourage the students to colour code.
(most DMM probes come in red and black)
https://www.rapidonline.com/r-tech-524603-pk-of-20-croc-leads-10-red-10-black-460mm-52-4603
£5.63 and free P&P
if we order today they'll be here on Monday
Mains plugs who buys themMe. Things have to be plugged in.
I've over 200 IEC leads and if we put a plug on anything college says it needs a PAT test cert which is £1.39So don't tell them you did it.
but have to wait until someone comes and does the test, it;s been 4 years since the last testsFuck that, I did that PAT testing myself. £80 for a PAT test machine. Takes you a couple of minutes to do it, less if you just put the sticker on it and assume it's fine.

A friend did that bought cheap items tested them on his Macs and if they worked he then sold them on ebay as working on Mac OS
He made a bit of money but he just lovered doing it for a year or so then got bored.
There's a van round here with a megaphone that shouts "any old scrap metal?" He doesn't even have a recording, as he changes what he says if he spots someone. He took a chest freezer off me.
That's how I got my SE-30 as the SIMM holders went brittle and snapped so you could have any more than 4MB installed.
That's handy we used to have someone an any old iron bloke called Tom the Tutt he used to collect all our scape stuff.
Ours disapeared years ago he kept getting tiuckets for his unsafe lorry loads , he seemd to over load it and broke down many times in the main road.
Maybe the police got his licence revoked or something, he sort of disapeard one day couldnt; contact him or anything.
I wished we'd kept some of that stuff would be worth quite a bit now.I got a few old meters dating back to 1930 form Ebay, for as little as £15. One is electrostatic.
I wanted to keep the jabobs ladder that was lent out to the film set for young frankiestien the one that sting was in.
Loads of old meters dating from the 60s in bakolite cases.
I did take a standard vairac and something else that I don;t know exacly what it is I just like the look of of.
Think it test HV transformers , somewhere in my loft now along with a couple of AVOs.
Not recently did a few years back.3 phases varaics with control wheels the size of car stearing wheels.Have you ever watched the Youtube channel from photonic induction? He loves to play with stuff like that.
1.5 KW loads although those were the size of a washing macine and had asbestos panels in them.20 FPS camera doesn't sound unusual.
We had 6.6MV van der graff and a 10ft diameter fly wheel that was used to keep it going.
We used to to test for lightning strikes on the concorde fuselage and filmed it using a 20 FPS camera
Sorry forgot the K so 20k FPS it had a large cinima type real like an old cine film camera 12" in diameter
made a hell of a racket when it started up. I never got to see it in action though, well not actually doing any filming.
I think it needed a major service.
this was just before my time here think it was ealry 70s.Are substations still oil filled? Those make a nice big fire when they get shorted.
Also had lots of high power high voltage stuff
Large oil filed transformers. Lots of interesting bits and pieces but all thrown out.
Don;t really know we're starting teaching power stuff again but using tesktop versions.
having had the same amount. His girlfriend though it was funny when he started a fight with me and planted his face into the ground when I stepped to one side.I have a ledger book with some things listed
125uF 3.5KV capacitor £35 in may 1964 in todays money that's about £700 ! >> > Model 7 AVO £16 june 1957 in todays money that's about £400 !
I don't get that drunk, but I do consume a very large amount, since I use it all the time and have got used to it. Even as a teenager, the first time I ever had drink, my friend got utterly pissed and couldn't stand up and I could hardly feel itI'm very good at being drunk. I can be 5 times over the legal limit and the police don't even notice. Once I was completely stoned too, all I got was a fine for not wearing a seatbelt. Stupid fuckers.No problem for me, even the night bus is every 15mins, 30-45 mins from the club,Doesn't the bus driver refuse to let you on when you keep falling over?
don;t have to worry about drinking to much either.
Which I don't. Getting out in the iopen air sort of sobers me up enough to be able to walk the few 100 metres to teh bus stop.
One thing I've always wondered about is how far over the legal limit I'd be but I've never been tested.
From being a bit merry to telling crap jokes to falling over and ending up comatosed on the floor and not being able to get to bed.
I think my body classes ethanol as a fuel.
People do have differnt tolerancies alsot deoends on speed of drinking and whether you've had anything to eat.
I think when that happens it's alcohlism the body uses aclchol and doesn;t use 'food' as efficiently and that's why you just can;t go cold turkey and be 'cured' like you cxan to tobacco or herion/cocaine etc...
and let me through. Having a conversation between cars didn't bother me, but only going 70, WTF?I once followed two women in separate cars on a 2 lane motorway. They were in 1 lane each, with the windows down, shouting across to each other having a discussion about something. After a couple of minutes they noticed I wanted past, waved in apology,It's daft they go by blood alcohol percentage, when the same number can affect people by different amounts. It's also been shown that being tired has precisely the same effect on driving as being drunk, but you don't lose your license for that.
Yeah or looking in the mirror to do makeup.
Some people can react faster than others.
I used to drive better at caremggedon after a few drinks back from the pub ......Indeed, a small amount of drink increases brain activity. Health too. You have to drink more than 4 times the government recommended amount to start having a detrimental effect on your health.
Did you get the splat pack?
Yes.
I did like killing the old grannies shouting "I was in the war!"
So now you want to drive? Thought you didn't see the point?Anyway I drive better when drunk because I know I'm drunk and pay more attention.
Would like to be able to myself in such circumstances.
Well I mean drive a real car, a formula 1 and formula E in various states of drunkness
then plot a grphs of times against blood alcohol and any over axis.
Always find it interesting how in the US they get people to walk a straight line and touch their nose.
Flying a plane too , but as a fun thing to try, don;t really want to spend the time and money to get qualified
or buy a plane,
well not until I win the lottery, well I did a could of weeks ago but as usually I spent the lot on a can

One tech. said they'd only do equipment they or their students make , provided the dept buy the tester. Well that was before covid .
Not heard anything since then.
I suggested the college should employ a PAT tester full time , we used to give someone 1 day a week to do just our department
and it wasn't enough time as they wanted everything tested every year.
So it's been a fuck you regarding us PAT testing.

I guess so, there's lines of responsibility as the cost of anything goes up you have to get supervisor approval and then it goes to the course organiser , then head of school then head of department, then to the principle for things like

I'm sure my council had backhanders. There was a "study" that showed inkjet printers cost 14p a page to print in colour, so we were told to use the rented Xerox colour photocopier at 6p a page. I pointed out we were using Brother printers
When I worked in a uni there were about 50 printers in use in one department. I'd probably change a toner or ink cartridge 8 times a day. How the hell do your staff get buy without printing?Your department doesn't have it's own printers?Try Brother or Epson and get cheap fake cartridges, or better yet an official or unofficial continuous ink supply system. At home I get the equivalent of 13p a cartridge!
We're using HP printers they are pretty good quality prints , good enough for most photos , cost about ~12p per page 3p for monochrome.
Nothing to do with me or even the department , we just print and that's it. It's a college wide system.
No why would we.
printing is so 20th century, why do we need to print should be the question.
even if we use ebay we don't have to send them a gross of sheep in exchange for products.
There's a printer in most labs and perhaps a couple in the main shared offices.
If an acadmic wants a printer they can order one from their grant money and they;'ll have to fill it and replace the ink.
we have done the same with bins especailly since covid not every office has 2 bins that the cleaners have to collect from.

then he showed me an image of martix board on his phone so I gave him that instead I said we don't use really use this much.
He wanted a 3 pin lead no idea what type again showed me what he wanted on the phone it was a female to female 3 pin JST lead 2.54mm pitch.
he was pleased because I had one in stock , but he he said that means they don't need ordering so don;t have to go on the ordering form, wait till he sees I've added them
He didn't know any of that he just wanted a lead with 3 pins, he was lucky he could show me a a picture there an then otherwise I;d have given him a IEC lead,
and said this has 3 pins.

Not really and you'd need people there in case of any accidents and to take responsibility
something like that needs a serious risk assessment.

I don't need to. Only need to know the ones that affect me.
Why would you die swimming in a quarry? It's just water.That's what happened to an idiot who died after swimming in a quarry.I do when one tells me off for swimming outside his precious little zone. >> >couldn;t care less myself.You claimed to have been on a beach with a liffe guard why are they needed if you can't swim you shouldn't go in the water.I can swim and there shouldn't be life guards.
and some before him.
Very deep water and he got into difficulties whatever that means. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11000531/Boy-16-dies-getting-difficulty-swimming-abandoned-Wigan-quarry.html
maybe he was drunk, or something else.
anyone really knew what happened.After the last incident a couple of years ago when someone was working after 6pm flushed some chemicals down the sink and there was an explosion took out quite a few windows and wreck the room the police turned up with the bomb squad before
46 years of experience.Too unlikely to happen for me to care.That's fucking pathetic. People are such pansies nowadays, they think tiny risks are important.Lots of questions on why the student wasn't being supervised, he got quite badly burnt from what I heard.Which is entirely the student's fault and nobody is to blame but him. He's not a child.
He obviously didn't know which chemicals shouldn;t be mixed that's why there's safety rules and notices and training given.
That's how yuo leanr the problem comes when yuo're standing close to some idiot and you get injured.
How do you know that.
So pretty meaningless.
You always know exactly what someone in the same room is doing .
Not my problem.Yes of course.If it'd been my lab he wouldn't be allowed in there after 5pm.He should even been putting them down the sink in the first place. >> >> >> > Maybe he couldn't read, maybe he didn't give a shit. Maybe he though it wasn't his reposonsibity to lok aafter the equipment he's been given.He should. You see the trouble with your way is someone higher up takes responsibility for "not teaching him" or "not supervising him". Just blame the person that did it.
All very basic stuff but for most things if yuo are doing something that could be dangerous to have someone around that can help.
But who's paying for the costs of the rebuild and his hospital costs, yes you the tax payer.
Would you allow someone to drive your car that couldn't drive,
How do you know they'll bring it back in one piece if at all.
So if you lend a car to someone and they don;t bring it back it;s not yuor problem ?
Who's problem is it and how is it solved.
I tend to lend things to people I know.I'm guess you would and if he crashed it and died you'd lose the car, but who would you blame.Him, he crashed it. I'd expect money from his assets.
What makes you think he'd have assets if he had to borrow your car.
He could be homeless mentally ill or a psycho.
he might not even pay for the pertrol used.
What differnce does that make ?
Well apart form highly acidic water next to a volcano, there isn't much that would kill you off.Great idea but sometimes they end up dead who do you blame then.This?
Like the footballer in the light aircraft .

"even the most fit person would only survive for a few hours in the water." - Bullshit, fit people can swim for more than a few hours. Even I'm happy at 3 hours.
That depends on the water.
How about those on the Titanic.
Nobody should be blamed. The person flying the plane crashed it. Can't blame anyone else.So what was this about? I don't watch the news.
Who should be blamed and how does it help.
Did someone pay him to crash it, should it have been flying was it in a safe condition.
which is back to PAT testing why bother with such a thing ?
you said you've driven in paris how did you get across the water , did you swim.Paris isn't full of water.
but thre is thsi bit of water bewteen the UK and france surely you've noticed that.

1.5 KW loads although those were the size of a washing macine and had asbestos panels in them.20 FPS camera doesn't sound unusual.
We had 6.6MV van der graff and a 10ft diameter fly wheel that was used to keep it going.
We used to to test for lightning strikes on the concorde fuselage and filmed it using a 20 FPS camera
Sorry forgot the K so 20k FPS it had a large cinima type real like an old cine film camera 12" in diameterFor high speed filming, see The Slow Mo Guys. I think they have a Phantom camera that does a million FPS.
made a hell of a racket when it started up. I never got to see it in action though, well not actually doing any filming.
I think it needed a major service.

if we order today they'll be here on Monday
Mains plugs who buys them
Everything we buy comes with a moulded IEC plug,Until it breaks, or you want to make your own stuff or modify something.
and a Euro plug too, which we recyle .I wasn't aware you can recycle plugs.
We had German students who brought a load of kit with euro plugs. I asked if they needed adapters but they said if you stick a screwdriver in the earth hole you can get a euro plug to fit in a UK socket.
Well the FGs, PSUs, scopes and anything else we buy from our supplies does.I put one on my hair trimmer the other day, a parrot had got hold of it and chewed the wire, which I replaced. Moulded plugs are stupid, you can't move them to another wire.
I've not put a plug on a lead for over 6 years now, not even at home.
I've over 200 IEC leads and if we put a plug on anything college says it needs a PAT test cert which is £1.39So don't tell them you did it.
What about the pass/fail stickers the sig on the lable and the date of next test ?Eh? They come round every x years, if something doesn't have a label they test it, what's the problem?
but have to wait until someone comes and does the test, it;s been 4 years since the last testsFuck that, I did that PAT testing myself. £80 for a PAT test machine. Takes you a couple of minutes to do it, less if you just put the sticker on it and assume it's fine.
Wanna come and do my lab with over 4500 and that's just what's on my oldish stock list.I'll do it for a lot less than them.
Wanna remove all the from pan;es from under the desks to get to the plugs and scokets , and you won't get paid for doing these you have to do them in your spare time.Never happens.

One tech. said they'd only do equipment they or their students make , provided the dept buy the tester. Well that was before covid .Seriously, you actually bother testing home made stuff?
Not heard anything since then.
I suggested the college should employ a PAT tester full time , we used to give someone 1 day a week to do just our departmentEvery year? Where the fuck did that come from? We did 4 years. And new stuff didn't need testing since the manufacturer has tested it. Like a new car doesn't need a MOT for 3 years.
and it wasn't enough time as they wanted everything tested every year.
So it's been a fuck you regarding us PAT testing.

Yes I've watch big clive taking apart some of the dodgy chinese stuff from ebay.
For high speed filming, see The Slow Mo Guys. I think they have a Phantom camera that does a million FPS.1.5 KW loads although those were the size of a washing macine and had asbestos panels in them.20 FPS camera doesn't sound unusual.
We had 6.6MV van der graff and a 10ft diameter fly wheel that was used to keep it going.
We used to to test for lightning strikes on the concorde fuselage and filmed it using a 20 FPS camera
Sorry forgot the K so 20k FPS it had a large cinima type real like an old cine film camera 12" in diameter
made a hell of a racket when it started up. I never got to see it in action though, well not actually doing any filming.
I think it needed a major service.
See that of similar filming light traveling through a bottle of water, think it uses rotating mirrors .
as another teacher walked in and straight towards the "pylons" spanned across between two desks.When I was in high school our physics teacher set up a simulation of the national grid divided by 100, so 2.4V at the "houses" with an xmas tree light. There were actually very high voltage bare wires across the room and at once point she freaked outthis was just before my time here think it was ealry 70s.Are substations still oil filled? Those make a nice big fire when they get shorted.
Also had lots of high power high voltage stuff
Large oil filed transformers. Lots of interesting bits and pieces but all thrown out.
Don;t really know we're starting teaching power stuff again but using tesktop versions.
I remember my physics teacher dipping his hands in mercury to upturn tubes to measure air pressure and stuff,
he didn;t have much hair or many teeth , a good teacher.
I've been in a plane three times. Once was a Boeing 737 to Wales to buy a car off my girlfriend's husband, the other two were Cessnas I jumped out of.
I've been in a Cessna think that what it was on a 10min joy ride around yarmouth.
been on a couple of commercial flights sweden, greece & spain.

well not until I win the lottery, well I did a could of weeks ago but as usually I spent the lot on a canFFS, my home brew is a lot cheaper.
in the club £5.50 !
Local pub is £4.35 for a nice pint of adnams .
almost double my euro millions £2.40 win.You can actually win as little as £2.40?
Yeah won £30 a couple of times over the years.

we are going to try these even cheaper as we really only want just black and red (maybe green if we had to) to encourage the students to colour code.

https://www.rapidonline.com/r-tech-524603-pk-of-20-croc-leads-10-red-10-black-460mm-52-4603
£5.63 and free P&P
if we order today they'll be here on Monday
Mains plugs who buys them
Everything we buy comes with a moulded IEC plug,
We don't need to do that, I have over 200 IEC leads spare one breaks just replace it.
and a Euro plug too, which we recyle .I wasn't aware you can recycle plugs.
Not sure what happens they get put into a electrical equipment recycle bin or cage and collected .
We had German students who brought a load of kit with euro plugs. I asked if they needed adapters but they said if you stick a screwdriver in the earth hole you can get a euro plug to fit in a UK socket.
Our £144k euro kit came with IEC brick PSUs .
Well the FGs, PSUs, scopes and anything else we buy from our supplies does.I put one on my hair trimmer the other day, a parrot had got hold of it and chewed the wire, which I replaced. Moulded plugs are stupid, you can't move them to another wire.
I've not put a plug on a lead for over 6 years now, not even at home.
Never really needed to do that.
Eh? They come round every x years, if something doesn't have a label they test it, what's the problem?I've over 200 IEC leads and if we put a plug on anything college says it needs a PAT test cert which is £1.39So don't tell them you did it.
What about the pass/fail stickers the sig on the lable and the date of next test ?
Cost £7k last time they came to check our department.
They only found about 6 they failed mostly in admin offices.
I'll do it for a lot less than them.but have to wait until someone comes and does the test, it;s been 4 years since the last testsFuck that, I did that PAT testing myself. £80 for a PAT test machine. Takes you a couple of minutes to do it, less if you just put the sticker on it and assume it's fine.
Wanna come and do my lab with over 4500 and that's just what's on my oldish stock list.
They do it out of hours so start about 6pm.
We use them because they takes responsibility and have insurance so no-one in the college does should something go wrong.
Wanna remove all the from pan;es from under the desks to get to the plugs and scokets , and you won't get paid for doing these you have to do them in your spare time.Never happens.
Plus your name will go on as the resposible person if something goes wrong you'll need to prove it.
One tech. said they'd only do equipment they or their students make , provided the dept buy the tester. Well that was before covid .Seriously, you actually bother testing home made stuff?
Not heard anything since then.
yes and student made stuff.
I suggested the college should employ a PAT tester full time , we used to give someone 1 day a week to do just our departmentEvery year? Where the fuck did that come from? We did 4 years. And new stuff didn't need testing since the manufacturer has tested it. Like a new car doesn't need a MOT for 3 years.
and it wasn't enough time as they wanted everything tested every year.
So it's been a fuck you regarding us PAT testing.
I know but they wanted it that way, I did explain it to them think that's why it was stopped so they now have to decide what to do about PAT testing. Previously the college paid now each department has to pay from their own funds.

so I guess I spend up to about £50 a month via online tickets.
Depends how I feel and how much I've spent, so don;t really miss the money.

We don't need to do that, I have over 200 IEC leads spare one breaks just replace it.Wow. A throw away society. I used to replace the microswitches in mice!
and a Euro plug too, which we recyle .I wasn't aware you can recycle plugs.
Not sure what happens they get put into a electrical equipment recycle bin or cage and collected .Copper and other metals extraction would be the main thing I think. I guess there's a fair bit in the plug prongs. It amazes me it's worth recycling a circuit board.
We had German students who brought a load of kit with euro plugs. I asked if they needed adapters but they said if you stick a screwdriver in the earth hole you can get a euro plug to fit in a UK socket.
Our £144k euro kit came with IEC brick PSUs .What?
Not recently and if they do we replace it, all our irons have silicon leads so don;t melt easily, not had one for years.Well the FGs, PSUs, scopes and anything else we buy from our supplies does.
I've not put a plug on a lead for over 6 years now, not even at home. >> I put one on my hair trimmer the other day, a parrot had got hold of it and chewed the wire, which I replaced. Moulded plugs are stupid, you can't move them to another wire.
Never really needed to do that.Nobody has ever melted a wire with a soldering iron?
Eh? They come round every x years, if something doesn't have a label they test it, what's the problem?I've over 200 IEC leads and if we put a plug on anything college says it needs a PAT test cert which is £1.39So don't tell them you did it.
What about the pass/fail stickers the sig on the lable and the date of next test ?
Cost £7k last time they came to check our department.Wow, just do it yourself.
They only found about 6 they failed mostly in admin offices.
Some twat did our place once. Failed a PSU I had which had bare wires, at FIVE VOLTS! I just pulled the red sticker off and kept using it.
worked fine. If anyone was stupid enough to touch bare ires that's heir problem.I'll do it for a lot less than them.but have to wait until someone comes and does the test, it;s been 4 years since the last testsFuck that, I did that PAT testing myself. £80 for a PAT test machine. Takes you a couple of minutes to do it, less if you just put the sticker on it and assume it's fine.
Wanna come and do my lab with over 4500 and that's just what's on my oldish stock list.
They do it out of hours so start about 6pm.Fuck responsibility, just make it work. A colleague used an overhead projector (before digital, the acetate ones) where the bulb kept blowing for some unknown reason. He attached a big resistor inline with the power cord without even taping it up. It
We use them because they takes responsibility and have insurance so no-one in the college does should something go wrong.
Wanna remove all the from pan;es from under the desks to get to the plugs and scokets , and you won't get paid for doing these you have to do them in your spare time.Never happens.
Plus your name will go on as the resposible person if something goes wrong you'll need to prove it.
One tech. said they'd only do equipment they or their students make , provided the dept buy the tester. Well that was before covid .Seriously, you actually bother testing home made stuff?
Not heard anything since then.
yes and student made stuff.Why?! Do you have severe OCD?
I suggested the college should employ a PAT tester full time , we used to give someone 1 day a week to do just our departmentEvery year? Where the fuck did that come from? We did 4 years. And new stuff didn't need testing since the manufacturer has tested it. Like a new car doesn't need a MOT for 3 years.
and it wasn't enough time as they wanted everything tested every year. >> > So it's been a fuck you regarding us PAT testing.
I know but they wanted it that way, I did explain it to them think that's why it was stopped so they now have to decide what to do about PAT testing. Previously the college paid now each department has to pay from their own funds.Which is why in my department I just did it myself. £80 for a 2nd hand PAT tester off Ebay, and fuck all for a roll of pass stickers. I never used fail stickers.

we are going to try these even cheaper as we really only want just black and red (maybe green if we had to) to encourage the students to colour code.

if we order today they'll be here on Monday
Mains plugs who buys them
Everything we buy comes with a moulded IEC plug,
Mice don;t work at 230V , so there's no risk there,
but mice are a fiver hardly worth the time,
we have a box of old mice and keyboards.
Copper and other metals extraction would be the main thing I think. I guess there's a fair bit in the plug prongs. It amazes me it's worth recycling a circuit board.and a Euro plug too, which we recyle .I wasn't aware you can recycle plugs.
Not sure what happens they get put into a electrical equipment recycle bin or cage and collected .
yep.
But we did have awork experience girl in the other week and she checked through out box of old 74 series chips
unbent the legs etc.. and found about £300 quids worth of working chips.
What?We had German students who brought a load of kit with euro plugs. I asked if they needed adapters but they said if you stick a screwdriver in the earth hole you can get a euro plug to fit in a UK socket.
Our £144k euro kit came with IEC brick PSUs .
A kit of bits to teach power electronics at the desktop level 15 kits in total they are powered from a 12V PSU a bit like the ones you get with laptops, the have IEC sockets on them.
Not recently and if they do we replace it,Nobody has ever melted a wire with a soldering iron?Well the FGs, PSUs, scopes and anything else we buy from our supplies does.
I've not put a plug on a lead for over 6 years now, not even at home. >> >> I put one on my hair trimmer the other day, a parrot had got hold of it and chewed the wire, which I replaced. Moulded plugs are stupid, you can't move them to another wire.
Never really needed to do that.
all our irons have silicon leads so don;t melt easily, not had one for years. All irons have stands and we train them to use them.
Wow, just do it yourself.Eh? They come round every x years, if something doesn't have a label they test it, what's the problem?I've over 200 IEC leads and if we put a plug on anything college says it needs a PAT test cert which is £1.39So don't tell them you did it.

Cost £7k last time they came to check our department.
They only found about 6 they failed mostly in admin offices.
We did have someone that did that but he left and they didn't replace him.
If they want it done they'll have to replace him .
There's no way I'm checking nearly 5000 items, all get recorded etc...
Some twat did our place once. Failed a PSU I had which had bare wires, at FIVE VOLTS! I just pulled the red sticker off and kept using it.
We had that they failed 3 of the 24V irons because they said they were were showing the earth lead that had been exposed.
worked fine. If anyone was stupid enough to touch bare ires that's heir problem.Fuck responsibility, just make it work. A colleague used an overhead projector (before digital, the acetate ones) where the bulb kept blowing for some unknown reason.

Unfortunately the law doesn't see it that way.

Loads of old meters dating from the 60s in bakolite cases.
I did take a standard vairac and something else that I don;t know exacly what it is I just like the look of of.
Think it test HV transformers , somewhere in my loft now along with a couple of AVOs.
Not recently did a few years back.3 phases varaics with control wheels the size of car stearing wheels.Have you ever watched the Youtube channel from photonic induction? He loves to play with stuff like that.
Yes I've watch big clive taking apart some of the dodgy chinese stuff from ebay.
OK when you know it's dangerous that's what warning labels are for.No that's what common sense is for.
out as another teacher walked in and straight towards the "pylons" spanned across between two desks.Ah, several CCDs? I wondered why it made a noise.For high speed filming, see The Slow Mo Guys. I think they have a Phantom camera that does a million FPS.1.5 KW loads although those were the size of a washing macine and had asbestos panels in them.20 FPS camera doesn't sound unusual.
We had 6.6MV van der graff and a 10ft diameter fly wheel that was used to keep it going.
We used to to test for lightning strikes on the concorde fuselage and filmed it using a 20 FPS camera
Sorry forgot the K so 20k FPS it had a large cinima type real like an old cine film camera 12" in diameter
made a hell of a racket when it started up. I never got to see it in action though, well not actually doing any filming.
I think it needed a major service.
See that of similar filming light traveling through a bottle of water, think it uses rotating mirrors .
When I was in high school our physics teacher set up a simulation of the national grid divided by 100, so 2.4V at the "houses" with an xmas tree light. There were actually very high voltage bare wires across the room and at once point she freakedthis was just before my time here think it was ealry 70s.Are substations still oil filled? Those make a nice big fire when they get shorted.
Also had lots of high power high voltage stuff
Large oil filed transformers. Lots of interesting bits and pieces but all thrown out.
Don;t really know we're starting teaching power stuff again but using tesktop versions.
My chemistry teacher asked if anyone had a genuine gold ring. My friend did. It was dipped in nitric acid, which meant it was gold.
I remember my physics teacher dipping his hands in mercury to upturn tubes to measure air pressure and stuff,
he didn;t have much hair or many teeth , a good teacher.
Yes that was the old way of testing gold now they use fancy spectral analyses and can tell exactly what something is made from.You mean you aren't meant to bite it?
Unless you crash .It's a lot more fun than you'd think, you can steer it.I've been in a plane three times. Once was a Boeing 737 to Wales to buy a car off my girlfriend's husband, the other two were Cessnas I jumped out of.
I've been in a Cessna think that what it was on a 10min joy ride around yarmouth.
been on a couple of commercial flights sweden, greece & spain.
Never jumped out of any though,
I'll stick with simulators :-)Oh come on. I've done it twice. My friend broke her ankle one time, and I got my lines tangled up one time. No big deal.
well not until I win the lottery, well I did a could of weeks ago but as usually I spent the lot on a canFFS, my home brew is a lot cheaper.
in the club £5.50 !
Local pub is £4.35 for a nice pint of adnams .Far too expensive. For £20 I can make 50 litres of 23% alcohol.
Well if it tastes OK but I;ve tried others home brew even the local pub and that's quite rough hardly worth drinking.I just brew ethanol. I add the flavouring afterwards. You can brew it by feeding it apples, whatever, I just feed it sugar. And you don't need expensive brewing sugar either. Tate and Lyle from Tesco works fine.
And how much did you spend on tickets to achieve that?almost double my euro millions £2.40 win.You can actually win as little as £2.40?
Yeah won £30 a couple of times over the years.
No idea but IO don;t buy coffees from shops as some do everyday on their way to work,What a waste.
so I guess I spend up to about £50 a month via online tickets.
Depends how I feel and how much I've spent, so don;t really miss the money.

Mice don;t work at 230V , so there's no risk there,230V isn't a risk. I've had 6 shocks from it, it just makes you jump.
And I've yet to see 230V. I get 246V to my house. 230V is just some bullshit from the EU.
but mice are a fiver hardly worth the time,A switch costs less. Takes 2 minutes to open the mouse and solder a switch in. Very quick if you're doing a load at once.
we have a box of old mice and keyboards.
Copper and other metals extraction would be the main thing I think. I guess there's a fair bit in the plug prongs. It amazes me it's worth recycling a circuit board.and a Euro plug too, which we recyle .I wasn't aware you can recycle plugs.
Not sure what happens they get put into a electrical equipment recycle bin or cage and collected .
yep.
But we did have awork experience girl in the other week and she checked through out box of old 74 series chipsThose were invented in 1966, WTF was worth that much?
unbent the legs etc.. and found about £300 quids worth of working chips.
sockets, sometimes they'd just use a screwdriver.What?We had German students who brought a load of kit with euro plugs. I asked if they needed adapters but they said if you stick a screwdriver in the earth hole you can get a euro plug to fit in a UK socket.
Our £144k euro kit came with IEC brick PSUs .
A kit of bits to teach power electronics at the desktop level 15 kits in total they are powered from a 12V PSU a bit like the ones you get with laptops, the have IEC sockets on them.Yeah most stuff was IEC at my uni, but the Germans came in with loads of equipment, and their IEC leads had Euro plugs. Sometimes they'd come and swap them for some UK ones I had a huge box of, sometimes I'd give them an extension strip with Euro
We got Dell computers once with bricks, for a desktop! They were huge, with a very thick 12V cable to the computer. Trust Dell to do something differently for no reason.
Aha, so you do replace wires.Not recently and if they do we replace it,Nobody has ever melted a wire with a soldering iron?Well the FGs, PSUs, scopes and anything else we buy from our supplies does.I put one on my hair trimmer the other day, a parrot had got hold of it and chewed the wire, which I replaced. Moulded plugs are stupid, you can't move them to another wire.
I've not put a plug on a lead for over 6 years now, not even at home.
Never really needed to do that.
all our irons have silicon leads so don;t melt easily, not had one for years.Yeah but the wire always gets in the way when you're using it.
All irons have stands and we train them to use them.
Wow, just do it yourself.Eh? They come round every x years, if something doesn't have a label they test it, what's the problem?I've over 200 IEC leads and if we put a plug on anything college says it needs a PAT test cert which is £1.39So don't tell them you did it.
What about the pass/fail stickers the sig on the lable and the date of next test ?
Cost £7k last time they came to check our department.
They only found about 6 they failed mostly in admin offices.
We did have someone that did that but he left and they didn't replace him. If they want it done they'll have to replace him .Seriously it doesn't take long. Do it on overtime and get more beer money.
There's no way I'm checking nearly 5000 items, all get recorded etc...
Well any lead that isn't double insulated is an instant fail according to PAT testing.Some twat did our place once. Failed a PSU I had which had bare wires, at FIVE VOLTS! I just pulled the red sticker off and kept using it.
We had that they failed 3 of the 24V irons because they said they were were showing the earth lead that had been exposed.Yes earth is well known to be dangerous, zero volts can be fatal.
but have to wait until someone comes and does the test, it;s been 4 years since the last testsFuck that, I did that PAT testing myself. £80 for a PAT test machine. Takes you a couple of minutes to do it, less if you just put the sticker on it and assume it's fine.
It worked fine. If anyone was stupid enough to touch bare ires that's heir problem.Fuck responsibility, just make it work. A colleague used an overhead projector (before digital, the acetate ones) where the bulb kept blowing for some unknown reason. He attached a big resistor inline with the power cord without even taping it up.I'll do it for a lot less than them.
Wanna come and do my lab with over 4500 and that's just what's on my oldish stock list.
They do it out of hours so start about 6pm.
We use them because they takes responsibility and have insurance so no-one in the college does should something go wrong.
Unfortunately the law doesn't see it that way.The law never gets involved with things like that.
Why?! Do you have severe OCD?Wanna remove all the from pan;es from under the desks to get to the plugs and scokets , and you won't get paid for doing these you have to do them in your spare time.Never happens.
Plus your name will go on as the resposible person if something goes wrong you'll need to prove it.

Look up the price of 74HC series. Most are at least 40p each. we buy them in 100s of each type,
mostly 00, 04, 32, 74, 86 .

The pigs aren't so mean around here. They do have an obsession with seatbelts though.That's handy we used to have someone an any old iron bloke called Tom the Tutt he used to collect all our scape stuff.There's a van round here with a megaphone that shouts "any old scrap metal?" He doesn't even have a recording, as he changes what he says if he spots someone. He took a chest freezer off me.
Ours disapeared years ago he kept getting tiuckets for his unsafe lorry loads , he seemd to over load it and broke down many times in the main road.
Maybe the police got his licence revoked or something, he sort of disapeard one day couldnt; contact him or anything.
well he used to block part of Mile End road which is normally very busy .
Yes one lane couldn't be used until it was towed away.
He must park to load and off load,
Who gives a shit , are you now claiming that rules need to be followed.
and then there's traffic lights .You can't get him into trouble for stopping at lights? WTF?
No but if he can;t get his vehicle moving because it's overloaded then you can.
It says in the instructions not to put your head closer than 2 feet from it.No that's what common sense is for.I like dodgy Chinese stuff, cheap and simple. Like the shower head with a live heating coil in it. I'm not a girl, I'm not scared of dangerous stuff.He's back, and has made more videos. Or for more serious things, Big Clive.I wished we'd kept some of that stuff would be worth quite a bit now.I got a few old meters dating back to 1930 form Ebay, for as little as £15. One is electrostatic.
I wanted to keep the jabobs ladder that was lent out to the film set for young frankiestien the one that sting was in.
Loads of old meters dating from the 60s in bakolite cases.
I did take a standard vairac and something else that I don;t know exacly what it is I just like the look of of.
Think it test HV transformers , somewhere in my loft now along with a couple of AVOs.
Not recently did a few years back.3 phases varaics with control wheels the size of car stearing wheels.Have you ever watched the Youtube channel from photonic induction? He loves to play with stuff like that.
Yes I've watch big clive taking apart some of the dodgy chinese stuff from ebay.
OK when you know it's dangerous that's what warning labels are for.
Common sense would mean you should be able to adjust the shower head without risking electrocution.
So how to you adjust it ? most showers I;ve seen you can adjust the head even remove it so yuo can direct it where you want.
Or if you have gold fillings.Yes that was the old way of testing gold now they use fancy spectral analyses and can tell exactly what something is made from.You mean you aren't meant to bite it?
Can do but it's not a good test especially with silver .
She did, into a rock in the middle of a field. AFTER landing. The chute took off again due to her clumsiness and she went flying backwards. It was funny for me to watch from above.Unless you crash .Oh come on. I've done it twice. My friend broke her ankle one time, and I got my lines tangled up one time. No big deal.It's a lot more fun than you'd think, you can steer it.I've been in a plane three times. Once was a Boeing 737 to Wales to buy a car off my girlfriend's husband, the other two were Cessnas I jumped out of.
I've been in a Cessna think that what it was on a 10min joy ride around yarmouth.
been on a couple of commercial flights sweden, greece & spain.
Never jumped out of any though,
I'll stick with simulators :-)
So who paid for the damage ?
But you're called Whisky Dave. You mean you've abandoned the drink? WTF?well not until I win the lottery, well I did a could of weeks ago but as usually I spent the lot on a canFFS, my home brew is a lot cheaper.
in the club £5.50 !
I just brew ethanol. I add the flavouring afterwards. You can brew it by feeding it apples, whatever, I just feed it sugar. And you don't need expensive brewing sugar either. Tate and Lyle from Tesco works fine.Local pub is £4.35 for a nice pint of adnams .Far too expensive. For £20 I can make 50 litres of 23% alcohol.
Well if it tastes OK but I;ve tried others home brew even the local pub and that's quite rough hardly worth drinking.
Can't be bothered , I don;t really drink much now anyway I also perfer to decide what I feel like drinking
sometimes ale sometimes lager sometimes I just have a few spirits.
Well it was the way people ID'd me in the club a nickname but when they got a bar friends said hi whisky dave I said yeah cheers but no ice thanks. They sort of stopped using that name in pubs and clubs and reverted to just dave.
The chances of that are 1 in a few million. So er.... buy a few million tickets and oh wait.What a waste.And how much did you spend on tickets to achieve that?almost double my euro millions £2.40 win.You can actually win as little as £2.40?
Yeah won £30 a couple of times over the years.
No idea but IO don;t buy coffees from shops as some do everyday on their way to work,
so I guess I spend up to about £50 a month via online tickets.
Depends how I feel and how much I've spent, so don;t really miss the money.
I won £65 on the 17th july, my highest ever :-)
Be nice to win a few million then I can buy my own brewery
People have won large amounts I don;t expect to but then again I don;t expect to be hit by lightning either,
360 people became millionaires via the lottery in 2021.
I think there's more chance of me winning a million than you dating Miley Cyrus but nothing wrong with having a fantasy is there.
Aha, so you do replace wires.Not recently and if they do we replace it,Nobody has ever melted a wire with a soldering iron?Well the FGs, PSUs, scopes and anything else we buy from our supplies does.I put one on my hair trimmer the other day, a parrot had got hold of it and chewed the wire, which I replaced. Moulded plugs are stupid, you can't move them to another wire.
I've not put a plug on a lead for over 6 years now, not even at home.
Never really needed to do that.
Cables not the individual live/earth/neutral wires.That's what I meant, but if you change the cable, you need to change the plug if it's moulded crap.
But the PSUs on the irons up up on a shelf only the iron lead is at desk level.Expensive bullshit. I've got a digitally controlled soldering iron, 80W, tiny thing the size of an 18W iron. Control is on the side. Heats up in seconds. Only cost about £15.
we have about 30 of these, ordered another 3 last week. https://onecall.farnell.com/antex/690d/soldering-station-digital/dp/SD01910?ost=690d-digital-soldering-station&cfm=true
all our irons have silicon leads so don;t melt easily, not had one for years.Yeah but the wire always gets in the way when you're using it.
All irons have stands and we train them to use them.
Ours don'tThey must be magic wires.
kids and they helped out. Oops, no, that's illegal, they're not allowed to employ underage kids, they must have done it as a favour or work experience or something :-)Wow, just do it yourself.Eh? They come round every x years, if something doesn't have a label they test it, what's the problem?I've over 200 IEC leads and if we put a plug on anything college says it needs a PAT test cert which is £1.39So don't tell them you did it.

The place was being extended and renovated, so I kept volunteering for things nobody wanted or knew how to do. If I got bored I gave some cash to the
So checking just my lab would take about 3 weeks. working 7 hours a day.
Not if it was the earth or neutral, why would I fail that?

Takes you a couple of minutes to do it, less if you just put the sticker on it and assume it's fine.
Any fool can stick a sticker on, but they still need writing or printing out with the date (s) added.Doesn't take long, using cut and paste.
It worked fine. If anyone was stupid enough to touch bare ires that's heir problem.Fuck responsibility, just make it work.

He attached a big resistor inline with the power cord without even taping it up.Wanna come and do my lab with over 4500 and that's just what's on my oldish stock list.I'll do it for a lot less than them.
They do it out of hours so start about 6pm.
We use them because they takes responsibility and have insurance so no-one in the college does should something go wrong.
Not in a teaching environment.this was a teaching environment.
Unfortunately the law doesn't see it that way.The law never gets involved with things like that.
It does if I get killed at work next of kin get £100k it's in our contract of employment.The chance of that are minimal.

voltage. I guess I should be happy with high voltage, it means I can draw more power through the same cable. Maybe this is why Merkins have a transformer pole per house, sounds an expensive method though.And I've yet to see 230V. I get 246V to my house. 230V is just some bullshit from the EU.
around 241V at work, I've seen it as low as 235.Has anyone ever seen 230 or less? I asked for mine to be reduced as sometime it's over the 10% or whatever it is allowed, but they said if they adjusted the transformer tap, the other end of the street would be far too low, so I guess someone gets low
but mice are a fiver hardly worth the time,A switch costs less. Takes 2 minutes to open the mouse and solder a switch in. Very quick if you're doing a load at once.

Look up the price of 74HC series. Most are at least 40p each. we buy them in 100s of each type,So you had a box of decent hips with bent legs nobody bothered using?

sockets, sometimes they'd just use a screwdriver.Yeah most stuff was IEC at my uni, but the Germans came in with loads of equipment, and their IEC leads had Euro plugs. Sometimes they'd come and swap them for some UK ones I had a huge box of, sometimes I'd give them an extension strip with EuroWhat?We had German students who brought a load of kit with euro plugs. I asked if they needed adapters but they said if you stick a screwdriver in the earth hole you can get a euro plug to fit in a UK socket.
Our £144k euro kit came with IEC brick PSUs .
A kit of bits to teach power electronics at the desktop level 15 kits in total they are powered from a 12V PSU a bit like the ones you get with laptops, the have IEC sockets on them.
we bought the UK versions with UK instruction manuals. https://www.lucas-nuelle.com/316/apg/15828/UniTrain-System.htmThe Germans came in with 7 staff, 8 servers, and countless other stuff, we're not going to replace all that just for the sake of plugs. At least they don't use the pansy American voltage which made me blow up a printer (literally).
We got Dell computers once with bricks, for a desktop! They were huge, with a very thick 12V cable to the computer. Trust Dell to do something differently for no reason.
All our Dells have IEC sockets on the back.They (used to) make smaller desktops with the PSU outside them. The desktop actually hung on the back of the monitor. Stupid clumsy looking things. And too small to put a normal graphics card in etc.

She did, into a rock in the middle of a field. AFTER landing. The chute took off again due to her clumsiness and she went flying backwards. It was funny for me to watch from above.Unless you crash .Oh come on. I've done it twice. My friend broke her ankle one time, and I got my lines tangled up one time. No big deal.It's a lot more fun than you'd think, you can steer it.I've been in a plane three times. Once was a Boeing 737 to Wales to buy a car off my girlfriend's husband, the other two were Cessnas I jumped out of.
I've been in a Cessna think that what it was on a 10min joy ride around yarmouth.
been on a couple of commercial flights sweden, greece & spain.
Never jumped out of any though,
I'll stick with simulators :-)
So who paid for the damage ?What damage? She busted a few cabbages in the field, we didn't tell the farmer.
But you're called Whisky Dave. You mean you've abandoned the drink? WTF?well not until I win the lottery, well I did a could of weeks ago but as usually I spent the lot on a canFFS, my home brew is a lot cheaper.
in the club £5.50 !
I just brew ethanol. I add the flavouring afterwards. You can brew it by feeding it apples, whatever, I just feed it sugar. And you don't need expensive brewing sugar either. Tate and Lyle from Tesco works fine.Local pub is £4.35 for a nice pint of adnams .Far too expensive. For £20 I can make 50 litres of 23% alcohol.
Well if it tastes OK but I;ve tried others home brew even the local pub and that's quite rough hardly worth drinking.
Can't be bothered , I don;t really drink much now anyway I also perfer to decide what I feel like drinking
sometimes ale sometimes lager sometimes I just have a few spirits.
Well it was the way people ID'd me in the club a nickname but when they got a bar friends said hi whisky dave I said yeah cheers but no ice thanks. They sort of stopped using that name in pubs and clubs and reverted to just dave.There must have been a reason for that name.
The chances of that are 1 in a few million. So er.... buy a few million tickets and oh wait.What a waste.And how much did you spend on tickets to achieve that?almost double my euro millions £2.40 win.You can actually win as little as £2.40?
Yeah won £30 a couple of times over the years.
No idea but IO don;t buy coffees from shops as some do everyday on their way to work,
so I guess I spend up to about £50 a month via online tickets.
Depends how I feel and how much I've spent, so don;t really miss the money.
I won £65 on the 17th july, my highest ever :-)
Be nice to win a few million then I can buy my own brewery
People have won large amounts I don;t expect to but then again I don;t expect to be hit by lightning either,Exactly, no point in trying to do what will never happen.
360 people became millionaires via the lottery in 2021.Out of 65 million.
I think there's more chance of me winning a million than you dating Miley Cyrus but nothing wrong with having a fantasy is there.I don't buy Miley Cyrus tickets on the off chance she'll fuck me.

Mains plugs who buys them
Everything we buy comes with a moulded IEC plug,
We don't need to do that, I have over 200 IEC leads spare one breaks just replace it.
Mice don;t work at 230V , so there's no risk there,
people have died from electric shocks.
Most of the weak have already bred.
It comes down to resistance and where your heart happens to be in in cycle and if yuo can let go .
voltage. I guess I should be happy with high voltage, it means I can draw more power through the same cable. Maybe this is why Merkins have a transformer pole per house, sounds an expensive method though.Has anyone ever seen 230 or less? I asked for mine to be reduced as sometime it's over the 10% or whatever it is allowed, but they said if they adjusted the transformer tap, the other end of the street would be far too low, so I guess someone gets lowAnd I've yet to see 230V. I get 246V to my house. 230V is just some bullshit from the EU.
around 241V at work, I've seen it as low as 235.
No idea and of course it depends on how it's being measured and what with.
In the UK, the declared low voltage and tolerance for an electricity supply is 230 volts -6%, +10%. This gives an allowed voltage range of 216.2 volts to 253.0 volts.
However, throughout Europe the range is 230 volts -10%, +10%
Mice and keyboards can wear out faster than that. And I keep PCs going for 10 years. Shoving more memory and an SSD in can work wonders.but mice are a fiver hardly worth the time,A switch costs less. Takes 2 minutes to open the mouse and solder a switch in. Very quick if you're doing a load at once.
we have a box of old mice and keyboards.
Our computers tend to come with mice and keyboards , the PC's get replaced about every 4 years.
doesn't improve the processor or graphics card we put SSDs in ours .
When using programs that need high end graphics and processors it becomes a problem.
None of our lab PCS can run the 3D scanner we just bought , so we have one PC that it;s used on.
So you had a box of decent hips with bent legsThose were invented in 1966, WTF was worth that much?Copper and other metals extraction would be the main thing I think. I guess there's a fair bit in the plug prongs. It amazes me it's worth recycling a circuit board.and a Euro plug too, which we recyle .I wasn't aware you can recycle plugs.
Not sure what happens they get put into a electrical equipment recycle bin or cage and collected .
yep.
But we did have awork experience girl in the other week and she checked through out box of old 74 series chips
unbent the legs etc.. and found about £300 quids worth of working chips.
Look up the price of 74HC series. Most are at least 40p each. we buy them in 100s of each type,
mostly 00, 04, 32, 74, 86 .

Yes but with modern chips they don't need as much power for most computing.

That's what I meant, but if you change the cable, you need to change the plug if it's moulded crap.Aha, so you do replace wires.Not recently and if they do we replace it,Nobody has ever melted a wire with a soldering iron?Well the FGs, PSUs, scopes and anything else we buy from our supplies does.I put one on my hair trimmer the other day, a parrot had got hold of it and chewed the wire, which I replaced. Moulded plugs are stupid, you can't move them to another wire.
I've not put a plug on a lead for over 6 years now, not even at home.
Never really needed to do that.
Cables not the individual live/earth/neutral wires.
Never had a problem with a moulded plug.
But the PSUs on the irons up up on a shelf only the iron lead is at desk level.Expensive bullshit. I've got a digitally controlled soldering iron, 80W, tiny thing the size of an 18W iron. Control is on the side. Heats up in seconds. Only cost about £15.
we have about 30 of these, ordered another 3 last week.
https://onecall.farnell.com/antex/690d/soldering-station-digital/dp/SD01910?ost=690d-digital-soldering-station&cfm=true
They're cheap for a reason bet they don't perform as well.
They must be magic wires.all our irons have silicon leads so don;t melt easily, not had one for years.Yeah but the wire always gets in the way when you're using it.
All irons have stands and we train them to use them.
Ours don't
Not just better designed I guess.
kids and they helped out. Oops, no, that's illegal, they're not allowed to employ underage kids, they must have done it as a favour or work experience or something :-)Wow, just do it yourself.Eh? They come round every x years, if something doesn't have a label they test it, what's the problem?I've over 200 IEC leads and if we put a plug on anything college says it needs a PAT test cert which is £1.39So don't tell them you did it.
What about the pass/fail stickers the sig on the lable and the date of next test ?
Cost £7k last time they came to check our department.
They only found about 6 they failed mostly in admin offices.
We did have someone that did that but he left and they didn't replace him.
If they want it done they'll have to replace him .
There's no way I'm checking nearly 5000 items, all get recorded etc... >> >> Seriously it doesn't take long. Do it on overtime and get more beer money.
We don't get overtime and if we do we get time off inlue so no point.
So checking just my lab would take about 3 weeks. working 7 hours a day. >> No overtime? Arseholes. For 2 years I did about 30 hours overtime a week. Earned a bloody fortune. The place was being extended and renovated, so I kept volunteering for things nobody wanted or knew how to do. If I got bored I gave some cash to the
Problem with overtime is that you could in theory sit about doing nothing and claim you haven't enough time so volunteer for overtime. Some go in saturdays for special events and you get 1.2x or 1.5x if it's after 6pm , and they give you extra holidaysday(s) as 'payment'.
Not if it was the earth or neutral, why would I fail that? If it was the live I put a bit of tape round it.Well any lead that isn't double insulated is an instant fail according to PAT testing.Yes earth is well known to be dangerous, zero volts can be fatal.Some twat did our place once. Failed a PSU I had which had bare wires, at FIVE VOLTS! I just pulled the red sticker off and kept using it.
We had that they failed 3 of the 24V irons because they said they were were showing the earth lead that had been exposed.
Its the visual checks we do without needing the actual tester unit.
They didn't realise they were 24V irons they thought they were mains I suppose.
Of you've done testing you should know that is a fail if it ws a mains lead.
It's part of the IEE 17th edition electrical book thingy, legally that has to be followed.
It's part of the PAT testing procedure.
But you need top record more than that in the speed sheet, have to add the serial No. of the device and other details.Doesn't take long, using cut and paste.but have to wait until someone comes and does the test, it;s been 4 years since the last testsFuck that, I did that PAT testing myself. £80 for a PAT test machine. Takes you a couple of minutes to do it, less if you just put the sticker on it and assume it's fine.
Any fool can stick a sticker on, but they still need writing or printing out with the date (s) added.
up. It worked fine. If anyone was stupid enough to touch bare ires that's heir problem.Fuck responsibility, just make it work. A colleague used an overhead projector (before digital, the acetate ones) where the bulb kept blowing for some unknown reason. He attached a big resistor inline with the power cord without even taping itWanna come and do my lab with over 4500 and that's just what's on my oldish stock list.I'll do it for a lot less than them.
They do it out of hours so start about 6pm.
We use them because they takes responsibility and have insurance so no-one in the college does should something go wrong.
this was a teaching environment.
Not in a teaching environment.
The chance of that are minimal.Unfortunately the law doesn't see it that way.The law never gets involved with things like that.
It does if I get killed at work next of kin get £100k it's in our contract of employment.
So is getting hit buy lightning but it happens .

I just took a swig from my bottle of whisky and she said I'll call you whisky dave and that sort of stuck as her friends started calling me whisky dave, and I used that when I started my on-line club blog around 1996.

Bit difficult in London.The council should make roads fit for purpose in the first place.

No but if he can;t get his vehicle moving because it's overloaded then you can.

Exactly, no point in trying to do what will never happen.The chances of that are 1 in a few million. So er.... buy a few million tickets and oh wait.What a waste.And how much did you spend on tickets to achieve that?almost double my euro millions £2.40 win.You can actually win as little as £2.40?

It happens to some.Very few.
360 people became millionaires via the lottery in 2021.Out of 65 million.
Not sure where you get that from ,67 million in the UKYip, I was close.
and loads of them are kids not old enough to buy tickets, and like you not everyone buys tickets.Kids get tickets.
I think there's more chance of me winning a million than you dating Miley Cyrus but nothing wrong with having a fantasy is there.I don't buy Miley Cyrus tickets on the off chance she'll fuck me.
Do you go to the sorts of places she goes, well I go to clubs where I meet girls of my preference(s) , that's where I've met most of my girlfriends, and friends for that matter.No I can't stand clubs, I prefer going out out, to scenery. Ever had sex in a waterfall?

low voltage. I guess I should be happy with high voltage, it means I can draw more power through the same cable. Maybe this is why Merkins have a transformer pole per house, sounds an expensive method though.Has anyone ever seen 230 or less? I asked for mine to be reduced as sometime it's over the 10% or whatever it is allowed, but they said if they adjusted the transformer tap, the other end of the street would be far too low, so I guess someone getsAnd I've yet to see 230V. I get 246V to my house. 230V is just some bullshit from the EU.
around 241V at work, I've seen it as low as 235.
No idea and of course it depends on how it's being measured and what with.Voltage can be measured very accurately with any multimeter.
Current with my clamp meter seems to be unreliable though, even though the cheap thing I got to sense the current coming in to the house is spot on.
In the UK, the declared low voltage and tolerance for an electricity supply is 230 volts -6%, +10%. This gives an allowed voltage range of 216.2 volts to 253.0 volts.They refused to fix my confirmed 256V as it would make the other end of the street under 216.2. Short of adding another transformer or thickening the cables, nothing they could do.
However, throughout Europe the range is 230 volts -10%, +10%
Mice and keyboards can wear out faster than that. And I keep PCs going for 10 years. Shoving more memory and an SSD in can work wonders.but mice are a fiver hardly worth the time,A switch costs less. Takes 2 minutes to open the mouse and solder a switch in. Very quick if you're doing a load at once.
we have a box of old mice and keyboards.
Our computers tend to come with mice and keyboards , the PC's get replaced about every 4 years.
doesn't improve the processor or graphics card we put SSDs in ours .A graphics card is the easiest thing to replace.
When using programs that need high end graphics and processors it becomes a problem.
None of our lab PCS can run the 3D scanner we just bought , so we have one PC that it;s used on.
ROFL! That typo is funny.So you had a box of decent hips with bent legsThose were invented in 1966, WTF was worth that much?Copper and other metals extraction would be the main thing I think. I guess there's a fair bit in the plug prongs. It amazes me it's worth recycling a circuit board.and a Euro plug too, which we recyle .I wasn't aware you can recycle plugs.
Not sure what happens they get put into a electrical equipment recycle bin or cage and collected .
yep.
But we did have awork experience girl in the other week and she checked through out box of old 74 series chips
unbent the legs etc.. and found about £300 quids worth of working chips.
Look up the price of 74HC series. Most are at least 40p each. we buy them in 100s of each type,
mostly 00, 04, 32, 74, 86 .
nobody bothered using?
well about 30% of them didn't work, when tested.Ah, she had more time on her hands than others?
sockets, sometimes they'd just use a screwdriver.Yeah most stuff was IEC at my uni, but the Germans came in with loads of equipment, and their IEC leads had Euro plugs. Sometimes they'd come and swap them for some UK ones I had a huge box of, sometimes I'd give them an extension strip with EuroWhat?We had German students who brought a load of kit with euro plugs. I asked if they needed adapters but they said if you stick a screwdriver in the earth hole you can get a euro plug to fit in a UK socket.
Our £144k euro kit came with IEC brick PSUs .
A kit of bits to teach power electronics at the desktop level 15 kits in total they are powered from a 12V PSU a bit like the ones you get with laptops, the have IEC sockets on them.
The Germans came in with 7 staff, 8 servers, and countless other stuff, we're not going to replace all that just for the sake of plugs. At least they don't use the pansy American voltage which made me blow up a printer (literally).
we bought the UK versions with UK instruction manuals.
https://www.lucas-nuelle.com/316/apg/15828/UniTrain-System.htm
Why did they need to bring in 7 staff why didn't you do it ?It was a group of researchers from Germany, they were already together. And they weren't just techs they were scientists with tech capabilities.
They (used to) make smaller desktops with the PSU outside them. The desktop actually hung on the back of the monitor. Stupid clumsy looking things. And too small to put a normal graphics card in etc.We got Dell computers once with bricks, for a desktop! They were huge, with a very thick 12V cable to the computer. Trust Dell to do something differently for no reason.
All our Dells have IEC sockets on the back.
Yes but with modern chips they don't need as much power for most computing.Never seems to happen. Power consumption keeps on going up.

No it can;t I''ve tried it with various meters and you could get up to 3V differnce between a cheap plug-in power meter and our True RMS meters.
We bought True RMS meters because normal meters aren't true RMS and can give strange reading that don't come out right when you compare calculations with practice.
Current with my clamp meter seems to be unreliable though, even though the cheap thing I got to sense the current coming in to the house is spot on.
you can't tell whther something is spot on without a good sample rate.
Which is also the trouble with cheap meters that only sample the sine wave perhaps once every 1/3rd of a second.
Sample rate theory states that sampling rate should be 3 x the frequency of the wave you're measuring.
In the UK, the declared low voltage and tolerance for an electricity supply is 230 volts -6%, +10%.

even a phone has more computing power of a 486 with HD and 256 colour monitor.

and loads of them are kids not old enough to buy tickets, and like you not everyone buys tickets.Kids get tickets.
No I can't stand clubs, I prefer going out out, to scenery. Ever had sex in a waterfall?I think there's more chance of me winning a million than you dating Miley Cyrus but nothing wrong with having a fantasy is there.I don't buy Miley Cyrus tickets on the off chance she'll fuck me.
Do you go to the sorts of places she goes, well I go to clubs where I meet girls of my preference(s) , that's where I've met most of my girlfriends, and friends for that matter.
No, I'd hate to have to lay in the wet patch ;-)

Who gives a shit , are you now claiming that rules need to be followed.
Bit difficult in London.

And it would be a bit difficult to move tower bridge or make it wider.
Why put buildings so close together? But then your mayor is a Muslim.Shakespeare wrote works of fiction, of course they had lorries.
They were built like that since roman times.
They didn;t have many large lorries in shakespeare day well he never wrote about them
or having problems parking outside the globe theatre.
Maybe his wife was in the passenger seat.Where I park in the town centre blocks a bus, I find it amusing watching him try not to scratch my car, or more likely his bus.
Just how much weight would it take to stop a vehicle moving? The tyres would burst before that weight.and then there's traffic lights .You can't get him into trouble for stopping at lights? WTF?
No but if he can;t get his vehicle moving because it's overloaded then you can.
No idea but when I saw it leave it didnt look right one side was much lower than the other and black smoke came out of the exhaust and it made some strange noises.
No but he did have a large fat 'retarded' teenager that did all the lifting and he handed him some sweets and he was well happyWho cares if he's happy?
I often wondered if he was actually paid or just given treats like a well behaved dog.
I used to have a colleague who was so fat she was officially classed as disabled. She walked no more than 1mph. Her hefty BMW X5 or whatever their big 4x4 is tipped to one side when she got in. She would have flattened a Fiat Panda.
I't amazing just how large some people can get.It's amazing these people reproduce. Why would anyone fuck a fat person?
M'colleague got a special chair free under some disability law, he openly said "I'm not disabled, I'm fat, the normal chairs break". It's not a disability if you bring it on yourself.

gets low voltage. I guess I should be happy with high voltage, it means I can draw more power through the same cable. Maybe this is why Merkins have a transformer pole per house, sounds an expensive method though.Has anyone ever seen 230 or less? I asked for mine to be reduced as sometime it's over the 10% or whatever it is allowed, but they said if they adjusted the transformer tap, the other end of the street would be far too low, so I guess someoneAnd I've yet to see 230V. I get 246V to my house. 230V is just some bullshit from the EU.
around 241V at work, I've seen it as low as 235.
Voltage can be measured very accurately with any multimeter.
No idea and of course it depends on how it's being measured and what with.
No it can;t I''ve tried it with various meters and you could get up to 3V differnce between a cheap plug-in power meter and our True RMS meters.I've never found an inaccurate meter. I have a true RMS meter, a £100 multimeter from 1990, a £5 multimeter from a few years ago, and a couple of plug in power meters. Very accurate on voltage and they all agree.
We bought True RMS meters because normal meters aren't true RMS and can give strange reading that don't come out right when you compare calculations with practice.
Ignore the above, the clamp meter is spot on. I was only irritated by it a few weeks ago, I think something was wrong with the circuit and more current was flowing back through the return than should have been.Current with my clamp meter seems to be unreliable though, even though the cheap thing I got to sense the current coming in to the house is spot on.
They tend to do parachute jumps over flat areas, not heavy traffic on motorways.What damage? She busted a few cabbages in the field, we didn't tell the farmer.Or if you have gold fillings.Yes that was the old way of testing gold now they use fancy spectral analyses and can tell exactly what something is made from.You mean you aren't meant to bite it?
Can do but it's not a good test especially with silver .
She did, into a rock in the middle of a field. AFTER landing. The chute took off again due to her clumsiness and she went flying backwards. It was funny for me to watch from above.Unless you crash .Oh come on. I've done it twice. My friend broke her ankle one time, and I got my lines tangled up one time. No big deal.It's a lot more fun than you'd think, you can steer it.I've been in a plane three times. Once was a Boeing 737 to Wales to buy a car off my girlfriend's husband, the other two were Cessnas I jumped out of.
I've been in a Cessna think that what it was on a 10min joy ride around yarmouth.
been on a couple of commercial flights sweden, greece & spain.
Never jumped out of any though,
I'll stick with simulators :-)
So who paid for the damage ?
Guess yuo were lucky to have a field to land in.
Isn't that a bit health and softly surely if you land in front of a lorry doing 60 it's you faultI agree. But chutes cost money and most people do it for a laugh once and aren't that good at steering,
for not steering the chut properly.
However my instructor said I was the only person she'd ever seen to jump out of the plane completely fearless. I also landed right next to her in precisely the correct position. The other guys were 100 yards away at least. She was fucking gorgeous andgot drunk on site every night (they slept their in caravans). Unfortunately one of the other guys in my group was a 17 year old cute boy so he got laid and I didn't. She kept pinching his arse when showing us how to to do the correct jumping position in
ROTFPMSL!Well it was the way people ID'd me in the club a nickname but when they got a bar friends said hi whisky dave I said yeah cheers but no ice thanks. They sort of stopped using that name in pubs and clubs and reverted to just dave.There must have been a reason for that name.
Yes, I was in a club and my flatmates friends who was a stripper came and sat on my lap chatting to me
she said she knew loads of daves there's smelly dave, DJ dave, arsehole dave and she mentioned a few other daves,
I just took a swig from my bottle of whisky and she said I'll call you whisky dave and that sort of stuck as her friends started calling me whisky dave, and I used that when I started my on-line club blog around 1996.
So you're not the drunk I thought you were?
thought is a dangeous thing .I just do it to make me feel happy and to INCREASE my concentration. Ethanol, like glucose, is a fuel.
One thing I always stae to peoloe that try to get me into a drinking compition is that
I regard drinking as an art NOT a sport I don't do sport.
An amateur piss artist perhaps.
Very few.Exactly, no point in trying to do what will never happen.The chances of that are 1 in a few million. So er.... buy a few million tickets and oh wait.What a waste.And how much did you spend on tickets to achieve that?almost double my euro millions £2.40 win.You can actually win as little as £2.40?
Yeah won £30 a couple of times over the years.
No idea but IO don;t buy coffees from shops as some do everyday on their way to work,
so I guess I spend up to about £50 a month via online tickets.
Depends how I feel and how much I've spent, so don;t really miss the money.
I won £65 on the 17th july, my highest ever :-)
Be nice to win a few million then I can buy my own brewery
People have won large amounts I don;t expect to but then again I don;t expect to be hit by lightning either,
It happens to some.
I'm less than a few peopleBut chances are it'll be one of the other several million.
I wish I had a time machine or could see a few days into the future. First thing I'd do is win several lotteries. Or maybe mix things up a little bit to avoid detection, bit of stocks and shares too, horse racing, etc.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/woman-lottery-win-first-ticket-18th-birthday-teenager-canada-charlie-lagarde-quebec-a8277391.html
Why does the big cheque she's holding say $1K when she won a million?
Why wait till you're 18? My friends were buying them at 14. And cigarettes. I never saw the point in tobacco, marijuana is much better.Maybe because you need someone to buy them for you I won a £5 on the horses when I was about £ my gran put 50p on the4 national lottery for me.
Yip, I was close.360 people became millionaires via the lottery in 2021.Out of 65 million.
Not sure where you get that from ,67 million in the UK
But this july someone won £184 million just think if he hadn;t bought a ticket.You're an idiot. So one person wind, but millions throw away money.
He had the choice to buy a cup of coffee or a beer instead.
That's how I see things.
I wouldn't advise anyone to spend there last few quid on a ticket
and loads of them are kids not old enough to buy tickets, and like you not everyone buys tickets.Kids get tickets.
No I can't stand clubs, I prefer going out out, to scenery. Ever had sex in a waterfall?I think there's more chance of me winning a million than you dating Miley Cyrus but nothing wrong with having a fantasy is there.I don't buy Miley Cyrus tickets on the off chance she'll fuck me.

No, I'd hate to have to lay in the wet patch ;-)But the girl looks way sexier with rock hard nipples.

gets low voltage. I guess I should be happy with high voltage, it means I can draw more power through the same cable. Maybe this is why Merkins have a transformer pole per house, sounds an expensive method though.Has anyone ever seen 230 or less? I asked for mine to be reduced as sometime it's over the 10% or whatever it is allowed, but they said if they adjusted the transformer tap, the other end of the street would be far too low, so I guess someoneAnd I've yet to see 230V. I get 246V to my house. 230V is just some bullshit from the EU.
around 241V at work, I've seen it as low as 235.
I've never found an inaccurate meter. I have a true RMS meter, a £100 multimeter from 1990, a £5 multimeter from a few years ago, and a couple of plug in power meters. Very accurate on voltage and they all agree.Voltage can be measured very accurately with any multimeter.
No idea and of course it depends on how it's being measured and what with.
No it can;t I''ve tried it with various meters and you could get up to 3V differnce between a cheap plug-in power meter and our True RMS meters.
We bought True RMS meters because normal meters aren't true RMS and can give strange reading that don't come out right when you compare calculations with practice.
I'll have to check we have a multimeter cost £400 and soon to arrive about 200 £1.99 ones to give to students.I've never bought one under about a tenner because I wanted more ranges or something. The cheapest I have is "Digitek" (no model on it) from China. No current, only volts and ohms and continuity.
I've got 3 plugins to try but one of them was well out when measuring power.
Ignore the above, the clamp meter is spot on. I was only irritated by it a few weeks ago, I think something was wrong with the circuit and more current was flowing back through the return than should have been.Current with my clamp meter seems to be unreliable though, even though the cheap thing I got to sense the current coming in to the house is spot on.
I guess it depends what you mean by spot on and the usage.It's as accurate as the display. 0-600A at 0.1A intervals.

She did, into a rock in the middle of a field. AFTER landing. The chute took off again due to her clumsiness and she went flying backwards. It was funny for me to watch from above.Unless you crash .Oh come on. I've done it twice. My friend broke her ankle one time, and I got my lines tangled up one time. No big deal.It's a lot more fun than you'd think, you can steer it.I've been in a plane three times. Once was a Boeing 737 to Wales to buy a car off my girlfriend's husband, the other two were Cessnas I jumped out of.
I've been in a Cessna think that what it was on a 10min joy ride around yarmouth.
been on a couple of commercial flights sweden, greece & spain.
Never jumped out of any though,
I'll stick with simulators :-)
So who paid for the damage ?
Guess yuo were lucky to have a field to land in.
Isn't that a bit health and softly surely if you land in front of a lorry doing 60 it's you fault
for not steering the chut properly.
So charge them for it, they fuck the chute up they pay for it.
so the number of ripped chutes would be high. Even if you miss the lorry, the chute is often dragged behind you as you land, and tarmac isn't kind to chute fabric.
Where's the problem ?
got drunk on site every night (they slept their in caravans). Unfortunately one of the other guys in my group was a 17 year old cute boy so he got laid and I didn't. She kept pinching his arse when showing us how to to do the correct jumping position inHowever my instructor said I was the only person she'd ever seen to jump out of the plane completely fearless. I also landed right next to her in precisely the correct position. The other guys were 100 yards away at least. She was fucking gorgeous and
I just do it to make me feel happy and to INCREASE my concentration. Ethanol, like glucose, is a fuel.ROTFPMSL!Well it was the way people ID'd me in the club a nickname but when they got a bar friends said hi whisky dave I said yeah cheers but no ice thanks. They sort of stopped using that name in pubs and clubs and reverted to just dave.There must have been a reason for that name.
Yes, I was in a club and my flatmates friends who was a stripper came and sat on my lap chatting to me
she said she knew loads of daves there's smelly dave, DJ dave, arsehole dave and she mentioned a few other daves,
I just took a swig from my bottle of whisky and she said I'll call you whisky dave and that sort of stuck as her friends started calling me whisky dave, and I used that when I started my on-line club blog around 1996.
So you're not the drunk I thought you were?
thought is a dangeous thing .
One thing I always stae to peoloe that try to get me into a drinking compition is that
I regard drinking as an art NOT a sport I don't do sport.
An amateur piss artist perhaps.
flies use shit for fuel,
I tried a bit of meths once it was horrible nearly as bad as green chartreuse
But chances are it'll be one of the other several million.Very few.Exactly, no point in trying to do what will never happen.The chances of that are 1 in a few million. So er.... buy a few million tickets and oh wait.What a waste.And how much did you spend on tickets to achieve that?almost double my euro millions £2.40 win.You can actually win as little as £2.40?
Yeah won £30 a couple of times over the years.
No idea but IO don;t buy coffees from shops as some do everyday on their way to work,
so I guess I spend up to about £50 a month via online tickets. >> >> >> >> >> > Depends how I feel and how much I've spent, so don;t really miss the money.
I won £65 on the 17th july, my highest ever :-)
Be nice to win a few million then I can buy my own brewery
People have won large amounts I don;t expect to but then again I don;t expect to be hit by lightning either,
It happens to some.
I'm less than a few people
Only for the jackpot , a friend won just under £1k once, I won another £4.40 on friday.
I wish I had a time machine or could see a few days into the future. First thing I'd do is win several lotteries. Or maybe mix things up a little bit to avoid detection, bit of stocks and shares too, horse racing, etc.

Why does the big cheque she's holding say $1K when she won a million?
a 1000$, thousand (par semani $)
It's foreign
Why wait till you're 18? My friends were buying them at 14. And cigarettes. I never saw the point in tobacco, marijuana is much better.Maybe because you need someone to buy them for you I won a £5 on the horses when I was about £ my gran put 50p on the4 national lottery for me.
You're an idiot. So one person wind, but millions throw away money.Yip, I was close.360 people became millionaires via the lottery in 2021.Out of 65 million.
Not sure where you get that from ,67 million in the UK
But this july someone won £184 million just think if he hadn;t bought a ticket.
He had the choice to buy a cup of coffee or a beer instead.
That's how I see things.
I wouldn't advise anyone to spend there last few quid on a ticket
Millions piss money up the wall every week.
Millions subscribe to netflix, disney, + otheres. to watch more crap TV , millions vote for strictly
Millions pay a fortune to go to a football match and watch their team win lose or draw
when they could be watching it on TV.
But the girl looks way sexier with rock hard nipples.and loads of them are kids not old enough to buy tickets, and like you not everyone buys tickets.Kids get tickets.
No I can't stand clubs, I prefer going out out, to scenery. Ever had sex in a waterfall?I think there's more chance of me winning a million than you dating Miley Cyrus but nothing wrong with having a fantasy is there.I don't buy Miley Cyrus tickets on the off chance she'll fuck me.
Do you go to the sorts of places she goes, well I go to clubs where I meet girls of my preference(s) , that's where I've met most of my girlfriends, and friends for that matter.
No, I'd hate to have to lay in the wet patch ;-)
I quite like them dressed in PVC or latex , not so keen on leather.

You don;t know what went through you it's the current that kills,
voltage doesn't travel through you.
It's also varing every cycle from 0 to 340V.
My father (78) got one and said it was annoying. MY neighbour tradesman has had quite a few and the only one that harmed him was when he leapt off a ladder nad sprained his back.
Some people survived through WWI & WWII .
Some die as kids die as a result of guns in fact more children die in the USA via guns than even car accidents.
I've never been injured in a car accident.

so +- 100mA well our True RMS are 0.5mA at 0.7% with 5 digits resolution and we aren't limited to 50Hz sine I think it goes to 4KHz.
We had a research student that wanted a resoluition of 1pA had to send him away to find one
himself.

No but if he can;t get his vehicle moving because it's overloaded then you can.
No idea but when I saw it leave it didnt look right one side was much lower than the other and black smoke came out of the exhaust and it made some strange noises.
No but he did have a large fat 'retarded' teenager that did all the lifting and he handed him some sweets and he was well happy

You could always do a yuotube video to prove it.
You don;t know what went through you it's the current that kills,Yeah.... that's why touching my 300 amp car battery kills me more than a 13A socket.
voltage doesn't travel through you.Most people don't touch something briefly enough for that to matter.
It's also varing every cycle from 0 to 340V.
My father (78) got one and said it was annoying. MY neighbour tradesman has had quite a few and the only one that harmed him was when he leapt off a ladder nad sprained his back.
Some people survived through WWI & WWII .Only some. But most survive shocks.
It could be, nothing wrong with guns it;s just the type of person holding it is where the problem lies.Some die as kids die as a result of guns in fact more children die in the USA via guns than even car accidents.I've changed my mind on tat, it would be fun to own a gun.
I've never been injured in a car accident.Neither have I.
I've never had a sporting injury .It annoys me when people call a sprain an injury. An injury is something colliding with you.
;-POnly week people get injuried .What about month people?
someone gets low voltage. I guess I should be happy with high voltage, it means I can draw more power through the same cable. Maybe this is why Merkins have a transformer pole per house, sounds an expensive method though.Has anyone ever seen 230 or less? I asked for mine to be reduced as sometime it's over the 10% or whatever it is allowed, but they said if they adjusted the transformer tap, the other end of the street would be far too low, so I guessAnd I've yet to see 230V. I get 246V to my house. 230V is just some bullshit from the EU.
around 241V at work, I've seen it as low as 235.
what.I've never bought one under about a tenner because I wanted more ranges or something. The cheapest I have is "Digitek" (no model on it) from China. No current, only volts and ohms and continuity.I've never found an inaccurate meter. I have a true RMS meter, a £100 multimeter from 1990, a £5 multimeter from a few years ago, and a couple of plug in power meters. Very accurate on voltage and they all agree.Voltage can be measured very accurately with any multimeter.
No idea and of course it depends on how it's being measured and what with.
No it can;t I''ve tried it with various meters and you could get up to 3V differnce between a cheap plug-in power meter and our True RMS meters.
We bought True RMS meters because normal meters aren't true RMS and can give strange reading that don't come out right when you compare calculations with practice.
I'll have to check we have a multimeter cost £400 and soon to arrive about 200 £1.99 ones to give to students.
I've got 3 plugins to try but one of them was well out when measuring power.
We splashed out more than I thought as we wanted contininty too https://onecall.farnell.com/duratool/d03047/multimeter-digital/dp/3498310?st=d03047That's a fucking good meter. They've probably improved since I bought mine 10 years ago. That one even tests transistors, I had to spend £100 to get one that did that back in the mid 90s. Still got it. Micronta from Tandy, rebadged something, I forget
think we got a better price under £2.75
It's as accurate as the display. 0-600A at 0.1A intervals.Ignore the above, the clamp meter is spot on. I was only irritated by it a few weeks ago, I think something was wrong with the circuit and more current was flowing back through the return than should have been.Current with my clamp meter seems to be unreliable though, even though the cheap thing I got to sense the current coming in to the house is spot on.
I guess it depends what you mean by spot on and the usage.
so +- 100mA well our True RMS are 0.5mA at 0.7% with 5 digits resolution and we aren't limited to 50Hz sine I think it goes to 4KHz.But do they clamp?
We had a research student that wanted a resoluition of 1pA had to send him away to find oneGive him a gold leaf electroscope.

so the number of ripped chutes would be high. Even if you miss the lorry, the chute is often dragged behind you as you land, and tarmac isn't kind to chute fabric.There isn't actually, as you said, simply charge a deposit at the start which you get back if your chute is still usable.
Where's the problem ?
That would put people off I guess , I've no idea what a chute might cost.
Alcohol tastes better than shit. Although a colleague once asked if I was drinking piss at lunchtime, I said "no it's applejuice", it was actually cider. Alcohol at work probably wasn't allowed!I just do it to make me feel happy and to INCREASE my concentration. Ethanol, like glucose, is a fuel.
flies use shit for fuel,
We allow it at parties it's usually crap stuff those.
When we had a department BBQ last month they asked if anyone had any dietary requirements,
I said a good single malt, but all they had was cans of crap standard beer cider bitter and a few wines which were cheap,
not a spirit in sight. :-(
I tried a bit of meths once it was horrible nearly as bad as green chartreuseCan you still see?
Yep it was when I was about 14. I'd heard on TV that people drank meths , I had some I used for a model traction engine just dipped my finger in and tried it on my tongue.
Obviously most people lose money, since there's the profits of the company and the "charities" they donate to.I'm less than a few peopleBut chances are it'll be one of the other several million.
Only for the jackpot , a friend won just under £1k once, I won another £4.40 on friday.
Yes I know but there's always a chance not many other ways of getting a cash windfall.
I wish I had a time machine or could see a few days into the future. First thing I'd do is win several lotteries. Or maybe mix things up a little bit to avoid detection, bit of stocks and shares too, horse racing, etc.
For me that's proof that time travel can't be done.
No it isn't. Probably just not invented yet.
Why travel back all the way to now when the lottery winnings are smaller?
Invest it, I;d go back and offer say van goth a few shilling for his sunflower or other stuff that no one wanted to buy.
I don;t think he sold any pictures of his own during his life.
So did she win a million US dollars or a million of her own worthless currency?https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/woman-lottery-win-first-ticket-18th-birthday-teenager-canada-charlie-lagarde-quebec-a8277391.html
Why does the big cheque she's holding say $1K when she won a million?
a 1000$, thousand (par semani $)
It's foreign
I think it;s a reasonable amount even after converting to UK about £600 I think Canadian is similar to US.
I heard someone won $1.3T in the US recently.
When I was 13, my friend smoked heavily (also 13). We walked to the local shop before school and he just walked in and bought them, no questions asked.Why wait till you're 18? My friends were buying them at 14. And cigarettes. I never saw the point in tobacco, marijuana is much better.Maybe because you need someone to buy them for you I won a £5 on the horses when I was about £ my gran put 50p on the4 national lottery for me.
The problem comes when you have to claim the winnings, just ask an adult to do it should be OK.
When I was 18 I bought tonnes of alcohol for my friend (16)'s little brother (14). He got pissed, made a council house girl pregnant, then left the country.
And you've just joined them.You're an idiot. So one person wind, but millions throw away money.Yip, I was close.360 people became millionaires via the lottery in 2021.Out of 65 million.
Not sure where you get that from ,67 million in the UK
But this july someone won £184 million just think if he hadn;t bought a ticket.
He had the choice to buy a cup of coffee or a beer instead.
That's how I see things.
I wouldn't advise anyone to spend there last few quid on a ticket
Millions piss money up the wall every week.
Millions subscribe to netflix, disney, + otheres. to watch more crap TV , millions vote for strictly
Millions pay a fortune to go to a football match and watch their team win lose or draw
when they could be watching it on TV.
I don;t subscribe to any streaming channels
As for the TV, piratebay is free.
yeah a friend dos that I have a disc of his with 100s of films never bothered watching any of them though.
I don't like plastic, it's too artificial. Skimpy denim is better.But the girl looks way sexier with rock hard nipples.
I quite like them dressed in PVC or latex , not so keen on leather.

Never counted the longest was about 1 year, most were more like holiday romances.

Well it was fun.
One french GF said that when she gets married and has children she doesn't want her husband to be the father of her children as that would give him power over her.
She wasn't referring to me, well I don't think so.
They already fucking tax sugar! Let people eat what they like!Maybe most do, but it's between 30-70% is genetic and yuo get it from patents.I didn't know fat was patented :-)

trouble is that it starts when young , I don;t remember many take-aways when I was at school now they are everywhere and I see kids at lunchtime getting chicken & chips and drinking loads of sugary drinks.
It's why so many kids are fat and with parent driving them to school if they live more than 500 metres away.

It's foreign
I think it;s a reasonable amount even after converting to UK about £600 I think Canadian is similar to US.T? Isn't that almost as much as the net worth of Musk?
I heard someone won $1.3T in the US recently.

John would never know he had kids so wouldn't be a problem I assume.And why did you go out with them if they were annoying?
Well it was fun.Wow. She wants to get pregnant with John and marry Jim? What happens when John wants to see the kids?
One french GF said that when she gets married and has children she doesn't want her husband to be the father of her children as that would give him power over her.
She wasn't referring to me, well I don't think so.
One of my girlfriends was married with 4 kids. She kept thinking about leaving him for me, but living in a seperate house nearby as two people, 15 parrots, and 4 kids in one house would be a fucking mess.

It's why so many kids are fat and with parent driving them to school if they live more than 500 metres away.

I'm sure thats possible on piss lagar with food over a period of time.I once drunk 7 pints of lager then drove 40 miles home. I drove perfectly fine.Alcohol tastes better than shit. Although a colleague once asked if I was drinking piss at lunchtime, I said "no it's applejuice", it was actually cider. Alcohol at work probably wasn't allowed!I just do it to make me feel happy and to INCREASE my concentration. Ethanol, like glucose, is a fuel.
flies use shit for fuel,
We allow it at parties it's usually crap stuff those.

I said a good single malt, but all they had was cans of crap standard beer cider bitter and a few wines which were cheap,
not a spirit in sight. :-(
Decided not to go, not always keen on these work do's
Never sure who to trust , and some can't talk about anything other than work.

Only for the jackpot , a friend won just under £1k once, I won another £4.40 on friday.
Yes I know but there's always a chance not many other ways of getting a cash windfall.
I wish I had a time machine or could see a few days into the future. First thing I'd do is win several lotteries. Or maybe mix things up a little bit to avoid detection, bit of stocks and shares too, horse racing, etc.

Agreed.I agree. But chutes cost money and most people do it for a laugh once and aren't that good at steering,
So charge them for it, they fuck the chute up they pay for it.
so the number of ripped chutes would be high. Even if you miss the lorry, the chute is often dragged behind you as you land, and tarmac isn't kind to chute fabric.There isn't actually, as you said, simply charge a deposit at the start which you get back if your chute is still usable.
Where's the problem ?
That would put people off I guess , I've no idea what a chute might cost.
Depends on how likely it was meant to happen.
As putting a deposit down on something does indicate a likelyhood of something going tits up.
A little like insurance.
But what if the wind blows you off course of the chute wasn;t corectly packed in the first place.
They were all at once at a work lunch. I don't recall eating much as the food wasn't the nicest.I'm sure thats possible on piss lagar with food over a period of time.I once drunk 7 pints of lager then drove 40 miles home. I drove perfectly fine.Alcohol tastes better than shit. Although a colleague once asked if I was drinking piss at lunchtime, I said "no it's applejuice", it was actually cider. Alcohol at work probably wasn't allowed!I just do it to make me feel happy and to INCREASE my concentration. Ethanol, like glucose, is a fuel.
flies use shit for fuel,
We allow it at parties it's usually crap stuff those.
I'ts also a perception on what is perfectly fine.
Most people that drink and drive never really think oh I;'m too drunk to drive.
I can get sleepy after drinking a lot, used to do that at work too, falling asleep after lunchtime and that was after 5 pints of snakebite & black.
cleaning some grit out of my eye and doing an eyetest both for free in the hopes of a sale.I've never heard work talk at a work do. People go there to socialise and get away from work.When we had a department BBQ last month they asked if anyone had any dietary requirements,Why didn't you bring some?
I said a good single malt, but all they had was cans of crap standard beer cider bitter and a few wines which were cheap,
not a spirit in sight. :-(
Decided not to go, not always keen on these work do's
Never sure who to trust , and some can't talk about anything other than work.
Not here , most academics and researches it's thier life , they rarely talk about anything else.
I love the smell of it. Mind you I also love the smell of coffee, but to me it's tasteless.I guess that much won't harm you.I tried a bit of meths once it was horrible nearly as bad as green chartreuseCan you still see?
Yep it was when I was about 14. I'd heard on TV that people drank meths , I had some I used for a model traction engine just dipped my finger in and tried it on my tongue.
I expected it to taste nice with that purple/mauve colour a bit like ribina but was I shocked :-{}
I've looked directly at a welder a few times and it didn't blind me. Still got 100% eyesight according to specsavers, who were rather annoyed I have the eyes of a teenager (in vision quality, not sexyness) so they couldn't sell me any specs after
I wear reading glasses when on the computer, just makes things easier than enlarging the text a little.
Do you have poor eyesight?
Don;t think so, can't easily tell some colours on resistors without glasses.
I think it;'s lack of depth of field is the cause.
My brother has always work glasses well since leaving school.
I just by the cheap ones in Aldi or wherever they seem OK.
I have ridiculously high resolution eyesight, I can read the numbers on SMD devices from a fair distance when others are using magnifying glasses.Those can be easier to see than the grey text on 74 series chips.
For me that's proof that time travel can't be done.
No it isn't. Probably just not invented yet.
But if you can travel forward in time then the future has alreay happened. >> No, it will have happened when you get there, but not for someone who didn't travel. Time is not exactly the same everywhere.
It can't be like that as the place/person has to exist before you get there.
and take it out with interest.Good point, invest it in the past then go forwards and collect the interest. In fact all you need to do is take some money you have now, go back as far as you can when those coins/notes are still valid, pay it into a bank account, then go forwardsWhy travel back all the way to now when the lottery winnings are smaller?
Invest it, I;d go back and offer say van goth a few shilling for his sunflower or other stuff that no one wanted to buy.
I don;t think he sold any pictures of his own during his life.
Yeah I've got a few components in the lab maybe I'll build a time machine ;-)I found some 64kbit RAM chips, want them? 16 pin DIL.
Think I already have asome of those thanks.
This was back in about 2000 when I was 25. I've pretty much seen everything now, or something very similar to it. I rarely watch films, only thing I watch is comedy serieses like The Grand Tour, Clarksons Farm, etc.yeah a friend dos that I have a disc of his with 100s of films never bothered watching any of them though.When I worked at a university in the days before Piratebay, I ran an FTP server with 1000 users around the world. I got to see every single box office film before it was even in the cinema. I put a DVD writer in the server :-)
It's rare that I think oh I'd really like to see that
Only thing at the moment is the Orville on disney+I like girls in denim that's falling apart.
Why?https://www.gotceleb.com/wp-content/uploads/photos/ariel-winter/heading-to-a-salon-in-west-hollywood/Ariel-Winter-in-Skimpy-Denim-Shorts--18.jpgBut the girl looks way sexier with rock hard nipples.
I quite like them dressed in PVC or latex , not so keen on leather. >> >> >> I don't like plastic, it's too artificial. Skimpy denim is better.
I don;t like blue denim black is OK.
Not sure maybe it;s the sort that waer blue denim .
I'ts like a really don't like denim that was featured by dexis midnight runners , don't like track suits either.The cheap shit plastic ones (shell suits?) are usually worn by people more likely to want a shag.
The ali-G type , I just find people in those funny.
I once jump started a car for a woman when her boyfriend had deliberately flattened the battery, and she asked if I wanted paid in sex! And of course I said yes, she was a bit older than me but really fit.
Rubbish. Why use your imagination when you can have the real thing?I don't see the point of all that plastic, they'd look better naked.Perhaps I should have gone to TG's last friday .What is TG's?

Well it was fun.
One french GF said that when she gets married and has children she doesn't want her husband to be the father of her children as that would give him power over her.
She wasn't referring to me, well I don't think so.

Yeah 4 kids , an Irish GF said she wanted to have 5 daughters as she was one of 5 girls.
Closests I;ve ever come to a heart attack was when she cuddeld up to me saying I'd really like 5 children.. all girls...
I wouldn;t of cared what gender they were but 5 is far too many I was thuinking cloers to zero.
I can't stand young girls, they're too egotistical. Boys are easier.
Nothing crap about it, I'm sure our bodies cope with anything we shove in there,They eat take aways to avoid the healthy tasteless shit the school tries to ram down their throats. Wasn't there a school on the news where parents were selling them burgers through the fence?They already fucking tax sugar! Let people eat what they like!Maybe most do, but it's between 30-70% is genetic and yuo get it from patents.I didn't know fat was patented :-)
Bring in the lard tax :-)
trouble is that it starts when young , I don;t remember many take-aways when I was at school now they are everywhere and I see kids at lunchtime getting chicken & chips and drinking loads of sugary drinks.
It's why so many kids are fat and with parent driving them to school if they live more than 500 metres away.
Yeah. trouble is crap food is taste , you just have to know .
Little evidence of that it's why so many are obsese.
after all animals in the wild often don't get a choice.
They do, animals can usually eat what is aviable if the right food suff doesn't exist then the species doesn't survive
It's what survival of the fitest really means it's not about who is the stonger indivudual.

What's your opinion on nudist camps then?Agreed. So what's all the fuss about?Ideal for peados, seems the catholic church also liked their young boys naked.Nudism and sex are not the same thing.
Neither is having sex and reproduction.
Some people can't control their emotions or acts.

No, I get a stiffy as soon as a woman gets naked. But that's when we're about to fuck. Being naked on a beach isn't sexual, it's natural.to one in France and there were 3000 people, of all ages from toddlers to OAPs, all completely starkers. And guess what, I never saw a single erection.
Why would you, a female friend asked me why do men find it sexier to see her in a very short skirt, and wearing a bikini bottom as knickers,
than when she's on a beach wearing the same bikini bottom.
I said it's probbaly down to what you almost see and imagination .
That's why I don't se nudist camps as sexual, they just don;t interest me.
Years ago people got excited about seeing ankels and then kneesIt's pathetic. Sex is natural and we should all be fucking anyone we see.
Pissing and shitting is natural and needs doing more often , but I wouldn;t want to see someone taking a dump next to me
while I was eating or having sex.
dad's mate was working on it.Where we did our sports was dug up hackney marches and is now part of teh olympic village in stratford.I did cross country which was out of the school grounds and along a track and a B road. Probably considered too dangerous nowadays (rolls eyes). My friend won the race. He cheated by getting a lift on the back of the bin lorry since his
ahead of them.we did that for cross country I got bored and waiting at traffic lights didn't really seem much like cross country, it bored me so I just walked most of the way, only sped up when the PE teachers was about.Me and a friend took a shortcut through a graveyard and cut 2 miles off the route. We just slowed down so we were last then hopped over the wall when the rest couldn't see us. There were a few questions from others on how we were suddenly
I'm the opposite, watching is boring, participating is the fun. You don't sit and watch people playing computer games, you don't sit and watch them play monopoly. You do it yourself.Why did you pretend to be knackered then?I always held way back and made sure I looked knacked the top 20 got singled out to join the cross country inter-school club evens and did extra training.We were given the option to do those things if we were good, we never had to.
They didn't force anyone but if you're not good at something yuo tend not to enjoy it either.
Didn't want to draw attention as to why I didn't you try harder.

They reflect too much.I have ridiculously high resolution eyesight, I can read the numbers on SMD devices from a fair distance when others are using magnifying glasses.Those can be easier to see than the grey text on 74 series chips.
Yes the light source is important..I like strip lights, no shadows.
you'll see different things. You wouldn't say "those things don't exist I can't see them". You know others are already seeing them and you will later. And of course you can change the speed of travel, or even go the other way.If you think of it as another dimension like distance, it all becomes clear. You're driving along a really long road, others are further ahead, others are further behind. You see different scenery to others. But you know when you get further along,No, it will have happened when you get there, but not for someone who didn't travel. Time is not exactly the same everywhere.For me that's proof that time travel can't be done.
No it isn't. Probably just not invented yet.
But if you can travel forward in time then the future has alreay happened.
It can't be like that as the place/person has to exist before you get there.
Yes people are already there at that point.And the same applies to time travel. If I'm about to go 5 years into the future, that future does already exist, it's just 5 years away in that dimension, and nobody you know from this time can see it yet unless they travel in time.
forwards and take it out with interest.Good point, invest it in the past then go forwards and collect the interest. In fact all you need to do is take some money you have now, go back as far as you can when those coins/notes are still valid, pay it into a bank account, then goWhy travel back all the way to now when the lottery winnings are smaller?

Not sure I'd bother.You're not right in the head. I can see her being a right horny thing in bed and doing it all night.
I do not understand the desire to be clothed, it just isn't natural.Not sure I'd be really interested there's one in Brighton. I know there's one in germany that a friends has been to.They aren't. They're the same as normal beaches but with more freedom and the ability to enjoy the looks of others.I once jump started a car for a woman when her boyfriend had deliberately flattened the battery, and she asked if I wanted paid in sex! And of course I said yes, she was a bit older than me but really fit.

TG is like that I was there once and one guy was wanking himself off while watching a couple hang weights to their genitals.Do you know what caused the heart attack?
One girl was laying on a cross and having dildos inserted into her by whoever wanted to, one bloke was being whipped.
someone in their twenties (I think) was kissing my girlfriends shoes apparently he had a shoe fetish, was well into it for about 20 mins we just found it funny.
Another guy who was wearing a blue miniskirt and nothing else had a heart attack and died it was in the news sometime in the 90s
I kept a cutout of the report but they got it wrong as they said he was in a nappy and he wasn't. I remember seeing him at some point sitting down, not sure if he was dead at that point though.
One girl had a shiny PVC nuns habit outfit on with the white hat, her eyes we visible and she'd cut holes where her tits were out and crotch
were showing and that was it, every other part of her body was covered up.
Do you watch naked attraction on TV ?Is that the blind date for naked people? I watched one and found it rather boring.

People have fallen asleep at the wheel.
I haven't but know someone that did. I think the beer was off I could hardly finish the first pint.
A few 100 years ago in london you could rent a place to sleep and the cheapest ones they stood you up tied a rope around you so you
wouldn;t fall down . They could pack more people in a room that way. think is was the 1700-1800s saw it on TV.

She wasn't referring to me, well I don't think so.
wouldn't be to difficult, but I did find the 'logic a bit odd, but she was french and female they all seems a bit weird,
well most of the ones I've met anyway.
I'd like one. Be better to give it your full attention.Like you can control if they're girls. Could have an abortion if they're the wrong one I guess.One of my girlfriends was married with 4 kids. She kept thinking about leaving him for me, but living in a seperate house nearby as two people, 15 parrots, and 4 kids in one house would be a fucking mess.
Yeah 4 kids , an Irish GF said she wanted to have 5 daughters as she was one of 5 girls.
Closests I;ve ever come to a heart attack was when she cuddeld up to me saying I'd really like 5 children.. all girls...
I wouldn;t of cared what gender they were but 5 is far too many I was thuinking cloers to zero.
I think 2 is a good number, 3 perhaps .
Little evidence of that it's why so many are obsese.That's the amount not the type.
it's the amount of fat, sugar and salt in processed food, that is the problem.
I doubt any animal knows which food is better for it. It eats what's available or tasty.after all animals in the wild often don't get a choice.
They do, animals can usually eat what is aviable if the right food suff doesn't exist then the species doesn't survive
It's what survival of the fitest really means it's not about who is the stonger indivudual.
They do they have senses and experience.
Some get it wrong, but generally in the wild they are OK.
They have eyes and a nose they can use.
One of your whips? How many do you got?Ah those were the days,They should bring back the belt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LIpFTM8q3s
Yeah I bought it one of my whips to enforce socail distancing ;-)
Just two, they were bought for me a sort of joke thing.Never really used them on anyone.
My housekey is attached to my wrist strap, a little RFID tag. For money you only need 1 card, or even just your phone.Clothes are irrational.Some people can't control their emotions or acts.What's your opinion on nudist camps then?
Don't really have one I went not my sort of thing I guess.
I use mine for keeping my keys 2 bunches, 4-6 cards, a bit of money and that's just to get to work.
were would o keep your phone ?
Don;t think I could cope this weather being naked pretty hot in london and the heat reflecting off the concrete .WTF? At 41C with clothes on you'd be soaked with sweat. Naked means it can evaporate. And your skin adjusts to UV levels, it's called a tan.
Then there's the risk of sunburn.
It's called being burnt, skin cancer.
Strange how the muslim countries cope with wearing lots of cloths in hot weather, it's actually cooler wearing things like cotten. Sweat keeps you cool.
When at work I need pockets for tools and all sorts of things.So wear a tool belt and nothing else. I guarantee you'll get laid or fired within the hour.
Can't imagine many jobs wwere clothes of some sort are an advantage.
No, I get a stiffy as soon as a woman gets naked. But that's when we're about to fuck. Being naked on a beach isn't sexual, it's natural.to one in France and there were 3000 people, of all ages from toddlers to OAPs, all completely starkers. And guess what, I never saw a single erection.
Why would you, a female friend asked me why do men find it sexier to see her in a very short skirt, and wearing a bikini bottom as knickers,

Not everyone plays football.
So what? Play something that interests you then.

It's lies damn lies and statistics. You can feel yourself concentrating better for the first few drinks before it goes downhill. It actually improves your health too unless you're more than FOUR times over the recommended amount.I'ts also a perception on what is perfectly fine.I know I'm not due to the quality of driving that ensued.
Most people that drink and drive never really think oh I;'m too drunk to drive.
Strange that , alcohol is known to affect people perception.
yeah the recommenced amount is a bit odd, I've only seen double once but didn;t feel as drunk as on a few other occasions.As I drink more far away things become slightly out of focus, but not bad enough cause a problem. I thought my sight was going until I realised it was ok on the rare occasion I was sober.
The RDA is good for you. Double the RDA is even better for you. Triple the RDA is the same for you as the RDA. Quadruple the RDA is the same as being T-Total. Only after that you go downhill.
OKI meant "done" not "one".I can get sleepy after drinking a lot, used to do that at work too, falling asleep after lunchtime and that was after 5 pints of snakebite & black.Ah sleep, sleep has been proven to cause as many accidents as drinking. Yet you don't see thousands one for sleepy driving.
It happens.
Inferior people. Why would you fall asleep when concentrating and not in a bed? Do you also do a shit when your trousers aren't down and you're not sitting on the throne?I cannot fall asleep at the wheel. I can only sleep when perfectly motionless and horizontal and not thinking about anything. Why on earth would you fall asleep when concentrating on the car and sitting upright!?
People have fallen asleep at the wheel.
I haven't but know someone that did. I think the beer was off I could hardly finish the first pint.I'd had to have missed a few night's sleep before that would work for me.
A few 100 years ago in london you could rent a place to sleep and the cheapest ones they stood you up tied a rope around you so you
wouldn;t fall down . They could pack more people in a room that way. think is was the 1700-1800s saw it on TV.
It must be a major inconvenience. I would never wear specs, I'd get contacts or laser surgery.Then you have poor eyesight.I wear reading glasses when on the computer, just makes things easier than enlarging the text a little.
Do you have poor eyesight?
Don;t think so, can't easily tell some colours on resistors without glasses.
Lots of people have poor eyesight then but it doesn;t stop most of us doing things.
Thought about both but laser surgery sometimes needs doing again after 5+ years.Don't you get varifocal contacts? Or do what my Aunt does. Contacts so distance is ok, then add glasses for short range stuff only, without having to remove the contacts.
I can really watch TV with reading glasses on so not sure I;'d like contacts for just reading.
Do the lenses look like you could buy two similar pairs of different power and swap one of the lenses over?I think it;'s lack of depth of field is the cause.Most common problem, the eye muscles weaken with age. Run Folding@Home they're doing research into eye muscles.
My brother has always work glasses well since leaving school.Yip, you just need to know the power of each lens required, no need for opticians. As your eyes change you buy the next one up. Not sure if you can get glasses in Aldi that have a different lens for each eye? Or can you swap the lenses yourself?
I just by the cheap ones in Aldi or wherever they seem OK.
No idea +1.5 or + 2 are my preferred ones, I have about 5 from +1 to +3 , the pair at work are +1.5
don;t think Aldi to them with different lenses for each eye.
They don't look easy to take out.
I like strip lights, no shadows.You just need to move the light source or tilt the chip for those. They reflect too much.I have ridiculously high resolution eyesight, I can read the numbers on SMD devices from a fair distance when others are using magnifying glasses.Those can be easier to see than the grey text on 74 series chips.
Yes the light source is important..
We have magnifying glasses with a ring of LED's called helping hands with 3 croc-clips for holding things,Yes I use those, but without the LED ring. I have decent room lighting anyway. I've got 200 watts of LEDs (which would be equivalent to 1.5kW of incandescent) in my living room which is 7m x 3.5m. Plus some UV lights as the parrots can see UV.
makes soldering so much easier .
along, you'll see different things. You wouldn't say "those things don't exist I can't see them". You know others are already seeing them and you will later. And of course you can change the speed of travel, or even go the other way.If you think of it as another dimension like distance, it all becomes clear. You're driving along a really long road, others are further ahead, others are further behind. You see different scenery to others. But you know when you get furtherNo, it will have happened when you get there, but not for someone who didn't travel. Time is not exactly the same everywhere.For me that's proof that time travel can't be done.
No it isn't. Probably just not invented yet.
But if you can travel forward in time then the future has alreay happened.
It can't be like that as the place/person has to exist before you get there.
And the same applies to time travel. If I'm about to go 5 years into the future, that future does already exist, it's just 5 years away in that dimension, and nobody you know from this time can see it yet unless they travel in time.
Yes people are already there at that point.
Something like spacetime , if yuo travel forward in time you also have to travel in distance too.Why? If you travel north you don't have to go a bit east too.
forwards and take it out with interest.Why travel back all the way to now when the lottery winnings are smaller?
Invest it, I;d go back and offer say van goth a few shilling for his sunflower or other stuff that no one wanted to buy.
I don;t think he sold any pictures of his own during his life. >> >> >> >> Good point, invest it in the past then go forwards and collect the interest. In fact all you need to do is take some money you have now, go back as far as you can when those coins/notes are still valid, pay it into a bank account, then go
They're in my "blue box" for the council. They stopped collecting it, but next time I take hedge clippings to the skip I'll ask. Also got busted hard disks, computer fans, USB sticks, etc.I can't think of what to do with them, I think they'll get recycled. No idea if they recycle individual chips. Melt them down into basic elements?Yeah I've got a few components in the lab maybe I'll build a time machine ;-)I found some 64kbit RAM chips, want them? 16 pin DIL.
Think I already have asome of those thanks.
Some have gold on the pins I know there's not much but it seems worth doing for old chips and connectors.
we have an electrical waste bin at work for such things.A hard disk is very good for concealing marijuana. They're hermetically sealed so a dog won't smell it, and nobody at an airport would open one.
I have hard drives, one day I'll remove the circuit boards add some surface mount LEDs and a small battery and flashing circuit
and frame it as art. Not sure I'll win a turner prize but one day I'll get around to it.
You're not right in the head. I can see her being a right horny thing in bed and doing it all night.Or hot.I like girls in denim that's falling apart.Why?I don't like plastic, it's too artificial. Skimpy denim is better.But the girl looks way sexier with rock hard nipples.
I quite like them dressed in PVC or latex , not so keen on leather.

I don;t like blue denim black is OK.
Not sure maybe it;s the sort that waer blue denim .
I'ts like a really don't like denim that was featured by dexis midnight runners , don't like track suits either.The cheap shit plastic ones (shell suits?) are usually worn by people more likely to want a shag.
The ali-G type , I just find people in those funny.
https://www.hotmilkvintage.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/39.jpg
You'd give her one wouldn't you? And you can probably rip that shellsuit right off if you're in a hurry.
Not sure I'd bother.
I just don;t find that look sexy.What she's wearing isn't really relevant anyway, it's what she looks like underneath.
I do not understand the desire to be clothed, it just isn't natural.Not sure I'd be really interested there's one in Brighton. I know there's one in germany that a friends has been to.They aren't. They're the same as normal beaches but with more freedom and the ability to enjoy the looks of others.I once jump started a car for a woman when her boyfriend had deliberately flattened the battery, and she asked if I wanted paid in sex! And of course I said yes, she was a bit older than me but really fit.then why are nudist beaches so boring.
Rubbish. Why use your imagination when you can have the real thing? >> >> >I don't see the point of all that plastic, they'd look better naked.Perhaps I should have gone to TG's last friday .What is TG's?
https://www.torturegarden.com/best-of-torture-garden/
It's what you don't see that keeps the interest.
Most people wear cloths it;s practical.No it isn't, it's a pointless hassle.
I've done running races in summer where stupid folk (everyone else in the race) had a tshirt on. I didn't. They were pouring with sweat and I was comfortable, and overtook loads of them. Several said, "that's a good idea" - they hadn't thought of it!
are all like minded.If you're horny, there are nudist camps where sex is commonplace. I was told about one in France where they have different sections. You can have no sex, heterosexual sex, group sex, homosexual sex, all sorts. And you know the others in that area
Do you know what caused the heart attack?
TG is like that I was there once and one guy was wanking himself off while watching a couple hang weights to their genitals.
One girl was laying on a cross and having dildos inserted into her by whoever wanted to, one bloke was being whipped.
someone in their twenties (I think) was kissing my girlfriends shoes apparently he had a shoe fetish, was well into it for about 20 mins we just found it funny.
Another guy who was wearing a blue miniskirt and nothing else had a heart attack and died it was in the news sometime in the 90s
I kept a cutout of the report but they got it wrong as they said he was in a nappy and he wasn't. I remember seeing him at some point sitting down, not sure if he was dead at that point though.
No, but he looked to be in his 70s, police looked into it but didn;t find anything suspicious. Wasn't drink or drug related.
One girl had a shiny PVC nuns habit outfit on with the white hat, her eyes we visible and she'd cut holes where her tits were out and crotchIs that the blind date for naked people? I watched one and found it rather boring.
were showing and that was it, every other part of her body was covered up.
Do you watch naked attraction on TV ?
Yeah I like tattoos (well some) but don;t have any myself or piercings.Same here, they look cool but I hate needles!

Well it was fun.

She wasn't referring to me, well I don't think so.

well most of the ones I've met anyway.
I'd like one. Be better to give it your full attention.Like you can control if they're girls. Could have an abortion if they're the wrong one I guess.One of my girlfriends was married with 4 kids. She kept thinking about leaving him for me, but living in a seperate house nearby as two people, 15 parrots, and 4 kids in one house would be a fucking mess.
Yeah 4 kids , an Irish GF said she wanted to have 5 daughters as she was one of 5 girls.
Closests I;ve ever come to a heart attack was when she cuddeld up to me saying I'd really like 5 children.. all girls...
I wouldn;t of cared what gender they were but 5 is far too many I was thuinking cloers to zero.
I think 2 is a good number, 3 perhaps .You said closer to zero a minute ago.
Little evidence of that it's why so many are obsese.That's the amount not the type.
it's the amount of fat, sugar and salt in processed food, that is the problem.Bollocks. Calories are calories. People are fat or thin based on genetics. We need to stop the unhealthy blobs breeding.
I doubt any animal knows which food is better for it. It eats what's available or tasty.after all animals in the wild often don't get a choice.
They do, animals can usually eat what is aviable if the right food suff doesn't exist then the species doesn't survive
It's what survival of the fitest really means it's not about who is the stonger indivudual.
They do they have senses and experience.They know what's poisonous, but I doubt they have a grasp of vitamins.
Some get it wrong, but generally in the wild they are OK.
They have eyes and a nose they can use.
One of your whips? How many do you got?Ah those were the days,They should bring back the belt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LIpFTM8q3s
Yeah I bought it one of my whips to enforce socail distancing ;-)
Just two, they were bought for me a sort of joke thing.Never really used them on anyone."Never really"? So sort of?
My housekey is attached to my wrist strap, a little RFID tag. For money you only need 1 card, or even just your phone.Clothes are irrational.Some people can't control their emotions or acts.What's your opinion on nudist camps then?
Don't really have one I went not my sort of thing I guess.
I use mine for keeping my keys 2 bunches, 4-6 cards, a bit of money and that's just to get to work.
were would o keep your phone ?You can get arm pouches for phones. I have one, but I've only ever used it to carry a chocolate bar in a marathon - my secret weapon!
Don;t think I could cope this weather being naked pretty hot in london and the heat reflecting off the concrete .WTF? At 41C with clothes on you'd be soaked with sweat. Naked means it can evaporate. And your skin adjusts to UV levels, it's called a tan.
Then there's the risk of sunburn.
It's called being burnt, skin cancer.A myth.
How can a natural thing be bad for you? Suntan is your skin adkusting the amount that gets through.
Strange how the muslim countries cope with wearing lots of cloths in hot weather, it's actually cooler wearing things like cotten. Sweat keeps you cool.It needs to evaporate. When your shirt is soaked with sweat, remove it. You will immediately feel cooler.
When at work I need pockets for tools and all sorts of things.So wear a tool belt and nothing else. I guarantee you'll get laid or fired within the hour.
Can't imagine many jobs wwere clothes of some sort are an advantage.
So you only like sexual things? A nudist beach is just a relaxing place to go.to one in France and there were 3000 people, of all ages from toddlers to OAPs, all completely starkers. And guess what, I never saw a single erection.
Why would you, a female friend asked me why do men find it sexier to see her in a very short skirt, and wearing a bikini bottom as knickers,
than when she's on a beach wearing the same bikini bottom.
I said it's probbaly down to what you almost see and imagination . >> >> No, I get a stiffy as soon as a woman gets naked. But that's when we're about to fuck. Being naked on a beach isn't sexual, it's natural.
That's why I don't se nudist camps as sexual, they just don;t interest me.
I don't find beaches relaxing they bore me.You do something fun to get tired, then relax. Go windsurfing or swimming or running or something.
Do you get upset if you see someone stopped by the side of the road taking a leak?Years ago people got excited about seeing ankels and then kneesIt's pathetic. Sex is natural and we should all be fucking anyone we see.
Pissing and shitting is natural and needs doing more often , but I wouldn;t want to see someone taking a dump next to me
while I was eating or having sex.
No I've seen it but it;s not the sort of thing I find attractive.It's just a natural thing that has to be done.
I don't like stuff like football, but a running race is fun.Not really interesting in playing sport.Same with any sport I'm probbaly more interested in sport now than I was as a kid,I'm the opposite, watching is boring, participating is the fun.

And of course you can change the speed of travel, or even go the other way.Yes I use those, but without the LED ring. I have decent room lighting anyway. I've got 200 watts of LEDs (which would be equivalent to 1.5kW of incandescent) in my living room which is 7m x 3.5m. Plus some UV lights as the parrots can see UV.Do the lenses look like you could buy two similar pairs of different power and swap one of the lenses over?I think it;'s lack of depth of field is the cause.Most common problem, the eye muscles weaken with age. Run Folding@Home they're doing research into eye muscles.
My brother has always work glasses well since leaving school.Yip, you just need to know the power of each lens required, no need for opticians. As your eyes change you buy the next one up. Not sure if you can get glasses in Aldi that have a different lens for each eye? Or can you swap the lenses yourself?
I just by the cheap ones in Aldi or wherever they seem OK.
No idea +1.5 or + 2 are my preferred ones, I have about 5 from +1 to +3 , the pair at work are +1.5
don;t think Aldi to them with different lenses for each eye.
They don't look easy to take out.
I like strip lights, no shadows.You just need to move the light source or tilt the chip for those. They reflect too much.I have ridiculously high resolution eyesight, I can read the numbers on SMD devices from a fair distance when others are using magnifying glasses.Those can be easier to see than the grey text on 74 series chips.
Yes the light source is important..
We have magnifying glasses with a ring of LED's called helping hands with 3 croc-clips for holding things,
makes soldering so much easier .
I don't do much soldering at home, have LEDs lighting at work now sure what the rating is but I tend to have them dimmed a bit anyway.
If you think of it as another dimension like distance, it all becomes clear. You're driving along a really long road, others are further ahead, others are further behind. You see different scenery to others. But you know when you get furtherNo, it will have happened when you get there, but not for someone who didn't travel. Time is not exactly the same everywhere.For me that's proof that time travel can't be done.
No it isn't. Probably just not invented yet.
But if you can travel forward in time then the future has alreay happened.
It can't be like that as the place/person has to exist before you get there.
Why? If you travel north you don't have to go a bit east too.And the same applies to time travel. If I'm about to go 5 years into the future, that future does already exist, it's just 5 years away in that dimension, and nobody you know from this time can see it yet unless they travel in time.
Yes people are already there at that point.
Something like spacetime , if yuo travel forward in time you also have to travel in distance too.

What she's wearing isn't really relevant anyway, it's what she looks like underneath.You're not right in the head.

I quite like them dressed in PVC or latex , not so keen on leather.

I just don;t find that look sexy.

No it isn't, it's a pointless hassle.I do not understand the desire to be clothed, it just isn't natural.Not sure I'd be really interested there's one in Brighton.

I have known of a few marriages for passports have taken place some are still married although they have no contact with each other.
Even the GF I had in the band was going to marry a guy named dave, I'd heard this romour and when I asked her about it she said yes
it's gay dave he agreed to marry me so I can get a english passport , I said that won;t work he;s scottich so youd have a scottish passport.
She was a bit confused at the point but I had to explain that is was a joke and that;s she;s have a EU passport.
After we split she found herself an Engish BF and a year later she married him , I was the photographer and the cocktail maker at her wedding.
She made the punch lots of loverly alcohol but insisted it was springled with a few grams of speed.
They aren't together now she is back in finland and isna facebook friend, no idea what happened to him though.
obsessed with ages back then.A French exchange student (who was supposed to help teach us French) when I was at school fucked one of my friends in the swimming pool. For some reason they actually drained it and cleaned it! Don't think she got into much trouble, they weren'tI guess she'd have to time things right.John would never know he had kids so wouldn't be a problem I assume. >> >> >> Until Jim says something, and the kids start hunting down their real dad.Wow. She wants to get pregnant with John and marry Jim? What happens when John wants to see the kids?And why did you go out with them if they were annoying?
Well it was fun.
One french GF said that when she gets married and has children she doesn't want her husband to be the father of her children as that would give him power over her.
She wasn't referring to me, well I don't think so.
If, Jim might not know or care.
wouldn't be to difficult, but I did find the 'logic a bit odd, but she was french and female they all seems a bit weird,
well most of the ones I've met anyway.
They kept having to drain our pool as someone that hatted swimming kept throwing a brick though the window and glass would end up ion teh pool.
Happened quite a few times .
You said closer to zero a minute ago.I'd like one. Be better to give it your full attention.Like you can control if they're girls. Could have an abortion if they're the wrong one I guess.One of my girlfriends was married with 4 kids. She kept thinking about leaving him for me, but living in a seperate house nearby as two people, 15 parrots, and 4 kids in one house would be a fucking mess.
Yeah 4 kids , an Irish GF said she wanted to have 5 daughters as she was one of 5 girls.
Closests I;ve ever come to a heart attack was when she cuddeld up to me saying I'd really like 5 children.. all girls...
I wouldn;t of cared what gender they were but 5 is far too many I was thuinking cloers to zero.
I think 2 is a good number, 3 perhaps .
For me personally yes ZERO, but generally speaking for the good of the kids they need a sibling or two.
Bollocks. Calories are calories. People are fat or thin based on genetics. We need to stop the unhealthy blobs breeding.Little evidence of that it's why so many are obsese.That's the amount not the type.
it's the amount of fat, sugar and salt in processed food, that is the problem.
genetics is 30-70% of it, and it;s down top gut and other bacteria. Theres a process that's been discovered over the last few years that involves
fecal translpants that's taking shit cells from one peron and putting them in another
and this changes gut bactreria which can have a significant effect or cure obese people, it;s also possible to
help irradicate some cancer cells although it's still in the early testing.

In fact all you need to do is take some money you have now, go back as far as you can when those coins/notes are still valid, pay it into a bank account, thenWhy travel back all the way to now when the lottery winnings are smaller?
Invest it, I;d go back and offer say van goth a few shilling for his sunflower or other stuff that no one wanted to buy.
I don;t think he sold any pictures of his own during his life.

I don;t like blue denim black is OK.
Not sure maybe it;s the sort that waer blue denim .
I'ts like a really don't like denim that was featured by dexis midnight runners , don't like track suits either.The cheap shit plastic ones (shell suits?) are usually worn by people more likely to want a shag.
The ali-G type , I just find people in those funny.
https://www.hotmilkvintage.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/39.jpg
You'd give her one wouldn't you? And you can probably rip that shellsuit right off if you're in a hurry.
Not sure I'd bother.
I just don;t find that look sexy.
Could be pregnant ?. If she has a nice figure why hide it in plastic bag. >> It's not plastic. Plastic is the crap you showed me them wearing in the club.
It's hardly evolution to require something extra.No it isn't, it's a pointless hassle.Most people wear cloths it;s practical.I do not understand the desire to be clothed, it just isn't natural. >> >> >Not sure I'd be really interested there's one in Brighton. I know there's one in germany that a friends has been to.They aren't. They're the same as normal beaches but with more freedom and the ability to enjoy the looks of others.I once jump started a car for a woman when her boyfriend had deliberately flattened the battery, and she asked if I wanted paid in sex! And of course I said yes, she was a bit older than me but really fit.
Rubbish. Why use your imagination when you can have the real thing?I don't see the point of all that plastic, they'd look better naked.Perhaps I should have gone to TG's last friday .What is TG's?

It's what you don't see that keeps the interest.
then why are nudist beaches so boring.
Not since we evolved from apes.
Side effect of losing body hair , having evolved from apes.
it!I've done running races in summer where stupid folk (everyone else in the race) had a tshirt on. I didn't. They were pouring with sweat and I was comfortable, and overtook loads of them. Several said, "that's a good idea" - they hadn't thought of
water.Most athletes do wear not very much, but there are silly rules. For example I watched a triathlon in SUMMER and they had full wetsuits on, very inconvenient when they had to strip them off to cycle. The swim was like 10 minutes in summer temperature
Strange professonal athletes don't do it, or wear the bare minium why is that.
From 100M to the marathon if whjat you say is correct they would be wearing as little as possible.
Swimmers have their body hair, some even remove beards and mustaches, don;t see many hairy swimmers in the Olympics.
Other than perhaps shot-put and hammer.

I think its quite common to loose balance seen plenty of videos of people falling over.I don't. I can also persuade anyone (including the police) I've had nothing to drink when I'm several times over the legal limit.
It's where the term legless comes from I guess.
A greek student that was quite large and tubby, when we took for a drink he started it get pissed after 1/2 pint.Weak brain. The friends I had more susceptible to alcohol were the thick ones.
After a pint he had to sit down.
A friend of mine tried vodka and he started to get violent and argumentative it's the only think he reacts badly too, he can drinkIllogical, it's all ethanol.
6 pints of beer without a problem.
Another Irish friend whos normally really quiet and shy talks endlessly and loudly after a few pintsBut the Irish are always like that.
it can get really annoying he starts hugging friends and saying I love you and gets emotional.
Certain types of women became more attractive as I drank more which can be a problem.Odd, that didn't change for me.
It's supposed to reduce the risk of heart problems if you have it in moderation.The RDA is good for you. Double the RDA is even better for you. Triple the RDA is the same for you as the RDA. Quadruple the RDA is the same as being T-Total. Only after that you go downhill.
Not sure how true that is as many people are efectivley T-total of just don;t drink due to culture. They seem to cope with life without drink alcohol.
Don;t forget it's an allowence and not something you must have.
Lots of things seem to be good for you in moderation coffee, dark chocolate.I hate coffee but love chocolate.
Depends what the physical point of reference is when time travelling. Do you end up in the same place relative to a local mass like the earth, or relative to the centre of the universe?Why? If you travel north you don't have to go a bit east too.Yes people are already there at that point.And the same applies to time travel. If I'm about to go 5 years into the future, that future does already exist, it's just 5 years away in that dimension, and nobody you know from this time can see it yet unless they travel in time.
Something like spacetime , if yuo travel forward in time you also have to travel in distance too.
But you do as the earth is rotating and the earth is orbiting the sun and orbiting our galaxy and the universe is expanding.
So if I go back to find van goth the earth was in a differnt part of the galaxy to what it is now.
The only real way to achive that is to bend space and therefor bent time is using gravity .
Not sure but the earth moves even rotation so if you go forward 6 months , I think you must also move too as the Earth is on the opposite. side of the sun.I honestly never thought about this problem before you mentioned it. You had better inform some important physicists.
then go forwards and take it out with interest.Good point, invest it in the past then go forwards and collect the interest.

There must be some way or it'd be done on a large scale.It most likely is. Black market dealers are a lot brighter than the law. I know a local drug dealer who outsmarted the police in court. She got let off with "not proven". She makes a living selling "street Valium".

Why do marathon runners wear so many clothes
and don;t chocaolate bars melt in the heat.
I klnow the runners and cyclists have gel packs for energy often wondered how they legistale such things.
A myth.Don;t think I could cope this weather being naked pretty hot in london and the heat reflecting off the concrete .WTF? At 41C with clothes on you'd be soaked with sweat. Naked means it can evaporate. And your skin adjusts to UV levels, it's called a tan.
Then there's the risk of sunburn.
It's called being burnt, skin cancer.
A reality.
How can a natural thing be bad for you? Suntan is your skin adkusting the amount that gets through.
and even over that last 30 years more UVA and UVB has been getting through due to the destruction of the ozone layer.
You do something fun to get tired, then relax. Go windsurfing or swimming or running or something.When at work I need pockets for tools and all sorts of things.So wear a tool belt and nothing else. I guarantee you'll get laid or fired within the hour.
Can't imagine many jobs wwere clothes of some sort are an advantage.
So you only like sexual things? A nudist beach is just a relaxing place to go.to one in France and there were 3000 people, of all ages from toddlers to OAPs, all completely starkers. And guess what, I never saw a single erection.
Why would you, a female friend asked me why do men find it sexier to see her in a very short skirt, and wearing a bikini bottom as knickers,
than when she's on a beach wearing the same bikini bottom.
I said it's probbaly down to what you almost see and imagination . >> >> >> No, I get a stiffy as soon as a woman gets naked. But that's when we're about to fuck. Being naked on a beach isn't sexual, it's natural.
That's why I don't se nudist camps as sexual, they just don;t interest me.
I don't find beaches relaxing they bore me.
I find that sort of shit boring.
It's just a natural thing that has to be done.Do you get upset if you see someone stopped by the side of the road taking a leak?Years ago people got excited about seeing ankels and then kneesIt's pathetic. Sex is natural and we should all be fucking anyone we see.
Pissing and shitting is natural and needs doing more often , but I wouldn;t want to see someone taking a dump next to me
while I was eating or having sex.
No I've seen it but it;s not the sort of thing I find attractive.
So are lots of things.
I don't like stuff like football, but a running race is fun.Not really interesting in playing sport.Same with any sport I'm probbaly more interested in sport now than I was as a kid,I'm the opposite, watching is boring, participating is the fun. You don't sit and watch people playing computer games, you don't sit and watch them play monopoly. You do it yourself.
but just watching it though.
Plenty of people watch sport including darts and snooker.
Something like 9 million watched the lioness win that football trophy. >> >> They're morons. Entertainment for the masses.
Not everyone plays football.
So what? Play something that interests you then.
for me it's about a much fun as scoring a goal.
Rubbish, experience teaches you anything way faster, that's why kids do experiments at school and not just listen to the teacher.And there's a massive market in Esports and growing all the time.That's just stupid. Play the game don't watch it.
The streaming platfom twitch.tv was set up for it.

Its; a good way of leanring how to play.
They normally watch the teacher first or at least watch a utube nowerdays.
How did you learn how to jump out of a plane they just took you up and pushed you out did they.
There was no jumping from small hieghts learning how to fall or anything like that ?

It's not like they don;t have arguments it;'s just that they seem to work things out.

Depends what you mean by successful marriage.
I have known of a few marriages for passports have taken place some are still married although they have no contact with each other.
That's not the defintion of marriage though.
So when looking at marriage stats it doesn;t mean what poee think it does.
Even the GF I had in the band was going to marry a guy named dave, I'd heard this romour and when I asked her about it she said yesROFL! You meet interesting people.
it's gay dave he agreed to marry me so I can get a english passport , I said that won;t work he;s scottich so youd have a scottish passport.
She was a bit confused at the point but I had to explain that is was a joke and that;s she;s have a EU passport.
After we split she found herself an Engish BF and a year later she married him , I was the photographer and the cocktail maker at her wedding.
She made the punch lots of loverly alcohol but insisted it was springled with a few grams of speed.
They aren't together now she is back in finland and isna facebook friend, no idea what happened to him though.
Yeah a line of fun, wierd or problematic.
Talking of which my ex french flatmate told me she is moving in with her boyfriend she says they have the same mentality.
Sounds like a disaster about to happen.
They kept having to drain our pool as someone that hatted swimming kept throwing a brick though the window and glass would end up ion teh pool.Just send someone in with a dustpan and brush.
Happened quite a few times .
Not sure those work underwater.
When I were a lad near Dundee (rough place where they set fire to police cars) someone decided it would be funny to jam a razor blade in the join in one of the water slides.
Strange the way those of lower IQ have a differnt sense of humour.
You said closer to zero a minute ago.I'd like one. Be better to give it your full attention.Like you can control if they're girls. Could have an abortion if they're the wrong one I guess.One of my girlfriends was married with 4 kids. She kept thinking about leaving him for me, but living in a seperate house nearby as two people, 15 parrots, and 4 kids in one house would be a fucking mess.
Yeah 4 kids , an Irish GF said she wanted to have 5 daughters as she was one of 5 girls.
Closests I;ve ever come to a heart attack was when she cuddeld up to me saying I'd really like 5 children.. all girls...
I wouldn;t of cared what gender they were but 5 is far too many I was thuinking cloers to zero.
I think 2 is a good number, 3 perhaps .
For me personally yes ZERO, but generally speaking for the good of the kids they need a sibling or two.
Single kids I know are much happier. More attention more money sent on them, bigger inheritance. Most kids prefer friends not siblings.
Not in the early years.
But that gut bacteria depends on your genes too presumably. If you see fat parents, chances are the kids are fat too.Bollocks. Calories are calories. People are fat or thin based on genetics. We need to stop the unhealthy blobs breeding.Little evidence of that it's why so many are obsese.That's the amount not the type.
it's the amount of fat, sugar and salt in processed food, that is the problem.
genetics is 30-70% of it, and it;s down top gut and other bacteria. Theres a process that's been discovered over the last few years that involves
fecal translpants that's taking shit cells from one peron and putting them in another
and this changes gut bactreria which can have a significant effect or cure obese people, it;s also possible to
help irradicate some cancer cells although it's still in the early testing.
Yes you can inherit fatness just like you can inteligence or athleticism and many other things.
check out the southpark episode Turd burglers ;-)I hate that program.
Why ?
Why are there more unhealthy blods and fat isn't just fat there is at least two types I know of brown and white fat.Brown fat is what stops you being a sissy in cold water.
Where do you get that idea from ?
And us. I can smell what's good for me. We also get a desire for a certain food, I bet that's our brain requiring certain nutrients.They know what's poisonous, but I doubt they have a grasp of vitamins.I doubt any animal knows which food is better for it. It eats what's available or tasty.after all animals in the wild often don't get a choice.
They do, animals can usually eat what is aviable if the right food suff doesn't exist then the species doesn't survive
It's what survival of the fitest really means it's not about who is the stonger indivudual.
They do they have senses and experience.
Some get it wrong, but generally in the wild they are OK.
They have eyes and a nose they can use.
They don;t need to, this is why horses and even dogs eat their own shit as they know they contain something they need
that isn's passed to them in the first 'eating'.
Dogs will eat other dogs shit if they smell that it contains high levels of the things they need.
Some dogs get fed healthy dieds and they stuill shit out so called good protiens.
It happens with many animals .
True but we can also get it wrong.

Yes, and there are many websites agreeing with me that he looks like Putin.

What about those that a separated, or just married but don't live together.
Depends what you mean by successful marriage.
I have known of a few marriages for passports have taken place some are still married although they have no contact with each other.
That's not the defintion of marriage though.99% of marriages are simply a man and wife living together in the normal way.
So when looking at marriage stats it doesn;t mean what poee think it does.
Even the GF I had in the band was going to marry a guy named dave, I'd heard this romour and when I asked her about it she said yesROFL! You meet interesting people.
it's gay dave he agreed to marry me so I can get a english passport , I said that won;t work he;s scottich so youd have a scottish passport.
She was a bit confused at the point but I had to explain that is was a joke and that;s she;s have a EU passport.
After we split she found herself an Engish BF and a year later she married him , I was the photographer and the cocktail maker at her wedding.

it's the amount of fat, sugar and salt in processed food, that is the problem.
genetics is 30-70% of it, and it;s down top gut and other bacteria. Theres a process that's been discovered over the last few years that involves
fecal translpants that's taking shit cells from one peron and putting them in another
and this changes gut bactreria which can have a significant effect or cure obese people, it;s also possible to
help irradicate some cancer cells although it's still in the early testing.
Yes you can inherit fatness just like you can inteligence or athleticism and many other things.
Weirdly you can inherit fitness you've created. You can decide to do loads of exercise, then that gets passed onto your kids.
check out the southpark episode Turd burglers ;-)I hate that program.
Why ?Childish shite and simply drawn cartoons that belong in the 70s. What happened to CGI?
Why are there more unhealthy blods and fat isn't just fat there is at least two types I know of brown and white fat.Brown fat is what stops you being a sissy in cold water.
Where do you get that idea from ?Brown fat cells create heat directly.
And us. I can smell what's good for me. We also get a desire for a certain food, I bet that's our brain requiring certain nutrients.They don;t need to, this is why horses and even dogs eat their own shit as they know they contain something they needThey know what's poisonous, but I doubt they have a grasp of vitamins. >> >I doubt any animal knows which food is better for it. It eats what's available or tasty.after all animals in the wild often don't get a choice.
They do, animals can usually eat what is aviable if the right food suff doesn't exist then the species doesn't survive
It's what survival of the fitest really means it's not about who is the stonger indivudual.
They do they have senses and experience.
Some get it wrong, but generally in the wild they are OK.
They have eyes and a nose they can use.
that isn's passed to them in the first 'eating'.
Dogs will eat other dogs shit if they smell that it contains high levels of the things they need.
Some dogs get fed healthy dieds and they stuill shit out so called good protiens.
It happens with many animals .
True but we can also get it wrong.So can nutritionists. Look at the number of times they changed their minds which fats were best for you.

Anyone else notice the James Bond actor looks like Putin?
His name is Daniel Craig
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_CraigYes, and there are many websites agreeing with me that he looks like Putin.
Sometimes people look the same. I found on Instagram someone in London who is absolutely identical, has the same forename and surname, and is the same age, as a friend of mine who has never left Scotland.

You may pull the other one! ;-)
I was telling the truth. I actually thought it was him and started
talking to him, then realised it wasn't him.
I was unaware that one can talk to folk on Instagram!
Lesson, please?I hardly ever use it. I've used it to talk to him, and to "like" some companies to get free vouchers. When I say talk, I just sent a message.
I thought of you last evening when I filmed this short clip:-
https://jumpshare.com/v/xRyAP2kYnZW5s1gX0ExT
I have never and will never play, listen to, or enjoy the pipes.
Except this: https://youtu.be/cnVjkE87FDY
Haha! :-D Great fun!
I went to university with a guy that unicycled there. First time I saw him I was locking my bike up, and he appeared on a unicycle. I said "what's wrong with two wheels?", he said "too easy".

It's not JUST for Apple!Again and again Apple screw everything up. And the silly little Apple worshippers suck it in.
https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/18/22629703/apple-magsafe-charging-mfi-standard-accessory
Almost a year in, Apple’s charging tech has barely trickled out
It’s been almost a year since Apple first debuted the iPhone 12 lineup, and introduced its MagSafe accessory system. So where are all the MagSafe chargers?
Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of accessory developers making cases, wallets, car mounts, desk stands, and even magnetic Qi chargers and battery packs that work with MagSafe — but almost no actual MagSafe accessories.
And that’s a big difference because of how Apple has designed the MagSafe standard. Anyone can wirelessly charge an iPhone 12 device using a Qi charger at Apple’s standard rate of 7.5W. Magnets, being a physical phenomenon, are even more universal,meaning that device manufacturers can easily stick an iPhone 12 and a Qi charger together. (Many already have.)
The MagSafe Battery Pack looks a little funny on an iPhone 12 Pro Maxofficial charging cable, Apple’s MagSafe Duo charger, Apple’s official MagSafe battery pack (even then, only when it’s plugged in), and a pair of pricey Belkin stands.
But those two things alone don’t make a wireless charger a MagSafe charger; actual, Apple-approved MagSafe chargers offer a charging speed that’s twice as fast, up to 15W. And that’s only available on a paltry handful of accessories: Apple’s
Theoretically, there’s no reason that Apple has to restrict 15W charging to official MagSafe chargers. Any number of Qi chargers are available that offer 15W charging speeds and work with a plethora of devices. Some of them are even made by Apple’sMagSafe-approved partners, leading to awkward product lineups where some MagSafe-capable 15W chargers sit side by side on a website with identical-looking 7.5W, MagSafe-compatible wireless chargers that won’t charge your phone as fast.
This Belkin charger has MagSafe, costs $99, and charges an iPhone 12 at 15W. Image: Belkinallowing MagSafe chargers to be built using an MFi-approved module.
This Belkin charger has magnets, costs $35, and charges an iPhone 12 at 7.5W. Image: Belkin
The reason appears to be simple: Apple hasn’t actually let anyone else make MagSafe chargers yet. According to ChargerLab — a wireless-charging-focused site that’s obtained details and a unit for Apple’s MagSafe modules — Apple is only
But a year out, it’s hard to feel like MagSafe isn’t a missed opportunity for Apple. When the iPhone 12 first came out, MagSafe looked like a way for the company to build an ecosystem of snap-on modular accessories, the sort of thing that Motorolahad tried and failed to accomplish with its Moto Mods system. There were visions of port-less iPhones that could rely on MagSafe exclusively for charging and connecting to external devices.
But instead of that thriving new accessory ecosystem, Apple has effectively left us with a handful of Apple-designed cables. It makes Apple’s magnetic standard look less like a stepping stone to the portless future, and more like another brick inApple’s walled garden.

A greek student that was quite large and tubby, when we took for a drink he started it get pissed after 1/2 pint.Weak brain. The friends I had more susceptible to alcohol were the thick ones.
After a pint he had to sit down.
He was one of the cleverest students we've had a built a digitizer for displaying pictures on a BBC computer, he used to show it off at

6 pints of beer without a problem.
He can drink whisky and just about any other spirit without becoming angry .
Another Irish friend whos normally really quiet and shy talks endlessly and loudly after a few pintsBut the Irish are always like that.
it can get really annoying he starts hugging friends and saying I love you and gets emotional.

It's supposed to reduce the risk of heart problems if you have it in moderation.The RDA is good for you. Double the RDA is even better for you. Triple the RDA is the same for you as the RDA. Quadruple the RDA is the same as being T-Total. Only after that you go downhill.
Not sure how true that is as many people are efectivley T-total of just don;t drink due to culture. They seem to cope with life without drink alcohol.
Don;t forget it's an allowence and not something you must have.
Lots of things seem to be good for you in moderation coffee, dark chocolate.
I know someone that loves coffee but hates coffee flavoured things like ice cream, quality street and the like type sweets.
He threw up once after eating a coffee sweet from a box of roses or similar. It was quite funny.
I honestly never thought about this problem before you mentioned it. You had better inform some important physicists.Depends what the physical point of reference is when time travelling. Do you end up in the same place relative to a local mass like the earth, or relative to the centre of the universe?Why? If you travel north you don't have to go a bit east too.Yes people are already there at that point.And the same applies to time travel. If I'm about to go 5 years into the future, that future does already exist, it's just 5 years away in that dimension, and nobody you know from this time can see it yet unless they travel in time.
Something like spacetime , if yuo travel forward in time you also have to travel in distance too.
But you do as the earth is rotating and the earth is orbiting the sun and orbiting our galaxy and the universe is expanding.
So if I go back to find van goth the earth was in a differnt part of the galaxy to what it is now.
The only real way to achive that is to bend space and therefor bent time is using gravity .
Not sure but the earth moves even rotation so if you go forward 6 months , I think you must also move too as the Earth is on the opposite. side of the sun.
I think they know about it, it also part of the light where a star can be 32 billion light years away but the universe's is only 13.8 billion l years old .
I was reading about it as the james webb telescope first pictures came it. Can't say I truely understood the paper but sort of got the point that it wasn;t as sinple as I first thought and with gravatational lensing
and redshift which isn;t that difficult to understand.
then go forwards and take it out with interest.Good point, invest it in the past then go forwards and collect the interest. In fact all you need to do is take some money you have now, go back as far as you can when those coins/notes are still valid, pay it into a bank account,Why travel back all the way to now when the lottery winnings are smaller?
Invest it, I;d go back and offer say van goth a few shilling for his sunflower or other stuff that no one wanted to buy.
I don;t think he sold any pictures of his own during his life.
It most likely is. Black market dealers are a lot brighter than the law. I know a local drug dealer who outsmarted the police in court. She got let off with "not proven". She makes a living selling "street Valium".It could just be a plain 3.5" disk with no way to talk to it.A hard disk is very good for concealing marijuana. They're hermetically sealed so a dog won't smell it, and nobody at an airport would open one.They're in my "blue box" for the council. They stopped collecting it, but next time I take hedge clippings to the skip I'll ask. Also got busted hard disks, computer fans, USB sticks, etc.I can't think of what to do with them, I think they'll get recycled. No idea if they recycle individual chips. Melt them down into basic elements?Yeah I've got a few components in the lab maybe I'll build a time machine ;-)I found some 64kbit RAM chips, want them? 16 pin DIL.
Think I already have asome of those thanks.
Some have gold on the pins I know there's not much but it seems worth doing for old chips and connectors.
we have an electrical waste bin at work for such things.
I have hard drives, one day I'll remove the circuit boards add some surface mount LEDs and a small battery and flashing circuit
and frame it as art. Not sure I'll win a turner prize but one day I'll get around to it.
But they could ask you to start it up,
and x-rays can see oddities in such a think.
They can't get through steel.
There must be some way or it'd be done on a large scale.
I've been on jury service you can;t really out smart the police it's more that they don;t have enough evidence for a jury to convict on.
That's why she got off with not proven, which is differnt from not giulty.
The dealers ttry to stay one spep ahead but it;s more to do with the number of attempts on getting drugs through.
Not everything is checked at shipping ports and lots more drugs get through than is found.
You just have to make sure nothing leads back to you as a dealer.
Yip, that's for plastic bags, not people.Mostly PVC and things like it .Who carries HDs norwerdays anyway most have SSDs .Depends on the capacity.
It's not plastic. Plastic is the crap you showed me them wearing in the club.What she's wearing isn't really relevant anyway, it's what she looks like underneath.You're not right in the head. I can see her being a right horny thing in bed and doing it all night.Or hot.I like girls in denim that's falling apart.Why?I don't like plastic, it's too artificial. Skimpy denim is better.But the girl looks way sexier with rock hard nipples.
I quite like them dressed in PVC or latex , not so keen on leather.

I don;t like blue denim black is OK.
Not sure maybe it;s the sort that waer blue denim .
I'ts like a really don't like denim that was featured by dexis midnight runners , don't like track suits either.The cheap shit plastic ones (shell suits?) are usually worn by people more likely to want a shag.
The ali-G type , I just find people in those funny.
https://www.hotmilkvintage.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/39.jpg >> >> >> >> >> You'd give her one wouldn't you? And you can probably rip that shellsuit right off if you're in a hurry.
Not sure I'd bother.
I just don;t find that look sexy.
Could be pregnant ?. If she has a nice figure why hide it in plastic bag.
Most shell suits are some shitty type of plastic .
The hair isn't needed,It's hardly evolution to require something extra.No it isn't, it's a pointless hassle.I do not understand the desire to be clothed, it just isn't natural.Not sure I'd be really interested there's one in Brighton. I know there's one in germany that a friends has been to.They aren't. They're the same as normal beaches but with more freedom and the ability to enjoy the looks of others.I once jump started a car for a woman when her boyfriend had deliberately flattened the battery, and she asked if I wanted paid in sex! And of course I said yes, she was a bit older than me but really fit.
Rubbish. Why use your imagination when you can have the real thing?I don't see the point of all that plastic, they'd look better naked.Perhaps I should have gone to TG's last friday .What is TG's?
https://www.torturegarden.com/best-of-torture-garden/
It's what you don't see that keeps the interest.
then why are nudist beaches so boring.
Most people wear cloths it;s practical.
Not since we evolved from apes.
Side effect of losing body hair , having evolved from apes.
Hair is needed or we wouldn't have it.
Which countries are those where people walked around naked, there aren't any there's a reason for that.
Most animals are naked but maybe that's because genrally they have an IQl ess than that of a 3 year-old child.
neither are clothes. People are obsessed with being warm. They get all upset if they shiver, but for some reason are ok pouring with sweat (which is far worse as you can quickly dehydrate).of it!
I've done running races in summer where stupid folk (everyone else in the race) had a tshirt on. I didn't. They were pouring with sweat and I was comfortable, and overtook loads of them. Several said, "that's a good idea" - they hadn't thought
temperature water.Most athletes do wear not very much, but there are silly rules. For example I watched a triathlon in SUMMER and they had full wetsuits on, very inconvenient when they had to strip them off to cycle. The swim was like 10 minutes in summer
Strange professonal athletes don't do it, or wear the bare minium why is that.
From 100M to the marathon if whjat you say is correct they would be wearing as little as possible.
Indeed, hair is a nuisance. Cyclists aswell, as it gets into wounds when they fall off.
Swimmers have their body hair, some even remove beards and mustaches, don;t see many hairy swimmers in the Olympics.
Other than perhaps shot-put and hammer.
Bicycles aren't natural though they don;t grow on trees, same with motorbikes so people wear protective gear for when they fall off.
Chutes aren;t natural but if you won;t to go up in an unnatrual hieght in an unnatural plane you seem to want to wear such an unnatural thing.
That's the thing humans have eveolved not to live in the natural environment. But if yuor life is more like an chgimps with a lower IQ than most humans you'll be quite happy spending yuor time sitting around naked
and wanking yourself off, but us evolved humans havea much richer lifestyle even if we'll destroy ourselves in the not too distant future.
The Natural world will carry on, just like it did 65 million years ago, it'll just change and those most siuted to that change will prosper.

He can drink whisky and just about any other spirit without becoming angry .He must be allergic to something else in the drink then, and it's nothing to do with it being alcoholic.
If you could produce vodka minus the ethanol, it would be interesting to see if that affected him.
asked if I wanted her to call the police and I objected strongly, saying he's harmless. I gave the same guy a quid every time I saw him, and once two men approached me just afterwards and said I shouldn't encourage him. I told them to go fuck themselves.Another Irish friend whos normally really quiet and shy talks endlessly and loudly after a few pintsBut the Irish are always like that.
it can get really annoying he starts hugging friends and saying I love you and gets emotional.
That could be trueThere was a homeless Scotsman in Dundee when I was a teenager and used the bus to get to uni. He approached me and a few others at the bus stop and started hugging me and declaring his undying love. My friends thought it was hilarious. A stupid woman

If I'm about to go 5 years into the future, that future does already exist, it's just 5 years away in that dimension, and nobody you know from this time can see it yet unless they travel in time.
Something like spacetime , if yuo travel forward in time you also have to travel in distance too.
But you do as the earth is rotating and the earth is orbiting the sun and orbiting our galaxy and the universe is expanding.
So if I go back to find van goth the earth was in a differnt part of the galaxy to what it is now.
The only real way to achive that is to bend space and therefor bent time is using gravity .
Not sure but the earth moves even rotation so if you go forward 6 months , I think you must also move too as the Earth is on the opposite. side of the sun.
I think they know about it, it also part of the light where a star can be 32 billion light years away but the universe's is only 13.8 billion l years old .Link please, that sounds interesting. I'm running a lot of telescope data through my computers and have got rather interested in it.
I was reading about it as the james webb telescope first pictures came it. Can't say I truely understood the paper but sort of got the point that it wasn;t as sinple as I first thought and with gravatational lensing
and redshift which isn;t that difficult to understand.
of her car smashed, but she figured out herself it was probably her daughter's ex boyfriend. Nice new top of the range Honda Civic aswell, must have cost a few grand to fix. Not sure who ended up paying.It most likely is. Black market dealers are a lot brighter than the law. I know a local drug dealer who outsmarted the police in court. She got let off with "not proven". She makes a living selling "street Valium".But they could ask you to start it up,It could just be a plain 3.5" disk with no way to talk to it.
and x-rays can see oddities in such a think.
They can't get through steel.
There must be some way or it'd be done on a large scale.
I've been on jury service you can;t really out smart the police it's more that they don;t have enough evidence for a jury to convict on.They have not enough evidence because they're thick or lazy. Someone once smashed my car window and they couldn't even be bothered taking fingerprints. They said if I didn't know who it was, they couldn't do anything. A friend got every single window
That's why she got off with not proven, which is differnt from not giulty.Either way she doesn't get a punishment.
The dealers ttry to stay one spep ahead but it;s more to do with the number of attempts on getting drugs through.It's fucking stupid they go after drugs at all. It's nobody's business what people put in their bodies.
Not everything is checked at shipping ports and lots more drugs get through than is found.
You just have to make sure nothing leads back to you as a dealer.
Mostly PVC and things like it .Yip, that's for plastic bags, not people.
Most shell suits are some shitty type of plastic .Yeah my sister's caught fire once, that was funny, well I thought it was anyway.
Side effect of losing body hair , having evolved from apes.The hair isn't needed,
Hair is needed or we wouldn't have it.Bullshit. Evolution works by randomness.
Which countries are those where people walked around naked, there aren't any there's a reason for that.A lot of Africa.
Most animals are naked but maybe that's because genrally they have an IQl ess than that of a 3 year-old child.No, it's because they aren't as prudish as us. Mind you I do hate seeing cats when their tails go straight up (which they do when happy) exposing their dirty anus.
of it!neither are clothes. People are obsessed with being warm. They get all upset if they shiver, but for some reason are ok pouring with sweat (which is far worse as you can quickly dehydrate).
I've done running races in summer where stupid folk (everyone else in the race) had a tshirt on. I didn't. They were pouring with sweat and I was comfortable, and overtook loads of them. Several said, "that's a good idea" - they hadn't thought
temperature water.Most athletes do wear not very much, but there are silly rules. For example I watched a triathlon in SUMMER and they had full wetsuits on, very inconvenient when they had to strip them off to cycle. The swim was like 10 minutes in summer
Strange professonal athletes don't do it, or wear the bare minium why is that.
From 100M to the marathon if whjat you say is correct they would be wearing as little as possible.
Indeed, hair is a nuisance. Cyclists aswell, as it gets into wounds when they fall off.
Swimmers have their body hair, some even remove beards and mustaches, don;t see many hairy swimmers in the Olympics.
Other than perhaps shot-put and hammer.
Bicycles aren't natural though they don;t grow on trees, same with motorbikes so people wear protective gear for when they fall off.A bicycle is not dangerous enough to need protection.
Chutes aren;t natural but if you won;t to go up in an unnatrual hieght in an unnatural plane you seem to want to wear such an unnatural thing.People parachute naked. There's a famous video of someone's cock flapping about on a naked jump.
That's the thing humans have eveolved not to live in the natural environment.Yes, people like me will be fine, people like you will cry because there's no McDonalds.
But if yuor life is more like an chgimps with a lower IQ than most humans you'll be quite happy spending yuor time sitting around naked
and wanking yourself off, but us evolved humans havea much richer lifestyle even if we'll destroy ourselves in the not too distant future.
The Natural world will carry on, just like it did 65 million years ago, it'll just change and those most siuted to that change will prosper.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LIpFTM8q3s
Yeah I bought it one of my whips to enforce socail distancing ;-)
Just two, they were bought for me a sort of joke thing.Never really used them on anyone.
Well tried cracking it a few times I'm not that good at it and it was only done na few times.
Such as in Oi where's my breakfast luv .
I prefer the real thing rather than this simulation stuff ;-)
Because they're idiots. I run in shorts and bare feet.You can get arm pouches for phones. I have one, but I've only ever used it to carry a chocolate bar in a marathon - my secret weapon!My housekey is attached to my wrist strap, a little RFID tag. For money you only need 1 card, or even just your phone.Clothes are irrational.Some people can't control their emotions or acts.What's your opinion on nudist camps then?
Don't really have one I went not my sort of thing I guess.
I use mine for keeping my keys 2 bunches, 4-6 cards, a bit of money and that's just to get to work.
were would o keep your phone ?
Why do marathon runners wear so many clothes
Animals run with bare feet , some have evolved into hooves , while others have differing toes and some have fingers others have paws.
But as yet we haven't eveloved foot that run well on concrete or tarmac, some have webbing between their toes I assume you don;t.
. Of course there are even more modern things such as glass , metal even plastic (lego bricks) that are very painful if trodden on.
We even put shoes on horses .
and don;t chocaolate bars melt in the heat.They melt at about 27C. It's usually not that hot unless they're in direct sunlight.
Go up to around 38C in london a couple of weeks ago.
I thought you'd be running in direct sunlight .
I klnow the runners and cyclists have gel packs for energy often wondered how they legistale such things.Legistale?
Legistate, or how they decide what is fair and what isn't such as amphetamine sulphate or even marijuana
No, the tan lowers the amount that gets through.A myth.Don;t think I could cope this weather being naked pretty hot in london and the heat reflecting off the concrete .WTF? At 41C with clothes on you'd be soaked with sweat. Naked means it can evaporate. And your skin adjusts to UV levels, it's called a tan.
Then there's the risk of sunburn.
It's called being burnt, skin cancer.
A reality.
Only after it's burnt
and if doesn't really affect the amount of UV especaily UV B
Then pick one that requires some constant input, like trying not to fall off the windsurf.You do something fun to get tired, then relax. Go windsurfing or swimming or running or something.When at work I need pockets for tools and all sorts of things.So you only like sexual things? A nudist beach is just a relaxing place to go.
Can't imagine many jobs wwere clothes of some sort are an advantage. >> >> >> So wear a tool belt and nothing else. I guarantee you'll get laid or fired within the hour.
No, I get a stiffy as soon as a woman gets naked. But that's when we're about to fuck. Being naked on a beach isn't sexual, it's natural.to one in France and there were 3000 people, of all ages from toddlers to OAPs, all completely starkers. And guess what, I never saw a single erection.
Why would you, a female friend asked me why do men find it sexier to see her in a very short skirt, and wearing a bikini bottom as knickers,
than when she's on a beach wearing the same bikini bottom.
I said it's probbaly down to what you almost see and imagination .
That's why I don't se nudist camps as sexual, they just don;t interest me.
I don't find beaches relaxing they bore me.
I find that sort of shit boring.
Doesn;t seem to be a naturla thing to do if I needed to do things on water I'd be like jesus or
I'd have webbede feet.
Which we shouldn't be ashamed of.It's just a natural thing that has to be done.Do you get upset if you see someone stopped by the side of the road taking a leak?Years ago people got excited about seeing ankels and then knees >> >> >> >> It's pathetic. Sex is natural and we should all be fucking anyone we see.
Pissing and shitting is natural and needs doing more often , but I wouldn;t want to see someone taking a dump next to me
while I was eating or having sex.
No I've seen it but it;s not the sort of thing I find attractive.
So are lots of things.
Who's ashamed, are you ashamed to take a dump outside the local pub ?
Every time you overtake someone it's fun. And it's nice to see spectators cheering at your bare chest. I got hosed down on a hot day when running a marathon, a woman had produced a hosepipe and was cooling off anyone who wanted it.I don't like stuff like football, but a running race is fun.Not really interesting in playing sport.They're morons. Entertainment for the masses.Same with any sport I'm probbaly more interested in sport now than I was as a kid,I'm the opposite, watching is boring, participating is the fun. You don't sit and watch people playing computer games, you don't sit and watch them play monopoly. You do it yourself.
but just watching it though.
Plenty of people watch sport including darts and snooker.
Something like 9 million watched the lioness win that football trophy.
Not everyone plays football.
So what? Play something that interests you then.
for me it's about a much fun as scoring a goal.
I guess so btu I wouldn't want to spend much of my time doing it.
Rubbish, experience teaches you anything way faster, that's why kids do experiments at school and not just listen to the teacher.And there's a massive market in Esports and growing all the time.
The streaming platfom twitch.tv was set up for it.
People playing call of duty etc I know a few that watch others play. >> >> >> That's just stupid. Play the game don't watch it.
Its; a good way of leanring how to play.
They normally watch the teacher first or at least watch a utube nowerdays. >> First maybe, but you need to do something yourself to remember it.
Yep and then learn how to do it better, and there's sports science which we do here.
Also watching a video of yourself so you can see how to improve.
Even animals learn from watching .
How did you learn how to jump out of a plane they just took you up and pushed you out did they.Not much to it really. Which angle to jump, which cord to pull, etc.
Not much to it then.
There was no jumping from small hieghts learning how to fall or anything like that ?The Queen skydived?!
Well if the queen managed it iat the 2012 olypics it can't be that difficult can it.
and probbaly quite natural ;-)Royalty isn't natural.
Most animals have some sort of hierarchie and the more inteligent don't put the dumbest
as their leaders unlike humans.

That's not the defintion of marriage though.

Not sure if that's true in todays world in the UK anyway.
There;s same sex marriages
and if so called normal mairages have changed .
Not sure what you mean buy in the normal way far more married women go out to work than used to 50 years ago.
And far more people just live together in what uo might call the normal way. And when they split it doesn't get registatred as a divorce or an end to
people living together in the normal way.
There's a council estate near here which is fun to walk through. Some of the women are quite aggressive.Even the GF I had in the band was going to marry a guy named dave, I'd heard this romour and when I asked her about it she said yesROFL! You meet interesting people.
it's gay dave he agreed to marry me so I can get a english passport , I said that won;t work he;s scottich so youd have a scottish passport.
She was a bit confused at the point but I had to explain that is was a joke and that;s she;s have a EU passport.
After we split she found herself an Engish BF and a year later she married him , I was the photographer and the cocktail maker at her wedding.
She made the punch lots of loverly alcohol but insisted it was springled with a few grams of speed.
They aren't together now she is back in finland and isna facebook friend, no idea what happened to him though.
Yeah a line of fun, wierd or problematic.
Talking of which my ex french flatmate told me she is moving in with her boyfriend she says they have the same mentality.
Sounds like a disaster about to happen.
Yes I can imagine, there's always been the battle axe type but I also think women have become more aggressive over recent times.
Glass is heavier than water.They kept having to drain our pool as someone that hatted swimming kept throwing a brick though the window and glass would end up ion teh pool.Just send someone in with a dustpan and brush.
Happened quite a few times .
Not sure those work underwater.
But brushing it up moves it around, and yuo could never be sire you'd get it all, it's not like it just falls in a nice neat pile below the window.
I have a 135 IQ and I thought it was funny.When I were a lad near Dundee (rough place where they set fire to police cars) someone decided it would be funny to jam a razor blade in the join in one of the water slides.
Strange the way those of lower IQ have a differnt sense of humour.
Who tested you ? I did an online test years ago aftter a few beers got about 133 a friend who got 140 but he only failed to get into MENSA by a few points.
Not sure I;d trust any figure unless it was an offically done test.
Bullshit, when younger their parents are who they like.You said closer to zero a minute ago.I'd like one. Be better to give it your full attention.Like you can control if they're girls. Could have an abortion if they're the wrong one I guess.One of my girlfriends was married with 4 kids. She kept thinking about leaving him for me, but living in a seperate house nearby as two people, 15 parrots, and 4 kids in one house would be a fucking mess.
Yeah 4 kids , an Irish GF said she wanted to have 5 daughters as she was one of 5 girls.
Closests I;ve ever come to a heart attack was when she cuddeld up to me saying I'd really like 5 children.. all girls...
I wouldn;t of cared what gender they were but 5 is far too many I was thuinking cloers to zero.
I think 2 is a good number, 3 perhaps .
For me personally yes ZERO, but generally speaking for the good of the kids they need a sibling or two.
Single kids I know are much happier. More attention more money sent on them, bigger inheritance. Most kids prefer friends not siblings.
Not in the early years.
Most kids seem to what a brother or a sister.
But that gut bacteria depends on your genes too presumably. If you see fat parents, chances are the kids are fat too.Bollocks. Calories are calories. People are fat or thin based on genetics. We need to stop the unhealthy blobs breeding.Little evidence of that it's why so many are obsese.That's the amount not the type.
it's the amount of fat, sugar and salt in processed food, that is the problem.
genetics is 30-70% of it, and it;s down top gut and other bacteria. Theres a process that's been discovered over the last few years that involves

Yes you can inherit fatness just like you can inteligence or athleticism and many other things.
Weirdly you can inherit fitness you've created. You can decide to do loads of exercise, then that gets passed onto your kids.
Yep even looks and interests to some extent. Kids can be interested in what their parents do and in the earlier years follow what they do.
Childish shite and simply drawn cartoons that belong in the 70s. What happened to CGI?check out the southpark episode Turd burglers ;-)I hate that program.
Why ?
It's for people with little imagination.
Brown fat cells create heat directly.Why are there more unhealthy blods and fat isn't just fat there is at least two types I know of brown and white fat.Brown fat is what stops you being a sissy in cold water.
Where do you get that idea from ?
That's why brown fat is consiideredd good but you cna only generate a certain amount of it, then it goes to white fat
which doen't get burnt up as easlity and this is when people but on weight and get fat.
So can nutritionists. Look at the number of times they changed their minds which fats were best for you.And us. I can smell what's good for me. We also get a desire for a certain food, I bet that's our brain requiring certain nutrients.They don;t need to, this is why horses and even dogs eat their own shit as they know they contain something they needThey know what's poisonous, but I doubt they have a grasp of vitamins. >> >> >I doubt any animal knows which food is better for it. It eats what's available or tasty.after all animals in the wild often don't get a choice.
They do, animals can usually eat what is aviable if the right food suff doesn't exist then the species doesn't survive
It's what survival of the fitest really means it's not about who is the stonger indivudual.
They do they have senses and experience.
Some get it wrong, but generally in the wild they are OK.
They have eyes and a nose they can use.
that isn's passed to them in the first 'eating'.
Dogs will eat other dogs shit if they smell that it contains high levels of the things they need.
Some dogs get fed healthy dieds and they stuill shit out so called good protiens.
It happens with many animals .
True but we can also get it wrong.
Yes and even how much excercise

that isn's passed to them in the first 'eating'.
Dogs will eat other dogs shit if they smell that it contains high levels of the things they need.
Some dogs get fed healthy dieds and they stuill shit out so called good protiens.
It happens with many animals .
True but we can also get it wrong.
Yes and even how much excerciseExercise causes injuries. Sit and watch TV and live longer!

Yeah I bought it one of my whips to enforce socail distancing ;-) >> >> >> One of your whips? How many do you got?
Just two, they were bought for me a sort of joke thing.Never really used them on anyone.
Well tried cracking it a few times I'm not that good at it and it was only done na few times.
Such as in Oi where's my breakfast luv .
I prefer the real thing rather than this simulation stuff ;-)
Master or slave?
Because they're idiots. I run in shorts and bare feet.You can get arm pouches for phones. I have one, but I've only ever used it to carry a chocolate bar in a marathon - my secret weapon!My housekey is attached to my wrist strap, a little RFID tag. For money you only need 1 card, or even just your phone.Clothes are irrational.Some people can't control their emotions or acts.What's your opinion on nudist camps then?
Don't really have one I went not my sort of thing I guess.
I use mine for keeping my keys 2 bunches, 4-6 cards, a bit of money and that's just to get to work.
were would o keep your phone ?
Why do marathon runners wear so many clothes
Animals run with bare feet , some have evolved into hooves , while others have differing toes and some have fingers others have paws.
But as yet we haven't eveloved foot that run well on concrete or tarmac, some have webbing between their toes I assume you don;t.
. Of course there are even more modern things such as glass , metal even plastic (lego bricks) that are very painful if trodden on.
We even put shoes on horses .
Bullshit. I and many other people can walk over broken glass without getting cut,
and have no problem at all with running on tarmac for miles.
Your feet very quickly thicken the skin. As does any part of you, people who write a lot get thick skin on one side of one of their fingers where the pen rubs it.
and don;t chocaolate bars melt in the heat.They melt at about 27C. It's usually not that hot unless they're in direct sunlight.
Go up to around 38C in london a couple of weeks ago.
I thought you'd be running in direct sunlight .
The pouch is black so the sunlight doesn't get through.
And quite often the sun is on the other side of me, so my body shields the chocolate. Most races aren't in a straight line.
I klnow the runners and cyclists have gel packs for energy often wondered how they legistale such things.Legistale?
Legistate, or how they decide what is fair and what isn't such as amphetamine sulphate or even marijuana
The easiest thing would be to let anyone take what they like, after all it's their own bodies they're harming.
No, the tan lowers the amount that gets through.A myth.Don;t think I could cope this weather being naked pretty hot in london and the heat reflecting off the concrete .WTF? At 41C with clothes on you'd be soaked with sweat. Naked means it can evaporate. And your skin adjusts to UV levels, it's called a tan.
Then there's the risk of sunburn.
It's called being burnt, skin cancer.
A reality.
Only after it's burnt
No, you only get burnt if you suddenly increase the sun amount before your skin is used to it.
and if doesn't really affect the amount of UV especaily UV B
It most certainly does, that's the whole purpose of a tan.
Then pick one that requires some constant input, like trying not to fall off the windsurf.You do something fun to get tired, then relax. Go windsurfing or swimming or running or something.When at work I need pockets for tools and all sorts of things.So wear a tool belt and nothing else. I guarantee you'll get laid or fired within the hour.
Can't imagine many jobs wwere clothes of some sort are an advantage.
So you only like sexual things? A nudist beach is just a relaxing place to go.No, I get a stiffy as soon as a woman gets naked. But that's when we're about to fuck. Being naked on a beach isn't sexual, it's natural.to one in France and there were 3000 people, of all ages from toddlers to OAPs, all completely starkers. And guess what, I never saw a single erection.
Why would you, a female friend asked me why do men find it sexier to see her in a very short skirt, and wearing a bikini bottom as knickers,
than when she's on a beach wearing the same bikini bottom.
I said it's probbaly down to what you almost see and imagination .
That's why I don't se nudist camps as sexual, they just don;t interest me.
I don't find beaches relaxing they bore me.
I find that sort of shit boring.
Doesn;t seem to be a naturla thing to do if I needed to do things on water I'd be like jesus or
I'd have webbede feet.
It's fun though.
Which we shouldn't be ashamed of.It's just a natural thing that has to be done.Do you get upset if you see someone stopped by the side of the road taking a leak?Years ago people got excited about seeing ankels and then knees >> >> >> >> It's pathetic. Sex is natural and we should all be fucking anyone we see.
Pissing and shitting is natural and needs doing more often , but I wouldn;t want to see someone taking a dump next to me
while I was eating or having sex.
No I've seen it but it;s not the sort of thing I find attractive.
So are lots of things.
Who's ashamed, are you ashamed to take a dump outside the local pub ?
That causes a stench.
Every time you overtake someone it's fun. And it's nice to see spectators cheering at your bare chest. I got hosed down on a hot day when running a marathon, a woman had produced a hosepipe and was cooling off anyone who wanted it.I don't like stuff like football, but a running race is fun.Not really interesting in playing sport.They're morons. Entertainment for the masses.Same with any sport I'm probbaly more interested in sport now than I was as a kid,I'm the opposite, watching is boring, participating is the fun. You don't sit and watch people playing computer games, you don't sit and watch them play monopoly. You do it yourself.
but just watching it though.
Plenty of people watch sport including darts and snooker.
Something like 9 million watched the lioness win that football trophy.
Not everyone plays football.
So what? Play something that interests you then.
for me it's about a much fun as scoring a goal.
I guess so btu I wouldn't want to spend much of my time doing it.
Yeah you get a worse race time if you hang around letting the woman ogle you.
First maybe, but you need to do something yourself to remember it.Rubbish, experience teaches you anything way faster, that's why kids do experiments at school and not just listen to the teacher.And there's a massive market in Esports and growing all the time. >> >> >> > The streaming platfom twitch.tv was set up for it.That's just stupid. Play the game don't watch it.
People playing call of duty etc I know a few that watch others play.
Its; a good way of leanring how to play.
They normally watch the teacher first or at least watch a utube nowerdays.
Yep and then learn how to do it better, and there's sports science which we do here.
Also watching a video of yourself so you can see how to improve.
Even animals learn from watching .
I admit you are correct.
How did you learn how to jump out of a plane they just took you up and pushed you out did they.Not much to it really. Which angle to jump, which cord to pull, etc.
Not much to it then.
No, very simple. Easier than Call of Duty. You only have 5 things to do. Pull left, pull right, open emergency chute, discard original chute, kick legs for untangling.
There was no jumping from small hieghts learning how to fall or anything like that ?The Queen skydived?!
Well if the queen managed it iat the 2012 olypics it can't be that difficult can it.
and probbaly quite natural ;-)Royalty isn't natural.
Most animals have some sort of hierarchie and the more inteligent don't put the dumbest
as their leaders unlike humans.
We don't need leaders, we can all look after ourselves.

It's not JUST for Apple!
https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/18/22629703/apple-magsafe-charging-mfi-standard-accessory
Almost a year in, Apple’s charging tech has barely trickled out
It was out in 2006 for laptops .
It’s been almost a year since Apple first debuted the iPhone 12 lineup, and introduced its MagSafe accessory system. So where are all the MagSafe chargers?Guess they are expensive to do things that way and the p[oundshop people haven't quite managed to make one.
Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of accessory developers making cases, wallets, car mounts, desk stands, and even magnetic Qi chargers and battery packs that work with MagSafe — but almost no actual MagSafe accessories.
what sort of accessories would you want a car charger ?
meaning that device manufacturers can easily stick an iPhone 12 and a Qi charger together. (Many already have.)And that’s a big difference because of how Apple has designed the MagSafe standard. Anyone can wirelessly charge an iPhone 12 device using a Qi charger at Apple’s standard rate of 7.5W. Magnets, being a physical phenomenon, are even more universal,
official charging cable, Apple’s MagSafe Duo charger, Apple’s official MagSafe battery pack (even then, only when it’s plugged in), and a pair of pricey Belkin stands.
The MagSafe Battery Pack looks a little funny on an iPhone 12 Pro Max
But those two things alone don’t make a wireless charger a MagSafe charger; actual, Apple-approved MagSafe chargers offer a charging speed that’s twice as fast, up to 15W. And that’s only available on a paltry handful of accessories: Apple’s
s MagSafe-approved partners, leading to awkward product lineups where some MagSafe-capable 15W chargers sit side by side on a website with identical-looking 7.5W, MagSafe-compatible wireless chargers that won’t charge your phone as fast.
Theoretically, there’s no reason that Apple has to restrict 15W charging to official MagSafe chargers. Any number of Qi chargers are available that offer 15W charging speeds and work with a plethora of devices. Some of them are even made by Apple’
allowing MagSafe chargers to be built using an MFi-approved module.
This Belkin charger has MagSafe, costs $99, and charges an iPhone 12 at 15W. Image: Belkin
This Belkin charger has magnets, costs $35, and charges an iPhone 12 at 7.5W. Image: Belkin
The reason appears to be simple: Apple hasn’t actually let anyone else make MagSafe chargers yet. According to ChargerLab — a wireless-charging-focused site that’s obtained details and a unit for Apple’s MagSafe modules — Apple is only

had tried and failed to accomplish with its Moto Mods system. There were visions of port-less iPhones that could rely on MagSafe exclusively for charging and connecting to external devices.But a year out, it’s hard to feel like MagSafe isn’t a missed opportunity for Apple. When the iPhone 12 first came out, MagSafe looked like a way for the company to build an ecosystem of snap-on modular accessories, the sort of thing that Motorola
They could have done a MS and tried to write an OS for a phone and fail.

I don;t remmeber focussing being an issue but co-ordination & balance could a bit off.My balance is good, first time I ever got drunk as a teenager, my friend fell over when trying to punch me. I just sidestepped and watched him land flat on his face. We had both drunk the same and he was bigger than me.
I think its quite common to loose balance seen plenty of videos of people falling over.
It's where the term legless comes from I guess.
means nothing, if you're over the limit you are over the limit it's a mathematical fact, persaution as nothing to do with it.
if your are over the limit then you are over the limit that is the mathamatical fact.
The only way to persuade them that you are not over is if you tell them the readout is wrong and explain why.
Maybe there are exceptions, but I find the dopey folk always get drunk more.A greek student that was quite large and tubby, when we took for a drink he started it get pissed after 1/2 pint.Weak brain. The friends I had more susceptible to alcohol were the thick ones.
After a pint he had to sit down.
He was one of the cleverest students we've had a built a digitizer for displaying pictures on a BBC computer, he used to show it off at
computer exibitions as it ran and updated the screen with images from the star wars films , it copied everything from an ROM installed in the computer.
I very much doubt intoxication has any link to inteligence other than the less inteligent tend to believe it.
Cause and effect.
If you have a weak brain, it's obviously more susceptible to things.
There's no such thing as a weak brain.
Maybe the dumber you are the more you drink and then you are seen more times drunk.

It's not JUST for Apple!
https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/18/22629703/apple-magsafe-charging-mfi-standard-accessory
Almost a year in, Apple’s charging tech has barely trickled out
It was out in 2006 for laptops .If you bought Apple proprietary stuff.
No, Apple refuse to license it.It’s been almost a year since Apple first debuted the iPhone 12 lineup, and introduced its MagSafe accessory system. So where are all the MagSafe chargers?Guess they are expensive to do things that way and the p[oundshop people haven't quite managed to make one.
Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of accessory developers making cases, wallets, car mounts, desk stands, and even magnetic Qi chargers and battery packs that work with MagSafe — but almost no actual MagSafe accessories.
what sort of accessories would you want a car charger ?Why not?
universal, meaning that device manufacturers can easily stick an iPhone 12 and a Qi charger together. (Many already have.)And that’s a big difference because of how Apple has designed the MagSafe standard. Anyone can wirelessly charge an iPhone 12 device using a Qi charger at Apple’s standard rate of 7.5W. Magnets, being a physical phenomenon, are even more
official charging cable, Apple’s MagSafe Duo charger, Apple’s official MagSafe battery pack (even then, only when it’s plugged in), and a pair of pricey Belkin stands.
The MagSafe Battery Pack looks a little funny on an iPhone 12 Pro Max
But those two things alone don’t make a wireless charger a MagSafe charger; actual, Apple-approved MagSafe chargers offer a charging speed that’s twice as fast, up to 15W. And that’s only available on a paltry handful of accessories: Apple’s
™s MagSafe-approved partners, leading to awkward product lineups where some MagSafe-capable 15W chargers sit side by side on a website with identical-looking 7.5W, MagSafe-compatible wireless chargers that won’t charge your phone as fast.
Theoretically, there’s no reason that Apple has to restrict 15W charging to official MagSafe chargers. Any number of Qi chargers are available that offer 15W charging speeds and work with a plethora of devices. Some of them are even made by Appleâ€
allowing MagSafe chargers to be built using an MFi-approved module.
This Belkin charger has MagSafe, costs $99, and charges an iPhone 12 at 15W. Image: Belkin
This Belkin charger has magnets, costs $35, and charges an iPhone 12 at 7.5W. Image: Belkin
The reason appears to be simple: Apple hasn’t actually let anyone else make MagSafe chargers yet. According to ChargerLab — a wireless-charging-focused site that’s obtained details and a unit for Apple’s MagSafe modules — Apple is only
So.Unfair business tactics, a damn good reason to use anything other than Apple.
Motorola had tried and failed to accomplish with its Moto Mods system. There were visions of port-less iPhones that could rely on MagSafe exclusively for charging and connecting to external devices.But a year out, it’s hard to feel like MagSafe isn’t a missed opportunity for Apple. When the iPhone 12 first came out, MagSafe looked like a way for the company to build an ecosystem of snap-on modular accessories, the sort of thing that
They could have done a MS and tried to write an OS for a phone and fail.Instead, MS tried to make their desktop OS look like a phone (Metro). Where did they get that idiot "designer"? Bill gates said it was shite.

It's where the term legless comes from I guess.

if your are over the limit then you are over the limit that is the mathamatical fact.No, you make them think they don't have to use the machine.
The only way to persuade them that you are not over is if you tell them the readout is wrong and explain why.
Maybe there are exceptions, but I find the dopey folk always get drunk more.A greek student that was quite large and tubby, when we took for a drink he started it get pissed after 1/2 pint.Weak brain. The friends I had more susceptible to alcohol were the thick ones.
After a pint he had to sit down.
He was one of the cleverest students we've had a built a digitizer for displaying pictures on a BBC computer, he used to show it off at
computer exibitions as it ran and updated the screen with images from the star wars films , it copied everything from an ROM installed in the computer.
I very much doubt intoxication has any link to inteligence other than the less inteligent tend to believe it.
Cause and effect.What?
If you have a weak brain, it's obviously more susceptible to things.
There's no such thing as a weak brain.
Maybe the dumber you are the more you drink and then you are seen more times drunk.No, your brain is just weaker. it can't handle chemicals, or scary things, etc.

If I'm about to go 5 years into the future, that future does already exist, it's just 5 years away in that dimension, and nobody you know from this time can see it yet unless they travel in time.
Something like spacetime , if yuo travel forward in time you also have to travel in distance too.
But you do as the earth is rotating and the earth is orbiting the sun and orbiting our galaxy and the universe is expanding.
So if I go back to find van goth the earth was in a differnt part of the galaxy to what it is now.
The only real way to achive that is to bend space and therefor bent time is using gravity .
Not sure but the earth moves even rotation so if you go forward 6 months , I think you must also move too as the Earth is on the opposite. side of the sun.

Doesnt; mean she outsmarted the police though.
Only way to do that would be for teh crime not to be reported or know of. Typically the perfect murder, no body, no evidence so no one can be found guilty
The dealers ttry to stay one spep ahead but it;s more to do with the number of attempts on getting drugs through.It's fucking stupid they go after drugs at all. It's nobody's business what people put in their bodies.
Not everything is checked at shipping ports and lots more drugs get through than is found.
You just have to make sure nothing leads back to you as a dealer.
Depends on what those bodies do to others when on drugs, or what people do in order to sell the drugs.
Yeah my sister's caught fire once, that was funny, well I thought it was anyway.Mostly PVC and things like it .Yip, that's for plastic bags, not people.

Must have been one of those cheap chinese knock-off that have fake fire resistant labels.
Bullshit. Evolution works by randomness.Side effect of losing body hair , having evolved from apes.The hair isn't needed,
Hair is needed or we wouldn't have it.
For a common goal it''s not truely random.
Most humans have two eyes or at least have places for two eyes same as most mammals even birds.
If it were random some would have more others less.
Which countries are those where people walked around naked, there aren't any there's a reason for that.A lot of Africa.
Pretty low IQ generally, yet yuo'd think if that's where man first originated the IQ would be higher not lower.
Most animals are naked but maybe that's because genrally they have an IQl ess than that of a 3 year-old child.No, it's because they aren't as prudish as us. Mind you I do hate seeing cats when their tails go straight up (which they do when happy) exposing their dirty anus.
Most cats don;t have dirty anuses.
thought of it!neither are clothes. People are obsessed with being warm. They get all upset if they shiver, but for some reason are ok pouring with sweat (which is far worse as you can quickly dehydrate).
I've done running races in summer where stupid folk (everyone else in the race) had a tshirt on. I didn't. They were pouring with sweat and I was comfortable, and overtook loads of them. Several said, "that's a good idea" - they hadn't
temperature water.Most athletes do wear not very much, but there are silly rules. For example I watched a triathlon in SUMMER and they had full wetsuits on, very inconvenient when they had to strip them off to cycle. The swim was like 10 minutes in summer
Strange professonal athletes don't do it, or wear the bare minium why is that.
From 100M to the marathon if whjat you say is correct they would be wearing as little as possible.
A bicycle is not dangerous enough to need protection.Indeed, hair is a nuisance. Cyclists aswell, as it gets into wounds when they fall off.
Swimmers have their body hair, some even remove beards and mustaches, don;t see many hairy swimmers in the Olympics.
Other than perhaps shot-put and hammer.
Bicycles aren't natural though they don;t grow on trees, same with motorbikes so people wear protective gear for when they fall off.
Unless you fall off. If they hadn't had been on a bike the wouldn;t have had the accident.
Chutes aren;t natural but if you won;t to go up in an unnatrual hieght in an unnatural plane you seem to want to wear such an unnatural thing.People parachute naked. There's a famous video of someone's cock flapping about on a naked jump.
But why wear a chute it;s not natural , why not rely on nature with arms legs and cock flapping birds do it.
That's the thing humans have eveolved not to live in the natural environment.Yes, people like me will be fine, people like you will cry because there's no McDonalds.
But if yuor life is more like an chgimps with a lower IQ than most humans you'll be quite happy spending yuor time sitting around naked
and wanking yourself off, but us evolved humans havea much richer lifestyle even if we'll destroy ourselves in the not too distant future.
The Natural world will carry on, just like it did 65 million years ago, it'll just change and those most siuted to that change will prosper.
Last time I was in McDs was feb 1993 around 9am. GF liked McDs breakfasts then we went to portobello rd where she bought an old bakerlite phone.
It was bloody cold that day, & buying the phone and McDs (as previously hadn;t been to a McDs since 1991, didn't buy anything though.
But flatmate did made it memorable.

The dealers ttry to stay one spep ahead but it;s more to do with the number of attempts on getting drugs through.It's fucking stupid they go after drugs at all. It's nobody's business what people put in their bodies.
Not everything is checked at shipping ports and lots more drugs get through than is found.
You just have to make sure nothing leads back to you as a dealer.
Depends on what those bodies do to others when on drugs, or what people do in order to sell the drugs.Then do them for that, not the drugs.
Crash your car and kill somebody when sober, get into the same shit as when drunk. The end result is all that matters.
Yeah my sister's caught fire once, that was funny, well I thought it was anyway.Mostly PVC and things like it .Yip, that's for plastic bags, not people.
Most shell suits are some shitty type of plastic .
I'd probbely laugh too provided no one got too badly hurt.This was back in the 80s/90s, i don't think any of them were fire resistant.
Must have been one of those cheap chinese knock-off that have fake fire resistant labels.
Bullshit. Evolution works by randomness.Side effect of losing body hair , having evolved from apes.The hair isn't needed,
Hair is needed or we wouldn't have it.
For a common goal it''s not truely random.When major things like that happen, they die off. The one eyed animals don't have 3D vision and can't see how far away their predators are.
Most humans have two eyes or at least have places for two eyes same as most mammals even birds.
If it were random some would have more others less.
Which countries are those where people walked around naked, there aren't any there's a reason for that.A lot of Africa.
Pretty low IQ generally, yet yuo'd think if that's where man first originated the IQ would be higher not lower.They're living a nice easy life instead of working too hard like us.
Most animals are naked but maybe that's because genrally they have an IQl ess than that of a 3 year-old child.No, it's because they aren't as prudish as us. Mind you I do hate seeing cats when their tails go straight up (which they do when happy) exposing their dirty anus.
Most cats don;t have dirty anuses.How can a hole shit comes through not be dirty?
thought of it!neither are clothes. People are obsessed with being warm. They get all upset if they shiver, but for some reason are ok pouring with sweat (which is far worse as you can quickly dehydrate).
I've done running races in summer where stupid folk (everyone else in the race) had a tshirt on. I didn't. They were pouring with sweat and I was comfortable, and overtook loads of them. Several said, "that's a good idea" - they hadn't
temperature water.Most athletes do wear not very much, but there are silly rules. For example I watched a triathlon in SUMMER and they had full wetsuits on, very inconvenient when they had to strip them off to cycle. The swim was like 10 minutes in summer
Strange professonal athletes don't do it, or wear the bare minium why is that.
From 100M to the marathon if whjat you say is correct they would be wearing as little as possible.
A bicycle is not dangerous enough to need protection.Indeed, hair is a nuisance. Cyclists aswell, as it gets into wounds when they fall off.
Swimmers have their body hair, some even remove beards and mustaches, don;t see many hairy swimmers in the Olympics.
Other than perhaps shot-put and hammer.
Bicycles aren't natural though they don;t grow on trees, same with motorbikes so people wear protective gear for when they fall off.
Unless you fall off. If they hadn't had been on a bike the wouldn;t have had the accident.I've fallen off a bicycle many times, it doesn't usually harm you much.
Chutes aren;t natural but if you won;t to go up in an unnatrual hieght in an unnatural plane you seem to want to wear such an unnatural thing.People parachute naked. There's a famous video of someone's cock flapping about on a naked jump.
But why wear a chute it;s not natural , why not rely on nature with arms legs and cock flapping birds do it.Not enough feathers on my cock. Unlike this guy who has an enormous cock! https://cdn.lolhome.com/img/44/funny-picture-50.jpg
That's the thing humans have eveolved not to live in the natural environment.Yes, people like me will be fine, people like you will cry because there's no McDonalds.
But if yuor life is more like an chgimps with a lower IQ than most humans you'll be quite happy spending yuor time sitting around naked
and wanking yourself off, but us evolved humans havea much richer lifestyle even if we'll destroy ourselves in the not too distant future.
The Natural world will carry on, just like it did 65 million years ago, it'll just change and those most siuted to that change will prosper.
Last time I was in McDs was feb 1993 around 9am. GF liked McDs breakfasts then we went to portobello rd where she bought an old bakerlite phone.Bet you weren't naked though.
It was bloody cold that day, & buying the phone and McDs (as previously hadn;t been to a McDs since 1991, didn't buy anything though.
But flatmate did made it memorable.

Just two, they were bought for me a sort of joke thing.Never really used them on anyone.
Well tried cracking it a few times I'm not that good at it and it was only done na few times.
Such as in Oi where's my breakfast luv .
I prefer the real thing rather than this simulation stuff ;-)
Master or slave?
Both as a master I tell her what to cook me for breakfast and as a slave I have to eat it :-)
Because they're idiots. I run in shorts and bare feet.You can get arm pouches for phones. I have one, but I've only ever used it to carry a chocolate bar in a marathon - my secret weapon!My housekey is attached to my wrist strap, a little RFID tag. For money you only need 1 card, or even just your phone.Clothes are irrational.Some people can't control their emotions or acts.What's your opinion on nudist camps then?
Don't really have one I went not my sort of thing I guess.
I use mine for keeping my keys 2 bunches, 4-6 cards, a bit of money and that's just to get to work.
were would o keep your phone ?
Why do marathon runners wear so many clothes
Animals run with bare feet , some have evolved into hooves , while others have differing toes and some have fingers others have paws.
But as yet we haven't eveloved foot that run well on concrete or tarmac, some have webbing between their toes I assume you don;t.
. Of course there are even more modern things such as glass , metal even plastic (lego bricks) that are very painful if trodden on.
We even put shoes on horses .
Bullshit. I and many other people can walk over broken glass without getting cut,
Only if you know it is there.
and have no problem at all with running on tarmac for miles.
Even when it;s melting in the heat .
Your feet very quickly thicken the skin. As does any part of you, people who write a lot get thick skin on one side of one of their fingers where the pen rubs it.
Yes humans can adapt to the enviroment they are in but it takes time.
If it were natural to walk on glass or tarmac we'd all be born with thick skin on our feet, but we aren't.
Poeple that work harfd with their hands build up calaces and hard skin over time.
and don;t chocaolate bars melt in the heat.They melt at about 27C. It's usually not that hot unless they're in direct sunlight.
Go up to around 38C in london a couple of weeks ago.
I thought you'd be running in direct sunlight .
The pouch is black so the sunlight doesn't get through.
So it heats up black absorbs the visable wavelenghs and turns it into heat.
And quite often the sun is on the other side of me, so my body shields the chocolate. Most races aren't in a straight line.
So you can never be sure where the sun might hit you.
I klnow the runners and cyclists have gel packs for energy often wondered how they legistale such things.Legistale?
Legistate, or how they decide what is fair and what isn't such as amphetamine sulphate or even marijuana
The easiest thing would be to let anyone take what they like, after all it's their own bodies they're harming.
Perhaps it;s worth protecting people from their own stupidity.
No, the tan lowers the amount that gets through.A myth.Don;t think I could cope this weather being naked pretty hot in london and the heat reflecting off the concrete .WTF? At 41C with clothes on you'd be soaked with sweat. Naked means it can evaporate. And your skin adjusts to UV levels, it's called a tan.
Then there's the risk of sunburn.
It's called being burnt, skin cancer.
A reality.
Only after it's burnt
No, you only get burnt if you suddenly increase the sun amount before your skin is used to it.
Wgich is what happens over time usually generations, have you never wonderered why nigerains are very black but scandinavians are very pail.
and if doesn't really affect the amount of UV especaily UV B
It most certainly does, that's the whole purpose of a tan.
No it doesn't UVA & B work ddifferntly on the skin anyway.
Even black peolpe get skin cancer from the sun.
Then pick one that requires some constant input, like trying not to fall off the windsurf.You do something fun to get tired, then relax. Go windsurfing or swimming or running or something.When at work I need pockets for tools and all sorts of things.So wear a tool belt and nothing else. I guarantee you'll get laid or fired within the hour.
Can't imagine many jobs wwere clothes of some sort are an advantage.
So you only like sexual things? A nudist beach is just a relaxing place to go.No, I get a stiffy as soon as a woman gets naked. But that's when we're about to fuck. Being naked on a beach isn't sexual, it's natural.to one in France and there were 3000 people, of all ages from toddlers to OAPs, all completely starkers. And guess what, I never saw a single erection.
Why would you, a female friend asked me why do men find it sexier to see her in a very short skirt, and wearing a bikini bottom as knickers,
than when she's on a beach wearing the same bikini bottom.
I said it's probbaly down to what you almost see and imagination .
That's why I don't se nudist camps as sexual, they just don;t interest me.
I don't find beaches relaxing they bore me.
I find that sort of shit boring.
Doesn;t seem to be a naturla thing to do if I needed to do things on water I'd be like jesus or
I'd have webbede feet.
It's fun though.
Maybe that's why it;'s general the less inteligent that wear less cloths to busy fantasing over other peolpes bodies
to get anything done.
Maybe that's why there's not many inventions or even art from countries were they tend to not wear many clothes .
Ypu must know the theory of getting an infinite number of monkeys to type eventually you'd get a shakesparian phrase.
well they tried it with a lot of moneys but all that happend was the typwriter got covered in spunk.
Which we shouldn't be ashamed of.It's just a natural thing that has to be done.Do you get upset if you see someone stopped by the side of the road taking a leak?Years ago people got excited about seeing ankels and then kneesIt's pathetic. Sex is natural and we should all be fucking anyone we see.
Pissing and shitting is natural and needs doing more often , but I wouldn;t want to see someone taking a dump next to me
while I was eating or having sex.
No I've seen it but it;s not the sort of thing I find attractive.
So are lots of things.
Who's ashamed, are you ashamed to take a dump outside the local pub ?
That causes a stench.
Why do you care the wind takes it away .
Every time you overtake someone it's fun. And it's nice to see spectators cheering at your bare chest. I got hosed down on a hot day when running a marathon, a woman had produced a hosepipe and was cooling off anyone who wanted it.I don't like stuff like football, but a running race is fun.Not really interesting in playing sport.They're morons. Entertainment for the masses.Same with any sport I'm probbaly more interested in sport now than I was as a kid,I'm the opposite, watching is boring, participating is the fun. You don't sit and watch people playing computer games, you don't sit and watch them play monopoly. You do it yourself.
but just watching it though.
Plenty of people watch sport including darts and snooker.
Something like 9 million watched the lioness win that football trophy.
Not everyone plays football.
So what? Play something that interests you then.
for me it's about a much fun as scoring a goal.
I guess so btu I wouldn't want to spend much of my time doing it.
Yeah you get a worse race time if you hang around letting the woman ogle you.
First maybe, but you need to do something yourself to remember it.Rubbish, experience teaches you anything way faster, that's why kids do experiments at school and not just listen to the teacher.And there's a massive market in Esports and growing all the time. >> >> >> >> > The streaming platfom twitch.tv was set up for it.That's just stupid. Play the game don't watch it.
People playing call of duty etc I know a few that watch others play.
Its; a good way of leanring how to play.
They normally watch the teacher first or at least watch a utube nowerdays.
Yep and then learn how to do it better, and there's sports science which we do here.
Also watching a video of yourself so you can see how to improve.
Even animals learn from watching .
I admit you are correct.
How did you learn how to jump out of a plane they just took you up and pushed you out did they.Not much to it really. Which angle to jump, which cord to pull, etc.
Not much to it then.
No, very simple. Easier than Call of Duty. You only have 5 things to do. Pull left, pull right, open emergency chute, discard original chute, kick legs for untangling.
I perhaps can understand the thrill of it but I could get the same from call of duty.
Haven;t played that but have played some games on-line andn it is fun.
There was no jumping from small hieghts learning how to fall or anything like that ?The Queen skydived?!
Well if the queen managed it iat the 2012 olypics it can't be that difficult can it.
and probbaly quite natural ;-)Royalty isn't natural.
Most animals have some sort of hierarchie and the more inteligent don't put the dumbest
as their leaders unlike humans.
We don't need leaders, we can all look after ourselves.
Most can't you needed someone to fold your chute and someone to pilot the plane.

It's not like they don;t have arguments it;'s just that they seem to work things out.
Pretty useless stat. really has little meaning nowerdays.
What about those that a separated, or just married but don't live together.
Depends what you mean by successful marriage.
I have known of a few marriages for passports have taken place some are still married although they have no contact with each other.
That's not the defintion of marriage though.
So when looking at marriage stats it doesn;t mean what poee think it does.
Not sure if that's true in todays world in the UK anyway.
There;s same sex marriages
It's higher than tha, nearer 10% but it depends on who counting and in which country .
and if so called normal mairages have changed .I mean a man and a woman living together in love with each other, no stuff for green cards etc.
Not sure what you mean buy in the normal way far more married women go out to work than used to 50 years ago.
The idea of a normal marrige isn;t what it was.
And far more people just live together in what uo might call the normal way. And when they split it doesn't get registatred as a divorce or an end toIrrelevant. i'm counting those who got married then change their mind.
people living together in the normal way.
So what does that tell you.
were they wrong to get married ?
I think gradually men and women are becoming closer together.There's a council estate near here which is fun to walk through. Some of the women are quite aggressive.Even the GF I had in the band was going to marry a guy named dave, I'd heard this romour and when I asked her about it she said yesROFL! You meet interesting people.
it's gay dave he agreed to marry me so I can get a english passport , I said that won;t work he;s scottich so youd have a scottish passport.
She was a bit confused at the point but I had to explain that is was a joke and that;s she;s have a EU passport.
After we split she found herself an Engish BF and a year later she married him , I was the photographer and the cocktail maker at her wedding.
She made the punch lots of loverly alcohol but insisted it was springled with a few grams of speed.
They aren't together now she is back in finland and isna facebook friend, no idea what happened to him though.
Yeah a line of fun, wierd or problematic.
Talking of which my ex french flatmate told me she is moving in with her boyfriend she says they have the same mentality.
Sounds like a disaster about to happen.
Yes I can imagine, there's always been the battle axe type but I also think women have become more aggressive over recent times.
I guess that's the aim of equality.
Depends on the type of glass.Glass is heavier than water.They kept having to drain our pool as someone that hatted swimming kept throwing a brick though the window and glass would end up ion teh pool.Just send someone in with a dustpan and brush.
Happened quite a few times .
Not sure those work underwater.
But brushing it up moves it around, and yuo could never be sire you'd get it all, it's not like it just falls in a nice neat pile below the window.
window glass was around the pool as it was an oldish building 1900s.
i did several online tests and they all agreed within a couple of points.I have a 135 IQ and I thought it was funny.When I were a lad near Dundee (rough place where they set fire to police cars) someone decided it would be funny to jam a razor blade in the join in one of the water slides.
Strange the way those of lower IQ have a differnt sense of humour.
Who tested you ? I did an online test years ago aftter a few beers got about 133 a friend who got 140 but he only failed to get into MENSA by a few points.
Not sure I;d trust any figure unless it was an offically done test.
Not sure that means much as they are on-line tests and have certain restrictions on doing things.
Maybe a VR one might be more accurate.
I don't think MENSA would accept an on-line test.
I didn't want mine.Bullshit, when younger their parents are who they like.You said closer to zero a minute ago.I'd like one. Be better to give it your full attention.Like you can control if they're girls. Could have an abortion if they're the wrong one I guess.One of my girlfriends was married with 4 kids. She kept thinking about leaving him for me, but living in a seperate house nearby as two people, 15 parrots, and 4 kids in one house would be a fucking mess.
Yeah 4 kids , an Irish GF said she wanted to have 5 daughters as she was one of 5 girls.
Closests I;ve ever come to a heart attack was when she cuddeld up to me saying I'd really like 5 children.. all girls...
I wouldn;t of cared what gender they were but 5 is far too many I was thuinking cloers to zero.
I think 2 is a good number, 3 perhaps .
For me personally yes ZERO, but generally speaking for the good of the kids they need a sibling or two.
Single kids I know are much happier. More attention more money sent on them, bigger inheritance. Most kids prefer friends not siblings.
Not in the early years.
Most kids seem to what a brother or a sister.
I wonder if the feeling was mutual.
So you play computer games on a Commodore 64?Childish shite and simply drawn cartoons that belong in the 70s. What happened to CGI?check out the southpark episode Turd burglers ;-)I hate that program.
Why ?
It's for people with little imagination.
No but the gameplay is important far more than fancy graphics.
Brown fat cells don't burn up. They convert glucose to heat and remain there.Brown fat cells create heat directly.Why are there more unhealthy blods and fat isn't just fat there is at least two types I know of brown and white fat.Brown fat is what stops you being a sissy in cold water.
Where do you get that idea from ?
That's why brown fat is consiideredd good but you cna only generate a certain amount of it, then it goes to white fat
which doen't get burnt up as easlity and this is when people but on weight and get fat.
Yep so if you eat too much it just menas the white fat cells have to store it up as more fat.
Exercise causes injuries. Sit and watch TV and live longer!So can nutritionists. Look at the number of times they changed their minds which fats were best for you.And us. I can smell what's good for me. We also get a desire for a certain food, I bet that's our brain requiring certain nutrients.They know what's poisonous, but I doubt they have a grasp of vitamins.I doubt any animal knows which food is better for it. It eats what's available or tasty.after all animals in the wild often don't get a choice.
They do, animals can usually eat what is aviable if the right food suff doesn't exist then the species doesn't survive
It's what survival of the fitest really means it's not about who is the stonger indivudual.
They do they have senses and experience.
Some get it wrong, but generally in the wild they are OK.
They have eyes and a nose they can use.
They don;t need to, this is why horses and even dogs eat their own shit as they know they contain something they need
that isn's passed to them in the first 'eating'.
Dogs will eat other dogs shit if they smell that it contains high levels of the things they need.
Some dogs get fed healthy dieds and they stuill shit out so called good protiens.
It happens with many animals .
True but we can also get it wrong.
Yes and even how much excercise
Well everything in moderation.
Think of how many pizzas and burgers you can eat in a day just watching TV, don;t even need to ecercise to walk to the shop,
just need to have a phone nearby
Depends on the type of glass.Glass is heavier than water.They kept having to drain our pool as someone that hatted swimming kept throwing a brick though the window and glass would end up ion teh pool.Just send someone in with a dustpan and brush.
Happened quite a few times .
Not sure those work underwater.
But brushing it up moves it around, and yuo could never be sire you'd get it all, it's not like it just falls in a nice neat pile below the window.
window glass was around the pool as it was an oldish building 1900s.There are underwater hoovers for these things.
i did several online tests and they all agreed within a couple of points.I have a 135 IQ and I thought it was funny.When I were a lad near Dundee (rough place where they set fire to police cars) someone decided it would be funny to jam a razor blade in the join in one of the water slides.
Strange the way those of lower IQ have a differnt sense of humour.
Who tested you ? I did an online test years ago aftter a few beers got about 133 a friend who got 140 but he only failed to get into MENSA by a few points.
Not sure I;d trust any figure unless it was an offically done test.
Not sure that means much as they are on-line tests and have certain restrictions on doing things.Like what? The test isn't that complicated.
Maybe a VR one might be more accurate.I did a real test once and get a similar result. You just sit in an exam hall and write answers on paper. No different really to doing it online.
I don't think MENSA would accept an on-line test.
I didn't want mine.Bullshit, when younger their parents are who they like.You said closer to zero a minute ago.I'd like one. Be better to give it your full attention.Like you can control if they're girls. Could have an abortion if they're the wrong one I guess.One of my girlfriends was married with 4 kids. She kept thinking about leaving him for me, but living in a seperate house nearby as two people, 15 parrots, and 4 kids in one house would be a fucking mess.
Yeah 4 kids , an Irish GF said she wanted to have 5 daughters as she was one of 5 girls.
Closests I;ve ever come to a heart attack was when she cuddeld up to me saying I'd really like 5 children.. all girls...
I wouldn;t of cared what gender they were but 5 is far too many I was thuinking cloers to zero.
I think 2 is a good number, 3 perhaps .
For me personally yes ZERO, but generally speaking for the good of the kids they need a sibling or two.
Single kids I know are much happier. More attention more money sent on them, bigger inheritance. Most kids prefer friends not siblings.
Not in the early years.
Most kids seem to what a brother or a sister.
I wonder if the feeling was mutual.Yes it was. We still only speak to each other about once a year.
So you play computer games on a Commodore 64?Childish shite and simply drawn cartoons that belong in the 70s. What happened to CGI?check out the southpark episode Turd burglers ;-)I hate that program.
Why ?
It's for people with little imagination.
No but the gameplay is important far more than fancy graphics.Indeed, I play Civilization. But you don't need 3D stuff for strategy. But i still wouldn't play Civilization version 1 with 90s graphics.

Brown fat cells don't burn up. They convert glucose to heat and remain there.Brown fat cells create heat directly.Why are there more unhealthy blods and fat isn't just fat there is at least two types I know of brown and white fat.Brown fat is what stops you being a sissy in cold water.
Where do you get that idea from ?
That's why brown fat is consiideredd good but you cna only generate a certain amount of it, then it goes to white fat
which doen't get burnt up as easlity and this is when people but on weight and get fat.
Yep so if you eat too much it just menas the white fat cells have to store it up as more fat.Unless you swim outdoors in winter, then the brown ones eat it up.
Exercise causes injuries. Sit and watch TV and live longer!
Well everything in moderation.How did this one even get into the car? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wab6qP38tYg/T2C61FITGuI/AAAAAAAACq8/Kjb3ZTDY3G4/s1600/World's+Fattest+Woman+(1).jpg

Pretty useless stat. really has little meaning nowerdays. >> >> >> >> >> It means what it's always meant, maths hasn't changed that much. It means 1000 people get divorced and 2000 live happily. Not good numbers.
What about those that a separated, or just married but don't live together.
Depends what you mean by successful marriage.
I have known of a few marriages for passports have taken place some are still married although they have no contact with each other.
That's not the defintion of marriage though.
So when looking at marriage stats it doesn;t mean what poee think it does.
Not sure if that's true in todays world in the UK anyway.
There;s same sex marriages
It's higher than tha, nearer 10% but it depends on who counting and in which country .i thought it was 4% of men and 5% of women. i can't believe 1 in 10 people I meet are gay.
For the USA:
https://www.gaytravel.com/gay-blog/lgbt-population-statistics
ROFL! 4.5% of Americans identify as gay or bisexual, yet 8.2% have engaged in same sex sex. So er.... gay rape?
and if so called normal mairages have changed .I mean a man and a woman living together in love with each other, no stuff for green cards etc.
Not sure what you mean buy in the normal way far more married women go out to work than used to 50 years ago.
The idea of a normal marrige isn;t what it was.It's still the most common.

His second wife almost lost it when he passed away, but she was aAnd far more people just live together in what uo might call the normal way. And when they split it doesn't get registatred as a divorce or an end toIrrelevant. i'm counting those who got married then change their mind.
people living together in the normal way.
So what does that tell you.Mostly yes. They might have had 10 happy years, but a lot are very unhappy. Mind you my Uncle stayed with his 1st wife and had one child (she already had another two) for about 15 years. The child was fine with having seperated parents (basically she
were they wrong to get married ?
I think gradually men and women are becoming closer together.There's a council estate near here which is fun to walk through. Some of the women are quite aggressive.Even the GF I had in the band was going to marry a guy named dave, I'd heard this romour and when I asked her about it she said yesROFL! You meet interesting people.
it's gay dave he agreed to marry me so I can get a english passport , I said that won;t work he;s scottich so youd have a scottish passport.
She was a bit confused at the point but I had to explain that is was a joke and that;s she;s have a EU passport.
After we split she found herself an Engish BF and a year later she married him , I was the photographer and the cocktail maker at her wedding.
She made the punch lots of loverly alcohol but insisted it was springled with a few grams of speed.
They aren't together now she is back in finland and isna facebook friend, no idea what happened to him though.
Yeah a line of fun, wierd or problematic.
Talking of which my ex french flatmate told me she is moving in with her boyfriend she says they have the same mentality.
Sounds like a disaster about to happen.
Yes I can imagine, there's always been the battle axe type but I also think women have become more aggressive over recent times.
I guess that's the aim of equality.I wrote that wrong. I meant a typical man and a typical woman are no longer so different to each other. Not just emotionally but physically.
