  1. Pussy moth cocoon? We really need an etymologist to answer
  2. So where does it sit in the range of saws or is it just for next to the chipper? You cut 3 logs on the video but would it cut half a cubic metre bulked on your 300Wh battery?
  3. So that's the piston but no rings showing? If that's the actual cylinder bore the scoring looks bad, more akin to having sucked something hard in
  4. It normally means a slight leak in the heating circuit, often only visible around a radiator tap gland as a faint greenish stain. The heat of the water having evaporated the leak before it drips.
  5. Yes I drink the Guiness if I am trying to be sociable
  6. I knew they used lead acetate in wine but assumed it was to sweeten. The early tinned foods were soldered with lead and it caused a lot of poisoning of sailors and Scott's missiom to south pole IIRC
  7. So true So true . The safe system of work (RAMS) that we saw was often 100 pages and supposed to be issued a day prior to work. In practice it was given to the person in charge (Company Obligatory Safety Scapegoat) when he collected his truck to drive the men to a site. When I was first briefed on HSaW the bloke from HSE said the risk assessment should fit on an A4 piece of paper and be read to the workers before starting work but that was in the mid 80s
  8. This is true of many technological advances, initially there is little uptake because of the expense, then a few people with borrowed money and little to lose buy into it. Many fail but the technology doesn't go away so a new batch of entrepreneurs acquire it cheaply, they now undercut the previous businesses in the field who pack up. Look at how harvesters took over in the forestry world. The winners are not the users of the technology but the sellers of it.
  9. They were wrong, it was bowel cancer 😃
  10. I identify with your earlier post. I know nothing about 6G but have learned to dread seeing the 5G signal on my phone as it hangs, whereas 4G is faster than I need.
  11. Have a look here 10 x 12V DC CCTV Female Male Power Connector Adapter Plug Jack Socket Cable UK | eBay UK WWW.EBAY.CO.UK 5.5mm x 2.1mm Female power plug connector. Male Jack Female Jack 2.1 x 5.5mm DC Power Plug Connector. DC... If you drive off attached they should pull apart
  12. Yes you can, I have been doing this with my tractor batteries. I think it is wise to put a germanium diode in one leg to each battery then in one is duff it doesn't discharge the rest, with most chargers putting out 13.5 to 14V the loss of 0.4V isn't significant. I had been using a 50W solar panel and very cheap charge controller I was fixing, it was very good until the owner collected it. A year ago I was given three 12 year old solar panels. I have one rigged up by my niece's stables to run the electric fencer using old batteries and a good 15 quid charge controller, even though it has been shaded by trees in this sunny weather , it managed 20Wh which is plenty enough to overcome the self discharge of several batteries.It does better when slightly overcast but when the sun is above the trees it puts out 90W even though it is vertical, A lady down the road has a Merc she seldom uses, I have to jump start it occasionally, she has now bought a 6.5 Amp intelligent charger which seems excellent. I can get details if you like.
  13. Mate of mine had the original picture disc. The vinyl was softer and we wore it out.
  14. Yes but the real cost to the economy will develop over the next decade or more. The russian and ukrainian people will suffer even worse than during the first cold war. Remember the cost of supporting their puppet government in Vietman cost the american economy such they had to curtail visits to the moon but their economy was already rich enough not to have to disgruntle their population.
  15. Do you fire it? There's a place nearby that has a gathering of black powder enthusiasts, the whoomph sound is quite different from the crack of guns on the adjacent army range.
