Any person who professes a faith is untrustworthy or deluded, or both

That's not 'debate'.
Line crossed, for me, so TTFN.

I imagine that the Palestinian police are waiting for the blue painted Stars of David to dry on the missile fragments before displaying them as proof it was an IDF strike.

I thought that went without saying!
And chains of course.

I've installed both Nest and Hive (not at the same property) and preferred the Nest, but both are fine. I don't know if the new versions have changed but my Nest had a hub that was installed at the boiler and replaced the controller, and then the Nest display/thermostat that replaced the old thermos...

My Toyota Landcruiser Amazon 4.2 TD had a moderate under bonnet fire when the alternator decided to let go. Thankfully a fairly small dry powder extinguisher I kept in the car managed to extinguish it, and with a bit of cautionary piping replaced and a new alternator saw it back on the road. I have ...

I thought this thread was going to be about old (well, young, seeing as I've left those 'ties behind) blokes on 2-stroke bikes. My former business partner's family had never knowingly had any males make it past their 60th birthday without dying of a heart attack. I'd been working with him since he w...

We were in plockton over the weekend - lovely little spot. And you didn't pop in for a dram :o My brother-in-law bought HM's police Land Rover. A cousin was storing the vehicles locally, awaiting the next series that never happened once RC went all Hollywood. The LR included permanently applied mud...

I've replaced a couple of 18650 cells in duff battery packs. I got a moderately priced spot welder that's also a decent portable power pack for the mobile and other devices that need charging on the move. I've given up on my old Ryobi battery packs and just use an adapter with the DeWalt batteries. ...

The unit on which it is based is c.60dB noise level. My main concerns (other than if it'd produce enough heat...which it certainly wouldn't on its own for our house) would be: - What if it snows heavily, especially with stronger winds and the fact that if you have an ASHP you probably have a super-i...

First stage of converting the ride on mower to electric...motors have arrived!

not that the grass is ever going to be dry enough to cut again.

I practice once in a while for it by visiting Milton Keynes town centre.

The purification claims are just straight up weird. And were banned by the ASA: The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) found that while the car does filter incoming air, it still releases pollutants from tyre and brake wear, with road tyres being a huge source of toxic particle pollution. Hyunda...

This amazes me. Some dozey old 81 year old who's losing his marbles, but wants to go on. We have one go in life. Spend time with your family and grandkids. Maybe a day at the beach. No prizes or money in the grave https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66665682 He's still younger than Pelosi was ...

Not as good as the 300mph bus crash test:

And to what end? So the yanks can restore Ukraine back to being one of the most corrupt countries on the planet? I don't want any more of my tax money being given to them, I couldn't give a monkeys if it ends up being run by Russia, at least anymore than I care about who runs Somalia or any other p...

My Boss just got rid of his 100,000 mile leaf, he never complained about the battery but also founded an EV drive company, sooooo....he only got rid because he's got a fancy luxury German EV from the mothership now. I've been looking at Leafs to use the battery for home power storage, where it'd ha...

Well the only new bit is the battery and motor...both of which are notionally fit and forget. The issues I've seen mostly that are specific to EVs haven't been the battery (except on the Leaf where the battery temperature management seems non-existent) and motor, but rather the inverter, BMS, batte...

The Conservatives sacked a load of the staff who did the processing and now the backlog is absolutely huge. Thats the Conservatives fault, process them and a vast majority could now be in work and contributing to the economy instead of being held in a situation where turning to crime is their only ...

Some of you have to pay for water?

It depends where your work as well, it would be justified in an explosive factory but not an office. Phones have been known to catch fire, are they banned too? I think the comparison between mobile phone and e-scoot batteries/BMS is well off the mark. Nearly all phone batteries are integrated into ...
