My brother in Christ, how much do you know about housing? Renovations? Insulation? Mycology?
The standard that likely had not been followed was ensuring that the property was watertight to begin with.
The dry rot that is spreading through their house is effectively going to condemn it.
Your take of "hurdur, how hard could it be to do some insulation? you glue on the boards, mesh and render" is asinine at best.
Lots of these companies didn't do their due diligence to ensure the suitability of the properties before installing.
Which then disproportionately effects people who are less likely to be able to afford repairs due to them already being on very limited lower incomes, the exact reason why they are getting this work done via these schemes.
I took wouldn't want to trust the same company that put me into that position to be the one to rectify it.
Last November, the allotments at the bottom of my hill flooded for the first time since I arrived 4 years ago, this year it's arrived in October.
Last year it wasn't until March until they were walkable. I wonder how long it will be this year.
It got to about 4ft last time and seemingly poisoned the land as no-ones crops grew this year. Interestingly plums and pears did pretty well.
If you really want that passive poison effect, you need to get fiestaware: bright orange/yellow ceramics where the concentration of uranium is way higher and it's used as the glaze!
It's known to leech into acidic foods, such as tomato sauces with pasta.
I also feel like we can also add antique top hats to this; I recently found out that my grandfather's childhood top hat, which I used to play with all the time growing up, contains mercury nitrate
Out of curiosity, have you come up with a reason why it tasted so tree like?
What colour did the mead end up being?
Wow, thank you for the very thorough write-up!
I was wondering how you'd get it past the point where it's just equal pressure to the other cannister; I assume that's the reason for freezing the one being refilled, and I'm guessing the cannister that's being refilled needs to be a smaller than the one that it's refilling from?
Are you meaning because people are excited about "fusion" being a possible future energy source, whereas when they here "nuclear" their minds immediately go to weapons and fission accidents and pollution?
My friend has so far fried 4 or 5 steamdecks, ROG Ally and two power banks before he took my advice to buy a type c cable tester and to stop using any charger that didn't come with the device until he could test them.
Turned out it was a damaged cable, I think it was a CC line was no longer working.
I've had a couple of cheaper Chinese type c and usb A multi port chargers fail; I manage to fry like 3 sex toys before I realised the type A ports were outputting 12v, and at some point something went wrong and the type c fried my phone (which I guess is on me for continuing to use the charger after the issue with the type A ports)
Something semi ambient, preferably without lyrics: Tycho, Bonobo, Nujabes
Oh wow, you must learn manual, that's ridiculous! Where in the world is that?
I've not started yet, but I'm going to learn automatic when I go to learn, my GF has been learning manual for over 2 years because her dad and our friend who drives said that it makes the most sense to, when in reality that's just because of what they were told based on outdated advice.
She even has an automatic waiting for her once she finally passes, but she's stubborn and doesn't want to switch to learning automatic, it's really frustrating how stubborn she is about not giving up or approaching it from another direction.
She has dyslexia and the British Dyslexic Association even recommends that dyslexics learn automatic as it's a known thing they struggle with. She even had to write L and R on her hands, bless her.
I've heard some people benefit from intensive driving courses, where you do like 2 solid weeks of lessons then take the test, but no clue if they have those in your country
I've suggested to her, if she really wants a manual licence then get the automatic licence, then decide if she really wants the manual, as she'll be more comfortable with roads and driving and can just focus on the manual aspect
You aren't wrong, but as someone who managed to screw up and damaged the copper traces when trying to resolder an old mini-usb back onto my old keyboard; you do really need to have a good understanding and a lot of practice with SMDs and temperature control.
I went from a less than 50% success ratio when resoldering SMD LEDs to about 95% success after I bought a £20 mini-heatgun with a narrow (5mm) nozzle
+1 for prusa if you want to spend more and get something that just works with no fuss, if you're wanting to go cheap&cheerful an Ender 3 will be a good option as well if you don't mind the occasional bit of tinkering for about half the price, as it's probably one of the most supported printers by the community and newer ones come with Auto bed leveling and half of the fancy stuff you had to add on back in the day.
I'd spend any money saved building/buying an enclosure and something to run octoprint with (Raspberry pi or a spare android phone)
To add, it's often worth investing in a mini heatgun for desoldering/resoldering, typically it's near impossible to resolder the pins by hand as they are so fine.
Same with many other surface mount components
The French were actually the first to use chemical weapons, not the Germans, I believe the French initially used lachyometry agents.
They don't necessarily require a starter explosive, certain types do of course. It's more about overcoming the initial energy required, for example the arc from an electric arc lighter could probably overcome that requirement in a lot of scenarios.
For the texture/pattern around the edges where the squares are cut off; I would either remove them or taper them down towards the edges, so they are less likely to catch and eventually pull away.
Otherwise, this is a very cool idea that I'd like to see updates on!
Idk how true that is, it'll be highly dependent on what you're trying to dissolve.
This sounds to me more like the advice I've heard for using isopropyl for sterilizing equipment and surfaces, its more to do with how quickly the pure stuff evaporates. Evaporate too quickly and it doesn't sterilize, whereas 70% is best of both worlds.
I believe Australia has mandatory voting and achieves a ~95% participation of registered voters basically every election, though they do enforce it with either a day in court or a fine.
I do wonder if you fined people, or wasted a day of theirs with court, whether it would have an impact in Greece after a couple of elections?
The linked app Stremio will work on android, you just download the apk directly as it's not on available on Fdroid, the add-on will work with android and VPNs work on android either natively or via there own app, depends on who your VPN provider is.
