Re: Gerrof my lawn!

@John69 Think about it for a bit.

Re: Hydrogen - Fuel of the Future

Also how the hydrogen will be stored. IIRC, standby power systems tend to spend a lot if time just - er - standing around. Hydrogen is a tiny molecule. Diesel is enormous. Diesel doesn't tend to percolate through walls and joints of containmemt. Hydrogen is a bit different. There's also the tendency of hydrogen to affect materials with which it is in contact - hydrogen embrittlement. Interesting.

Has anyone tried that Marmite with chili? It's not bad. I also happened across a jar of Marmite XO. Both rather nice.

I've also not long finished a jar of crunchy peanut butter with Marmite. Very moorish.

It's a cab innit

And me.

I'd only want to add "and piss off".

Re: Unicycle test

I'll see your diver, downhill MTB racer and skier and raise you to.......

An IT support engineer.

Re: Full charge in 10 minutes?

Those 350kW jobbies I think already use water cooled cables.

Buggrit. I meant cats.

It was a somewhat misguided ad. The intent was to sell some kind of snake oil vaporiser to calm cats with a propensity for fighting.

What the ad actually said implied something quite different, along the lines of a BOFH strategem:

"Are your cats fighting? Just plug into an electrical socket in your cat's favourite room. Recommended by vets."

Wants vs. want's

Re: Up to...

Yeah. You should be able to pay "up to" the advertised price.

Re: I can think of legit sentences with lots of ands together

I'll 'and it to you.

Re: Alarming, fired.

Yup. Buy the job then, so long as the contract was set up properly, screw then on variations. Then screw them again on the support contract. Then screw them yet again on any upgrades.

Re: Count me in

Thanks for that. Have an upvote

Re: Tut tut tut

Why use slippery paper. It will just slither off. Try a sliver of insulating tape.

Re: I replaced a network cable.

Ah yes. I recall a few years working on electronics test bench. It was amazing how you could stroll up to someone struggling to fault find, pick up the offending board and comment after less than 5 seconds "oh, that's what's wrong" and walk off. And you genuine HAD seen the problem (which was always eventually communicated to the guy. Eventually).

@ThatOne. Well he did buy an Apple device.

But Mummy it says so on <insert name of contemporaneously trendy metaverse platform> so it MUST be true.

Re: It's a sad day for this IT rag...

Agreed. The book and the radio versions were far better. You can make an office block fly in a book and on radio far better than any CGI

Re: Rather boring in contrast, but not so long ago...

I do recall seeing a scrap PC motherboard at our local enthusiasts shop, many years ago. There was a huge scorch mark cross the bottom, radiating in a manner reminiscent ot Tyco crater on the moon, away from the spot where had lain the discarded screw, down onto which said motherboard had been tightened. And then switched on....

Oddly I have been a little cautious over dropped screws since seeing that.
