SteamyTea

I only go there to tease these days.

Some of us are only giving small snapshot from our own research. We have had much larger debates on this over the last decade on the green building forum.

Too true, I have never liked incentives. All it has done is helped out the USA/Canadian logging industry. Not at all, quite appropriate really. I am still doing my tree growing experiment. Though after 5 years I think I shall either: Dry them out and weigh them Plant them in Tehidy wood

Just stops the book closing don't it. There was a bit on a once popular motoring show on BBC 2 about it. And make for a noisy ride. Then a turbo, though most cars are going that way anyway. Torque is an odd thing, it does not translate directly into power, or acceleration, but you would be getting an automatic anyway these days. Manuals are rubbish.

Like dieting, wood burner use gets muddled up with lifestyle. Particulates, like lead, accumulate in the body, so adding extra into the atmosphere, regardless of the source, is a bad thing. I don't hear people saying that we should go back to leaded gasoline because of the diesel fuel scandal (which was a cheating issue, not a standards or technology one). We have alternatives, use them. And this nonsense about 'I have a bit of woodland', there are better uses for that land that can produce more energy i.e. PV, AD, Microhydro, windturbine.

Yes, and she left smiling. Seems while I was enjoying myself that things have been kicking off in the background. Damn my need for sleep.

She did

I shall have to try it, run out of hot chillies to eat now. So where is this Gummy Bear one.

Can we add TT = Turd Tube to the abbreviation list. I will smile every time I see an Audi now, or the IoM.

No, just my heart. But I have fixed the hair wrencher

I am off for a cold shower.

I better offer her the use of my Gillette Mach3, the blade is having its monthly swap out tomorrow. Born in Angola, so all very strange. Though I tell people I am 6'6", West Indian and very strong

Cause not. On 'proper' fuses, the ones with wire in them. Being the lower element, the temperature rise is very modest, and I limit the on time to less than 3 hours (after careful measurements).

15 quid for a new adapter. May have to fix her up another way.

Been checked out, I am safe to work with children and vulnerable adults. I do pretend that the courts have said that no ones children are allowed within 500 meters of me, but usually gets misunderstood. Then I get my lights punched out. I will probably stop posting when the new terms and conditions come out. Lined the cupboard walls with 100mm of PU sheet, then filled in the gaps around the around the cylinder with mineral wool. Leaving an airgap at the bottom for the cable (cause I am a good boy).

My rather cute, blonde, single female neighbour has asked me to fix this. Said it has stopped vibrating. She is picking it up later tonight. (She is really a redhead but has the decency to dye it blonde). This has gone so far off topic it is now silly

Not for me, what to see what fingering fish does to my skin

3 things here. A. Very small sample B. Treating normal allergies C. It is science, whether you believe it or not

But back to energy storage (almost) To store 24 kWh as gasoline would take about 2.5 lt.

I think he is quite the opposite, he did a good program about energy. Always hard to get a complete picture across on a short program. And he did bother to reply to me once, or twice. https://drivetribe.com/p/internal-combustion-its-all-a-bit-YZGOUlf-RnKJY2S4fdl0_w?iid=DUUZjFaPToGbFv4oPrbYPA worth pointing out that my first stint at university was studying Automotive Engineering

Pretty poor really. You could measure the thickness, find out the material and then work out the thermal losses. Before I secondary insulated my DHW cylinder, I was loosing more than I was using. Oh and don't believe the manufacturers claims, the testing regime is, to say the least, a bit odd.

"Batteries are rubbish". James May, Top Gear, 31 July 2011

I had to plug my car in today. The cold did my battery in. £14 quid for a charger and after a couple of extra cuppas, it was as good as new. Quite surprised that the battery is the original one, so 12 years old. Lead acids are great. Just going to wait till the summer to buy a new one. Today is probably not the cheapest day to get a new car battery.

Just for starters: http://www.afro.who.int/health-topics/air-pollution Statisticians are pretty good and finding out what is happening and can account for differences in populations, environments and incomes.
