    Yes, you're right, it's not a great deal more CO2 in the grand scheme. I'm just suggesting that war is another (unnecessary) anthropogenic source of CO2 (including the build up of the war machine)... and along with the human suffering, maybe another reason why we don't really deserve this place?

    I saw the 'Paper', when I was doing a bit of research after your first post. Certain aspects of the 'Paper' didn't make sense - for example, legitimate research papers will often have multiple authors, references don't normally include "HowStuffWorks.com", would probably list more than one...

    Mobile phone 'kill switch'...

    Yes, but you also took his link - that if you had read it, would have supported your view... And then quoted... :unsure: You're both as bad as each other! ;)

    Mobile phone 'kill switch'...

    Blimey you two! :rolleyes: The document linked above is about proposed changes to the meter inspection regimen in 2015. Prior to 2015, the inspection of meters would have (should have ;) ) been every two years - although BG already had dispensation to expand the test period, on a trial basis...

    BT 631A onto extension wire.

    It's not the prettiest solution, but something as simple as an IDC Coupler may do the job... https://connectec.uk/networking/network-infrastructure/network-plugs-and-connectors/cat-5e-6-idc-inline-cable-coupler-junction-box ...or just a terminal block! :)

    2-way switched ceiling rose

    As JohnW2 has said above... Could you provide a photo of the wiring to the back of the switches, just so we can rule out possibilities?

    Can I plug a C19 16A cable into a wall socket

    Yes And yes. https://cpc.farnell.com/unbranded/p-c20c19b1/iec-c20-m-iec-c19-f-black-1m/dp/PL15178 If you've ever unpacked Servers, or computers supplied by the pallet - it's pretty typical. The last batch of computers I unpacked (120 odd), had leads with both Schuko and BS1363 plugs included...

    Can I plug a C19 16A cable into a wall socket

    On the other end will be a 'C19' 'Female' socket. The 'C20' referred to by the 'Input Connection Type' will be a 'C20' 'Male' plug..

    Bitten the hybrid bullet!

    Apart from helping with fuel economy, apparently 0W8 helps decrease engine warm-up time - useful for all the ICE starts and stops.

    Can I plug a C19 16A cable into a wall socket

    Which means it comes with three leads* - one with a Schuko plug, one with a C20 plug... and one lead comes with a standard UK plug. There is no need to worry, it will plug straight in! :) *Confirmed from the datasheet..

    Is this board made of asbestos?

    I've used them a couple of times, the test results have always been quick. But make sure you follow the instructions carefully, for labelling and registering the test pack online. The sample only pack, is £30. To take a sample. Use an FFP3 mask or better. Dampen down the sample area first with...

    Sorry to be the one to fact check, but I'm afraid there have only been around 2000 test detonations...and two used in war. https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/nucleartesttally With around 13'000 nuclear weapons estimated to currently exist (90% owned by Russia or the US). Whether you...

    It's the scaffold pole in mid flight that I'm most impressed by! Glad you found out what the issue was. I can't imagine that the experience was a pleasant one :(

    Wiring in induction hob and separate oven

    It wasn't just the post that was deleted - Robotik itself, has been deleted! It occasionally happens when, for example, a previously banned user has re-joined, with a different username. That said, I believe the advice given was sound :)

    Mobile phone 'kill switch'...

    Whether or not it is believed, would it not be better trying to get a population to be involved in a productive endeavour; allowing them an investiture in their survival... Or would you just let chaos and civil disobedience ensue?
