    Another shooting

    I was not specifically referring to this shooter, however, on 4chan and other forums, there is a strong current of 'white replacement' theory. This did influence the Buffalo, NY shooting. If the FBI was really on top of these forums, these atrocities could be prevented. With respect to the USA...

    What are you having for breakfast?

    A bowl of jumbo oats porridge, maple syrup & powered cardamon, made with semi-milk. Along with a cup of filtered coffee and a slice of Vogels bread with 100% peanut butter. This results in lots of 'movement' a couple of hours later.

    Another shooting

    It seems clear to me that the FBI is failing miserably to keep on top of extremists in US society.

    Virgin Media

    I found this interesting comment on Virgin forums about the outdated 'contention ratios'. It would appear there can be issues with sluggish speeds in certain circumstances. "Virgin media is a little different from ADSL/VDSL ISPs though, and there is still some element of this at a local level...

    Put on with a stiff brush I guess and provides a better seal. Thanks.

    shed felting...

    I have to re-felt my log cabin/shed. The roof is exactly 5m across the ridge and I want to felt it using polyester felt with a minimum of waste (feeling eco...). Ashbrook Roofing do supply rolls of 15 year felt in 5, 8 and 10m lengths. I was thinking to buy the 10m rolls and cut in half to lay...

    What are your retirement plans (financial perspective)?

    I did get legal advice and won some compensation, but unfortunately I had quite a book of errors and warnings etc and this one was the final straw in their eyes. It was a new contract and the end user were 'threatening' to end contract. I never felt like making a big fight out of it and the...

    What are your retirement plans (financial perspective)?

    Looking back I feel very lucky I had the wherewith-all to make a complete break in 2003. I was working for a subsidiary of ITV, re-editing old movies, old soaps, US and OZ series, all for ITV and other channels. We were all paid quite well for a job that was boredom squared. The guys all used...

    a roofing question & a non-roofing question

    My cabin is raised off the ground using adjustable risers onto the floor frame. I was going to wrap the Flashband underneath the frame, since the frame is raised off the ground on adjustable risers. I was also going to paint Bostik bitumen paint over the whole area where the Flashband goes as...

    a roofing question & a non-roofing question

    Log cabin has old bitumen felt tiles that are very weathered. Do I lay new felt over old, or strip off back to T&G roof, then lay the new felt? At the base of the cabin some of the logs became rotted out and I have had to replace with treated timber infills spliced in. But this lower edge gets...

    Wire embedded glass

    Thanks for all the replies, it's to give my shed windows extra security. Although I could use polycarb, but that marks up easy.

    Wire embedded glass

    Been looking around for the glass sheet with wire embedded, but seems it might not be available. Is that the case?

    dorky idea for cyclists

    You read about so many accidents between cyclists and vehicles on our cities streets. So not allow a cyclist to wear a rotating amber beacon on their helmet? I know what you're thinking...knobs and heads comes to mind, but no, I'm thinking of something super low profile that emits a rotating...

    Where to get energy for the future

    Rolls Royce is building SMR’s, if instead of the Hinckley C monster, a contract had been given to RR to build SMR on the same site, we’d most likely have power coming out by now and an export business for RR.

    Is it possible that this government is doing something bent yet again?

    I thought Pritti Patel has the power to revoke visas and remove UK citizenships? That might hurt a lot more than a lot of the sanctions.

    Smart meter/'white' meter question.

    Prolly not relevant here, my old meter was black and ancient. The backboard was some cheap composite board and was coming loose off the wall. I complained to the supplier, who came in and very kindly gave me a new board, new meter AND moved it slightly to accommodate a kitchen refurb. All done...
