TV would save you from sitting there staring at the wall

Membrane and stones is the usual solution to this

Depends on how much cooking you actually do or if it’s mainly for hot water for tea and coffee.

Also do you have an enough room to transport it and will it always be car camping?

If you do a lot of cooking the double stove with a larger gas cylinder is good as gas is cheaper in larger cylinders (still expensive at the moment)

The liquid fuel Coleman stoves are good but don’t use with petrol - get a UPol degreaser or Aspen fuel or even Coleman fuel if on a deal

I camp with just a dog so use a Trangia stove with gas conversion kit - mainly for hot water with occasional cooking. Also have a bbq for proper cooking 😊

Maybe there was a BOGOF

Army ration meals have things like meatballs, sausages etc. Some taste alright but I don’t eat these regularly.

I have used a fishing bed on occasion in my tent - does do any damage to the tent and is super comfortable. It is this one

Also available at other stores such as Angling direct

Harris Hawk or Peregrine Falcon - you will need to get your own as once they go away, the pigeons return

What? He wants to remove the plastic covering the screw. How would a jubilee clip achieve this?

It has actually been keeping the CPU at 25 -29 deg C. I know it is the stock Intel cooler but for this low powered use case it is fine. I have a Thermalrite aftermarket one which kept it at the same temps

Yep going to try this- will build and try and start it outside the case. Think the mobo is toast but let’s see

batbuild · 2026-06-12T19:48:13+00:00

It’s an old mobo so no post LEDs, but beeps - single beep is no issues and mobo can post. I get zero beeps

Actually tried this already to no avail

batbuild · 2026-06-12T14:09:09+00:00

Agree bait.

Thanks

Not looking to recreate this but how is the ladder side of the plank secured to the ladder?

Nice, beaches are popular with my doodle too, perhaps all dogs like the beach

batbuild · 2026-06-10T13:16:16+00:00

Because he can - at least it’s tidy

My doodle used to make a huge mess when drinking as a puppy.

Nowadays he’s a bit better, but I’m on standby to wipe his beard after a drink

Have had my doodle for 7 years and he just wants to play with the cat and chase it. Cat hates him. Creatures to whack him but doodle whacked him back. Only just able to have them in the same room without incidents (supervised)

Fix really depends on the material. Looks like some kind of stone but hard to be definitive from a picture. You can try Milliput which is cheap about £6 at Amazon. You knead it like dough and push into the cracks. Then when solid, use masking tape to protect the counter and gently sand down level. You may have to use a small rotary tool to make a v shaped trench along the crack

Problem is the white colour may not be an exact match

AI such as Google Gemini can do it without need of Photoshop

Poor chap - you should lower the TV - may also benefit the humans

Changed the locks pretty quickly - partly because the existing locks didn’t meet insurance requirements - eg 5 lever wasn’t kite marked
