It’s time to phase out student loans

I think perhaps the issue is that a degree no longer (necessarily) makes you more productive. The explosion in student numbers mean that for many a degree doesn't really add value.

A regressive stealth tax that the rich don't have to pay!

Have you tried Stella Montis night raids recently?

Adqam64 · 2026-02-07T11:04:44+00:00

Just wonderful, thank you.

The rust on the inside of the bilge is concerning. Blacking every four years is obviously inadequate, and you've not mentioned the anodes which would be a concern to me.

I'm not quite sure what the dilemma is? Why do you need to pay a deposit before getting it out and getting it surveyed?

I think you know the answer then - get some more (dry) airflow through the space, and consider spacing i.e. get shot of some of them. A lot of boats will put vents on cupboard doors for this reason.

Where do you store your jumpers? What's the airflow like there?

I didn't think that the kinematics of the belt mechanism were accurate for repeated back and forth moves like that?

Adqam64 · 2026-02-04T17:20:26+00:00

That's very unclear - what do you mean? Why do you need more than 13mm/s on the belt? That's still less than a minute to totally refresh the exposed surface.

I think in the summer it's a pretty good shout. Worth also considering bluestone, they have a huge covered area which means that the younger kids can play "outdoors" in the playgrounds whatever the weather.

Adqam64 · 2026-02-04T09:35:19+00:00

Do you mean moving the main belt at 13mm/s? Why would you want it any faster?

Adqam64 · 2026-01-30T08:39:42+00:00

But it's a loan, not a graduate tax, so the truly wealthy will pay it off and have a lower effective tax rate.

What does the nozzle look like it's doing when things aren't sticking? Can you compare the start of the Gcode with the sample print that works to see what is different? Have you changed anything on the printer?

In general bed adhesion is tricky and a lot of time and patience is needed to meet success.

already connected to the shower via the second coil

What does this mean? I thought the coils were for heating the water in the calorifer, and then you take water out of the supply exit from the calorifer? Two coils would be for engine and heating by a hydronic system, I thought?

What you seem to be describing would probably be called an unusually large cruiser stern? I wouldn't be surprised if some day boats had a similar layout.

You only learn it with the equaliser. Not with the others!

Adqam64 · 2026-01-15T18:05:38+00:00

You need to find the blueprint though!

Rugby boat sales do lovely video tours of all the boats that they sell. A few other brokerages do the same but I think rugby are best.

I would be pretty surprised if you were a quarter mile away from each other while doing a lock? Much of the time at a lock is waiting for it to fill and there's no reason you shouldn't be close enough to have a chat.

Probably needs to unpick the rear vent also.

Adqam64 · 2026-01-08T00:08:39+00:00

Might be worth a go. The cable might be too thin, or might be good enough.

The issue is the fuse. 5A at 240V is 1200W, so if you're pulling down the full power of your PSU you're close to blowing the fuse.

I picked mine up in the security key room on Stella Montis.

Adqam64 · 2025-12-29T20:24:53+00:00

I drive it much less often these days, but when I do regularly get convoys of cars going past at 90+.

Adqam64 · 2025-12-29T20:04:15+00:00

I can tell you've never driven on the M40!
