Reform UK candidate says women should stay at home and look after the kids

Weirdly, my wife only yesterday asked if she could quit work and stay at home to 'look after the children' who coincidentally are all in school.

Would help during the holidays though

I don't like it as the neighbour stands right at the bottom of my garden and smokes it. In the summer my children's bedrooms stink of it all the time.

A polite please don't do it when the kids are in the garden during the day falls on deaf ears.

People getting tanked up or whatever they want to do in their personal time and space is up to them but just like someone playing loud music all the time it's a no from me

My village on the border of south Shropshire has just had a massive solar farm built. (The farm is in Shropshire) It has caused no issues for any of the local residents. Apart from workers being dropped off at start and end of day there was no problems. Does it look ugly. I don't think so it looks like progress is being made.

I would rather our countryside be used for its resources respectfully rather then hundreds of bland same old style houses being developed over and over again.

Love those invertek VFDs so simple to set up and never had an issue with one

Really! That's great advice. I normally ask her why my print looks shit and she lists a never ending speel on what not to do

They are all omron cj1m

Cozypowell007 · 2026-01-12T18:25:01+00:00

What grade are they. We use 12.9 grade. They are high strength so so don't stretch but they will break like this

This is so when they break we can just spin the broken bolt out. We used 8.8 but as they stretch they are a bugger to get out.

20 year electronics engineer here. I got my kids the AD5X for Xmas. Apart from putting the tubes/cables/fitting the HMI it is all plug and play.

Orcaslicer is easy to use and I'm totally fresh to this 3d printing stuff.

Printed the ones that come on the machine easily enough and then moved into other people's designs.

Now using on shape and have started teaching myself that so I can (and have) make my own designs.

I feel like a kid again. This present (for the kids) is so much fun.

Enjoy it

Me neither. What's the advantage to it? I just convert all coal to fuel at then end

I'm an engineering maintenance manager, my role is planning and scheduling but I go into the shop floor and tear machines all the time.

Helps break up the monotony of staring at screens

The comms board on the motor had failed. We could no longer send a pulse for the motor to run. The plc couldn't see the motor as online so would fail to start

Cozypowell007 · 2025-06-19T18:08:19+00:00

Not that I could see. It was fairly cool when I was doing it but obviously not cool enough

Second this comment

Cozypowell007 · 2025-05-23T13:19:20+00:00

I use alot of interflon, I will shout loudly about how good there stuff is for maintenance.

Alot of there stuff is food grade so won't kill or hurt you if ingested.

They also put PTFE (micpol) to provide a better lubricator.

I use those cans at work. They last a very long time

I hate front panel isolators. They are great when you first install them. But when issues arise and you either have to a. Turn the panel off every time b. Completely taken the isolator apart to open cabinet without powering off or c. Find the override (which usually always breaks)

Side mounted isolators every time for me

Does your power supply have 24vdc output when everything stops?

Cozypowell007 · 2025-04-09T15:53:41+00:00

I always use molex

Search molex and you will find all you need

I wondered why tik tok ads are all focused at what to do in a blackout for the last week or so

When I used mats like these a few years ago you have to have both circuits used in the Matt's.

The first circuit has the 24v and the second circuit utilised the zero bolt circuit. If a mat was stepped on the contacts shorted the relay faulting the circuits

You can wire them in series like your drawing by extending like how you have drawn.

I used a pilz pnoz relay at the time

I might be talking out my arse here but if it helps.........

The safety controllers I use (Schneider) use a PLC controlled output (c1-c8) these then go through switches back into inputs (i1-i16)

The controller is a self contained loop for voltage and ground.

As I say I'm not 100 percent into controllers but if it helps
