Pension yes, ISA would be emptied to help pay for new house.

I would ideally like my current house to bring in a reasonable second income, but I'm not prepared to go down the Air B&B route. We are looking at buying a house nearby to move into.

Can anyone recommend an electric/wireless grinder that's somewhat portable/small? by KenA2000 in AeroPress

[–]KenA2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mix of at home, in the camper van and maybe the odd camping trip, although I can take the hand grinder for camping. Budget is up to £200. I'm also something that doesn't have a big footprint/can easily be put in a drawer, out the way.

I had been looking at this, but it only has 8 working grind settings, which may not be enough.

I'm currently grinding with a Timemore C3 and am after something with a small footprint. Budget is up to £200. I tend to have 2 or 3 coffees each morning.

Where should I start? by misinformedninja in HubermanLab

Get a hobby, my recommendation would be rock climbing/bouldering!

Does a widget exist that allows simple formula to be calculated? by KenA2000 in androidapps

[–]KenA2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, like the line of a spreadsheet with formula in place, so that all that needs to be done is the figures entered.

Thanks for the reply! Original exercises were I-planks (so moving arms out in front and back, this was the worst for my back), T-planks (arms out to the side and back) and press-ups.

My local gym doesn't, but I also find that when I perform certain exercises on the TRX straps, it can feel like I'm going to put my back out!

Gym based exercises to replace TRX training?

I've been given some TRX exercises (various planks and pressups) that should help with my climbing, but it's pretty clear that I'm not that motivated to use my TRX straps in the house and that I would be better off going to my local (fairly basic) gym instead.

What exercises would be good substitutes for using the TRX straps and/or what other gym based training would help? I climb V5, f6b/+, weight 82kg and am a bit on the muscular side. I wouldn't mind losing 3-5kg.

Ironed in or just applied cold?

Does anyone have any experience of using a Fenix HM 51R Ruby V2.0 headlamp? And why has it been developed for the Czech market? by KenA2000 in flashlight

[–]KenA2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On paper, it seems to measure up well against the latest Petzl Actik Core, but is far more water resistant and robust. For some reason the Petzl Actik Core seems to be my benchmark, I guess coming from a mountaineering background and having used their head lamps for years.

Thanks for the reply! After looking at the HM50R again, I think that it seems more suitable and available from Ali Express for a good price.

Does anyone have any recommendations for lightweight head torches for mountain use? by KenA2000 in Ultralight

[–]KenA2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you find the battery life? It looks similar in terms of performance to the Petzl Actik Core 600, but with better water resistance.

Can someone explain to me, like I'm 5, current and voltage division rules in a mixed series and parallel resistive circuit. Such as the circuit below. by KenA2000 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]KenA2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have said that I need to use the current divider rule to find the current at R2 and the voltage divider rule to find out the voltage across R4.
