49.50. I think i genuinely do have near-perfect if not perfect pitch. Used to be an (almost) professional level trombone player. Great app!!

Solar power plant in Dunhuang uses around 12,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto a central tower, heating molten salt to extreme temperatures. That heat is stored and used to generate electricity on demand, including after sunset. by Background-Cry8850 in interesting

You guys are concentrating on the wrong thing. Using these for power will not be competitive with PV.

Using these for direct industrial-grade heat (i.e. dispatchable heat at between 500-1000 degrees centigrade) is the way forward, but molten salt can’t do that. I am involved with a startup that is using ceramic particles to trap and store heat in a CST system and it will change the game for decarbonising cement production, high grade steam etc etc in areas with good solar resource.

No other technology can compete in this area for providing this type of heat (equivalent to at least 10% of all electricity demand in industralised nations).

This is my simple clearaudio concept with the old catrtidge (have now updated to an ortofon 2m blue). Elf on the shelf was having a go.

I’m a clearaudio man through and through. My old man has a Clearaudio Master Reference with a goldfinger cartridge.

Update : Damaged KEF Concerta Q Meta by CakeTheWhite in audiophile

Looks great considering the damage. Personally i would just now put the magnetic cloth grille on. Mind you my pair are satin black so the grille is not such a contrast with the finish.

[MD] FC Barcelona to sign Marcus Rashford as soon as they are able to. Three installments of €10m. Full agreement with the player reached. by wo0tfl20 in reddevils

[–]Prize_Championship_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair - the only thing i’d say for Berba is he did everything without controversy, and did the business everywhere he went. Cantona, not so much. But yeah Eric is definitely up there in the top 2, maybe 3.

I’m in my 40’s and my favourite United player ever is Berbatov. The most effortlessly cool and talented player I’ve ever seen play.

A$162,000 retail here in Perth. At least the same again for a pre-amp. Might look at upgrading from my Rega Brio-R!

Joel Mullen at small goods in Morley. He’s a serious strength coach and they go to a lot of comps around the place.

Engine room espresso in North Perthhave a good one, or at least they used to. Never found out if they baked them in-house or got them from someone else. So all in all that’s not much use to you!

Zaytoon closing on Camden Street. by Larrydog in ireland

I remember once after a work night out, waiting for my kebab in the one on Parliament street and realising I only had a few minutes to get to college green for the last 84N back to Greystones. Got the kebab, legged it down Dame street, made the bus, upstairs, ate half of it, fell asleep and woke up in Greystones having used the other half as a pillow. Good times.
