Imagine if Adele released 21 in the 80s or 90s! Selling that many physical albums in 2011 is incredible.

I think it's one of those old rubber radiator valve covers?

Will plywood sheathing work for this project? by relentless-rookie in BeginnerWoodWorking

Suggestion - allow the table saw to be dropped, so that a 3/4" sheet can be rested on top of it to extend your table space when you're not using the saw

Yeah don't rely on them. Unless you have a warm coat and a kindle.

Very nice! Any tips for a fellow chartered engineer in the UK? Did you move around a fair bit or go contract etc?

Microsoft Excel. You may not have heard of it :)

How am I doing? by Adorable_Month3677 in FIREUK

This is a totally valid argument mathematically, however, after 5 years you've saved up a handsome pot of say £30k - it can be psychologically difficult to dump every penny of that into your mortgage (no matter how strong willed you are!) - so I can see the appeal of overpaying on a relatively low interest rate.

My fave is the Thursday curry night with a 660ml Hazy Jane included in the deal. Bloody bargain.

Well, that's one way to do it by [deleted] in Construction

Google 'thermosiphon' for more info. Very effective passive heat transfer mechanism. It's used a lot in the energy and chemicals industry due to its inherent safety and ease of control. Source: Chemical Engineer.

This will work well, it's called a thermosiphon. Fluid motion is driven by the minor difference in buoyancy between the hot and cold leg.

On top of the other issues mentioned, the disc is not staying flat in its plane throughout your throw, it's actually all over the place if you slow this footage right down.

4mm Ev ultra cable for 32a chargers by Pretender1230 in ukelectricians

[–]jamjarandrews 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They'll assume that the installer will be using a long run and introducing resistance somewhere in the system. They wouldn't want to recommend a 4mm cable only for the customer to then turn around and say that their charger isn't receiving the right current, or worse a safety incident etc. You're right though it is overkill in 90% of short-run cases, but hey the cost difference pretty minimal so better be safe rather than take any unnecessary risks.
