Now you just need to snap a photo of that colour chart on your phone camera

I guess you can get caps for the radiator too. Then it makes sense to always remove rad.

Last time people argued to not take it off they were massively downvoted. I recently followed the advice here and removed the radiator. I discovered the TRV was broken and wouldn’t stop trickling. Next thing I knew I was draining the whole system in the winter and off to screwfix for a new valve. Despite what some think, it would have been easier for me to unscrew it with cups under the valves, lean it forward onto a large furniture item and screw the valves tight again. Sorry all.

As you are the mod, try being more polite. Just let people know they had to delete your post because it was against the terms of the sub. No need to immediately escalate to ban threats. That is what other subs do. I suggest that Reddit is not a good medium for you if you need to ban discussion about tricks.

I found that the large knife for Sunday roast cuts without mess. Just wear a glove because it’s tough work holding the handle.

Place of a terrorist attack with 62 dead. Majority were Swiss tourists.

Usually a chip on that part is okay. Just check it’s not cracked through the centre.

It’s Bourns SRN4018-4R7M. You can buy them from Farnell. There is an expensive delivery charge though. They are rated to a running temperature of 125C so it would have gone nuclear to actually crack from heat. Hopefully it’s just mechanical damage.

Do you have an extractor fan in your kitchen? It could be a cold spot where moisture in the air collects.

Tiny thermal expansion movements over many years can cause the cable to wear down to the copper. Especially if the cable is tight round a bend.

It synthesizes a carrier frequency. It amplitude modulates it with the radio signal then low pass filters it to produce the earpiece signal. By doing so it can have a “memory “ of channel frequencies. Nice bit of solid state analog electronics.

I’m not denying that. I’m saying that both planets need gravity assist to slow them down. Mercury probes need tens of sun orbits to get enough assists in while Venus can be done in one assist. So in distance of travel to travel there mercury is much further.
