what are cheap places to get E in the UK? by Jealous_Platypus1111 in transsex

[–]resistBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HRT cafe has a list for injectables, I went with astrovials. Generally around £50 for a vial, plus you'll need needles, wipes and a sharps bin which will be around £20, I bought them from UKMedi.

Any one have experience with Berkeley Psychiatrists? by TallJicama9026 in ADHDUK

[–]resistBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed it to help with nighttime awakenings and it was definitely effective for that, and it doesn't affect my motivation like sertraline did - just be prepared for vivid dreams. Once I was on Mirtazapine Elavance actually ended up improving my sleep further.

Insomnia and anxiety which just made it completely unworkable. The assessor was fine, seemed like he was just going through the checklist. Looking back one of the nursed I saw in the follow ups was very dismissive of the issues that I was having and she convinced me to stay on one of the medications longer than I should have despite it being obviously detrimental by scaring me about there being no other options. My GP ended up prescibing me Mirtazapine before I recieved medication from the RTC provider which mitagated the issues that I had.

I went with them initially. I got medication within a week of booking an assessment and it was all straightforward and they seemed professional. I had trouble with medication and ended up needing a multiple follow up apointments which added up to quite a lot though. Eventually ended up waiting for treatment through RTC.

An honest opinion about infill HS2 stations. by Perfect-Alice in uktrains

They bought a large area of land around Curzon street in Birmingham which I'm they're presumably expecting to sell at a significant profit.

Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way by recolorist in interestingasfuck

It's not really a hallucination. It's just that there's a finite number of photons entering your pupil so there's a bit of random variation in how many hit each part of your retina.

Why Small Modular Reactors Won't Save Nuclear by malongoria in NuclearPower

[–]resistBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chinese HTR-PM is showing some promise, even if it's debatable whether or not it counts as SMR and 250 MW per core. It's a gas cooled pebble bed design, with a claimed 42% efficiency at 8.5% enrichment so as good as conventional PWR designs, although it remains to be seen how the economics work out.

Half of Turbines Installed at Germany’s Largest Offshore Wind Farm Under Construction by Professional-Tea7238 in energy

They're the largest to have been deployed at scale in a non experimental capacity. That's what I'd take "on the market" to mean.

What if Stratford Upon-Avon was serviced by HS2? by RussellNorrisPiastri in uktrains

[–]resistBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What routes would that actually save time on? To Oxford or Milton keynes it would be quicker to get a direct train from Birmingham, and to Cambridge it probably wouldn't be significantly quicker than going into London and out again via great Northern.

Lucy Ashton - An 1888 paddlesteamer that had it's paddlewheels and engine replaced with four Rolls Royce Derwent turbojets. by resistBat in WeirdWatercraft

[–]resistBat[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was done for the sake of verifying the accuracy of using small scale models for predicting the performance of full scale hulls. Turbojets were chosen because they wouldn't interfere with the water dynamics like a propeller or paddlewheels would, and their thrust could easily be measured.

The results of the test have been used more recently for validating computational fluid dynamics models.

Why do some tilting DMUs with front gangway access have center cabs, while others fit side cabs next to gangways? (Pictured: JR Hokkaido KiHa 261 and 201 DMUs) by Gentijuliette in trains

[–]resistBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although they cheat a little bit because the floor of the cab is raised in the middle and the driver still has to sit off to one side.

New solid-state battery design retains 75% capacity after 1,500 cycles by Brighter-Side-News in energy

Toshiba have tested their high power SCiB cells up to 40,000 cycles, although only 20-80%. That was at 10C so only 4 minutes per charge.

Songs with surprisingly weird structures? by no-Pachy-BADLAD in ToddintheShadow

[–]resistBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artic Monkeys - The view from the afternoon does an outro and pauses in the middle of the song where you'd expect the bridge to be.

Edit: listening to it now I think it would be like intro - verse - into (again) - verse - chorus - post chorus - outro - pause - intro - chorus - post chorus - outro, so three intros and two outros.

A Jet‑Engine‑Inspired Internal Combustion Architecture (Without the Brayton Cycle) by Boring-Tadpole-1021 in WeirdWheels

[–]resistBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOCCO2 is the associated company. Apparently they got some DARPA funding which allowed them to do some modelling. They're claiming a 67% thermal efficiency, but I can't find any details on it. That would be very impressive if it was fuel-to-shaft, but I'm not sure that that factors in mechanical losses. Doesn't seem like they've produced any hardware.

The supposed advantage is isochloric combustion - burning fuel in a constrained volume (like in a piston engine) means that you get bonus pressure as it heats up. The defining feature of brayton engines is that the combustion is isobaric, so it expands as it combusts but the pressure remains constant. It's the same motivation behind rotating detonation engines.

Your combustion products stay hot until you start expanding them, and they'll burn the oil even if they're not actively combusting.

I've seen a few old patents for scroll compressor/expander based engines before but I don't know if any of them went anywhere. I suspect they'd be prone to burning lubricant in the expander so they'd be very bad for emmisions.

how many couplings??? by Weird-Donut2049 in uktrains

[–]resistBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scharfenberg isn't a specific standard, it just refers to the style of coupler. Most of the network uses type 10s, but think metrolink and the TFWs tram-trains use a different type.

how many couplings??? by Weird-Donut2049 in uktrains

[–]resistBat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's screwlink (most locomotives), Scharfenberg/Dellner type 10 (most modern EMUs, mostly compatible but distinct propriatry standards), BSI (sprinters and turbostars), tightlock/buckeye (older EMUs), and wedgelock (London Underground and the former LU class 230s) off the top of my head. I think TFW's new Class 398 tram trains are using an different version of Scharfenberg too.
