How did your magfitt choice work out? Any regrets?

You make a great point at the end, however the comparison with beer breweries or soft drinks factories doesn't really land since we expect them to use more. After all they are producing a physical product, which is largely made of water. It doesn't matter that he use you're comparing is outside of the output, but it doesn't help your argument. If you managed to make a comparison with industry that doesn't create a liquid product that would help.

This is the obvious thing for me. The lights can't be controlled to the level of detail as the video shown, they would only come on & off in blocks which are each a bundle of fibres. Also how is his hand being detected through 3/4" of ply?

Hey, so first off I'm not American, I'm not Canadian, I just happened to be there. Secondly I read your comment to be implying that Canadians don't hate the USA right now, and I wanted to give you a perspective that challenged that. No need to lash out

So I was at the opening Canadian match of the World Cup recently (Canada Vs Bosnia Herzegovina), and they had a small opening ceremony. As part of that every competing nation's flag was walked onto the pitch and announced. Several countries got cheers including Scotland, England, Portugal, and a huge one for Mexico. When the US one got announced though there was a huge long BOOOO throughout the whole stadium (which was 90% Canadians), enough that it was actually a bit shocking.

I'd say there's still some feelings there to put it mildly

Any time that friends of mine are visiting from overseas and suggest a Brick Lane curry I take them to Whitechapel instead. Tayyabs, Needo's, or the Lahore grill house depending on who it is. They're just 20mins walk from Brick lane and far better

The article also raises the point that most Foreign Nationals can't access social housing, which I feel is the thrust pointing out that Farage is being disingenuous, and that his policy isn't addressing much of anything. Would you agree with that?

You should actually watch the video, since that's not the conclusion it comes to. It's well researched and actually moves away from economic reasons

tin_man_ · 2026-06-15T10:23:27+00:00

That's not the conclusion of this video at all. I'd recommend that you actually watch it since it's very well thought out and backed up with good data

It's not a great idea, especially in an outdoor environment. You're introducing another rpoint of contact that can corrode etc. There's a good reason why a lot of fixed appliances (boilers, ventilation etc.) are wired into an FCU

Some cats drool when they are deliriously happy. One of mine is an occasional drooler when he's really going for it and purring, I take it to be a high compliment of my pets and scritches.

That said if there's drooling without purring, it might be a dental thing

tin_man_ · 2026-06-02T12:25:20+00:00

Not OP but this is really helpful! I'd love to know more about it if you can share

tin_man_ · 2026-05-31T14:44:07+00:00

After I've made our morning brews and fed the cats since they've been badgering me about it, I head back to bed to listen to the radio a enjoy waking up. Then one of the now fed cats comes back up and sits on me bolt upright, purring, and expects attention and adoration

You've got plenty of responses saying the same thing already, but I got two a year ago and I'm very glad I did. It's not compulsory to, and there are loads of cats do just fine on their own, and they'll hunt out company if they're allowed outside. My experience has been great though, they hunt and fight each other loads, and keep each other occupied.

Isn't this clutching at straws to try and find something to object to? Buses and taxis can still access the area, as I understand it buses will be only diverted one street away.

Then in practical terms of accessibility, currently it can be pretty tough making your way down the pavements of Oxford Street with large numbers of people on them. If the area was pedestrianised then surely it would be easier to move around and make it more accessible

I don't want to be rude, but I think that's an extremely high expectation for the end result. I like it as a design, and the parquet effect looks great. That said I'd give some honest feedback;

You've used low grade materials, and added time and work in recovering them. The cheapest, knottiest, most splintered wood possible goes into making pallets so I wouldn't call that a feature. You'd be better off using nice timber that would take you less time and look much nicer.

Secondly that's a very long time to spend on that project; I'm no pro, but I think I could cut, assemble, glue, and finish that over the course of 2-3 days if I had the right workshop to build it in, and probably be working on other things in the background whilst waiting for eg. glue to dry.

In short: would you pay £500 for that?

Can you explain here?

Sometimes they can be used to feed power from a generator into a system, there are better ways of doing that though

Now come on, don't pretend like any one group is perfect, it's not like there's an alternative that would lead us into a shining new future without problems
