  1. If they don't dissolve in the moat first
  2. Chemistry is really handy if you need to dispose of a body. https://people.com/john-haigh-serial-killer-acid-bath-murders-11692864 Just saying
  3. Usually dried and vac packed, cut off what you need, soak those and bung the rest in the freezer. For the collagen ones they suggest you slide them onto the funnel dry and then soak for a few minutes.
  4. Casings both natural and collagen on Lazada. 🙂 Any you don't use keep well in the freezer in a ziploc bag.
  5. Just done 4kg of bacon. Got to do ham next week. These look interesting, our local makro have stopped doing their cumberland sausages so we're going to have to make our own again. https://www.localfoodheroes.com/cambridge-sausage/ A pre-WWII recipe so it's likely very good.
  6. Are they asking for ALL these?? Ah, I see a big "3", I originally linked that to being Step 3. Did you ever find out just why the locked your account??
  7. It even tells you: - However, this is a jokes thread, if you want to discuss AI or the English language why not start a thread in an appropriate forum? Further non-joke posts will go walkabout without warning. Warfie's ghost is watching, we wouldn't want anyone to be struck by lightning (or bounced on by a trampolining elephant) this rainy season would we?? .
  8. Update. Lazada finally decided that my item was lost and refunded. As Tommy Cooper once said "It's not the principle, it's the money!"
  9. We have three "150W" solar street lights, these cost 1200Baht each back in 2020. They all still make it through the night with a decent light level 🙂 One major plus of the ones we have is that the case is screwed together (many are glued), so in the event of battery failure they can be easily fixed 🙂 I did do a thread on the beasties back then, I'll try to find it.
  10. OK. these lights are generally rated as incandescent equavalent so they seem more powerful than they really are, a "50W" flood is more like 5W in reality. The 50W unit has a 6W solar panel which would generate about 20Wh per day. 20Wh will run a 5W lamp for about 4 hours (which is pretty close to what you are seeing). 10,000mAh at 3.2V would be around 320Wh which, if real, would take that baby panel 16 days to charge!! Something isn't adding up in the specs. but I'm afraid that at that price point ... You could try leaving the beast for a couple of days with the unit turned off via the remote so it doesn't light up at night to ensure whatever battery it has is fully charged.
  11. Another one that insinuated itself into my Youtube playlist.
  12. Good point. I've added it to the ever increasing pile of stuff needed for my annual extension.
  13. I've only been asked once, it was by Air India staff at Mumbai and I was on the return half of my ticket. They were checking all passengers in the check-in queue (who were 99.99% Indian nationals of course) and evidently had a simple instruction "return tickets only". I asked for a supervisor (recovered my passport before the young lady went off with it), never saw her again and checked-in with no problem. Heathrow, with a visa, you should have no issues whatever, if you get hassle, ask for a supervisor.
  14. I would definitely file this under "do not try this at home" 🙂 Spark-gaps and discharge tubes (effectively a spark-gap in a controlled environment) do still find their uses, mostly in specialised applications. IIRC the last time I saw a small one was in a landline phone. Try a search on Alibaba to see what's available. The vast majority that are still actual discharge based are intended for radio-frequency applications. Stick to MOVs, they just work.
  15. The PEA certainly would not. Luckily for us the app was also on Madam's phone, we just didn't let it update. You could try getting the earlier version from APKPure and doing a bare install.
  16. We had a similar issue earlier this year with the PEA app, luckily the old version continued to function until another update fixed the problem.
  17. It would seems (locked thread with link to here).
  18. Let's continue in the thread linked above.
