Correct. Similarly, CO2 is scrubbed from the atmosphere and discharged overboard to maintain the balance as a breathable environment. Making ones own O2 gives rise to possibility of adjusting the percentage - dropping by just a little will induce more sleep, raising it just a little heightens awareness considerably, both useful tools for different tactical environments. PH

Oh dear. Once again showing total lack of knowledge. The nuclear deterrant sails from base, gets itself lost (to all but some onboard) in a very large area and pootles about for a while until the next one has deployed and then comes back. They do not surface to replenish food. If they did, any potential adversary would merely need to follow the replenshment ship and attack while that operation was underway. Working in Barrow gives you less than any knowledge on patrol routines, as you have amply demonstrated - please stop before you make even more stupid statements on a subject about which you know nothing. PH

Sorry, no. Any suggestion whatever that ANYONE outside of some of those onboard, know where the boat on patrol is, shows a complete ignorance of operational matters. PH

Ahem... YOU said sitting on the bottom. YOU said "only the Captain and Defence Secretary" so clearly you do not "know your stuff". You may well have worked on construction of nuclear boats. That is an entirely different thing from working in them while operational. You can be educated by those with vastly more relevant training and experience, or continue to "know best". Entirely up to you. PH

Wrong. On several levels. Nuclear submarines do not sit on the bottom The seabed of the North Atlantic is, in any case, way way way below crush depth In addition to the Captain, the XO, Navigator and OOWs all know where they are. The Defence Minister most assuredly does NOT know where the submarine is. That's enough debunking of an illediated keyboard wrrior for one day I think PH (ex nuclear submariner)

A slippery slope. What is it that Putin has done that warrants a different Country to take such action? There have been (and are) countless leaders who have done, or ordered, or allowed, some or all of things Putin has done, ordered, or allowed. Should they have been assassinated? Who makes the decision on where the line is, when it has been crossed and when action is warranted? PH(ilosophyismymiddlename)

It could? With what would you target the Kremlin? Cruise missiles? Launched from where...? If your answer is "tactical nukes" then sit and think what the threat from Putin is that any such action would be in response to. Using the very weapons he threatens to use because he has threatened to use them is somewhat ugly. PH

My insurance covers me and my car whether the other party has any insurance or not. That's kind of the point of it! PH

Nonsense! "They" might well survive the initial effects, but what point an extra few months living in a cave with ever dwindling supplies? PH

A very good reason to have Class One Insurance and front/rear dashcams. PH

Of course it must. They are clearly hiding the truth. I'm sure you can explain why they would do this. Or maybe, just maybe, this supports a view that few underage kids are involved in serious accidents. PH

Not many of either tbh...you have some reliable figures? PH

I would ask any US parent why many there are allowed to "play" with real guns. And I have seen many ten year olds in many countries out on roads on bicycles which, while not as powerful as motorbikes, are just as vulnerable to being hit by ther traffic. PH

So use the passport with the stamp??? PH

To follow up for ayone interested...I bought the EZ cast and it arrived safely...set up was easy and extending screen worked well. A little bit of lag but nothing major, and watching online movie content was fine. BUT (!) both transmitter and receiver got very hot in a short space of time and given I spend hours on laptop, using TV screen as second monitor this worried me sufficiently that I decided against keeping it...picked up and returned to Lazada for full refund (less delivery charge, obv.). I will have to keep the HDMI cable for a while yet! Thanks for all the input PH

Cheers for input. What this does, thugh, is offer extension rather than merely mirroring which is (AFAIAA) all miracast, chromecast and similar do and not what I want to achieve. PH

Should have included such info at the start I guess.... this is not for watching videos particularly (though I do use HD Prime through my laptop to watch TV on the TV), but to replicate the set up I have in UK with a PC and two monitors that I can switch between (both looking at and manipulating data) easily...webpages, excel spreadsheets, word docs - to be able to view and work on two at a time, referencing one to change data in the second, for example. For such work, some (small) lag is not much of a problem. Had a reply from EZCast support: EZCast TwinX supports extension casting mode, you can press Win+P to switch Mirror/Extend mode. However EZCast TwinX needs Type C+ Display Alt mode hardware interface, so please first kindly check that your device supports Type C+ Display Alt mode for TwinX plug and play casting. Now trying to discover if I have this or not (Lenovo Ideapad 5Pro 16ACH6.) PH

I currently use HDMI cable - 20 metres of it that runs up the wall, across the concealed ceiling and down again into the back of the TV. I really would like to get rid! I see many devices that will cast the laptop screen to the TV, but most (many? all?) that don't cost £££££ seem to merely mirror the laptop screen rather than extend (so I have, in effect, two monitors). So, does anyone do this? If yes, what make and model of kit do you use? It appears that this kit does the job, but am not entirely sure: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ezcast-twinx-package-hdmi-wireless-display-usb-c-miracast-airplay-dlna-chrome-browser-mirror-iosandroidmacoswindowschrome-os-i3053229925-s11188956468.html?mp=1&spm=a2o4m.seller.list.i7.5e00346ck6g2Yw The seller says yes - well, he would, wouldn't he!! The EZCast website is not so clear; I await an answer from them. For info, laptop is running Windows 10 and has HDMI and USB c ports; TV has HDMI only. PH
