Any question answered...

Pretty sure my parents' rarely used Sony one is going spare. I'm away for two weeks, how urgent is your need?

If you have a relatively new tv it may have this built in if you plug in an external USB HDD or flash drive.

How do I fix this? Photos arent opening on my computer.

Irfanview

Opens pretty much any raster image file. Small, free, great batch functions. Not a full image editing program, but enough that literally every image I've ever posted anywhere has been through Irfanview (and no other raster image editor) for one reason or another.

I don't live in London so it wouldn't be practical but thanks for the offer that's very kind.

@aggi It is new so I'll check and see if that works thanks.

Well me neither, but hey no worries

Are enamel paints toxic when dry?

I've made a little steel tumbler and want to paint it, I have enamel paints in various colours but I don't really want to poison anyone...

Don't.

That's impossible to really know. You are unlikely to find out without extensive testing on bunny rabbits and mice etc. The chances are stuff used for Airfix models and the like may be safe but then they're not designed for heat or rattling against teeth and the like. If the surface is good enough and you can scrounge like a champion a local plating firm might chuck it in with something else they're doing. Et voilà a chromed tumbler - much cooler.
This all depends on there being a local platers and you prostituting yourself.

Rah, guess I'll just use stainless next
Time :)

I want some cord to make a pulley for a broken zip.

The type I'm after is that stuff that you get on the end bit of USB lanyard.

Weirdly this isn't the first time I've been after some. Does anyone know what it's called by any chance?

a shoelace?

No, I'm after that specific type of thread - I guess it's some sort of nylon thread? Seems to be attached to loads of things.

I just wondered if anyone knew if it has a specific name / mm, etc.

Although I've now found that you can get various sorts of kevlar threads, which would do the same.

Webbing, you can get cotton or nylon. I use it a lot at work and always prefer to use cotton. You can get various widths and it comes on a roll so you can get as much/little as you need.

is it possible to buy miniture reproductions of famous sculptures? ideally Hepworth, or Moore.

I'm thinking of buying a Roku stick but there seem to be loads of options. Just looking for cheap, 1080p (4k not needed) and that's about it. Alternatively (this would be my preference) are any of the Android sticks any good. I had one a few years ago and it was pretty poor. Just something portable to plug into the back of a tv.

Anyone got experience with Clement Xplor USH?
I've been using them for a couple of month and feel they may be a bit more slippery than what I'm used to... Could just be coincidental though. Nearly fell off today on the little roundabout north of Lambeth bridge... Luckily I wasn't clipped in, flat pedals, and I could just about save it, would have been otherwise nasty with all the traffic around... I wasn't leaning much and wasn't going very fast either.

Probably because the knobbie on the side don't offer much grip compare to slick tyres, plus if you rode them above idea pressure, it's very slippery.

Maybe?

Be best if you specify diameter; are you referring to the skinny bit or the longer shoelacey thing?

True indeed about side thingy... But I never inflate above recommendations though. Thanks

You may even need to inflate below recommendation to get the best range of grip, speed and comfort.

MTB tyres usually recommend 40psi (ish), but even then, dropping to 20psi make a massive difference in grip allowing the tyres to spread more on the ground, ditto to cyclocross tyres that people often run at 25-35psi, way below the recommendation of those tyres just so it'll work in the mud.
