Any question answered...

Think this may be accurate still

edit: yes apparently it still is.

What's the absolute gold standard in rich and decadent hot drinking chocolate?

Charbonnel & Walker is pretty good. The Classic 70% from Hotel Chocolat also makes a very nice drink. TBH, if you have a favourite chocolate brand, just break it up into tiny pieces and whisk lots of it into hot milk (an espresso machine steam wand works well for that).

Callebaut.

boiled baileys and a freddo frog.

Cheers!

I've tried a Jamie Oliver recipe before which I thought was pretty good. https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/ultimate-hot-chocolate

@gbj_tester and @Aroogah thanks both, just collected the wheels and as they're road wheels they're actually QR. Its for a single speed so I will try using a chain tensioner and a 'security' QR with a hex end or a deore QR

Wait.....is there a Damien trench cookbook?!?!

No, but there are mock ups on the BBC web site.

my hopes for chistmas dashed!

Have Thomson X4 stem faceplates changed over the years?

I've just got hold of a 'new' X4 stem and the faceplate looks forged, with a distinct lack of fine machining marks as per faceplates on older X4s I've had.

I know they had to change the bolts from 4mm to 3mm hex drive to reduce faceplate cracking issues caused by over-torquing, but have they since changed the way they make the faceplates themselves? Or have I got a moody unit?

I used to race on 200sci

Edit- gone.

Good Food stock (or used to stock) the Montezuma hot chocolate disks which, coupled with a frother, we've had success with #shoplocal. I can't say whether it's the gold standard or not, but it's superior to the many other fancily packaged drinking chocolates we've tried.

I'd started to answer before realizing there was a new page and @nefarious had beaten me to it:

1. Yes if it's edison screw (centre connection should be live)
   
2. Small. 3A is probably the most common for a lamp, and the current drawn by an LED bulb is very low though you might be using an older filament bulb.
   
3. I've recently used one of these with a 1950s Anglepoise, though cable clamping is by a cunning half hitch rather than screws etc.

   Also had to go back to an older glass bulb because modern LED things aren't heavy enough to balance with the existing springs...
   

It's been a while, so consider everything "if I remember correctly", plus best practice may have changed.

The reason that you're seeing conflicting advice, is that the Nitrogen Cycle wasn't understood until relatively recently: a lot of outdated advice persists.

To establish my tank I added a small pinch of fish food, before adding a pair of Zebra Danio: perhaps over 7 days.

But you need to test your water much more often, to begin with: if your tank is going bad, you need to be on top of it.

You're right about changing the water a little and often, but I think I changed more, more often: maybe one third/25% on a weekly schedule? Quite shaky on that point.

Follow the same approach to adding fish (no more than half a dozen small fish at a time).

Plecos get big, perhaps look at Glass Catfish? 130 litres is good for bottom feeders, a couple of shoals of mid/top-level fish and your highlight(s).

I may still have some books you're welcome to: remind me at the weekend, if you like.

Do you have Zs values for any of the other boards or are they theoretical? If you know the Zs value at board B, you can use the calculated R1+R2 of your supply cable to give you a theoretical Zs at board C which you can use your formula to give you PFC

Cheers man. That's how I understood it. Slowly but surely wrapping my head around this stuff!

Funnily enough I’ve just done a design project where I’ve had to do exactly this, do you know the Rating of the protective device at board B for the board C circuit? If you know that you can use the lookup tables in the regs to give maximum Zs then the adiabatic equation will give minimum CPC req.

Thanks for the reply.
Is there a newbie method of checking/list of which PDF readers would support it?
Do you happen to know if Libre Office would allow the creation of such an enabled pdf document/spreadsheet?

In my leftie/liberal bubble I am increasingly often crossing paths with small house enthusiasts and those hipsters who refurbish old vans and school busses into mobile homes.
Their aspirations to some kind of virtue annoys me anyhow, but the more particular question I am putting to you guys in this thread is to what extent they can claim to live "sustainably".

I recall a discussion earlier in this thread earlier, where Tester and others showed how crossing the Atlantic with a cruise ship isn't greener than flying as you need to factor in the fuel used to transport all the fixtures needed on a longer journey. I.e. cabins, restaurants etc.
Surely, driving around willy nilly in an old diesel powered vehicle transporting your bed, kitchen and livingroom furniture everywhere you go surely is a similar fuck you to the environment?

As for small houses, I guess I can’t criticise them to the same extent, but it’s not as if they will be using public transport much. My main worry is that they will spearhead a greater suburban sprawl out into hitherto sparsely populated areas. While the initial flag bearers of small housing may be spotless in their environmental conscience, I would assume that if this catches on the standards will slip and the result will be a chaos of small house dwellers all over the place without sensible arrangements in place for rubbish disposal, sewage, water etc.

Most tiny housers seem to be either rich and escaping to the country or are taking advantage of family wealth for either funding, location or both. It isn't a solution for housing because the density is low and the places you can site them aren't near jobs, they're near nimbys and their high land values.

They're basically static caravans, but for people who are too snooty for static caravans.

@mespilus No idea and nope. From personal experience I've found Adobe Acrobat Reader flawless (obviously) while macOS preview has a far more relaxed attitude towards showing/hiding hidden objects on mouseover/mouseoff (which would be the method I would use to implement the effect).
Test PDF hopefully attached if you want to try a few readers and see what works.
