How much work do you need to do?
(Will anyone notice if you are offline for a week?)
Can you take a weeks annual leave?
Is going to Starbucks and pilfering their wifi an option? (*other establishments offer free internets)
Can you go to work for a week?
As said, find someone on a different network and see if their interwebs is better, I was on 3, and it was poor, switched to Vodaphone and its all grand now.Recently our broadband went down, i went into the office, MrsDeth just emailed from her phone and said internets fucked, be back online Friday.

Unfortunately I'm just a contract worker, so I have to be online 10 hours a day. I think I'm going to try just using a hotspot on my phone and upgrading the data. The job itself doesn't require lots of data transfer so I think I ought to be fine

Is there a default recommendation for a torque wrench?
It's such a FAQ that there's even a default answer, which is UTFS

Mikrotik LTE router with cheap high-gain external directional antenna.
I have one you can borrow if you’re near East London.

Not a big windows user: If screenshots aren't in the 'Pictures' folder by default, where are they? I just hit printscreen (i think - mac keyboard) and had a sound saying an image was captured but I can't find it. Where would it be? I can't seem to paste anything into Paint

By default they only go to the clipboard, they're not saved anywhere.
Snipping tool is the current option for them. Windows key, shift + s

Thanks, but up in Scotland. Also, with my low salary it would make more sense in the end to just take a week off rather than buy anything more significant than a little USB dongle.
This sounds like quite a cool solution though and it's good to know it exists

Local library?

Most screenshot methods go to clipboard only, but Win+PrtScrn goes to Screenshots folder in Pictures folder. Screen will blink dark to indicate that it's taken a picture.

Yeah that def sounds like screenshot to clipboard. I have multiple clipboard thing set up partly because of this.

Good shout, always liked their understated design but have forgotten about them.

Does this freehub mounting look like a standard one? If so, what is it? It’s in an old, smashed Lightweight disc wheel I’ve inherited. I might want to put it back together.

Looks like a DT Swiss Ratchet freehub to me.

Is there a default recommendation for a torque wrench?
Mostly for bikes, so lower range would be required.
wont get much use so ideally not mega ££££I have a range of Norbar torque wrenches (0-20, 20-80, 60-200 or something similar).

Is there a default recommendation for a torque wrench?
Unless you get them regularly calibrated, then there's really not much point getting anything too spendy. I've got a combination of Draper and Norbar torque wrenches and drivers, but what I usually end up using is either a Ritchey 5Nm allen key driver or the Bontrager 4Nm equivalent, cos am lazy. Except for things like BBs and cranks, obviously, where 4/5Nm isn't really going to cut it.

I’m a bit confused about how those work. Do they have an external ratchet mechanism (star ratchet?) between the freehub and those splines in the hub? Or is there some kind of splined coupler I’m missing?
I got a sim for a different network that has better reception (I did have to walk around the house to find the spot with the best reception, the variation was huge going from 0.5Mbps in some places to 35Mbps in others). I used an old phone for the tethering.
I found that 30 day pay monthly sims were much better value, just ensure you cancel it within the 14 day cooling off period (I was actually told I'd get my full money back which seemed a bit surprising given I'd used 90GB of the 100GB monthly allowance).
