  It's definitely safe in the quantities used to seal small wounds under minimal tension. Very common in Emergency Depts around the country. It comes with a mini sponge cap to help application, like you'd see on bottles of carpet cleaner.

  Awful news, what a terribly implemented bill.

  Thinking practically, would a Discord work? I don't use it much but I know you create different channels (i.e. threads) within a server. I don't know where the liability would sit with something like that.

  Multiple studies show that using a mobile phone in your car has as much of an effect as being drunk, and that the effect of distraction lasts for several seconds even once the phone is put down. Ergo your control of the motor vehicle is impaired significantly, this not hypothetical.

  There is a that a reason ours laws are written with such specific wording. Rail against our current legal system if you wish, it certainly has it's problems, but CM is working within system he has available to push people to stop doing something which risks injury to others.

  What about pedestrians crossing in front of them? For example, a driver stops in front of a crossing (on green) due to traffic in front. The driver looks at their down phone. The crossing turns red for the driver whilst traffic moves on, and a pedestrian starts to cross.
  The driver now looks up, sees traffic has moved but doesn't check the lights because they assume they're green (as they were before looking at their phone) and moves forward hitting the pedestrian.

  You don't even need the lights, a pedestrian crossing the road between not-so-stationary traffic and you could have the same outcome.

  Did you just pour it out and walk away? Self-leveller is a misnomer really, you do need to help it along with levelling with a long baton then spiked roller.

  Quite commonly it's mixed with more water than the instructions state so it's even less viscous, for better results.
  Pouring another thin (i.e. dilute) layer on top will be the least work, but be aware the height difference to adjacent rooms will only increase, and that it is a dark art that requires practice so great results on your first attempt is luck-dependent.

  Awful news. I didn't really interact with her directly but her posts always got a chuckle out of me and her joie de vivre was plain for all to see.

  The Edit button at the bottom right of a post will edit the text body.

  You'll find the Edit Conversation button under the 3-dot menu in the top right of the screen, it'll take you to a new page which will allow you to rename your thread.

  (Unless Brave really has broken that functionality, in which case my apologies).

  These are great for fettling or moderate DIY, highly recommended. 2Ah batteries are bit small for longer jobs but will get you by for most things, especially 2 on rotation.
