Point of order - the electrical grid can be really handy as a navigation aid when walking; it rarely changes (though, perhaps sadly, some long established routes are being buried here in the UK) and is fairly/very visible. Whilst the power line running down your street might not help, the line of towers across the local hillside might be the difference between wandering lost for hours and a fast route out. Map the heck out of it.
Yeh the F quickly forms a stable compound with whatever it can because it is really keen to donate it’s electron. Cl sort of bimbles about, breaking up ozone left right and centre, lending it’s electron then going “ah no I think I want that back, ta” then eventually finds something with which to bond.
Yes - Chlorine ions don’t just react with methane, they try to react with everything, including ozone… There used to be a big problem with a lack of ozone due to the use of CFCs in aerosols.
The trouble with Nvidia cards and Linux is that Nvidia decides to stop supplying the BLOB drivers at, seemingly, random. Obviously once that happens any hope of distros supporting that card with an Nvidia driver vanishes fairly rapidly. You may find the non-Nvidia driver works well enough, you may not.
Fundamentally it’s an NV problem, not a Linux one - I got caught out many moons ago with a truly ancient Quadro card.
You could argue that a distro should check your driver and refuse to install/update if it’s not going to be supported but that isn’t going to happen soon, or ever, because it’s not a distro problem it’s an NV one…
Never heard of it. Lived in England/Wales for 59 years… Will ask wife, who was a chef.
Ok. So now I know it’s what is used in steak sandwiches.
I have never heard or read its name before - mostly because it is sold in places I don’t frequent (or by food wholesalers) but also because I don’t often have steak sandwiches.
Every day is a school day I guess.
If he does it won’t make much difference to traffic flow - it’s usually at a standstill!
Because the Vikings settled and formed The Russians around Ukraine, from where they spread and eventually formed Russia.
What a small volume… Should have stuck to English measures when you escaped back along 🤣
68ml short of a Pint in my book. Dunno where they got the idea that 500ml is 1.05 pints
Err NATO-Restricted isn’t one of the highest security ratings. It’s one that’s sorta kinda a problem if it gets released rather than a “omg oh noes I am so dead if the leak gets traced to me” type problem.
It’s also actually a caveated protective marking. The NATO bit tells you that only NATO eyes can see the materiel which itself is marked Restricted.
The trouble is there are at least 3 classification/protective marking schemes that I know of and in one Restricted is used to describe materiel that is called Confidential (or is it Secret? It’s been a while) in another.
Dude, get your B12 levels checked. Was feeling old and tired, so I went to drs for something else, he ran bloods just to make sure. Came back ok except B12 deficient. Now I get a B12 jab every 12 weeks and top up with high dose B12 pills every day after 4 weeks. Tiredness gone, cold feet at night gone, visual migraines gone grumpy old git moods gone. Oh and fucking around in a good way is way more on the cards!
There was no mold - the crack wasn’t there long and there was a relatively thick adhesive bed which stopped the water getting to the cement board.
Had a crack like that… The wife said “it’s only a 5 minute job”
Sadly the (correct stuff - we rebuilt the bathroom side of the wall when we moved in) wallboard had cracked for some reason so 5 minutes to yank out a tile and stick in a new one turned into a mission - chasing the crack in the wall board, cutting the damaged bits, repairing with new pieces then replacing 4 tiles instead of one.
It hasn’t cracked again so I must have done something right (or the wall has decided to stop moving)
What’s the moral? Do not expect it to be a simple job. If it turns out to be simple, fix it, get a beer and chill. You will probably need to get a bit more involved than just replacing the tile.
Take the cash on an commercial international flight without prior arrangements being made.
Obviously you could fly it around in your own 747 if you wanted to, but border controls invariably get twitchy when comparitively small sums of cash are transported.
The T82 extremes are what we use at work… We have 10 of them and, despite being used by generally incompetent users, seem to survive day to day abuse in a high school. We have had them for nearly two years and have no casualties yet. Other schools in the area also use them - with no reported issues.
I know a couple of multi-band, so not specifically pmr, Baofeng users but can’t comment on their ruggedness or longevity other than to say I haven’t heard bad things.
Another popular brand to look at might be Hytera; possibly a bit out of budget for you. We did look at those, instead of cheaper handsets, but price won in the end.
I am a Motorola fan. Used to use their VHF kit back in the day and it took a lot of abuse.
At work we have their averagely rugged yellow things T82 iirc that work out about €35 each
At home, for the goblins, we have a pair of yellow Motos T72 iirc similarly rugged €60 the pair.
Both models have good range and are easy to set up. Work ones do group programming so you program 1 bung the rest on programming mode and transmit the config. Boom. 10 radios programmed identically in less time than manually doing 2.
They are just about as bullet proof as the cars are self driving. Dunno why anyone might think that they would actually be bullet proof, given Musk’s track record…

My wife is an introvert. It took 7 years of very innocent twice a year meeting at camp and someone else shoving us together for us to think about becoming an item. Been married for 8 years now (together for 13). Sometimes these things just happen. Top tip is not to try too hard.
The translators did a heroic job. They even changed the names to make them funnier (Getafix is Panoramix in French). I do wonder what the Corsican’s name is in French given that boneywasawarroirwayayix is very English (language and culture) specific.
As a humble brag my Pa knew Anthea Bell’s brother - she was doing the English translations.
The DLR is fully automated, though there is a fold away drivers position for use when necessary. iirc It never runs at street grade and sometimes does have software issues which makes things interesting.
I am pretty sure the victoria line has drivers for show. It was one of the very first lines to be automated and, at the time, it was thought that passengers would panic if there were no driver, so they kept with tradition.
