    43" TV recomendations?

    You won't go wrong with a Panasonic OLED. Great picture and sensible menu structure.

    lathe

    You need to careful about such generalisations to a beginner. It's true that there are a lot of dirt cheap generic Chinese lathes with square tube bars that are best recycled into tin cans. However there are some fantastic old British built lathes with solid square bars that are absolute...

    Online has just been a recent thing, but the decline has been going on for decades; The big hit to high streets has been people choosing to go 'one stop' shopping in supermarkets. Just consider how many businesses get replaced by an average large supermarket; butcher, baker, fishmonger...

    Online Safety Act

    No more so than any other age, just different problems.

    You haven't got children in the digital age then.

    Online Safety Act

    Totally different culture and set of values. All the value I've got from the internet, and I've been using it since mosaic days, has come from sites that would easily conform to the proposed regulations.

    Online Safety Act

    That's not the intention, only people trying to push their own agendas are suggesting that might be the intention. Overall what this is about is effectively trying to put the standards we already have and accept on printed communication onto the online world. I think most reasonable people...

    Gen Z and DiY

    I think it would benefit any generation. From my conversations with younger colleagues this subject just isn't taught in schools.

    Online Safety Act

    No one has said that. You've just missed the point completely and aren't following the discussion. Maybe you're happy with 'freedom of speech' if it allows people to lie, scam and manipulate vulnerable people.

    Amazon delivery speedy

    As someone in their mid 60s I absolutely love it. It's easy to forget just how difficult it could be to buy anything out of the ordinary before the internet. Wading through magazines, catalogues or the Yellow pages to find suppliers, phoning to check stock. Then either half a day travelling...

    Online Safety Act

    Lucky you. It's pretty obvious from my feed that content is being pushed at me that I've NEVER looked for or engaged with. Spotting content that I might be interested in or have searched for is easy enough. It's also easy to see the algorithm thinking I might be interested in my friends...

    Online Safety Act

    No it doesn't, and that's the problem. Read up on the Molly Russell case and you'll find that the algorithms pushed more and radically greater dangerous content to her than she ever started looking at. If you've a Facebook account you'll find that you get pushed content that you've never...

    Online Safety Act

    Twitter published it and twitter's algorithms pushed the dangerous content onto her feed. They have responsibility for it. Better moderation would have prevented her death. Similarly other people have been driven to commit crimes of violence that they wouldn't have considered if they hadn't...

    Online Safety Act

    That's a very naïve thing to say, because words lead to actions; Jo Cox, Molly Rose Russell, David Amess all recent tragic deaths caused by online words. Just consider how much harm has ben done by online radicalisation.

    Biscuit jointing ?

    Standard Biscuits vary in width and length, not thickness. There should be an adjustment for the depth of cut on the machine, usually three options, and you buy the biscuits to suit the depth of cut which in turn will depend on what you're jointing.
