Appreciate it is a bit of an odd one. Can anyone recommend a useful low budget Geiger Muller counter for infrequent non-critical use? I need to check some old vintage camera lenses, the likes of Super Takumar, some Zeiss and OM lenses mostly so it doesn't need to be or warrants being too...

The Dragons Den model is not a reality tv construct, it's how a lot of angel investors have assessed that form of business investment for a long time, usually because the banks won't or can't touch them. I used to be part of a similar process many moons ago (albeit not an investor myself or...

I find that a little hard to believe, he has done countless interviews on the subject across many media platforms and it came up specifically during the election campaign. He has been used as a beacon for other sufferers worldwide and praised for his determination to overcome that situation in...

Your perception of who 'The good, the bad and the grey' is is dependent on which viewpoint you have. The SvalSat facility is within a designated demilitarised zone in terms of NATO definitions. If it is been used militarily then see previous answer above. What would our 'good guys' do if...

As others have pointed out, your roof is a cold bridge and its construction method is working against you which is why you are getting condensation. An insulator between the outside an in will assist but given how easily this is happening I suspect you will just shift the problem of condensation...

You need a multi channel data logger as that will record over time all the temperatures and the activation of the pumps within that timeframe. Pico is a good brand, something like a TC08 would track up to 8 thermocouples. You could use an additional smaller and simpler separate Pico logger to...

Because we aren't the Ukraine bordering Russia???

There isn't a need for military might in terms of national defence anymore? In reality there hasn't been for quite some time now. There is no point having a flotilla of ships when the current threat is someone in their back bedroom on the internet or multiple semi-organised idealists prepared to...

Fair point...

That looks interesting. I've bought a fair bit from Chronos without any complaint in the past and they have been spot on with customer service. That's probably worth a punt at that price. The only thing that would concern me is the possible use of aluminium for the combination square blade -...

Quick update on this one (as I said I would). The parcel (from the original post) finally arrived. It actually arrived last week so over a month in delivery time. Interestingly it sat in Italy for almost most of that time period as as soon as it left Italian customs I had it in two days. I...

This ^. Manufacturing a new trailer from scratch or heavily modifying another without type approval is way more illegal than suspension limits. Perhaps give one of the large trailer builders a call and have a discussion, they may be willing to temporarily part with a suitable trailer for your...

That is already underway with multiple projects around the UK however England seem to be lacking. Out of interest; Wales is a net exporter of the electricity it generates with around 58% going over the border to England. Scotland is in a similar situation exporting around 42%. Wales and...

Yeah the only printers I haven't converted are a couple of Epson PRO 1's as the colour match is not great and that's the very purpose of these printers. I daren't look at the current cost of Genuine PRO 1 ink sets right now.

I've converted most of my printers to CISS systems, initial outlay is expensive but they tend to have an ROI within the year. A good CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System) will replace the standard ink cartridges for a print head and is supplied via tube to a top up system. Running costs are way...

Of those 695; 275 (39.6%) were killed by a sharp instrument (this is typical year on year). 23 of those were 17 or younger. 115 (16.6%) victims were killed by hitting and / or kicking. 45 (6.5%) were under the age of 16. 31 (4.5%) were killed by strangulation / asphyxiation. 39 (5.6%) were...

If your take away from all this is the definition of what constitutes a bad person then not sure you understand the problem.

The language of this being a 'bad people' centric issue and the concept that it doesn't apply to the law abiding proportion of society is a huge misconception. Not all crime involving weapons, either bladed or firearm is because a bad person went out with that weapon and the victim didn't have a...

I would add our very own Mr Sefton also has excellent videos available in this area. I suspect he is a little too modest to push his extensive wares without prompt within this thread whereas I on the other hand am quite happy to be brazen about it...
