    Internet radio stations world wide

    I found this site which shows the earth and some internet radio stations broadcasting. You can rotate the earth and each green dot is a radio station. Zoom in on the dot, click to listen. A bit like flightradar24, but radio stations. It's an http site, so not a secure connection. I'm not posting...

    Adapt and Survive. In woodwork as well.

    My goodness I admire you and your very positive outlook on life. I once created a talking bar code scanner for the visually impaired. My tester was totally blind, but regularly used spread sheets. There seems to be no limits to what can be achieved. I am myself very slowly losing the quality of...

    Home vacuum advice please?

    I have one, the filter is really tough and the seal is part of the filter. I have had my machine for a few years and the filter is still fine, however I don't think you can't actually buy a replacement you would need to buy paper replacements from somewhere like here and retain the rubber seal...

    Cold water tank flooding

    First thing to check is that the overflow works. The pipe top right. I don't think that overflow would cope with full flow into the tank. The cold water feed is at mains pressure, the overflow is at the top of the tank, so won't flow away very fast. Both pipes look the same size. It is...

    ***** question of the day....

    I have been told I have Raynaud's syndrome, which affects blood flow in my fingers and toes, so it's a real problem keeping them warm in winter. I find if I keep my body core really warm, I don't suffer frozen fingers and toes so badly. I wear lots of layers of clothing. I wear thermals at this...

    Home vacuum advice please?

    I have one of these, it's brilliant. I've had it for years. I got it because it was cheap as well. I like the filter, it can be cleaned easily. I just blow it through with high pressure air, It's made from material similar to breathable membrane. The filter is really durable. The machine is...

    ***** question of the day....

    1.3W would give a sensation of heat in your foot, especially over a few hours with good socks and shoes. It's a small area to heat. It only needs to be a couple of degrees above body heat to feel warm.

    It is a beauty!! ready for the next 100 years. I like that it's sympathetically restored. It still shows it's age, but looks beautiful.

    Help ID metal bar tool - possible old railway use ??

    It's an armorer's hammer for making/repairing armor. I don't think the OP's mystery object is for that but looks vaguely similar.

    Help ID metal bar tool - possible old railway use ??

    Blacksmiths made one off special tools all the time, so it could be something like that, but no idea what it might have been for, perhaps work in progress and the wide part was going to have a hole broached in it. Could be one half of a pretty strange pair of pliers, but not completed. Perhaps a...

    Trend Airshield Pro Battery Charger

    If there was a problem, then that's probably what the little blue box will be for. Have you asked Trend? That's the best thing to do. It could just be a timer to shut off the charger after 8 hours. It's impossible to know how sophisticated the design is. but looking at the quality of what's...

    How to benefit from smart meters?

    yes, it would have to be taken before the meter to steal it. It allows the supplier to partition the supply and do a real time check of usage shown on smart meters and compare to measured power. If there is a difference, the theft is happening in that area. Then they can gradually home in on the...
