    Steel rod/bar

    NOS - "New Old Stock" It's hard to source T Grades of HSS these days, and pretty much all of the stuff I've come by is aforementioned New Old Stock. That old HSS is only really useful (to me at least) because it can be heat-treated adequately without special equipment, and very well with...

    Recording of deaths UK

    It doesn't actually inform me about anything other than the assertions of a junior doctor who read a paper. Nor do I actually think a clinician from his specialty (chronic disease) has any particular training which makes his insights compelling or persuasive in the absence of any actual data or...

    Steel rod/bar

    West Yorks Steel would be my go to for HSS (and other tool steels) as Flat, Round or Plate, no online shop, but responsive on email and free delivery too. They definitely carry M2 and M42, possibly old T grades if you ask too. Sheffield Tooling Company sells pre-prepared HSS tool blanks, both...

    Vaccine Passports (domestic).

    With what you said in previous posts, the impression I'm taking away is that you would prefer a fully marketised system... But are well aware that it would be deeply unpopular, hence trying to divert away from it now. I continue to find all the logical disconnects between your positions...

    Vaccine Passports (domestic).

    There's a strong economic argument with data to substantiate it, to show that for provision of essential services means testing them inevitably ends up delivering worse average service at a higher overall cost. It's counterintuitive and often "Feels Wrong" because it absolutely wouldn't work...

    The most frustrating thing you have encountered lately

    I think it's the simplification process, the individual products are well built and function as intended, but a lack of contact between smart home technology developers, and the kind of installers or users who would undertake a retrofit application, means basic functionality for core...

    Laser cutter filtration?

    Having looked into this previously for more than one organisation, it's not subject to regulation: It's not a regulated activity under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 as it's: Not explicitly mentioned in the Industrial Emissions Directive, The Integrated Pollution Prevention and...

    The most frustrating thing you have encountered lately

    So I'm definitely in the "New Style Brain" Bracket, but have also always serviced my own cars... There is a reasonable amount of control electronics, sensors and wiring which makes diagnosis more complex and car specific (I have stuck to Ford and PSA cars, because I've learned the...

    The most frustrating thing you have encountered lately

    That's what irritates me, it's currently nigh on impossible to avoid being dependent on the internet and expensive to avoid a situation where the functionality of normal "dumb" switch operation is compromised. I suspect it's more lazy thinking than malice aforethought, but I'm really not keen...

    The most frustrating thing you have encountered lately

    I suppose the issue is that you're coming in with s much greater level of understanding (and desire for a level of control) than the system was designed to be optimal for. Android has been designed with a set of constraints which makes it quick and easy to produce programs which do the kinds of...

    Metal Bandsaw Restoration

    There are specific liquid gasket formulations available for exactly that purpose, I can't think of any trade names off the top of my head but I can look them up. Generic sealants might work, but may also disintegrate into the oil causing issues long term, so I would take great care using them...

    I'm just glad he hasn't outed me as a reptilian mastermind living in a cavern that used to be the "Hole in the Road"... I was quaking in my scales for a minute there, so I was.

    phosphor bronze...where?

    Thinking about it more, I suspect the metalurgy drives price more than raw material. I have two customers who specialise in castings made from closely controlled alloys, who will keep 50-100 tonnes of metal in a molten state under vacuum for several hours in order to run chemical and physical...

    Vaccine Passports (domestic).

    I was being flippant but assumed that in context the reader would be able to infer the "Duty to prevent foreseeable loss of life" in the Right to Life, rather than taking me literally I don't accuse people of killing people. Although there are statistics that demonstrate a very compelling...

    phosphor bronze...where?

    I generally find bronzes to be more expensive than brass, by way of an explanation of why that is: Phosphor Bronze is 88-99% copper, with trace amounts of phosphorus, then tin and lead as the other alloying elements... Brass can be as low as 60% copper, made up with zinc. So right away the...

    Vaccine Passports (domestic).

    Article 2 of ECHR is "The Right to Life", which imposes three duties on signatories (such as our government), the third of which is "a positive duty to prevent foreseeable loss of life." So, er... Yeah, you were saying? You can't possibly state that as a fact, because in the estimations of...

    Can I use this NOS starter

    It will work fine, but if it's similar to the MEM "Startet" starters I have of a similar vintage, it's just a mechanically latching switch with thermal cutout, and won't have NVR (no volt release) which prevents unintended restarts (especially when an E-Stop is reset), and thus would not be...

    Vaccine Passports (domestic).

    No, and as I said in my first post I think it would be a counterproductive move. But @FatmanG and @Trainee neophyte have both brought up "HUMAN RIGHTS" and "THE NUREMBERG CONVENTION" in a way which reads as if they believe that magically solves the moral dilemma and demonstrates that...

    Except it isn't... The issue with is that there's a conflict between two different rights, in choosing to not take the vaccine, you're implicitly choosing to extend the time that others are at risk of dying... Which fundimentally contravenes their right to not be dead... In not being given a...
