Richard_C, Thank you for your message. I understand what and why you would post this. I have known the individual for 28 years and he is 11 yrs younger than me so only 61 to my 72 years. After WW2 rationing did not end until 1954 and I was born in 1948 so I have experienced a degree of...

To those who have lost a loved one my condolences. I have had time to ruminate on this overnight as I was quite upset by his response. My response ranged from annoyance, to pity to down right anger at his language. After all is said an done though I merely mentioned my disappointment at...

Boris has put paid to my meeting up with the Stockpiling friend. So I called him on the phone and we had a debate that lasted maybe 4 minutes. He got completely angry and defensive, swore a bit, called me a bas****rd and I put the phone down. Friendship lost and gone. Kind of sad...

Monday started off well today. All staff working from home. My 12 salespeople are retraining as first line of support. First 11 customers signed up to get a network link to allow us to service their AI systems. Pushing like mad to get next 180 on board. Costs are horrendous but...

I do not know except a salvaged vehicle is notified to Tesla Inc VIN data which is read by the charger and some computer somewhere says NO

So back on track with a Tesla thought. It is Tesla policy to disconnect from Supercharging any and all Teslas which have been repaired from salvage vehicles. In other words you do not own your car and can not make all of the decisions about it. Tesla policy is to deny salvage repaired...

This friends behavior got me thinking. I have today sent an email and written a letter to the CEO of Tesco to ask them to restrict sales per family unit to £100 per trolley per week. I'm not expecting any action but felt it was needed bearing in mind the NHS...

Not yet. I'm still considering but am erring on the side of confrontation. I was a bit shocked to be honest at seeing all this stuff in one place. I'm seeing him again on Wednesday so will wait until then.

Geoffery S, Yes this thread has mutated and it's probably my fault. Sorry. I will give one final update and then take it elsewhere. Its Sunday and I'm stuck in the office after helping a mate this am. I'm trying to think about what to do next week as our guys out there will be...

I've had a bit of a shock this morning. A very good friend whom I have known for over 28 years asked me to visit him and help in his workshop doing some heavy lifting. He asked me in for a coffee after and showed me his "stockpile" room. A 14ftx11ft bedroom converted with wood shelving...

Lons has provided a list of good usable fence designs. Pick one and build it. If you do not like it build the second. Al

Not a prerequisite but the wireless charging times for SS are much lower in the lab than current battery types. Thats important for business because for example a 3 day trip from Crowthorne to Lancaster to Glasgow and back via Shrewsbury would become a 4 day trip at a minimum using current...

I'm afraid that my personality is interested in NEW things and ideas. Old stuff like current EV's is fairly mundane to me. Thats why I work at AI and use woodwork to stress relieve. I have been trying to decipher a likely path for development of batteries. I have tracked 4 US...

Sorry to tell you this but it was'nt particularly you but rather the rest of the fairly preachy mob. EVs are not for me yet. Tesla are probably the best bet but still need too much time to charge and the range is too low. You stated that in 2 yrs the problem will be sorted. I do...

I went to Tesco today at 05:30 for a 6 am opening. What a joke. The store was basically 50% empty of any purchasable goods with limited piles of stuff available. By 6 am the store was basically full of people I kid you not. There were quite a few aggressive men around eg pushing a...

I don't have a fleet manager were are too small at only 58 employees. I get to add this skill to my many other hats as the owner of the biz. Looking back over the last month's thought processes I am motivated by making more profit, investing that to grow the company and EV life is a...

I'm almost reluctant to add this truth but after reading some of your comments about what I'm trying to do I need to add this in the spirit of honesty: here goes. If I can save 120,000 ++ miles per year, convert many of our service calls into video conferences and postpone the purchase of a...

Just a couple of thoughts. 1) Other or more modern/older SIP bandsaws may use the same fence so check. 2) You could buy a Kreg fence and install costs about £110.....I use one and its very good. 3) Use a clamped block of wood across the saw adjust as needed 4) Make one from wood...possibly the...

I've been through a bit of a journey re dust collection. Started with a 750w thing similar to the Axminster Craft item. It was underpowered and did not suck hard enough. Moved onto 2x Record DX4000's ( long thin workshop) which suffered from issues with unloading the collected dusts and...
