How well are those aeroplanes maintained though? Not sure I'd risk it.

It's in the video, the insurance company paid about $8.5k and he paid another $2.5k. So you're absolutely right, that $69k bill turned into $11k pretty quickly.

The one upside from COVID; no flight will be short of hand gel to sanitise with! Actually, is hand gel even good for that?

I find it funny that the rule changes were years in the making, but nobody (or at least it seems like nobody) predicted the "porpoising" issues.

Sounds like Dacia. Or Lada, although they might be a bit tricky to export at the moment...

> Aviation is 30-40 years behind in fuels (they still use leaded gas.). In small aeroplanes yes, I don't think Jet-A has lead in though.

Tipping when you pay the bill at a restaurant is well publicised, but when you go to the bar and buy a drink is not.

There's a difference between neo-Nazis existing in a country (even being part of the army) and the country being a neo-Nazi state.

Agreed, this is a terrifying prospect. Governments, hospitals, transport links.. anything.

True, ultimately it comes down to which country is more willing to let their population suffer. I know where my money is.

Isn't something like 1/3 of their GDP energy exports though? Presumably most of the customers are European.

There are quite a few grants available for things like improving insulation, but you're right; a landlord doesn't really have an incentive to go through the hassle of applying for it and arranging for the work to be done. An EPC (

I guess if the water is clean then it does a very quick cycle and just stops

They've figured out a way to spray adverts on to the clean dishes and need to ship it to customers ASAP!

Modern-ish ones usually have a dirty-water-sensor; I believe it works by shining light through the water on the way out of the machine to see (roughly) how dirty it is. Clean water = cycle over, dirty water = keep going!

Excuse my ignorance, but is there any kind of at-table testing you could do to determine whether it contains sugar? Almost like a dip-test?

It's true, I still remember the first time I rode on a motorway and just thought... this feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I'm just sitting on this chunk of metal, and the only thing keeping me on are my hands. Fun though.

Thanks for the detail! I have a 1930s house with, I think, unfilled cavities. I’ve always been put off looking into insulating because it seemed potentially harmful.
652.
by cjrp 5y ago
My understanding was that cavities should actually not be filled, since they allow water to drain out. Is that incorrect?

Well done on the first repair at least! That's a good point about needing time/a replacement in the interim. I suppose there are some things which can sit on a bench for a while waiting for time/parts, but appliances tend to

The mechanics of something like a washing machine are still relatively simple (motor, belt, drum, pump), but when the PCB goes it seems to be game over as often the part costs nearly as much as a new machine.

8 years doesn't seem very long for an appliance, although that is probably par for the course now.

Given how expensive the pandemic has been, I expect we'll see less funding of schools, not more.

What's considered a starter home? In England (well, the south-east of England), lots of people get started in a 1 or 2-bed flat (~60m²), maybe move up to a small terraced or semi-detached when they have kids.

Really cool, sort of like how an ICE drives ancillaries

Sounds sort of similar to a doula here in the UK, but they're not very common in my experience.

Do you know if they need the cans in their original shape in order to recycle them? If it's just to keep the barcode intact, presumably it could be printed on the can's base instead.
