It occurs to me that someone must have used metric, BSF/SAE/Imperial, and Whitworth in the same machine. Has anyone encountered such a sparkling crown of British automotive engineering?
]]>WHEN???
I had recently booked 7 night in London for June. I did a quick check and DT will be gone before I get there. So as long as he and the protesters don't burn the place down I can keep my plans.
]]>There’s another study floating around that shows that this cohorts views are such an outlier that when you include them into broader groups risk assessments they tend to falsely skew the results. It’s not that they won’t see it, they literally can’t see it. That’s bad for the rest of us of course.

]]>When it comes to tires, I'd look no further than this. Where I live, Schwalbe is the tire manufacturer of choice, and has been for decades. I don't know about availability in the US, though.
]]>Not British, but reading up on a riveting project someone needed assistance with I found mention of a US truck built in the 1950s with a riveted frame. The person restoring this truck discovered the hard way there were three different not-quite-the-same-size rivets used in various places.
]]>Yesterday. From my mum. Who isn't usually a fucking looney, nor a bigot, but exhibits both characteristics when discussing leaving the EU to the point of seeming to be controlled by a mind parasite.
]]>What gets me about such instances is the confused responses from some people, who are opposed to whatever the measure in question is and displeased with the interpretation of "democracy" under which the Commons do get to ram things through that nobody wants, but also worship some unrealistic ideal of "democracy" so blindly that they express support for the removal of the very institution which is helping to mitigate the deficiency they're complaining about. It's similar in some ways to people being so in love with the concept of "sovereignty" that they want to escape the jurisdiction of European courts that in terms of their practical effect mostly cause the British government to be unable to be the kind of arseholes they want to be.
]]>I see I can order online, in the US, and there's a couple I like, for reasonable $14+ and $24+.
Far out! Thank you, very much.
]]>At work, I've got an 8TB Seagate Ironwolf h/d that died. Contacted Seagate, as it's still within warranty.
Now, you have to understand, the US federal gov't says, no way we send the drive back... unless it's been deGaussed (that is, turned into a brick).
So Seagate wants me to send them the front plate, and the small circuit board in the back.
About that, yeah. Took um, two separate sized of Torx screwdriver, and one teeny-tiny Phillips head, I think it's 11 screws....
