If I like a new to me artist I follow up compilations that they appear on. This can take you to similar but different artists and obscutities that you would never come across.

I don’t think there would be any point in traffic lights etc if the automation was smart enough.

Another idea. Fill each balloon. One by one deflate them under water into an upturned, water filled glass measuring jug and see how much water is displaced by helium in the jug.

This a tin pot idea but with a suitable digital balance you could weigh them upwards with the scale pointing down above the floating balloons and the difference between the various balloons would be proportional to the difference in helium volume?????

Were you not listening to the Green Cross Code?

5. Look and listen again
When it is safe and there is no traffic, walk straight across the road.
Keep looking and listening while you cross the road. Watch out for cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders.
Always walk straight across the road, DO NOT walk diagonally.
NEVER run across the road because you might fall over and you might not get up in time

Diagonal takes longer, increasing risk and people, especially kids, get hit by cars

Diagonal road crossing

The other day I pulled a little old timing clock (what they used to use for time and motion studies) out of the skip at work. Big clear out going on. I like the look of it and could also find it useful for excercise timing. Anyway it was totally seized up so I brought it home, took the back off and a few liberal doses of GT85 had it running nicely. I just need to work out how to calibrate it now as it is a tad fast.

Similarly on a sonos setup you can adjust volume either from the app or at the speaker, does it make any difference which?
