    7ish, but its foreign muck. Even the Canbera is Martin foreign muck.

    Lots of goodness here

    Nolte had advised them it was our fault and caused by cleaning with a wet cloth and leaving them damp which then caused the corners to swell and split. Apparently they have never had this problem before so it can’t be a manufacturing fault.

    Well if they’ve never had the problem before, how do they know this hypothetical damp cloth is the fault?
    Plus pretty much by definition it’s a manufacturing fault if they can’t cope with a bit of surface moisture.

    The UK’s population is growing by 500,000 a year. That’s a lot of houses that need to be built for supply to start outstriping demand.

    What is the benefit of landing upright?
    They must have to carry a lot more fuel.

    Dunno about the spaceX one, but I imagine the Blue Orgin one carries hardly any extra fuel. Seems to be in free fall for most of it’s descent, turns on the main rocket for maybe 20seconds and maybe only full power for a couple of seconds or so of that.

    Of course I could, but as you don’t actually think I’m a terrorist it would be a pointless waste of my time.
    Anyway, apparently now he’s said he wasn’t working for a charity, just doing something similar to working for a charity, but not working for a charity. Should have got Lance Armstrong to vet his script first really.

    Given that he did say what the charity was and it was examined by the Americans what is your problem now ?

    So what is the charity then?

    It would seem a lot easier just for Shaker to say in public what this charity was.
    It shouldn’t really be contentious should it?

    You’d have thought they’d have the answer by now.

    What questions would those be, exactly?

    One which springs to mind is what was the charity he was working for in Afghanistan?
    Surely they have a name and would be able to have confirmed the charitable work.

    I was 11 ish and round a friends house, setting fire to things as your do. He noticed that if you set fire to meths only the surface burnt and the liquid stayed cool so he decided to pour meths into his cupped hand and set fire to it. Kinda forget that the surface of the fluid also contacts the hand with obvious (in hindsight) consequences.
    I’d imagine if the internet exists then, we’d have come up with far more stupid things to do.

    How about a withings activite?
    Doesn’t do much compared to others, e.g. no gps, no HR.
    Doesn’t look like a sports band – which may be a plus.

    For lady stereotypes.

    For man stereotypes.

    That thing clearly is the boss of landing.
    Shame the passengers come down via parachute, as trusting the rocket looks a lot more exciting.

    Hardly ever carry ID.
    The thought process underlying it, i.e “Am I carrying the right stuff in case I die in the next few hours”, just isn’t one I make a habit of entertaining.
    Nowt wrong with carrying one though, just different viewpoints on mortality.

    I like that the F35 fuel tankers now have to painted in brilliant white as it doesn’t work with warm fuel.

    Before that you’ve got to define what counts as cheating, and this is half the problem. Zwift is great for this, there is a tiny minority who are probably recalibrating their power figures to gain what they believe is an adavantage, there’s a larger percentage who just have miscalibrated power figures, and a vocal subsection who will accuse anyone faster than them of ‘cheating’. But their is no rule that says you need a calibrated power meter. The same with strava, it becomes unacceptable to cheat when there’s a rule that says you’re cheating.

    That depends on whether household insurance will cover you for it. I don’t think those things are currently excluded from most

    I’d have thought that there’s a more general clause excluding unlawful activities, which would cover most of their use outside.

    Something sounds wrong. If you’re riding hard week after week, you should be faster after one week off not slower.

    My normal weekly riding routine involves 1 or 2 mountain bike rides (usually an all dayer on sunday of 4-7 hours, with maybe a 1-2 hour midweek ride), plus between 1 and 3 road rides of between 1 and 4 hours. 2 days a week I end up doing commuting riding of an hour or 2.

    Depending on how much you want to solve the problem, it might be worth using somthing like Training Peaks to work out how much stress you are really putting on your body. If I add up the min and max from above that’s between 7-25 hours of riding a week, which is a big difference. Of course you’re going to need to use a HR monitor and a GPS each ride to get a real feel as to how much consistent training stress you’re putting on your body,and that might be too much faff. But as things stand, something doesn’t add up.

    Miss one MTB ride and my ability to corner anywhere near the limits of my theoretical ability evaporates.

    I’ve no idea what my theoretical limit is, I know I don’t want to be anywhere near it though :)

    Fair logic~ does that mean familiarity comes down to what the media decides to broadcast?

    It very much does.
    But do you think the top 10 stories in the say London are the same as the top 10 stories in Nairobi?
    So the media directs the news, but of course this is a two way process. Do you think a London new media outlet would last very long if it broadcast the top 10 stories in Nairobi?
    And if you are only broadcasting 10 stories, do you think you can adequately cover the amount of good and bad 7 billion people generate on a daily basis?

    Could it be something to do with the strange inequality in empathy which seems to be related to media coverage?

    Which do you remember~ the Kenyan attack, or Charlie Hebdo?

    Do you think you’d have the same emotional response to the hypothetical death of your partner, or the hypothetical death of a person you’ve never heard of in Tonga?
    Would you think the difference is binary or on some sort of continuum?
    That we have variable emotional responses based on familiarity isn’t exactly strange.

    Is this 30% the overall cut?

    According to R4 it’s day to day running costs rather than cap-ex, so things like the department of transport with a large capital spend aren’t quite as affected as the headline figure suggests.
    No comfort for the people working in such departments though.

    They’re not quiet at high speed, but should be smooth.

    Could be a loose pivot bolt though – see trouble shooting below.

    I guess ultimately it will depend on a combination of the person, the distance, and the available time. I’ve a neighbour who wins 100+ mile races, and does pretty much no speed work, but he does a large volume, if you transposed the percentage of easy to hard that he does to someone who only runs 2 hours a week, you’d probably find it an ineffective way of using those 2 hours. If you just copied the actual amount of minutes of hard effort, then it would probably be a much more effective use of 2 hours.
    That doesn’t mean that hard efforts are thus better training for a 100mile race though, it just means if you’ve got limited time, hard is better.
    Also by definition Zapotek is an outlier, if everyone could do what he did, no one would have heard of him.

    Assuming it’s a frost free freezer, it’s probably just the cooling plates completely iced up. Will need to be defrosted. Take out the draws remove the panel at the back, wait for block of ice to thaw.
    Or something along those lines.

    “Our results also show that the calcium channels aren’t affected by the three minutes of high-intensity interval exercise in elite endurance athletes, who have built up more effective antioxidative systems.”

    So HIIT only works if you’re unfit.

    You know how religions have to make up bollocks to hide the big holes in them? You know that “God’s testing your faith for a greater purpose sort” of stuff.

    How do Star War fans explain away the full on retardness that all the fighter plane things need to be pointed by a pilot directly at the opponents fighter plane thingy before they can shoot? I mean even our current crappy aircraft are a bit more sophisticated than that.
