I had more pins and needles and dead legs.
Trouble sleeping.
Eating more , craving sugary junk food.
I do have a weird shorter breathing cycle though.
Found splitting the tablet in half and taking one at 7am and the other half at 7pm helped loads.
The benefits easily outweigh the side effects.
I’m more positive, relaxed , alot less angry, no intention of harming, suicidal ideas stopped completely,
I now only take 25mg , or half a tablet every morning, there may be a placebo effect in place but I’m ok with it.singletrackmindFull MemberChemfix studs for a very short installation.
Just ensure all debris is cleared out of the hole before injecting the resinsingletrackmindFull MemberWe had a tornado rip through here the other night. Landfall was approximately half a mile from my house.
I never received an order for evacuation, heard any sirens, just slept through it.
Roof damage, walls blown over , dingy boats picked up and thrown around.4singletrackmindFull MemberIf it’s that then you need to find out if it’s faulty or the system is overheating massively and blowing out of the prv.
Get an accomplice to put a finger on the end , then slowly crank up the pressure with the filling loop.
Get it to 20psi or 1.5bar. if it holds then it’s most likely a duff prv2singletrackmindFull MemberPressure relief valve safety blow off.
I am not a heating engineer but if you track it back to the combi between it goes to a AA battery sized bit of copper and a red knob with 3 bar stamped on it
2singletrackmindFull MemberIt’s the idiots with leaf blowers who blow the leaves into the roadside drain.
Do they believe it to be some sort of waste disposal machine , or magically the leaves will dissolve.
Or are they just lazy
Or does their family own a drain cleaner lorry
Then they moan when the roads floodsingletrackmindFull MemberRouter bit in a guide ?
Hot metal bar allowed to sit in position till it sinks in a little.
Carburundum stone might give a nice frosted effectsingletrackmindFull MemberYes , but you might be better to hold it at high revs , over say 4k for 15 seconds or so . Add a full throttle visit to near the red line as well.
When it’s fully hot , Inc the oil temperature which should be up in the 90s. Which can take 10 miles to achievesingletrackmindFull MemberScrewfix now stock lengths of timber.
38 x 63 x 2400 . Be more than enough support for a 5ft panel just offset noggin it for a little extra rigidity in the middle.
Think it’s around £3 a lengthsingletrackmindFull MemberShirley a plug in hybrid is the car for you?
Do the running around on electric the use petrol for the long journey.
Sell the diesel car and use the cash for a deposit on a Kia nerosingletrackmindFull MemberI used to use the humane traps.
Would release the mouse miles from home in an area of wood land.
One day the mouse must have legged it under the wheel for a bit of cover.
I drove off feeling happy to have saved the mouse , till I heard the crunch as the wheel rotated over it.1singletrackmindFull MemberWhy do you have a 110 straight soil black connector on the wall .
You can plug a pan con into soil without the swaged end. Give you more room to do it rigidsingletrackmindFull MemberSoudal Fix All High Tack in white would be my suggestion.
Up there in terms of grab and as you are sticking 2 flat things together with no real load the adhesive part will cope easilysingletrackmindFull MemberThat goes along the lines of my thinking.
Huge storage depot , miles from the front lines potentially holding very small battlefield nuclear weapons that have probably been sat in the same shed for decades.
Meanwhile things move on and we need somewhere to store a boatload of rockets and shells that are arriving from Korea.
New general in charge this week decress ” take them to xyz , they will be fine there it’s miles from everywhere”
Probably doesn’t know that there’s nuclear weapons, and those who do might be too scared to say , think it will be fineEdit.
Yep , that I do know. That’s why I said radiation leak , not fusion . From memory they’re fused with beryllium acceleraters as a trigger system. And it’s actually quite hard to get a nuclear weapon to go bang in a big way.singletrackmindFull MemberGood point, but never underestimate the power of stupidity.
singletrackmindFull MemberBeen looking at the satellite images of the ammo dumps that the Ukrainian army destroyed recently.
The craters are huge so there must have been hundreds of tons of munitions there.
But how would the Ukrainian army know that they didn’t have any nuclear weapons stored there?
It’s not like the Russians are going to advertise where they store them.
I know that they would not be in a state of readiness, so unlikely to create a fusion explosion, but the release of radioactive materials must be possible looking at the concrete storage bunkers that have been flattenedsingletrackmindFull MemberAs with most economic crises, it will take far longer to happen than it should and when it does eventually happen it will happen shockingly quickly
A the meddling economy whack o meter
Imagine the economy is a house brick attached to a length of elastic. Pull the elastic, nothing happens. Pull the elastic abit more , nothing happens. Give it a proper tug , and you get a brick in the face.singletrackmindFull MemberThe pan of boiling water frothing away with the burner on full chat , because it cooks faster is exactly the same logic that dictates a room MUST heat up faster with the thermostat at 30c instead of 20c .
singletrackmindFull MemberYou should have taken photos and the registration of the vehicle and reported it.
How do you know I didn’t?
I really hate mind readers , they always seem to know just what your thinking….
The point I was trying unsuccessfully to make was simply just because you are paying someone to do a job does not guarantee it will be done to a higher standard than a competent person could achieve if they did it themselves.
In today’s world where you can learn things online in an evening it’s not like 40 years ago where we relied on time served professional people to do a good job , as they have served an apprenticeship , possibly passed relevant qualifications and made a career out of a trade.singletrackmindFull MemberHaving watched a ‘professional’ asbestos removal company working I think you could DIY it to a greater safety standard than the clowns I watched.
Grey corregated roof panels from the 50s or 60s .
Lead guy all suited up , paper hooded suit , boot covers , gloves facial respirator with 2 cartridges.
Uses his pry bar to remove panels and passes them to his oppo , fully equipped with a hoody and trainers. Who launched it into the open topped skip.singletrackmindFull MemberUsing tanks mothballed since the 80s
Supplying conscripts with rifles out of the 70ssingletrackmindFull MemberIt’s had a replacement alloy wheel , there’s a receipt in the service history. So that’s a strong possibility. Inner track rod might be bent inside the rubber boots.
I’ll run a metal rule along it.
Next game is fit outers after angle grinding off the existing then alignment. If still no joy the inner track rod replacement is an option.
Or just accept it and keep on driving it and is.1singletrackmindFull MemberFail.
Airbag didn’t deploy. But..
There is a woodruff key type of affair that means it can only be fitted in a certain way and clocking it round on the splines is not possible. Like it was in the 90s1singletrackmindFull MemberNothing is bent . It drives superbly with no bump steer , diving under braking , doesn’t push whilst cornering.
I have changed the bump stops so would have noticed accident damage or missing bushes.
Going to remove the steering wheel and click it round a spline, YouTube makes it look ridiculously easy.
Will report back around 10am if not in A&E1singletrackmindFull MemberGoing to buy new ones, fit them then get it 4 wheels aligned. It’s £70 locally with a tyre centre I trust who are not part of a chain.
It will be after it’s been laser aligned.
Wheelbase is equal so the string line method would at least get it squared on the toe , obvs not castor and camber.1singletrackmindFull MemberAbsolutely they are . The basic salary is good, but the hours can be very long . They will be on commission/ bonus for up selling anything that might or might not need doing, or is found by the mechanics.
singletrackmindFull MemberYou do know that the service manager is on a decent salary plus commission?
A decent trained main dealer tech will be on over £30k , plus bonus if he gets through the work quickly.
A large main dealer will have a head honcho on , depending on marque and location £70k plus bonuses.
So every person involved in fixing your car has a personal vested interest in making sure it costs an arm and two legs every time you set foot in the door.singletrackmindFull MemberYes I bought 2 from the CRC blow out sale with the intention of keeping one at work and one at home.
No need to swear and wet your pants at a small grammar error. This isn’t an engineering degree paper .
1singletrackmindFull MemberWe?
We aren’t firing anything.
And yes , decommissioning weapons does cost money.
As the potential of a small error having big consequences is real. Special machinery has to be designed , built and tested to ensure safety.When this is all over and Ukraine cities and infrastructure needs rebuilding I would imagine the UK will be in the running to provide services as a quid pro quo for helping the Ukrainian people to defend their country from invasion.
singletrackmindFull MemberHad the same for a week, which coincided with a week booked off as holiday.
Raging sore throat for 48hrs , then massive headache, sneezing and rivers of snot. Stupid unproductive cough.
My joints all ached , everything I’ve injured hurt , my kidneys hurt.
Sleeping for 12hrs a night waking up tired then having a sleep mid afternoon.
Couldn’t really focus on anything that required concentration, so watched crap telly, was a great week off.3singletrackmindFull MemberLots of equipment and munitions have been sitting in storage for years and are part of our national defense budget, and our spend in line with our commitment to NATO .
Storm Shadow missiles would probably have never been fired and then we would have had to replace with better , newer more shiny version and pay for decommissioning the ood stock .
At least this way we get to see how effective our existing weapons are in a war that doesn’t put the ukaf in harms way, which is a double edged sword. No good =. Bad investments and need for r&d to improve. Very good = we kill more enemy soldiers and killing other humans is never a good thing as they are not personally responsible for invading, just doing what they are toldsingletrackmindFull MemberI haven’t hit anything . I bought it with it off centre. Tracking is spot on , tyre wear very even with no diving or tramlines ever.
It’s not got lane control or the active steering system some versions do .
Going to buy new ones, fit them then get it 4 wheels aligned. It’s £70 locally with a tyre centre I trust who are not part of a chain.
I own digital verniers so can very accurately measure the existing threads and recreate the existing alignment1singletrackmindFull MemberPut a can of Plusgas on your Christmas list.
Then every few months pop off the alloys , give them a deep clean and squirt each nipple. Won’t hurt and you can keep an eye on pad wear , tyre wear and prevention maintenance is never a bad thing2singletrackmindFull MemberLooks like Russia lost another fast jet and an oil rig fob to Ukraine seaborne assault.
Firing a long range cruise missile at a 3rd party gran carrier in Romania territorial waters is also a dick move.singletrackmindFull MemberSteering wheel is not coming off .
There’s loads of buttons and an explosive airbag in there.
Might try to open the slot up with a cold chisel or flat head screwdriver twisted in the slot so I can get more fluid in there
