Haven't had a tv for the best part of ten years now, One of my sometime projects is to get a projector setup. Put it on a mount that can be aimed at the wall for movies, and then at the ground for transferring carpentry drawings directly on to sheets of ply

I'd absolutely build a fridge or freezer from scratch rather than buy one that was "smart" in any shape or form.

Yesterday's outage was the metaphorical tripping over the cord. There is not such thing as "the cloud" only someone else's computer.

The work I was doing until recently had me thinking a lot about heatpumps that would be capable of producing steam and returning water below 20c: So much vacuum stuff needs 20c water for operation.

Yeah EVs tend to have an "OMG I can go here cheap and fun" effect to them, suspect that happens with PHEVs and thus more longer trips are done. Burning more dino juice.

Had a only legs left resistor rage quit recently. It was so violent that both the breaker in the sub board and the breaker upstream went. Resistor body turned into fine sand consistency.

I managed to get a car park by the Ruth Gottlieb Library in Kilbirnie - there’s about 200 people lined up to cast Special Votes. I also dropped some votes off for people circling in their cars desperately wanting to park and vote. One lady said “Gotta keep the fascists out!”. Bloody oath.
