You can forgive the Poms as they've yet not learnt how to properly chill beer !

Oh, we've tried. We found that it is impossible to do.

Chilling gnat's piss is easy, however.

Gnat's piss examples include Coors and anything that needs to be advertised by a "muscle man" (Which may or may not also be Coors; nobody cares)

Maybe its due to the higher alcohol content of our beers, gnats piss is by default, largely just coloured water  :P :-DD

I don't think so. Some gnat's piss has standard alcohol content, and some beer has a low alcoholic content - and is quite pleasant in summer :)

Beer will dehydrate you less than, say, a G&T. If 10mg of alcohol "dehydrates" you by encouraging urination, then with a beer you will get more water with that 10mg to "rehydrate" you.

--- End quote ---

The whole thing about beer dehydrating you is an old wives' tale. Each gram of alcohol consumed causes a net loss of around 10 ml of water (generally accepted and easy to remember figure). So a pint (568 ml) of 4% abv beer contains 22.7 ml of alcohol, giving 17.9 g of alcohol. This will cause the loss of 180ml of water, but the pint of beer will have supplied about 540 ml of water (with perhaps a small fudge factor for dissolved solids), leaving a net result of at 360 ml of additional hydration.

The G&T case is actually marginal as well: 25 ml shot of 40% gin - ~8gm alcohol - net fluid loss (80 - 15) = 65 ml to be made up with tonic water and ice. So as long as your G&T is 1:2.6 gin and tonic respectively you're not going to suffer dehydration, with any excess tonic over the 2.6 contributing to hydration, but by the time you get any significant hydration from drinking it you're going to be pissed as an admiral.

The Summer's first genuine heat wave this week.

“Beer shits” do however lead to rapid dehydration.

This is what I mean about the relaxed topic rules we enjoy here, we can all learn new things that will enrich our lives  :-DD

For the record, the temp here in Chelmsford, UK is 37C in the shade.


Edit:
Just picked SWMBO up from work and its now 39C  :phew: And its currently 32C in my lab with all the windows and curtains closed.

COMPONENT SORTING

currently working my way through 25 or so DIP8 packages, half done.

Having trouble with this one :

Marked " M6569-3 KSS ".

Can't find a datasheet for this thing, nor even know what kind of chip it is, at large.

Google can find me pics of packages marked 100% like mine, so I don't have a one-off prototype for sure... and it found me an ad on Aliexpress where that chip was for sale at no less than 8 Euros !  :o

https://fr.aliexpress.com/i/1487116884.html

All I can gather is that " KSS " is the name of the manufacturer, whoever that is.

IF anyone knows what KSS does for a living and has a datasheet for this thing, before I add it to my "destined to the trash bin" pile, well that would be nice...


Temperature-wise, here today is the peak / worst day of the heat wave, and it's 17H30 so we have now reached max temp for the day. It's 41°C (106°F) in my little village.
It's freaking 27°C in my living room according to the built-in thermostat in the heater, which is normally lethally high for me (anything above 18°C is uncomfortable for me... hate heat), but somehow I am still alive. Probably because the air is very dry, luckily, zero sweat. Of course I am naked in my living room and take cold showers every now and then, come out soaking wet out of the shower and straight in front of the fan in the living room... physics does the rest and cools me down.
