--- Quote from: AVGresponding on July 18, 2022, 04:57:02 pm ---A quick heads-up for the North Americans in the thread, a couple of nice free + shipping instruments in the BSW sub-forum: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/buysellwanted/free-leeds-northrup-k-3-universal-potentiometer/ https://www.eevblog.com/forum/buysellwanted/free-wayne-kerr-b601-rf-bridge/ --- End quote --- Thanks for the heads up on that. The Ferengi in me really like this if my buddy from Victoria, BC has not yet left on his road trip, which includes a stop to visit me... ;D |

I remember the times as a kid where we had daily low-level flights with Lockheed F-104 (Starfighter) with nearly sound of speed, so you will not hear them until they pass you :) And often you heard the bang when they did supersonic over the sea. --- End quote --- I grew up close to an airbase. I know how it sounds when the daily Soviet provocation is doing something out of the ordinary, the afterburner flames of the Drakens growing as long as the planes and the idea of a sound nuisance adapted ascent is thrown out of the cockpit along with the coffee as the start order comes on the wire. (The planes, when at higher on-ground readyness states, have the pilot sitting in, and the plane wired to a party-line analog phone circuit with the Fighter Controller on, to not have a radio going off radiating. ) I think it is a sign of a better more peaceful world where people foster an innocence about these things. Si vis pacem, para bellum. Though. |

--- Quote from: Cerebus on July 18, 2022, 03:18:38 pm --- 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, --- End quote --- And I make my G&T from 40 ml Hernö Gin and 80ml tonic, some ground black pepper and a lemon slice. I should probably serve them with a glass of water. --- Quote from: Cerebus on July 18, 2022, 03:18:38 pm ---...but by the time you get any significant hydration from drinking it you're going to be pissed as an admiral. --- End quote --- And here I was of the impression that admirals drink gin and bitters.. That's an even more losing proposition, by the way, since there's only the water in the gin to help with dehydration. Edited to add: The ice probably saves the day; I forgot to count it. |

But it will be a tasty ride to purgatory! *hic* |

--- Quote from: TERRA Operative on July 18, 2022, 11:37:57 pm ---Kind of counter-productive to trap so many motorists idling fuel away into exhaust fumes....... --- End quote --- This morning I parked at work at 08:15 in front a white BMW locked with the engine running. Nobody inside. I left at 15:50 and the very same vehicle was still idling locked. PS: I asked my power company if there is a rebate since I installed a hybrid water hater.... they sent me a rebate to switch to gas. In 2022? Now go and watch the above again.... :horse: |
