  1. I guess he was aware that the US and UK aren't going to fight the global warming anymore, so most likely weather will be BBQ friendly in the UK in no time.

  2. The canon says that hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. I find no mention of grilled meats other than that if you don't eat them, how can you have any pudding?

  4. A picture from my kitchen. My dear is away for a few days and will be back on Friday evening so I have time to fix this mess. Anyhow, a second board of three layer Carbon is done. This one’s offset is as good as the first board after fixing an error. Mixed up the feed backs so first offset was +440V and -440V. First board was free from errors but this one have some serious errors. Glad I didn’t sent it to a board house for manufacturing.

  5. When you consider the expense and bad weather, there's only one line of thought that makes total sense. It's a front. It's not that he loves to B-B-Q, it's that he's a serial killer and needs a way to discretely get rid of the bodies. Whatever you do, don't share any meals with him! And don't make him angry. You should be safe though, because if he's smart enough to build a Body-B-Quashed B-B-Q, he's smart enough not to kill someone he could be connected to. On the other hand...

  14. I'd be surprised if the Air 2 was replaced with another Air. I think they are going to have a baseline "iPad" and an "iPad Pro."

  15. my iPad Air 2 and a Belkin "Ultimate Pro Keyboard" completely replaced a laptop for me, for any situation where I don't need Excel plugins (which I've yet to need "on the road").

  16. Have you tried an external keyboard on your ipad mini? The iPad pro is a great machine, but it's not better for web than the regular ipad, and there are lots of keyboard options available for any ipad. I have traveled using just an ipad and bluetooth keyboard, and have been reasonably satisfied with it.

  17. Wait a second; BBQing is weather dependent? Back when I used to do such things, I once smoked a 10 pound Boston Butt when there was a foot of snow on the ground and it was below 0 (F, not C). It made temperature regulation more difficult, especially when it started snowing again, but it was certainly doable, especially with a tarp strung up. What happened to the stiff-upper-lip?

  18. No, that's the problem, once global warming goes beyond a certain point, there is even more moisture in the air ==> clouds, rain, etc. Perhaps he will just power through, and barbecue anyway, even in the rain, as is the British way.

  19. So the guy next door has been on a major project. The previous owner has put in wooden decking and a fish pond, which I thought looked kind of nice. Current guy didn't like it, so he hired a company of knuckle draggers to take that out and put "something" in instead. I need to take a photo of the edifice and post it. It is basically a built-in double barbecue. This is truly in the brutalist style - it is like an angular horseshoe that you can stand behind, but big enough that two or three can get behind there, and so seriously built could double as a nuclear shelter. One barbecue is I think gas powered (well, there was copper pipe going on at one point), and I think the other is charcoal. Where the decking was he has paved in off-white slabs, which are also on the top surface of the barbecue horseshoe. The outfit he got to do all this started in October, and have just finished. I swear you could build a whole house in that time. The problem is that this is in the UK - where it is cold and rainy more often than not. Last year we managed a total of three barbecues in our kettle because that was the only coincidence of (a) decent enough weather on the day (b) a weekend and (c) enough certainly of good weather to buy the meat. We planned to barbecue several more times, and ended up cooking inside on the hob. So I have absolutely no idea why the guy has spent so much money on something that will hardly ever be used. I look forward to seeing it used in anger, but I'm not holding my breath.

  21. I got the SDR from Sorrodje, just a bit more expensive than the Ebay's, that arrived yesterday. My HD800 had my personal (read as in "what I have around") felt-foam-adhesive mod, which had been in place for about 5 years, since Tyll published the video on Youtube. It controlled pretty well the harshness in the treble, which I didn't find annoying but with some recordings, although at the price of some bass quality, not as much the depth as its "texture" and slam. I happen to be more sensitive to peaks at 7-8KHz than at 5-6, so I didn't have much trouble listening to the HD800 on stock form. I wasn't as much aware of the issues in the bass with the former mod until I performed some (not blind) listening tests yesterday comparing my mod to the stock and the SDR. Definitely the SDR is well worth a try by anyone wanting to tame a bit the HD800's treble without much sacrifice of anything else. TBH they sound more interesting now, not sure if for being less fatiguing or just righter, getting less in the way of the music. BTW the damn HD800 earpads are delivering a lot of black powder reminiscing of the one the Grado pads dust when self-destroying. Still not changing them at 78€/pair
