  1. If a bottle of beer is at just the right super coldness and you open it the release of energy from the liquid as the pressure drops raises the freezing point and the liquid turns to a sort of solid slurry. Something like that. Anyway that looks like it happened by itself, or that a cap was put on top of a carved piece of ice, given how smooth the edges are and how level it is.

  2. The BHSE should have no trouble driving the Jecklins with a +1200V bias supply. Now getting those connectors would be impossible though.

    Precide will probably sell you a Hirchmann socket although they might gouge you for it. Elsewise you could buy an AMT notch filter box or throw away the Hirshmann and use a 6 pin xlr or something. Not 5, in case someone tries to plug their HE Jade in of course...

  3. What, you without Floats is like me without a SR-007.... undecided.gif

    Haven't had any Floats now for a long while. I'll get another pair someday.

    Well Duggeh you don't really look fat in the photo - more worried about your current one (avatar). Do you have the same condition that Prad Pitt had in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"?

    I see you borrowed one of Tyll's shirts tongue.png

    Is the chap standing next to you wearing a yellow marigold rubber glove? Why one - what gives?

    I forget the girls name, she was the younger cousin of a flatmate I had at university. I used to wear loud shirts all the time back then, the other guy is my younger brother, and theres a rubber glove on his hand because in the original the guy has some kind of glove on, and theres a VCR for the same parodic reason.

  4. 32 centigrade is big heat as far as I'm concerned.

    In the UK we have a bizzare mix of metric and imperial. As far as the use of stone goes, people use that these days only for bodyweight (presumeably because you weight less stone than pounds, making you lighter?). Almost everything else these days is in Kilograms. Beer and milk come in pints (and our pint is bigger than your pint) and fractions of pints, everything else comes in litres and millilitres. As for the weather? For joe public over say 35 or 40 years old, cold temps are in centigrade/celcius. Right now its between minus 1 and +1 degrees C but summer temps are in fahrenheit. On the TV and in the papers its always in Centigrade, being younger, I actually have no idea whatever how hot or cold a fahrenheit is and the conversion is not one that's easy to do in your head, if you can remember it.

    It'd be simpler if I didn't even bother with the stone count when I post here, but I like to be redundant.

    Larry: 2lbs a week is what I aim for. But I don't have your lung problems. I'm sure your doctor will keep you right.

  5. Became a US citizen. smile.png

    I am looking forward to voting next year.

    Well done lod!

    ... I saw my doctor today and was told I've lost 32lbs since I saw him at the end of May (260 > 228). I told him I actually lost it over just the past 6 weeks, and that I could barely fit into the clothes I was wearing back in May which forced me to start dieting. Feeling pretty good about this, but need to drop another 28 lbs.

    2 & 1/3 stone in 6 weeks is intuitively a bit too fast to be healthy. However I don't begrudge you you sense of achievement if you've worked hard at the diet and cardio. It really can feel great to see the numbers go down on the scale. Just watch yourself and don't try to punch through the remaining weight with speed the aim. If anything you might end up giving yourself slack skin, plus theres the weight bounce-back. I'm now down from 18 stone 9lbs (261 lbs) to 13 stone 3lbs (185 lbs), the wardrobe issues i can relate to. Look at it as an oppertunity to buy some of those nice shirts they don't make in the XL+ range.

    Best of luck with the next 28lbs.
