Ahh, that’s why I had a heart attack. I was drinking cider and not red wine ?
Possibly Dave, but half the Germans in the study drank beer. A recent French study comes up with similar findings. link. However to balance that a little a UK study found alcohol caused dementia in Civil Servants (surprise surprise!).
Possibly of more worry to several Forumites is that PPI drugs are strongly linked with dementia link, My guess would be that their impact on the gut biome may be the cause, so probiotic yoghurt, plus supplements of magnesium, B vitamins and folic acid might be a good idea to balance the damage caused by PPIs. (It is proven that PPIs cause B12 deficiencies).
Apologies for the ‘confers many heart benefits’ being turned into ‘configure many heart benefits’. I must have accidentally installed auto-correct!
Really Ed ? I think BoJo is a bit of a duffer myself but he still managed to get himself elected as a conservative major in a massively labour London.
That was all prior to his becoming an MP. BoJo has a very high IQ but has the EQ of a slug, in addition there is a massive disconnect between brain and mouth.
There is but you need to familiarise yourself with Python and beautiful soup, feedparser and maybe pandas.
It is not hard as there are plenty of examples on line, but it is not trivial and some web sites object to being ‘scraped’.
Start with the beautiful soup site and possibly search on line for ‘scraping’. Someone may have done something similar to your task and put the code on-line for your use. 99% of such code will use Python.
e.g. search for (say) web scraping+car data
Three years ago BoJo was an attractive option as a PM, however since then through his actions he has become spoiled goods and a liability.
a) In his role as Foreign Minister he was a total failure with all except Trump. (not exactly a great endorsement btw). He made too many gaffs that will come home to haunt him if ever he seeks high office.
b) He showed that he is untrustworthy. Not only with his stupid dissembling over the EU payments (control versus cash), he really blotted his copybook by fleeing overseas rather than voting on his Heathrow ‘promise’.
If the Conservatives select BoJo they will be dead meat at the next election!
Cement rendering conceals a multitude of issues, it can also cause damp and brick rot by preventing the bricks from breathing. Horrible stuff – looks nice initially but I would never put money into a property that had it.
The subject of Grammar Schools is an emotive one due to the impacts on those who just pass or just fail and the cliff-edge nature of the selection system. Numerous teachers also hate the concept some as the result of a lack of any dialectic debate, while others are driven by a badly thought out system of rating teacher/school performance.
I personally favour a highly streamed system as I’m afraid that AI, robotics and future technical developments will result in our national wealth being produced by a very small percentage of the population. We need to ensure that we have more than our fair share of such intellect and streaming and stretching intellect is one way of achieving that goal. I would include STEM subjects and Industrial Design as intellectual pursuits, but NOT Media or Art History Studies! This sort of streaming does need a geographically separate site as there can be a corrosive/disruptive effect by some at the other end of the intellectual spectrum.
Accompanying that however we also need a system that keeps the other 95% of the population usefully occupied, and that is a challenge that really has not even been given any political consideration or thought so far.
I had a very different mobo at the time I owned a similar case. The only issue I discovered was that the ram temps were high after a 24 hour stress test and needed an auxiliary fan. Could just have been the mobo layout and all the water cooling pipework at fault but something perhaps to check.
Twaddle Dave ? Have a look at the European council foreign relations website. That is also where I got the more europe bit Ed.
If you had bothered to inspect the link I used you would have seen

Maybe you are right about May and what might have happened but she was the choice of the Conservative Party. If she had not been virtually forced by these same people to hold an election then maybe she would not be held to ransome by the DUP.
Maybe — but also maybe if BoJo had not dissembled on the economic impacts of Brexit the referendum might have gone the other way! I will not get into the immigration debate other than to say that I do know that there were a sizeable number of voters trying to stop a totally different kind of immigrant, and Merkel holds a lot of responsibility for Brexit.
I’d favour more integration with EU. And scrap our own gov. They have hardly done anything good since we formed our fist navy and ruled the waves. I don’t get the hate on more EU integration. Id rather be on the inside than the outside. The long term future needs more integration not less. Leaving the EU is a stupid idea. I’d happily drop all out gov completely. They do f all anyway. All parties not just the current lot.
The only ones who gain from a weaker EU are rivals or potential enemies i.e. Russia and the US. We would have been much better advised to work with EU partners in changing the rules from the inside. Now we are just going to get stuffed with rules and regulations without any say in the matter — totally stupid!
Leaving the EU is just as bad as Cornwall wanting to leave the UK, even though Cornwall probably has far more valid gripes with London-centric Government and lack of democratic control.
I read the European Councils post about “more Europe” yesterday and it just confirmed to me that we must get out with all speed.
I do not know what you read, but all I saw was a growing lack of commitment to ‘more Europe’ link
I know that I’ll start a minor war, but I have always had far more problems with the Linux CUPS system than any Windows print drivers. Lee asked for a Linux solution, but for my own use I would have turned straight away to a Windows solution.
I guess manufacturers spend more time ensuring their drivers work in a Windows environment, and do not spend as much time with CUPS. Even when Samsung did a ground-up Linux printer driver my experience was that the results were dire.
Drezha could probably comment better than I, but in my memory of the film a kitchen fire was started with a burning chip pan being turned into a bomb by someone spraying water into it (the initiator wore an asbestos suit and breathing equipment). The resulting fireball hit the ceiling, and ignited a bunch of dripping fires in the tiles, these then produced extremely dense black poisonous smoke which rolled over the whole ceiling and extended down to waist level. The ceiling continued to cook off then reached the flashpoint of the hydrocarbons in the smoke and there was a sudden explosion of fire in the test kitchen accompanied by a rain of burning polystyrene liquid droplets.
Thinking back, it was probably a multi-purpose film of that time, both for a domestic audience (never throw water into a flaming chip pan) and fire-fighters (beware of flash-over, and keep low).
I guess it was a good training film, as since that date our kitchens have always had a fire-blanket handy to put over any fires.
Forty years since I gave up as well. Others smoking still does not worry me, but the worst aspect of giving up is the new-found sense of smell you get. I used to find the smells on London Underground unbearable when an unwashed sweaty armpit was shoved under my nose. Almost made me go back to smoking!
To see the problem you have to look at a brand-new post that someone else has made and before any other posts are added to the thread..
IIRC either your case should have some take-apart instructions, or you can find them on-line. It is a while since I had mine, the worst aspect was trying to fit a water-cooled CPU routing the pipework to a top mounted fan array was a total pain.I came to the conclusion that water-cooling was over-rated at worst, frustrating as hell at best!
I was surprised to hear your comment about an absence of regs for polystyrene as I had the same thought as Steve about its being banned in kitchens. (Apparently they are not approved by local councils for apartments or in HMOs)
As the stuff is even more flammable than the Grenfell Tower cladding no doubt building regs will change!
[edit] Many moons ago I was trained as a backup fire-crew member and I can still remember one training film of a ceiling tile flashover fire – something like 10 secs then you are cooked to death! I stripped all the tiles off our kitchen the next day over-riding SWMBOs protests (this was in the early 70s). Unfortunately I cannot find a similar video but it was scary as hell. (Most of my training was for large chemical/oil fires so this must have been thrown in as a filler by the safety officer)
I found Scribus to be a bit of a pain to use. It was a while ago, but documentation was sparse to non-existent.
I do not recognise any ‘Remainer’ half-truths. Poor predictions with respect to impact timing due to the vote and actually leaving being separated in time — yes. However, most of the finance house impacts have actually come to pass or are in train, as have some of the exchange rate impacts especially the euro/pound rates.The impacts on the service/agricultural sector of lack of labour is now causing actual problems. AFAIK nothing has gone the ‘wrong’ way on the Treasury’s predictions. But no doubt you can correct me.
On the Brexit side the lies and dissembling are slowly being exposed, but some have been concealed by the usual political chicanery (e.g. money for the Health Service — yes, but a recognition that a big budget deficit will happen, but not a word on tax increases as yet). I do not recollect any positives emerging so far. (I do not count a lower exchange rate and more expensive energy costs as ‘positive’, it just enabled us to hold our manufacturing head above water for a while longer., while making things more expensive)
I cannot see the mythical big productivity boost from Brexit coming in under ten years, as this will need both trade deals (where?) and investment(who?). Maybe Rees Mogg could show his faith by committing his family’s £100 million to UK investment rather than sticking it off-shore. Now THAT would impress me!
I double checked NFS can just be turned on in Windows Pro but in theory it is not available for Windows Home.
