Great news Bob, keep fighting the war. Unfortunatly I’m still in my favourite hotel after 5 weeks with maybe one to go if the microbiologists can sort out some effective antibiotics in tablet form for me to take instead of IV drips 24/7. Back to bird bathing in the sink ex RN style although I do wish my legs were that bit longer if you get my drift.😁😁
The first time I lapped a chip I had all the kit, wet / dry down to seriously smooth, mirror, tape, water. The only problem I kept walking to it, walking away thinking what if it goes t*ts, physically shaking. Defo NO!!! 😂😂 Things we do when we were younger, bloody silly really.
Keith I think you might find that the sweet spot is actually 3600, that is 1800 x 2. There is a debate whether 3200 with tight timings is better than 3600 with loose timings. But as a person who has lapped C2Duo’s, which I still have although I have promised to get rid of all the bits when I get out, and totally removed IHS’s from other various chips and clocked up many different chips starting with an old single core Athlon I ain’t gonna get on that bus again, trust me. Takes over your life 10 more Mhz, then 15, nooooo!!!!, besides that if I were going to do that I would have picked a better board.
For veterans of the old Micromart forum I can still remember having a “discussion” with Jason about the best way to lap a chip, up and down or round and round, I still think i was right.😃
Couldn’t agree more Richard, hygiene will go a long long way in preventing more widespread infection.
More to think about.
Dave: Phanteks seem to very popular, they are normally in the top ten of various testing sites and I do agree they look pretty good. The plan was to get everything, running, settled and tested then when funds allow upgrade the case. Will look at the Bitfenix Nova.
Ed, read quite a bit about ray tracing, nothing else to do, and still in it’s infancy really. Although one or two good games will have people opening their wallets to change from AMD to NVidia, but who knows AMD will probably have a solution before / if ray tracing becomes the norm. although if the opinions are the web are to be believed, it’s going to take some serious hardware unless their is a way of finding the middle ground.
Ahh, understand now, the bit that I quoted is total rubbish. Also masks have two sides, you change the side depeding on whether its you that are infectious or other people are and you are protecting yourself.
“The salt coating on the fiber surface dissolves upon exposure to virus aerosols and recrystallizes during drying, destroying the pathogens”.
As some who wears a mask constantly I can tell you now they never dry out. Condensation from your breath makes them moist almost constantly. I normally carry at least ten and change them all the time. So I can’t see how that will work. As you say the only way is by wearing a respirator type mask.
At least I know what it is like when they put you in a room all by yourself and isolate you from ether giving something to someone or you getting it. I’m already 3 weeks in to at least a 7 week “sentence”. But while I know that some of those who have been “detained” will cope admirably others will struggle. At least my family can visit at any time day or night albeit dressed in plastic and rubber so I can have a direct conversation with them, although if you count WhatsApp I am now quite a prolific social media user. All I can say I hope all those in that situation get cleared and carry on their lives. If it does get out into the wild though I can see very serious problems on the horion.
My boy did a fake donnor which if I remember correctly mainly consisted of lamb mince plus spices etc which was the compressed into a tin can. He said that he got it from here https://pinchofnom.com/ I cant find it, maybe you might have betterluck.
Funny thing that Bob, my “southern blackbirds also love raisins, if there are none left in the feeder they sit there tapping their beaks until the better half puts some out for them. (No I’m not lazy but on going blood problems prevent me doing a lot of things I would like to do). Together with the blackbirds I also have thrushes which I used to feed snails from the undersides of the many pots in the garden and of course the robins which appear from nowhere when the pots are moved around the garden leaving the small red worms exposed. No fieldfares or redwings at all this year so far, obviously not cold enough up north to push them down.
As to porridge when I was still working I used to do similaar to Ed, put in overnight and add fresh berries before eating, bloody lovely.Haven’t we been here before with the whole F-4 Phantom debarcle with the yanks in Vietnam. No internal canon or gun system, mainly reliant on AIM-7 Sparrow missles, no wonder they couldn’t dog fight. (Great aeroplane for it’s time and imho one of the best looking Naval aircraft alongside the Sea Vixen).
Couldn’t agree more Richard. As someone who has had to deal with supposed GreenPEACE protesters, and I empasis the PEACE, they are some of the most obnoxious people I have ever had contact with. They see no-one’s point of view but their own and in some circumstances direct action is required.
I have seen the longer video of this incident and in one segment there is another female being escorted out of the room who clearly puts her hand down the front of her low cut dress and takes something out. I don’t know what it was but it could have been anything.
So yes hindsight is wonderful and all seeing but when incidents occur in a short space of time it just ain’t there and let’s not forget that “if you have an honestly held belief that you or another, are in imminent danger, then you may use such force as is reasonable and necessary to avert that danger”. (Common Law R V Griffiths 1988).
So the question to be answered is was the level of force used reasonable and necessary? Unfortunately you or I don’t know what was in his mind at the time of the incident and what his perception of what the danger was.February 20, 2019 at 1:17 pm in reply to: Is Labour now "#&cked" as was overheard yesterday during the TIG Launch? #30954Dave I’m certainly not complencent. I have just spent 3 months in hospital in a isolation room, not including my 3 visits to the icu. During that time I have watched, listened and read almost every political broadcast there was. Even LBC at half 3 in the morning.
Many of my Doctors and Nurses were from the EU. One of the Italian surgeons who carried out 3 of my 5 operations hopes that Italy will be next. One of my Spanish nurses has never been a nurse in Spain. All her work following her training has been here. She has made her life here and has no intention of going home, Brexit or not, unless she has to.
On the other hand there are others who are seriously worried and think the UK is making a bad mistake. So no I am not complacent, and I won’t get into my own views here, it would take far to long. I will say that this whole European experiment has right from the start in the 70’s been riddled with lies and deceit and both sides are equally responsible. From the restricted FCO report that was kept secret for 30 years, to the promised referendums, to the mis information of John Major and the infamous bus.
February 20, 2019 at 12:08 pm in reply to: Is Labour now "#&cked" as was overheard yesterday during the TIG Launch? #30952Can’t have that, that means labour are leading 8 – 3. Corbyn will start gloating ??
February 20, 2019 at 11:38 am in reply to: Is Labour now "#&cked" as was overheard yesterday during the TIG Launch? #309503 tories gone now to TIG. How many more?
When I started my trade training in the RN one of the first lessons we had was the film of the fire which occurred on the USS Forrestal in 1967. We were also shown the classified film of the effects of the fire below decks. The point being if you didn’t do your job properly this is what could happen. As a young sprog this had quite an effect on me and the memory has stayed with me since.
The damage control training I did was, to start, good fun. A compartment with various holes and damage which was slowly filled with water until the flow was stopped. All good until the water temperature was reduced until it was near to freezing. Amazing how quickly the body stops working with the brain becoming very fuzzy very rapidly. H&S wouldn’t allow it these days.
Talking about ships that don’t work, the last RN ships which were remotely reliable were the Leander frigates. Most classes of ships since have had quite serious design flaws. From having to re-inforce hulls, single system fire rings and lately ships which can’t move and fight at the same time because there isn’t enough power. Couldn’t make it up and I won’t even start on the missed opportunities with the new carriers. F-35 ha!
Well done Bob, good to know you are on the mend.
Another 6 hours on table yesterday, got a better overview of options and finished now until Friday, when if all ok plastics will start choosing, their words, what skin and where from they want to use. Not going to be easy or quick, but at least we have started.
What was so frightening was the speed in which it happened. From walking the dog Saturday afternoon to having 2 hours to live in the early hours of Monday. My immune system was compromised at the time so that is probably why it advanced so quickly. However I cannot praise the medical staff highly enough even to the extent of the psychologist who helped me get my head around it all. Now hot chocolate before the nil by mouth kicks in.
How right you are. 4 weeks ago had an infection which very quickly turned into full blown sepsis. After gathering the family, dnr’s, changing the settings on my ICD and absolutely amazing work from the ICU staff I managed to get through it. Now into my 5th week in the heamatology isolation unit I am well (?) enough to have a 6-10 hour operation to start to repair the damage caused. This involves 3 different surgical teams in order to sort out the various problems. So Xmas gifts include two new buttocks, 3 stone weight loss, new bag, minus contents, and 2 waste collection recepticals. Not all doom and gloom though, still here.
On that note well done Bob, and good luck and best wishes to all those either suffering themselves or have loved ones who are.Not directly connected to your problems PM, but I have been given this http://bit.ly/2DZXEOY to combat my Hemolytic Anemia. I have a monthly dose 25% of that given to rheumatoid arthritis sufferers. I have had three doses so far and supplemented by 4 sub-cut injections per week my bloods have improved dramatically, in fact no more blood or platelet transfusions since the first infusion. It also, in my case, works out to be a lot cheaper. Not specifically licenced for that use but my consultant obtained permission for it to be used. Don’t know if you would be suitable but it might be worth asking
