Tom Baker is turning his long-lost Doctor Who movie script into a novel | 19mm Momentary Push Button

Precisely, there is no need to reinvent the wheel (even though is more fun). This even has basic temperature control, just add a digital readout and an arduino somwhere.

My first job in the trades was as an electrician’s apprentice doing tasks, such as pulling wire, building light fixtures, and moving scaffolding in grocery store renovations. I moved into HVACR and now serve as an HVACR contractor, instructor, and electrician.

I know this goes against what many of you have been told and understood your entire career, but take a deep breath and read on.

Solar water heaters are nice. Sadly, when one gets far north, the sun isn’t a common sight during the cold parts of the year.

How about trying to say something accurate for a change? Almost everything you say lately is provably WRONG.

China needs to sort it’s shit out. Eventually, they might, then that’ll be OK. They may evolve the same way the West did til their business standards are reputable. Of course, that all happened to the West around the 19th and 20th Centuries. Since then, in the West, corruption has increased, and political bodies are bought and paid for by gigantic mega-corps, seeking monopolism and every other bent tactic they can try, for an eternally increasing share price.

Indeed, I did a HV Course at a functioning power station where once you had isolated an 11kV switchboard you had to grab hold of the bus bars to show the other workers it was safe to carry out their work.

99% of the time you can’t even begin to sue because fakes were often dumped and mixed in throughout the supply lines so it’s nearly impossible to track it back to the factory that made the fake. And even if you could find the original factory, international lawsuit rarely works out.

After which he had an excuse to take the afternoon off and he repaired to the pub for “a feed” of Guinness!

Very nice. It’s similar to my Toast-R-Reflow power board (though that one has two channels and uses BTA-20s).

I’m not remotely an experienced sports shooter, so I can have trouble tracking fast-moving subjects under the best of circumstances. Already finding tracking fast action closely challenging, I found tracking fast action closely based on a series of static images delayed by 1/10 second or more was quite a bit harder still. After a little practice, I got better at doing so, but I sometimes found myself resorting to tricks like keeping both eyes open while shooting, or shooting in short bursts and using the time between bursts to get the subject properly framed with full-time live view again.

High-end professional SLRs drop the mirror between exposures, providing a direct (however brief) view of the subject between shots. In contrast, in their highest-speed capture modes, the Sony A33 and A55 display a static image of the shot they’ve just captured. Rather than seeing interrupted glimpses of your subject in motion, the A55 displays a procession of still images, each lagging the subject motion.
