Question for those with composting heads. How do they handle liquid (non-urine) waste, like diarrhea? Can they dry this sufficiently quickly to avoid odour? I am considering an installation but want to cover my bases, so to speak....

It is a real shame that the understandably emotive nature of this case seems, from the outside, to be inhibiting the lessons that could, and need, to be learnt to prevent another catastrophe. The manufacturers are being accused, probably because they are the ones with money to claim, but the...

Be careful before you libel a company. Kingspan was not the supplier of the insulation at Grenfell that caused the problem in the fire. The majority of the insulation was Celotex RS5000 boards made from polyisocyanurate, which is flammable and also emits toxic gasses when it burns. The building...

UK is no longer in the EU, so you need to meet the UK VAT exemption requirements, not the EU, and also be careful if you sail from UK via the EU as you will be importing your boat when you enter, so make sure you have the necessary paperwork to avoid being charged VAT in the EU country you...

I would also like to know what countries now offer such arrangements that didn't before. In 2016 a UK passport was ranked joint 1st as requiring the least number of visas, now it is 7th. India has recently removed the UK from its E-visa scheme, now requiring a full visa prior to travel. I can't...

Many thanks for your input. I have experience and access to adequate design and fabrication facilities to develop the system, so that is not an issue. We have strong currents so I would need a minimum of 5kW of continuous generation to safely operate here, and then the weights start to climb...

Thanks all for this very interesting thread. My boat has just been crashed into by another boat that broke its moorings, so my refit has just been brought forward, and I am interested in an electric refit. This would be custom as my requirements are very specific, and the thoughts of others with...

Any pc can be used as a second monitor using vnc over ethernet, so direct connection using a reversed ethernet cable into a port in the top module bay would work fine. No need for a router. I did this for years with my travelling rig, works well. I understand that win10 can do this also, but I...

All versions of the FZ-G1 have usb, hdmi, and audio on the side, then a top port that takes a range of modules such as a second usb, sd card reader, etc. I have only used hdmi out to an external monitor, so can't comment on whether hdmi in is possible. My base station has multiple hdmi...

There are different versions, we have mk3 and mk6. I can't remember the details but I think there were changes between 2 and 3 that mattered, but between 3 and 6 the only difference is the version of the i5 processor. We bought them all secondhand, and there is lots of cheap accessories...

Viewable in direct sunlight, no problem. We have opensuse, mint, and kubuntu running on different units. The latest  we are using has kubuntu 20.04 with functioning touchscreen.

We use FZ-G1's and they run linux just fine, and are as fast as any other i5 laptop. Daylight-viewable screens and hot-swappable batteries with 7 hours of proper use per charge.

Frost never had to face the voters, hence why he could take on Brexit ministerial duties. Not sure an elected politician should risk their career on this fools errand, though Johnson could find a few stupid enough to try.

That is the key, in my experience. If the building is as much the pleasure as the using of the final project, then the time spent is not lost, but enjoyed. I enjoy building boats, as well as using them, and the 2.5 years full time spent building a 40ft cat flew by. I did not enjoy building my...

Interesting report from BoE, Leo. The "participation rate" given reflects how other countries measure unemployment, i.e. all 16-64 year olds not working. Rate in UK has increased to 21.2%, so similar to most other countries in EU.

18 months tax relief for non-residents. Should be OK for most. Shame they can't spell. Contact the National Yatchline To report a vessel’s arrival call the National Yachtline. You must call the National Yatchline for advice and instruction on anything that must be notified to customs...

And paying for these imports with exports to elsewhere as well?

Even the Torygraph is having doubts now. Interesting comment on this article from an Australian: "In the 21st century about half Australians don't have British origins. So to Australians like me, with Italian and other heritage, the brexiter's assumption that we would fall into line with this...

Do you have a source for China FDI in Barbados? The Barbados site says: "Table 3: Sources and Destination of FDI Data not available." which is a bit strange?

Roller bearings under load in a fixed position will either have flats or will divot the board, depending on which is softer, so if you want to use bearings you need to make sure they are not under load when in a fixed position. Consequently, this requires a complex support that allows the...
