Just made some beef jerky. Cheapy Lidl steak hammered very thin, cut into 1" wide strips, marinaded for 12hrs in a witches brew of golden syrup, soy sauce, per-peri spices and Bovril(!), and then baked on a rack in the oven for 6 hours at 75deg. Turned twice and brushed with marinade during that time. Bloody marvellous.

Just ordered a new bench vice and a bunch of new HSS bits. Barely managed to resist the temptation to splash out on a pillar drill. Oh, the excitement of isolation.

Looking for someone who could make a small run (probably 12 at most) of approx. 6"x1.5" single sided PCBs without costing the earth. Any recommendations? Local to Bristol/Wiltshire would be nice, but not mandatory.

Free shipping world wide. I've used them dozens of times very happily. Not the cheapest, but great quality and no language barriers, hidden costs, etc.

I recently used http://pcbway.com to make some micro usb breakout boards. 20 boards cost $21 inc shipping, as there was a $5 voucher for your first order. Would have been quick, but I missed the Chinese New Year deadline. I'm going to order some more pcbs from them soon as my design has evolved.

Made the mistake earlier of listening to/watching Vulfpeck's "Dean Town" again earlier.
F**k it. I give up.

Marcus Rashford's twitter feed today has been glorious. The sort of thing that restores your faith in humanity.

New ear cushions and headband fitted to my trusty Sennheiser HD280 pros... good for another 20 years now, I reckon!

Hi,
Here's what mine look like now. I bought both the ear cushions and the headband cover off fleaBay for not very much at all.
The cushions went on with a minimal amount of swearing -- after destroying the old ones to take them off, the new ones have to be stretched so that the retaining strip slips into a small gap round the outside. Easier done than explained, actually
The headband cover really is a knitted woollen thing held on with poppers... looks like something your nan might make but it's really very comfortable, especially when you're a bit short of thatch up top like I am

Nice start to the day today. Came downstairs to find a very tired looking white-tailed bumblebee stumbling about on the hall floor. I recalled reading something about bees responding well to a bit of energy and hydration, so i mixed a tiny bit of sugar in a splash of water on the end of a teaspoon, and held it down in front of the bee. It found it and immediately started to drink, I could see its tongue lapping it up. After slurping for a couple of minutes it stopped and visibly began to revive, so I took it outside. It headed straight for some flowers and started doing what bees do, looking a lot healthier. My feelgood moment for the day.

Well done you. Restores my faith in humanity reading things like that. Unlike the little shyte I saw in the park. He was astride his bike with another kid watching and was bouncing his front wheel up and down on the path. As I rounded the corner, his mate remonstrated with him to which he shouted ‘I don’t care, I hate them’ and on seeing me they both scarpered. When I stopped where they had been there were pieces of earthworms squidged all over the path. His parents would be sooo proud if they knew 🤬. Not little kids either. Probably 10yrs if not more. Makes my blood boil. Well, boil more than it is already today 🥵.

Our trombone dude passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Wednesday. Whole band is stunned and bereft... can't believe we'll never see him again. Such a lovely guy.
RIP Stewy the 'Bone. </3

Rancid's 'Time Bomb' is now in the ska band set. I'm a happy camper :-D

Sad day. Lost a dearly loved ex-colleague to cancer this morning.

Scientists: We're going to send an unmanned spacecraft on a 7 month 120 million mile journey, where we will land a vehicle in a precise place on another planet to spend 2 years making detailed studies.
Public: Wow, that's amazing! I can't even begin to comprehend how you'd do that.
Scientists: Also, if you wear a simple piece of cloth ply over your face, like surgeons do every day, you can keep from spreading a nasty virus to other people.
Public: Oh f*** off, you know nothing.

Shuttle 9.2 incoming...

From the manual:
QuoteWhen driving the power amp hard, the result is increased heft and girth while maintaining the dynamics and articulation of individual notes.That's where I've been going wrong. I've been going for heft when I should have been paying more attention to my girth!

excellent tips
