Dungeness nuclear power station earlier today

Boy was it windy!

His voice is still burned into my brain even now all these years later. Good childhood memories.

Thoughts?

Asides from what was mentioned in the article, I think the current rules are unforgiving of children who have family abroad whose school holidays don't align.

Hi,

Any of you folks know about EDPM vs Fibreglass roofing.

I need to make a choice for a property extension in the UK. I expect rain, a few hot days, more rain, more rain, and some ice.

The roof won't be load bearing (people won't be walking on it).

Seems like every other website has differing opinions on what's best. I guess because everyone is selling something.

Any impartial opinions on what you'd use?

Cheers

I don't like gravel. That's it.

• noisy
• scatters all over the neighborhood.
• hard to walk on
• dogs and cats crap in it
• kids chuck it around and put it in their mouth.
• doesn't even look good.
• difficult and heavy to remove once you have come to terms will all of the above.

Gravel advocates... explain your case for gravelling your garden/drive.

Gravel sceptics, feel free to share your distaste.

Hi fediverse,

When using the Prime Video app on my Toshiba android TV, durring playback every so often a glitchy frame flashes past.

The frame is usually a corrupted mess of pink, black and white. Needless to say: very bloody annoying.

Stuff that I tried so far:

• disable subtitles
• disable hdr in prime app settings
• pausing and unpausing
• clear app cache
• curse crappy TV OS and cry

Other ideas that are more effort:

• clear app data and start afresh
• try a separate chromecast

Any ideas before I try those? Thanks

Hi,

I've been using Jerboa for some time, but one day it started saying "unable to verify JWT token" and I appeared to be not logged in any more.

So I removed the account and tried to re-add it. It crashes every time after entering my password.

Tried clearing the cache. No good.

Any ideas?

Great glowing ICs batman!

I wonder if any Olight owners can clarify something about their specs.

Take the i5t for example:

• Level 1: 300-150-30 lumens, 3+25+122 minutes.
• Level 2: 15 lumens, 20 hours.

Those measurements for Level 1, does the torch abruptly step down to the next luminosity, or are those readings more like samplings of a smooth discharge curve?

Thanks

Hey,

With the nights drawing in again, I've started using my Fenix LD02 (v1) pocket torch again. The problem is, the last couple of times I've come to use it, the battery has been dead because it's too easy to switch on accidentally in a pocket/bag.

I think the problem is, the switch is unguarded, so if it bumps against anything, it switches on. I have a Fenix E12 (v1) which doesn't have this issue, presumably because it has metal guards around the tail switch. Sadly the E12 is just a little too big for the wallet I want to carry my torch in, otherwise I'd just use that.

I've tended to stray away from twist-to-turn-on. I had one once and the head section would always come off in my pocket. Maybe it's unfounded?

So what's better for me? Requirements:

• One AAA battery.
• No thicker than 15mm.
• No longer than 90mm.
• 2 or 3 brightness modes.
• Either a hard to accidentally activate tail switch, or a solid twist switch that won't come apart in my pocket.
• Max £30

Does such a thing exist?

Thinks I've considered:

• Lumintop EDC01 (but it's a twisty)
• Olight i3e (but it's twisty and I think only one brightness level)
• Olight i3t (but it has an unguarded tail light)
• Fenix E01 (but it's twisty)
• Lumintop tool AAA (has a partially guarded tail switch)
• Stick with the LD02 and just twist the head to detach the battery while not in use (annoying).

I'm most tempted to try the Lumintop EDC01 because it's very cheap. The Olight i3t looks best quality, but I'm unsure if I'd have the same problem as I have with the LD02.

Thanks!
