Today I acquired...........

A poorly Haimer.

The dial appears to have sawdust inside, so much for IP67. The needles are stuck where they shouldn't be, and wiggling the smashed remains of the probe doesn't do anything.

Who thinks it's fixable?

If it is the same as the smaller versions I have then it is likely just the internal rod bit has jumped out of the brass thing (note these technical terms for future use ) and easily sorted.

EVERYTHING is fixable! The issue to debate is is it fixable at a realistic cost.

Try fixing the sound barrier after it's been broken

Try fixing the sound barrier after it's been broken

Mother nature does that all by her self.
Then the humans go break it again.

Could that not be Father nature , or a non binary entity ?

Ricing up my car with some extra high beam lights. I drive 90% on unlit roads and it's dark a lot of the year. Want more warning in case of moose, deer and such. I was gonna get a ledramp, but after lots of research and discussion I decided ot actually go with older style round lights, and they're also halogens for multiple reasons I felt where valid. Also cheap.

Today aged almost 72 I acquired the knowledge of how to use my first ever Smartphone (A Galaxy A13) to enable me to enter contact details & numbers etc , and I made phone call as a result.

The only problem I foresee is will I remember it all in two hours' time.
Will I ever manage to get the QR code reader app to stick in the phone, same with a decent instant carb counter app?

If anyone reading my post uses a super easy to use carb counting app on their phone, would you please let me know the details. by a post or better still via a PM if possible.
For I want to be able to look at a menu or shopping list etc. and use the phone app to find out within a few percentage points what the carbohydrate levels are for a standard portion . To help me come to terms with being newly diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic (I've moved up dangerously quickly from a type two to a type 1 unfortunately, so I need better info & food control.

Had a look at some online carb counting diabetic's sites shove up by the search engines (So is money is in the equation somewhere ???) .

The ones I found so far quite are dismal and don't cover much outside of what supermarkets usually stock . ( supermarket owned maybe???? )

Can you get the bolt on moose /deer alerting scaring off very high pitched screaming whistles where you are ?

I was shown some in Canada 20 years or so ago by FIL's mate, who swore they worked & had had them fitted to all his contractor company vehicles .

Those are around here but I've heard mixed reviews from people. What does seem consistent is they eventually fall off.

Got those little Monk-jack deer around us they do enough damage, a Moose, .
The little dears pop over the rhyne's around us in flights of 5/6 the first about 10mtrs in front of the pack, miss the first the rest are likely to get you.
Think they would be to fast for the screamer @DAPPH

Same here. I don't question the natural order of these things.

Is it legal to use lights that emit UV

... what is the natural order of these things?

That is not a 'thing' it's a concept and somewhat etherial !

I don't know what you mean? Gut instinct says no however, exception made for the sun.

Ultraviolet emitting lights, make animal fur fluoresce. They can be visible long before visible light highlights them

 

[tom2207]

A nice little Esab 150 rouge ,, as new , and for 50 quid it couldnt be bad .
Even better it works.

 

[Blobber]

Kinetic switch thingy, got a large barn with lights around it but dont want them on movement sensors so the scum can see what they are doing, this thing works with the wireless switches and an app on your phone apparently so time will tell, 2,5T+E clip for scale!

By this statement, do you mean that you are now on insulin?
