Coronavirus: General discussion (see opening post for rules)

Groo... GWS! -
Fire Fire Fire - how does your school do the register?
Andrew_C replied to 5nowman's topic in How do you do....it?
A bggrs muddle here. School spread over 1/4 of the city. Different plans for different buildings, and a night/wet weather plan too. Not really an option for a "one size fits all" plan, so it may be the best option. We use paper on a clipboard in science. We try to keep the set lists and timetables up-to-date. It is however impossible to be 100% accurate. -
Why , just why would someone do this [Cut down the Sycamore Gap tree]

Long walk anywhere with several tonnes of wood over your shoulder! https://www.google.com/maps/@55.0036028,-2.37918,4575m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu -
Digitally record staff meeting attendance
Andrew_C replied to lmgtfy's topic in How do you do....it?
I know nowt about the mechanics - You won't necessarily capture every entry unless your staff arrive one by one. That is, unless they WANT to be registered as attending. -

Andrew_C replied to network41's topic in General Chat
Someone has already walked up with tools, and a sapling, and planted a new one. -

10mins of TicToc fame? -
Possible - using Aten hardware, but can't see anything there either.

We've had the electronics in our lectern replaced, and the control is now on an iPad (not my choice) and we are having intermittent connection issues. One thing I'd like to clear up, what does this symbol mean? Occasionally found flashing away in the very corner of the screen. I can't see it in any list Apple produce. Of course, it won't do it now to actually photograph...

The Wildlife (and Gardening for Wildlife) thread
Andrew_C replied to elsiegee40's topic in General Chat
Photos to follow, but the hogs are back, and at least one has moved into a hog-house. Our first tenant. -
Help with Stange Display Port/HMDI issue
Andrew_C replied to mdrabble's topic in AV and Multimedia Related
Do your teachers move around? I've had issues with someone's set up being different to the previous user, and shenanigans as you describe occurring. -
Nope. Just pull the handle with a key in range. No warning clicks, clunks, or flashes. Can be set to alarm the car if you just walk away, but not lock it. This is NOT a good idea. (4am, collecting sorta-dorta's friends for an airport run. They got to the car before me. I worked out how to disable it soon after)
-
Took a fair while to stop MrsC going back to check that I'd locked the car - with her keys in her handbag.

Six kettles would be fine, the fuse would let go fairly soon. Three 2kW kettles on an extension... That's where problems arise.

Certain works (ie in a garage, outside) almost certainly fall into the Part P racket. That said, it looks like you are heading the right way, but DO run, and connect earth to all locations. You don't know when you might change the fitting to a metal one, all the earths can be commoned where you write "Mains". 2.5 is overkill for lighting, and sort your extensions out!

They did here. Had a cage on board, and took some loose big stuff too.
-
That is a one-off hit. They did that here too, but we had plenty for them...

That smells of breaching a fire zone. Be careful, you may do it, provided a smoke stop shutter is fitted.

Lightning strikes and protection
Andrew_C replied to Ditto's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
I very much doubt that any 'general purpose' surge protector is going to do anything about a local lightning strike. No good protecting the mains wires if your phone line comes in on copper etc. A rod might be useful - istr that you need to imagine a 50m diameter ball rolling around. Where it touches the ground or buildings, those are at risk. -
Well, who could have predicted that?

Spotted something by BS Johnson. That one? We thought the episode (might be 3) with zombies was a bit weak compared to the rest. Now we're waiting for season 3...

You've got a bank?! The Wilko near my folks was never what you would call busy. Doing some trade, but not surprised it isn't sustainable.

"Squaring the Circle" The story of Hypgnosis. If you don't know, they designed THE album cover of all time. Well, actually, several of them... Going to see "2001" on the big screen for the first time on Saturday.

Not sure if it is officially advised, but when I broke one, strapping it helped. Ordinary crepe slightly elastic bandage. Took a while, but seemed to stop needing to all of a sudden.

Things that could have been improved before being approved...

Do some of those go sideways?
