Sorta-dorta's laptop had LOTS of extra nuts, bolts & glue inserted to replace woefully inadequate hinge fixings.

Lablogger is primarily for booking practicals / demos in a lab, against a teacher. It does have some stocktaking facilities, but I've not explored them as I only deal in discrete items, not grams of potions. For bookings it is very good, and only about £100 year. Free for the first, so well worth trying. There is an active, and usually sensible, Facebook group - School Science Technicians. You don't get too many - I need a car to carry 5 children" - "I've got a Micra, it's brilliant" type threads. CLEAPPS might have suggestions - if your school subscribe, which is quite likely.

I'd agree with Ditto - but that pond looks cold. -
I've got smart things now. Drayton Wiser thermostatic valves means we can set different rooms/times/temperatures. So, the only room in the house (except bathroom & toilet) being heated is the one I'm in, feeling ill.

Anyone for 'Celebrities'? https://quiz.ifour.co.uk/

I'd not go to a mortgage site; if you are struggling, talk to an IFA.

That IS NOT what your teachers are going to expect. You've spent money on buying or hiring kit, therefore they will expect to be able to hear everyone - clearly. That is NOT going to happen.
-
That is totally different from trying to put three mics across the front of the stage, or hung, and hoping to gain any appreciable level. Your scheme stands a cat's chance, the other doesn't.

Program in a few downs through the day. So if someone boosts and forgets, the system will reduce temp in a few hours anyway. AND a very late one, for when kids get home from the pub and turn it all on again!
-
It wouldn't help much. Having done this sort of thing for years (not {thankfully} with primary kids) getting people who can't/won't speak/sing up heard is a thankless task.
-
Forget it? The above suggestions make some sense, but DON'T let anyone get the idea that you're going to be able to hear Mary above the shepherd's shuffling and the sheep over acting.
-
Depends. They all needed cool down time a while back, but changes in lamp tech could have reduced this requirement.

Do Hamsters get bird flu? -
As I wrote above - if there is a switch or amplifier in the system, they may see that as a valid input. A few of the ones here do; not all, which is bizarre.
-
They were doing so well up to that point... The control system would typically use 20% of one incandescent lantern. One LED lantern (proper one, not disco tat) will cost >5x a traditional lantern.
-
Apparently - there is a glut of free-range turkeys. A bit of a flap over bird flu, and lots of people have bought frozen birds early.
-
If your projector is fed by some other electronics (switch/amplifier/scaler), this can provide a signal that prevents shutdown. Weirdly, I see this on a few of ours, despite them being very similar, if not identical, set ups.
-
Anyone seen one that can live in a garage? All seem to require 10-32C environment. The garage might be above 10 but I'd certainly not bet a £ching machine on it.
-
Sonic for PM! I'd add to that - an integrated approach to transport. Bus stations at rail stations. Timetables than work - so you don't get to a station to find your connection fails by 59 minutes - every damn time.
-
And in fact they aren't even looking at long haul - this is for short haul that really should be done by train. (With obvious exceptions)
-
Our HR & Safeguarding teams include a little quiz in MS Forms. Nothing difficult, but enough to give an indication as to whether you HAVE read or are just saying you have.

We were speculating on Fox Wrangler or something.

Having watched a Saturn 1b launch from within Canaveral, I can well imagine the sound. The closest thing I've heard since is a Vulcan taking off at Farnborough; but that was A LOT closer! Your chest vibrates, and the ground does shake. Sorry about the quality - my father let the slides gather dust, and fade rather badly.
