MrsC's left handed daughter eats right handed, and her twin right handed sister eats left handed. We think it is due to watching each other when they were learning. But .... wut? -
If only when the transmitters are on, I'd be looking for faults in one of them. Try to borrow a new transmitter, and see what happens.

Canford Audio have a useful guide. And I remain to be entirely convinced by the 2.4GHz idea - that spectrum is already crowded, and some of the stuff doesn't play nicely with IT WiFi. Stomps all over it, in fact. Infrequent bursts of noise could be coming from equipment switching near you. Things like - microwaves, lifts, fan motors, unsurpressed car/bike engines, etc. Try to tie down a timing / interval.

The doctor that gave me my second jab said they'd been working continuously without a break for months. (No pedants, not 24/7) and that was winding up last week. So that will reduce capacity. NHS didn't cover themselves with glory, requiring recently retired nurses (who had been training nurses to give injections) to do full training (PREVENT, Working at Height, Fire Safety etc, etc... 40hrs I believe) before they could administer jabs in centers set up for just that, and managed by others. -

Start with EVERY new house has to be built with solar of some sort (with caveats re orientation etc) and/or GSHP / ASHP. No excuses for big developers who might give big party political donations to one party....

Yeeeesss... My question was really "how much less efficient - anything in real-world terms"?
-
Less efficient. Define "so cold". There's still a lot of energy in the air at 273K.

2nd tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. -
In 1973 I watched the second crew launch to Skylab. My father had worked with the crews at Johnson Space Center (sic) in Houston. The rocket was the Saturn 1b, baby brother of the Saturn 5, but it still shook the ground and made my chest vibrate

The "wellbeing" does. (My squiggly line thinks that should be hyphenated)

Easy answer - buy from "Who Gives A Cr**" Supposedly recycled, (eewww) paper wrapped, and delivered. We got a box last year just as the TP flap started. Could have made a killing...

At a first guess - is there a voltage present between the earth of the laptop, and the earth of the socket?

I've just looked back at the earliest thread that I commented on - who'd have thought that this could actually become standard technician garb within a couple of decades?
