  1. @pcstru The forge I have can go to a max of around 1800C at absolute max. Basically I can melt most common metals. For Iron I make my own cookware The rest I make into ingots. When I have enough steel I make blades. Copper, aluminium are ingots which I take to scrap metal dealers, and gold and silver, well that I keep, but I don't do that often enough as its expensive to even get the scrap jewelery or otherwise
  2. I made my own forge. I do it for Iron, Steel, Copper, Aluminium, Silver, Gold...depends on what I have at the time and if there is enough to make a reasonable sized ingot.
  3. Whilst I LOVE Lego, I don't often buy the new stuff, I get the old stuff from charity shops, ebay, car boot sales etc. As for my impact on the environment, I re-use as much as possible at home. If I have scrap wood, I make it into something, I don't chuck it (newest build was 2 chopping boards which I need to oil). If I have any scrap metal I will melt it down into an ingot until I need to use it. Water from the washing up gets used for the garden. Old toys become presents for nieces and nephews. Food scraps (veg, egg shells, fruit etc) get composted, whilst meat not eaten by the use by date goes to the cat.
  4. If you like comicbooks, Injustice: Gods among us has a great story line
  5. That 47 reasons is very very good, a lot of those can be said about my boss. He is working long into the night.
  6. @pcstru sorry should have been clear. They're 80% efficient at creating electricity from their maximum advertised wattage range per cell. My apologies on not being clear. In a test before building my panel (max of 270wH as per cell advertised max and number of cells) 1 single 7.5w cell I can get between 1.8w and 6w depending on how good a day it is. This is me testing on hooking up a multimeter directly to the cell tabs when they've been soldered on. I'm not saying it will sustain that, but thats what I've gotten out of them on a direct connection.
  7. Solar will still charge with it being a cloudy day, it just wont be as efficient. My home made panel on a cloudy day will be around 25% efficient compared to a sunny day where it is around 80% efficient (its home made so I don't expect it to be perfect). Professional ones which have a better grade cell, would be far superior to mine, so will still generate electricity. Still day, well that is fair enough, but small turbines which attach to solar panels don't require massive amounts of wind to get going, a 5mph breeze would be sufficient to get it moving and generating electric (albeit slowly). *edit* Also, your what if scenarios, whilst plausible, wouldn't affect it in the long run. They'd likely have a system in place for energy storage, so if they miss a day, they use the batteries heavily compared to a day where it would trickle charge whilst in use.
  8. do it, get the key, revoke access
  9. ahhh I didn't see that. And you're right, but I would have thought Green Lantern batman would have been more iconic. The man was a beast with the ring!
  10. There is 1 missing. Batman was given a green lantern ring which was specially made for him by 4 Green Lanterns. They had the ability to turn the ring off and on. And they realised giving a man with unlimited imagination the power ring was a bad idea so they turned it off forever. images > http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_medium/11113/111130781/3342762-green_lantern_vol_4_9_variant.jpg http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100309215230/marvel_dc/images/2/21/Batman_Green_Lantern_002.jpg
  11. They could also shove some solar panels on their roof to get additional power, along with maybe some small wind turbines. They could then have some redundancy.
  12. No not me, but other companies. EA are giving away Sims2 ultimate collection....you put in the code I-LOVE-THE-SIMS into redeem a code on Origin, you get The Sims 2 with all of its DLC for free. It's 13 GB. Have at it. and PC gamer are giving away GTR Evolution > linky < Enjoy!
  13. password may well be right, but the question is, for what username is it used?
  14. Dogecoin fans may see their “McShibe” burger become a reality at McDonald’s UK | Bitcoinx It may actually happen!
  15. I died starting the game on Dark Souls...lol literally "Press A to start" and I died. lol (I am kidding, it isn't that bad)
  16. I am of the opinion everyone should grow a large portion of their own, whether as a community with a smallholding, or allotments, or in their own gardens. This way, they grow what they need, and if they want something their neighbours have, they can barter and trade. If they need anything further from what they've grown, then they can buy from a greengrocer, but hey ho, that's just a pipedream!
  17. The whole thing is a debarcle from start to finish. News crews have been contaminating the site from the moment they heard about it. Malaysian Airlines stocks have plunged around 90% (FYI, ideal time to invest in them as they are slowly creeping up again). And lastly, nobody knows yet who was involved. Flying over a warzone is pretty daft in my opinion, however they should have been at least 30'000ft up so Surface to Air missiles would have had a harder time locking on.
  18. Is the server working?
  19. OK, make an OU called Students Then sub OUs called Students 10/11, Students 11/12, Students 12/13, Students 13/14 etc (for whatever years you have). Split them into that. Use the Student Intake for the sims import, then move them all to a new folder (or rename that folder for the new students). This was how I operated, that way when the students left, I changed it to leavers 10/11, and then kept their stuff for a year (some high schools wanted previous work for some students) before removing it all. This way it is all kept streamlined and efficient, you know who is there, who is leaving, and can go from there. *edit* What you are doing shouldn't cause an issue but you may want to have some sort of structure going.
  20. Ask for permission from the broadcaster first. They may be able to send you a copy.
  21. Hang on...wasn't this the basis for the Revolution TV show? Microscopic beings absorbing all energy? It could happen!
  22. @richbrowncardiff did this work for you?
  23. A hypothetical question here for you all... The Dalai Lama now has the ability to transform into the hulk. Who can make him angry enough to transform?
