This was a bad move imo to vandalize.
It's one thing to take down a statue where the person is primarily known to be or do a bad thing.
But here with Churchill, we know he was a fucker in private, but most primarily know him for WW2.
And esp the day after D-Day, the narrative is stacked against the protesters here.

Down this route lies the Bermuda triangle that good old Ed was pulled into

I work in the water industry now (toot). Leaks are very difficult to find. You only know about them if the leak is so bad that the pipe physically bursts and causes the water to rush out to the surface in it's bid to escape. Slow leaks (from faulty or poorly made connections, minor corrosion or just badly jointed pipes) might show themselves after like 20 years after install and are usually so minor that you would literally never know unless you had to dig up the pipe anyway. But theres a lot of them so that adds up, a lot, over time. Maybe only 1 or 2 litres a day, but times that by 200,000 faulty connections and suddenly that's 400k litres of water soaking into the ground

The water companies do get fined or given other incentives by Ofwat to reduce leakage rates but the other honest answer is that this hodge podge, bastardized, "we're not nationalized, there is genuine competition honest" means that the records of pipe ages, pipe types, pipe expected lifetime and even pipe sizes are nearly impossible to find without digging up the road, so preventative maintenance is nearly impossible except in cases where they've already dug the pipe up before. We've heard stories of contractors digging up a pipe and bringing all the gear along after being told by the relevent water board that it's an 1800's cast iron pipe, 7" in diameter, and they get there and it's a 12" asbestos cement pipe which is suddenly much more of a problem to deal with.

I�d check which team at your bit are working on the response to the National Underground Asset Register Project being run by the GEO6. Short term there�s going to be pain in determining asset information, but there�s no chance in 2030/40 the �but it�s underground and difficult to get too� thing will fly.

It's normally highly polished and coated to reduce reflections and is cast (? flowed? whatever they call it) at higher temperatures to ensure a more consistent thickness reducing distortion, and really high-quality archival scanners will use optical-quality glass so it scatters different frequencies more consistently. The reflectivity's really important because obviously some of the light from the scanner will reflect off it back to the collector - obviously this reduces contrast (because even the blackest parts of the subject will be non-zero saturation from those reflections). You can correct a lot of that in software, but it's still going to reduce your quality for anything but the purest monochrome.

Modern cheap ones probably just use the thin borosilicate glass that they used to use for CRTs and incandescent light bulbs because obviously there's not much demand for it anywhere else any more - I wonder if that's why scanners now don't cost much more than keyboards these days.

(Source: worked for a while at a place that did archival scanning and one thing that came up over and over again was the importance of weighing anything you put on the glass first because it cost like a grand to replace the A2-sized glass on the big scanner, which could only accept a weight of 5kg because it was a big unsupported lump of glass - there was a place with an inverted scanner that we could send stuff off to if we had to.)

A nice use of those digitised archives is stuff like this;

Heat chat. The server room at a company I used to work for had a big rubber door seal with a massive fan in the middle that was used to cool the room down on hiot days, and that thing was good at turning the room into an ice box in a few minutes. Any computer touchers know the company that makes these? Google searching "server room door fan" isn't dinging much.

As far as I understand it, mansplaining is the act of talking over a woman about an area in which she has superior knowledge without invitation or as part of a debate. She has knowledge of her own lived experience as a ciswoman, but that doesn�t mean that you arguing for fundamental human rights for trans people is mansplaining to her.

Semi-related to sword chat - I've got a couple of old kitchen knives that are chipped to gently caress that I want to get rid of, but I'm tying myself in mental knots trying to work out *where*. I don't want to just dump them in a bin, even safely wrapped up, because of the potential danger to people handling the rubbish (and also if someone finds a couple of "concealed" knives in a bin it's probably going to at least waste some time if they think they might be something criminal). My local recycling has big "NO SHARPS" signs, and it'd feel just weird dumping them in an amnesty bin at a police station then seeing them in a "Look at all the dangerous weapons we took off the streets" press release. Any thoughts?

Build a forge and turn them into one, larger knife

Aye, I was specifically thinking of Strathclyde when I said exceptions, coz I know Strathclyde is extremely it for Chemical Engineering & presumably some other hard sciences. And doesn't Glasgow Caley have a good rep for something like forensics or some discipline along those lines? I suppose the choice isn't bad for a country Scotland's size but I dunno, St Andrews is basically Scottish Oxbridge/Durham as far as a rep for having a snooty student base goes, so for most people that really drops the places you can even consider (I know when my sister was applying to uni my uncle, who was the first in the family to attend uni & went to St Andrews, strongly suggested she didn't follow on his footsteps because he loving hated it).

Oh well, not like the English seem in any real fuss to change this.
