Though in reality it will be less than that because I think that the 10% includes losses through the frames etc. which won't change, and may not even improve that much with newer window frames. for gathering around the fire Guavanaut posted:There's pretty much no indoor heat source that isn't terrible for air quality that isn't electric or has an outside exhaust pipe.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Can any of you good folk who know anything about electrics tell me: do RCDs have an 'ampage' in the way that fuses do? RCDs/GFIs/RCBOs are different in that they detect current going where it shouldn't (like through your chest cavity to the tap or radiator that you're touching). They're designed to break with tiny currents like 20mA (0.02A) within the space of a couple of AC cycles, so 10s of milliseconds. If the RCDs are tripping that's usually a sign that there's an earth leakage Communist Thoughts posted:It's just the most progressive papers in the UK reporting that white genocide is real and the Muslims are swarming.

Actually I think you'll find it's the fault of the EU, Sinn Fιin, the Irish Republic of Southern Ireland, the SNP, and Jeremies in general and Jeremy Corbyn in specific for not doing what the Tories want all the time.

I don't think people really believe half of this poo poo that they say. It's more like a prayer card where if you keep repeating the lines then you'll be protected from the worst of the lovely hell you helped to sculpt. That's why it often crumbles completely the minute its challenged with something equally simplistic like "I'd rather have the benefits there in case I ever needed them" or "at least it's all spent in the local economy and not sitting in some offshore bank account" (often just replaced with ranting about foreigners though, ymmv)

He originally wanted to be a kirkman like his da, so I imagine he was ringing at 11pm to warn Kier not to turn the TV onto the high number channels because there's all kinds of touching on there, the antichrist walks among us you know. Kier is too piss drunk to even find the remote.

Most people are happy to talk about their heritage and the positive parts of it that they identify with, but if it turns into a "no but where are you really really from, you can't say a white place" inquisition then that's very different. Lots of English people (I bet they're really really from Jutland) deliberately failing to grasp the difference between the two on social media today.

It depends on context too, if you're at a networking event for people from all over then "where are you from?" can be a neutral question, but if you get "Bob's Plastic Extrusion in Sheffield" as an answer then understand that you've been granted an out rather than an invitation to double down.

Very confused on whether I'm supposed to be cheering for England, the African EU haters, or some kind of god or king, or saying "I am milk" to a confused Spaniard. Is this what happens to your brain when you try to grow concrete in your meth lab?

Yeah the round bottom induction ones always seemed weird and expensive, but the wok rings claim to work with round and flat bottom on induction while allowing you to lift or shift the wok. Obviously you'd lose some of the safety by having a hot shorted turn on top of the inductor, but hot bits that burn you are a permanent aspect of the current gas hob so I guess I'd just not touch the spicy bit while cooking?
