Anyone have experience with dongles or mobile routers for internet when travelling? We're driving to the UK in the summer and travelling around a bit while there, and my partner needs to be able to do video meetings. I know that nothing short of satellite internet is going to reliably get her online if we're out in the Highlands, but any idea what's good for areas with 4G/5G connectivity? When I search half of them are devices you rent and pay some ridiculously high daily rate for access, but I'm after something we can buy and put in our own SIM card with more reasonable data rates. I did find an £800 Netgear 5G device that fits the bill but that seems a bit steep.

Starlink roam.

The dongles are great, until they aren't. I met someone recently who has starlink roam on his campervan and works from it for long periods with zero problems having been unable to get 4g/5g reliable enough.

My uncle, who is dead now so can't be done for anything, was a train driver and had done amazing stories.

Train coming into station without a driver, they had to go back looking for him and found a body. But then he got up, he'd just been drunk and fallen out of the cab.

Also bouncing a train off some buffers and derailing it. Rather than reporting it which would of been a big deal, they just powered it back on the rails.

Rip terrible train driver

one presumes you're not putting a solar-thermal death laser on your house

it doesnt look nice.

There was a planning application down the road i looked at a while ago. they had permission approved to build a single house in the garden of another large house. But they had sold off that land and permission to someone else who was now trying to change the planning to be two semi detached houses that occupied essentially exactly the same footprint.

The house opposite complained in writing for everyone to see that it was offensive to them that everytime they walked out their front door they'd have to look across the road and see semi detached houses and that wasnt in keeping with the village aesthetic.

so yeah

Jeremy Vine had people on to complain about the 40k stamps today.

Theres an article on BBC with suella and the police patting themselves on the back for having the police attend, not solve but attend, every burglary in 2022.

There's nothing to get in Friends. A friend of mine inflicted an episode on me and there literally weren't any jokes in it.

Perhaps they've bought it in a shop and are taking it home. Perhaps they're taking it to a friends house because their friend is without a butter knife. Perhaps they found it on the ground and are taking it to the closest bin but council cut backs means it's a long walk to said bin.

I hope any of these prompts help you with your writing.

Ok but the only evidence we have for someone being stop and searched and the result being the confiscation of a butter knife is you feeling like it has happened many times.

(Disclaimer: I only scuba dive a bit and have no other specific knowledge)

How much deco you need to have to not get DCS ("the bends") is a function of how much pressure your body (actually, the breathing gas you're breathing, I think, but same same) is under, and how long you've been there.

I think in a sub escape trunk, you go from normal 1 atmospheric pressure (inside the sub), to depth pressure (in a military sub, that's classified, obvs, but unclass figures are between 400-700m underwater - equivalent to ~69 atmospheres (nice)). Your ears will hurt. Bad.

But then as you ascend pressure then reduces again to atmospheric when you pop out like a cork. Hopefully only for a couple of minutes, and that's with you breathing out all the time.

You'd probably be okay. Probably. Assuming the escape trunk worked at all. But that's from a maximum of 750m underwater.

Titanic is at 4000m. Four times the theoretical limit of the human body to withstand pressure.

If you were somehow able to open the hatch at that depth, the entire submarine would immediately fill up with water until only 1/400th of its volume was left containing air. And because of the incredible increase in pressure, that air would explode.

Your lungs and inner ears, and any other air pockets in your body would instantly be crushed. I suspect your bones would crumple, too.

You'd die instantly.

this was the third of fourth dive they'd done. but maybe the submarine wore out.
