Wheels-Of-Fire

Did you know…

If your display port is dual mode (usually marked as DP++) then you can use a passive adapter.

Or so I’m told 😁

Couldn’t they replace it with a custom SAP’s module ? Come to think of it, if they did it probably wouldn’t work either 😂

And another thing…

It has always been the case that Star Trek has taken and adapted screen plays that were clearly written for a different show altogether, usually a court room drama or a western, but since Voyager they have used the holodeck to just import the plots wholesale.

There are just too many thoughts and “feelings” in modern adaptations of Star Trek, exactly the sort of thing that people who watch it are sick of. What I want to see is thoughts and “actions”, not half an hour of people agonising over what they should do.

I suppose its for security reasons but it is annoying that they never say what the flaw actually is. A flaw in the cryptographic API could be anything.

Or you could do that of course 😂

Oh yes, it SHOULD be safe to use Easeus to remove the Lenovo backup partition and then you can use the space for a Windows recovery partition or you can expand the Windows 7 partition to fill the free space.

The system partition is indeed where your system boots from, it contains the Windows boot manager and Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file amongst other things. On a UEFI system it should be called EFI and be formatted FAT32. Normally only 100MB but 200 is ok.

The Windows 7 is where Windows 10 lives and it would have been called Windows 10 if you…[Read more]

Sorry MBs 😁

Yep, you have to go out of your way to get buffered memory.

Just in case you didn’t know, PC3 12800 memory is also sold as DDR3 1600.

The transfer speed works out as base clock of 800Mhz, X2 because its DDR and X8 because the 64 bit bus is 8 bytes wide so 12800 Mbs.

<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Without giving too much away, my design of variable pump is of the rotor type as used in BL’s A series engine for the oil pump. There are 3 capacities available and the only difference is the thickness of the pump and hence the with of the rotor. My design uses a sliding sleeve to vary the width of the rotor.</p>

Interestingly, information on the Vickers VSG seems to be restricted.

Speaking of gear boxes, I have an idea for an infinatley variable hydrolic gear box an I can’t see why it won’t work.

I have a design for a pump with an easily variable capacity that would be linked to a fixed capacity hydrolic motor.

In principle it just changes the capacity of the driving cylinder which would increase the gear ratio.

Can’t…[Read more]

I think Lead Zeppelin should go under L because the whole thing is their name. Its not first name Lead, sir name Zeppelin 😀

I well remember Slade as a child and I was waiting for their next big hit. I saw an interview where they said they were off to America for a few months to promote their old stuff but they would be back with some new stuff…[Read more]

I was actually closer to death than I thought I was. When they dislodged a clot during the initial attempted angioplasty I went into cardiac shock and they put out a crash call. The big pads they stuck on me were for quick atatchment of a defibrilator but it never came to that. They nearly called a helecoptor to take me to harefield hospital but…[Read more]

I only listed the heart drugs. You can add the drugs below to my daily list 😁

Humulin injection 16 units morning 6 units evening

Vitamin B compound strong 2 tablets daily

Thiamine 100mg twice daily

Generic Creon 40,000 units 3 times a day

Lansoprazole 30mg twice daily

Phenoxymethylpenillin 250mg x2 twice daily

There is news now, they just discharged me 😀

I am on medication and the list is as follows.

Aspirin 75mg daily for life

Clopidogrel 75mg daily for 1 year

Bisoprolol 1.25mg daily

Rosuvasstatin 20mg daily at bed time

Ramipril 1.25 daily

As stress echo test is to follow in 2-3 months and a drug review will be carried out when the results come…[Read more]

There is another benefit to stored hydro power because it uses spinning generators so it can be used to help regulate the frequency of the grid. You can also use DC motors to do the pumping so you can take power from solar and wind sources directly.

Oh I don’t know Ed, pumped hydro storage needed another mention 😁

In the days when we needed to burn fuel to pump water back up it made limited sense, but now we have periods when wind turbines are producing excess power it makes perfect sense to use that.

You really don’t NEED a river but you will need a way to initially fill your lakes and…[Read more]
