Proof of ID, age I presume. I can't recall if they also wanted something with address. I did not send so they closed / locked the account . I requested my record but they never sent. For some Facebook pages at the the latest few entries can be viewed without logging in. For others none. The latter total understandable if individual but not if a business, museum or similar.

I have just looked and I have the HMVF New (Default) theme. Using Firefox and Ublock Origin I have never seen any adverts on HMVF except the Allied Forces at the top of the screen. This is on a PC running Debian Linux but Firefox on a Windows platform ought to be the same. I never use a smartphone for anything not absolutely essential when no PC access - too hard to see and type on.

Series 3 109 ffr failed ignition ballast resistor

Silver solder has a significantly higher melting temperature than 60/40 tin lead. Even if you have an iron with adjustable temperature it may well not go hot enough for silver solder. For now using 60/40 tin lead would prove you have found the problem. Then for reliability source a replacement. Alternatively source a small crimp jointing tube but before joining the ends with it also slide over some small high temperature insulation sleeving. Once crimped slide this over the tube so it will not touch adjacent windings. -

Great Dorset Steam Fair Cancelled again for 2024
david1212 replied to Nick Johns's topic in Future events and meetings
Sad but I suspect the combination of Health & Safety and Insurance is a big factor. Increase the ticket price significantly in real terms and the number of visitors will drop. Even just index-linked many have significantly less disposable income. GDSF is not Glastonbury that is sold out despite the £355 ticket price !!! -

OT but interesting as I never knew this. I though that in the UK trafficators be they semaphore with a static lamp or flashing lamps has to be orange. -

For hydrogen the first issue is the production, distribution and storage in the quantities required. If the energy source is not green or using a fossil there not is a step reduction in the CO2 and other pollutants produced compared to running a diesel engine one source of CO2 is simply being swapped for another. The second issue is the cost.

If major investment on infrastructure had been started when the 2030 ban was announced it may have been achievable. Another factor is there is not even a plan never mind implementation to replace the income to the government / treasury from diesel and petrol duty. VAT at public EV chargers is 20% while unless it can be separated from all other use 5% from home / private charging. The Toyota technology seems good.

I do not use Chrome at all. I have read that Google are blocking/disabling all adblock plug-ins / extensions. On both PC ( Linux or Windows ) and Android phone I use Firefox. I add the Ublock Origin extension. From the default I also activate Annoyances > Easylist Cookie Notices. I also have the Google Cookie Consent Pop-up blocker. I do not directly use Google as my search engine but indirectly by using Startpage as my home page. I only browse HMVF on my PC and have been totally unaware of any problem. There is the Adrian Flux or Allied Forces Ltd advert neat the top of the page, nothing else.

Indeed. I use a more generic variation to cover non manufacturing tasks too regularly " He or she who never made a mistake never did anything!! "
