Does anyone have experience of a fairly cheap but decent 50w-ish Bluetooth receiver/amp they can recommend? I'm tempted to get a 'nobsound' from Amazon if only for the name but I fear it might burn my house down.

Those caused a big stir in the local Nextdoor forums. They're a pretty piss poor solution granted but I personally don't know a better one. Placement is laughable though.

NtbaD but your not supposed to advertise for sale other places at the same time as on here. At least offer a hefty discount to take account of all those eBay fees you'll save.

Yaughty bits = expensive, but you're correct, worth doing it right once.

The spacing allows you to hang your washing on the lower line and also to use something like this to spread the tension across the two wires to avoid the bottom one sagging and the top becoming really taught. Although in fairness I'm sure once you have a couple of items hung it would create a gap anyway no matter how close the ends are.

Anyway, you're probably right, gonna crack on and give it a shot with what I can cobble together from UK eBay and stop procrastinating about it.

Good shout, can't see anything big enough immediately but it's another avenue to explore.

Does anyone know where I can get a couple of those big pulleys for a looped clothes line? The only ebay sellers I can find are based in the US, or look like they wouldn't last a year in the UK's wettest city.

Was thinking of making something from 4 smaller surface mounted pulleys but not sure it'll work well with the smaller radius.

This kind of thing:

Maybe have a look on the seconds section of the terranova site.

I need to knock up a kind of small retaining wall for a 3M diameter round patio, basically a concrete ring, in to which I can compact sub-base and on to which I can lay a round patio kit. It'll end up partially above current ground level so needs shuttering.

My question is this: will 3mm hardboard be up to the job of shuttering if steaked in place, or do I need to go to something more sturdy (and expensive) like UPVC utility board?

I think we're talking about different things. I meant the 30min window or whatever it is in which the result on a LFD can be read, rather than positives outside of the expected infection period.

Bit late but I think any sign after the correct timeframe can be a false positive (usually says as much in the instructions)

The producers are such cunts for this title. Victim blaming in the extreme, catchy though.

Not my cup of tea but I'm putting up with it until I'm allowed to put Severance back on.

You did it! I wasn't expecting that unfolding story to end well if I'm honest. Should have had more faith in you.

I have managed to do exactly nothing to my garden today, despite taking the day off almost specifically for that purpose.

I think the 'almost' was my big mistake.

At least it's covered in tarp now so not growing any more weeds.

I am after your recommendation. I'm hooked, which is good because we only have the week long trial of apple TV.

Possibly some shiftmate thing on the rear mech?

No, sold on ebay in the end.

Actually does anyone have a nest mini or nest audio they want to sell me?

Thinking of crossing a line I never thought I would and getting a Nest Audio, my phone's probably doing a pretty good job of spying on me anyway, so I might as well go all-in.

Can anyone comment on the audio quality?

I do actually have some pretty descreet and ok sounding panel speakers that I might like to use but it doesn't look like any of the Nest options have a stereo out or the ability to power external speakers. Is there anything else I should be looking at that fits the bill of integrating with google and powering external speakers?

Edit: I guess adding a small bluetooth receiver/amp is going to be the easiest way

Stick a few rocks in the basket to even it out!

No worries. I need to start scouring free ads in earnest, or just stump up for new.

Don't suppose it'll post easily?

wobbly at low speeds

Surprised to hear this on a Troll (or Ogre?) Presumably because of high centre of gravity rather than frame flex?

Finally got the work computer over the line. Another 5950x. Looking forward to having double the rendering speed in Vray! New supplier has Noctua CPU coolers too.

The other arguments seem excessively pedantic... memory speed hasn't been a bottle neck for years, the bottlenecks are predominantly storage and network, and then the number of physical cores. You would not notice mild memory differences, only big jumps in total memory volume.

Fair point, a little more reading about and I was getting that feeling!

Yes I did think about the upgrade thing, given it's not my money paying for it I think it's easier to get it over the line now with a cheaper price. Apparently we're moving everything to the cloud in a few years. 64Gb serves me fine for now.

Anyone care to answer this to save me some time digging around in manuals

I've secced a computer with:

AMD Ryzen 9 5950x processor
ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING motherboard
and currently 4 x 16GB Ram

Person A says this will not be optimal because the processor has 2 memory channels
Person B says it doesn't matter because the Ram is divided in to Channel 1 A/B and Channel 2 A/B

Who's correct?

MB specs seem to say 4 sticks is fine

Edit: it's Corsair Vengance DDR4 3200Mhz, which I think is Dual Rank, whatever that means, apparently it's relevant
