Agreed, but you'll find that all these fires started by the e-car lithium batteries are Teslas which have caught fire several more times than the twice you mentioned. To give themselves a power density and range advantage they use very large numbers of close packed high density cells of the...

They are for snobs who like to distance themselves from anything common. .

I do, I love vegetables, but a very high proportion of our nations don't. There aren't many veg takeaways for example. .

Possibly, considering the British aversion to cooking and aversion to even eating vegetables. .

You need to use both sides of each sheet. :) .

Used or not, to keep them in good condition I recharge all my small lithium batteries and a couple of lead acid batteries every two months and have a card recording every charge date. Coincidentally I did that this morning 17/3/20, the previous charge being on 12/1/20. I started this routine...

A day ago I forecast that we'll soon see stuff back on the shelves since our stocks are vast, the problem only being one of transport capacity to catch up on the huge spurt in demand. And it's already happening. This morning I spotted a huge Sainsburys truck, so still lacking toilet rolls...

Most veg gets cooked and that kills the virus, so I doubt we'll see more wrapping there. .

Whoopee! The Coronavirus is a gift that just keeps on giving: 1) Large scale deaths helping to solve the overpopulation problem, particularly with a report that the virus reduces male fertility. 2) Paralysing business and keeping people shut indoors, so offsetting the consumer society. 3)...

That's forecast to be just about as Britain's infection starts to peak, so no chance in May or June at least, probably the Autumn at the earliest before we might be able to relax. The government has just said that the over 70s should remain in for three months. .

I only ever do any lithium battery charging when I'm in and wide awake, because even those small ones are not unconditionally safe. I've had two swelling up with internal shorts, one of them a Canon camera battery that I caught just in time. It was actively swelling and I had to use a small...

And that's the problem, as I understand it this trial is only for road use. The law prevents motorised use on pavements, unless a 4 mph mobility vehicle. I can't see the government ever permitting 15 mph e-scooters on pavements when the two speed 4/8mph mobility vehicles have to be registered...

From what I've seen of Brits in Spain, most of them are. .

I'd say go ahead, cycling outdoors in fresh air is good for health and riders in groups are mostly at least a metre apart anyway. .

Fortunately for the industry this appeared in a local news source. In a national newspaper it could have had a serious effect on sales. Nonetheless, appearing shortly after an e-bike killed a woman in an accident it is damaging. These coming at a time when covid-19 is seriously damaging the...

I can't see this ever being done with untraceability, most wouldn't bother to get insured. And what about the under 16s, they can be just as dangerous, even more so, but they cannot buy insurance. We had registration and number plates for all bicycles in Guernsey from before WW2, but it was...

Of course, and I didn't disagree. But you are being unrealistic. How many owners lend their cars to others? I pointed out that the police target the vehicle shown as uninsured and watch for it since they know how it's usually the owner driving. Then they do a routine stop to check who is...

When the police get any ANPR alert on a vehicle without insurance they have the owners address and start to target them, the traffic police knowing those to watch out for. They regularly nick them driving the vehicle since being without insurance is a police hate thing. I'm amazed you didnt...

Of course if done properly this can work. But as I showed with ASDA's example, it won't be done properly, exactly as I've been telling you. The world is full of knowledge of what should be, but in practice full of what shouldn' t be. It's those perverse humans who are the trouble as ever. .
