Trouble is when swimming you're not carrying your weight, so reducing the effect of the exercise. However, for serious weight loss more exercise is ineffective and very slow acting. The solution is less exercise and activity, meaning less chewing, swallowing and digesting. That's where the...

Much as I dislike the man, Boris Johnson is multilingual, speaking Latin, French and Italian fluently, with passable German and Spanish. Also intelligent enough to have edited major newspapers and become an MP twice, though those are admittedly rather evil ways of using intelligence. And he...

They are 21700 cells and I wonder if they really are their own or just own name branded. They've always used other makes of cells in the past and I've never known of them making a cell. .

Not a clue who made it, but can't help thinking it might only have been a prototype that was never sold. My reasoning is based in there being nowhere to put one's feet. Putting them on the platform with that low seat would not only have been very difficult but also the legs would stop the...

Our Thames Water meters for many years have been all in one stopcock and meter units, installed in the pavement outside at the property boundary. That's a good positioning since it make it easy to see if there's a leak in the pipe from outside when the internal stopcock is shut off. Cutting...

There are so many complexities. For example, whether we like it or not, we'll potentially be using the services of the ECJ for many years and possibly decades, until we've one by one amended every law in which it is the final arbiter. So that makes us liable for some of the cost of running the...

I didn't answer your earlier question since I didn't want to interrupt the discourse between yourself and d8veh. The answer is that I've only recelled with NiMh, never with lithium, so I can't add anything relevant from experience. .

The civil service can prepare the measure, but my understanding is that only the assembly can pass the change into law, hence the N.I minister unable to act. I'm quite sure he could tell the police not to act upon the motorcycle law in respect of pedelecs, we've had similar ministerial...

Not very promising. Several chemistries have been mooted and some are being experimented on, but they most often fail on at least one key factor. Very short life is the most common, but inadequate capacity to bulk and/or weight is also common. At present lithium-ion is still the best option...

It's autoranging, automatically selecting the right voltage range. Plug the probe leads into the two right hand sockets, red to red, black to black. Then after fully charging your battery, turn the meter pointer knob two positions to the right to the red V and bar next to the Ohms "horseshoe"...

True. I suppose an upside is that if a new cell type fails prematurely or doesn't deliver as promised, Tesla can get the blame. .

They (EU) won't do anything. Where we'll suffer if we renege on our commitments is that our credit rating will move sharply downwards. That in turn means we will have to pay much higher interest on our future borrowing, Financiers always punish countries who don't keep their word. .

In my Thames Water company area the meters are usually installed outside at the external stopcock. Between the meter and home internal stopcock it's the householder responsibility for repairs and all water usage, so leaks cost them. The same in that East Surrey reserve I mentioned above as...

Slime was invented for car tyres, which are tubeless of course and quite thick, giving the compound a very good chance to seal. With a bike tyre and tube, any shift between them with the deflation can disrupt the seal as it tries to form. Also bike tubes and most bike tyres are so thin there's...

I don't know, and it's variable anyway. For example, we are signed up to the Galileo European satellite navigation system and the installations for that should be virtually complete next year, so maybe one final installment to pay. But then there are ongoing annual costs if we want the full...

Best course on bikes. A year and a half on puncture resistant Kendas and no punctures, followed by all the years since with Marathon Plus and just one slow puncture. Don't know how many thousands of miles altogether across three e-bikes. It was a different story on the trailer with 16"...

If the Slime works, fine. But when it doesn't and that can often happen, the resultant mess ousing out makes it impossible to effect a patch repair on the road. It hasn't worked for me when i've tried it more than once, so never again, patching's easy and reliable. .

We can't pay nothing. We've signed up to some ongoing project costs to completion and if we welsh on those agreements there will be long term international consequences. However, those amounts aren't remotely like the multi-billions that have been mentioned to date, so shouldn't be difficult...

Indeed, January is a common time for insolvencies since a high proportion of businesses depend on Christmas trading. A poor year for that and many have to throw in the towel. .
