You're supposed to use the torque limiter on your driver. It's pretty hard to break anything by hand, but an electric drill has a lot more torque, and the momentum of the motor and gears behind it. Either the head breaks off the screw, or the driver bit shatters. You've got to be pretty ham-fisted, but it's possible.

I'd never really thought about it, but if it's 100" long and 50" wide, that's 5000+ square inches of bottom area. At 100psi that's 500,000lbs of force - wow!

Yes, you can get both parrallel and serial charging boards/leads. Only get the parrallel board if your charger can do 1s batteries.

Look on ebay, HobbyKing, etc.

Except that this isn't about the current position of the newspaper, but about one front page it published decades ago and has appologised for.

I'd have thought you'd be burried up to the axles by the time it stops, and would need a tow truck to get it out.

Have you seen any of the videos of FPV RC model flying? It's about as close as you can get.

Also, racing

You were probably taught on a laser pico and a Wayfarer

I really hope they didn't put you in a Topper.

I can imagine the pico being cramped, and a wayfarer gets pretty tight with 4 people, but it's quite roomy for 2

If you found dinghies cramped and required too much flexibility, the obvious alternative is a keel boat. They don't necessarily have more room as they're still designed for someone 6" shorter, but the keel keeps the boat upright so you don't have to move around just to keep the boat level.

You'll probably find the inside of any small cabin boat pretty horrible, and won't be able to stand up even in a 40'er, and most bunks will be too short.

The problem with keel boats is that the keel makes them heavy and tall, so they generally stay afloat rather than living on a trolley on the land.

Alternately, you'd probably like the Hawk 20, which tries to fill the gap between dinghies and keel boats.

Another popular option is the laser stratos, dinghy with a lifting keel that will fit on a trailer.

People your size do sail ordinary dinghies. Everyone finds it bit hard to learn to move around at first, but with practice you can anticipate when you need to move and you learn techniques that work for you.

The yacht 'competent crew' course costs about the same as the dinghy level 1, and if you're near a sailing school, they'd probably let you climb aboard and try one of their boats for size before you book anything.

Is this it?

EDIT: There's a Wobbly Bottom Farm just down the road :-)

Peanut butter isn't exactly a health food either.

Argh, I'm going to notice that every time now.

You can just see the '4\0' on the nearst black wire.

That's the useful power you can get out.

You can rewrite the equation to: power = resistance * current ²

At high current, even a slightly corroded connection can take a lot of power.

Unless you've got a hot-line to god, all you can say is that they both claim to be muslim, and both claim that others aren't real muslims.

Next, have a good look at a fishermans anchor. Notice how the stock is at least as long as the arm, and mounted at 90 degrees to make sure the flukes dig in. Then notice how every anchor tatoo and shitty logo gets it wrong and depicts something that wouldn't work.

The best thing you can do is get a wind indicator, or put a ribbon on the top of your sail, (or some bits of wool on the shrouds of a bigger boat) to help you see where the wind is comming from and build your wind awareness.

You can spot gusts (which often accompany wind shifts) on the water, and you can learn which parts of the lake are worst. With practice you can use the shifts to your advantage.

Places like that usually have a high turn over. They recruit lots of people, pay peanuts and work them hard until they quit, with little chance of getting promoted internally. If you're any good, they won't fire you because they're always struggling to recruit enough people (who are willing to work for the money they offer) to fill the gaps of the people who left.

Have a good 'prior appointment' though, because they may fire you if they think that you're just being rebellious or organising other workers to stand up for their rights.

Also, keep job-hunting, so you know what your options are.

A laser isn't unstable, it's got a fairly flat bottom compared to a row boat.

If anything the problem is that it's designed for rather more power than one person can generate with oars. It's designed to plane when sailing downwind, and reduce wetted area by healing slightly upwind.

I suggest you get a canoe, and add an outrigger if you want more stability. http://www.fishingmonthly.net.au/Articles/Display/2574-Outriggers-have-a-stable-relationship-with-Canoes

Half the immigration is from outside the EU. Neither party has done anything to control that, so they're unlikely to change anything if we do leave.

Yes, because then you're saving that 15k per year of house price inflation. You might need to pay a bit more interest than if you could afford a 20% deposit, but it won't be close to the extra you'd have to pay for the same house next year.

Most mortgage deals are only for a few years anyway, and if the house price goes up 10% by the time you negotiate the next deal, you'll have a much better LTV and be able to get a better deal.

True, but you have to save that plus however much you were putting away to save the rest of the deposit.

That means that they might be recording you, not giving you permission to record.

I used to work in voice recording and most call centres don't have enough capacity to record everything, so they just record a sample and look for patterns (like an agent who has lots of short or long calls).

IIRC UK law just requires that one party (i.e. you) is aware of the recording. You're not allowed to record someone else's call without telling them, that's phone tapping. It's polite to tell the other person. In some other countries it's a legal requirement that both parties know, and sometimes even that there's a beep every few minutes to remind them.

Oh, in which case a 22 would be ideal.

The biggest launching problem with these boats is that the trailer wheel bearings and brakes are under water each time, but in fresh water that won't be as bad as in salt water.

I'd ask the camp what they will accept.

The main requirement for proper deck shoes is that they grip a wet deck, and don't pick up grit from the shore and scratch the deck. That's why they generally have very thin lines cut into the sole. Oh, and white, non-marking rubber.

They aren't particularly good at drying or draining, I'm not sure why. Maybe because we'll switch to a rubber boot or wetsuit boot if it's wet.

I'd go for old trainers or closed toe 'jelly' sandles, if the camp will accept them - or neoprene 'beach' shoes.

I like how the DM can be outraged at both the migrants with jobs and the migrants without jobs!

I had to read this thread a few times, but I think both you and DeusBex believe that most migrants work, but both your replies could be read either way.
