RE: SAY ANYTHING III

For a second I thought it was freezing in hell but it turns out to be just a glitch in the system.
All back to normal and another year has past

RE: Half of the polar ice cap is gone

While the Antarctic sea ice yearly wintertime maximum extent hit record highs from 2012 to 2014 before returning to average levels in 2015, both the Arctic wintertime maximum and its summer minimum extent have been in a sharp decline for the past decades. Studies show that globally, the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice.


The upward trend in the Antarctic, however, is only about a third of the magnitude of the rapid loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.

RE: Favorite Classic TV Shows.

When I was small these three I realy loved

Emil, based on books by Astrid Lindgren (Emil i Lönneberga)
Pippi Longstocking, also based on books by Astrid Lindgren
The little mole (Krtecek), Czech, but without spoken words

RE: Any well educated scientific-types out there to help with a few questions?

That was my first reaction as well, but then came across that link.
A few links later, there is none that says not to do it but most mention that there is little or no gain and more risks involved.

Looking at the discharge rates, it makes sense that in some applications some people would want to put batteries in the fridge. If you were a photographer that needed to store a bunch of early generation NiHM batteries for your flashes, for example, it might have made sense to charge them all at once, put them in the fridge, and then throw them in your gear bag the morning of a big event.

Practically speaking, however, there’s next to no reason to put your batteries in the fridge. Whatever gains you might get in shelf-life using the technique would be offset by potential problems. Micro condensation on and inside the battery can damage it and cause corrosion. Extremely low temperatures (such as a very chilly portion of the fridge or placing them in a freezer as some people erroneously advise) can further damage the batteries. Even if you don’t outright damage the battery, you have to wait for the battery to warm up to use it and keep it from gathering condensation if the room is humid.

In essence, you’re risking ruining your batteries to squeeze a few months of storage out of them and, further, the batteries that benefit most from cold storage are rechargeable and could have just been recharged prior to your intended use. To seal our stance on leaving your batteries at room temperature, the manufacturers themselves officially recommend against it. So, buy your battery storage box, but keep it in a cool, dry, and non-refrigerated location.


RE: Any well educated scientific-types out there to help with a few questions?



rejuvenate, no chance
storing batteries in a cool place will minimize their self discharge
Not that important with ordinary alkaline batteries,
NiMH and NiCd batteries self discharge a lot faster



Putting batteries in the freezer or refrigerator doesn't necessarily prolong their life

Alkaline batteries stored at "room temperature" self discharge at a rate of less than two percent per year. So normally refrigerating or freezing them will only help maintain their charge by a tiny amount. Hardly worth the effort of chilling them. However, if alkaline batteries are stored at higher temperatures they will start to lose capacity much quicker. At 85 degrees F they only lose about 5% per year, but at 100 degrees they lose 25% per year. So if you live in a very hot climate or are storing your batteries in a very hot location, it may be worthwhile for you to store your alkaline batteries in a refrigerator instead.

NiMH and NiCd batteries self discharge at a MUCH faster rate than alkaline batteries. In fact, at "room temperature" (about 70 degrees F) NiMH and NiCD batteries will self discharge a few percent PER DAY. Storing them at lower temperatures will slow their self discharge rate dramatically. NiMH batteries stored at freezing will retain over 90% of their charge for full month. So it might make sense to store them in a freezer. If you do, it's best to bring them back to room temperature before using them. Even if you don't freeze your NiMH batteries after charging them, you should store them in a cool place to minimize their self discharge.

RE: The Wish List...What's On Yours?

Obviously not...
But reading up on these Ural bikes, they seem to be highly unreliable.
That's probably why I like them so much or maybe it's their nearly unchanged 1930's design that appeals to me.
Thanks for the business idea, always welcome...laugh
But in this case it would be a one way trip.
Great fun on the way down into town but it would be my death trying to push that thing back up the hill to get back home.
If I would be living in the Low Countries then I could see me using it.

oh, tamales, I had to look it up. Not sure how the Irish market would be...
Maybe if I wrap it in rushes it might appeal more to the locals giggle

shush, is't going to be a master piece...nerd writing giggle

RE: A man issue

Can you give your definition of 'feminist' ?

RE: The Wish List...What's On Yours?

Living, in relative terms, out in the sticks; a reliable car would be nice.
Nothing fancy, reliable being the key word.
If there's money to burn, one of these I would not object to...
There are a few other things but that's not for here.

RE: What's inside your mind part 29

I do not know.
I barely know what I want let alone what the majority of men might want.

With regards of wanting younger women I think biology plays a large role here.
Men's need/want of spreading their seeds and younger woman in general being the more fertile receptacle of the aforementioned tadpoles.
On a relationship basis I think the higher possibility of being able of being domineering and controlling might be a deciding factor for some men,
based on some perception of having more life experience than the other and just being a bit of a ploncker.

On a personal level I aim for someone around my own age group.
I wouldn't know what I could have in common with a 18year old or a 28year old
But life is stranger than fiction.
Many moons ago I used to go out with a woman who was more than 10years older.
Not once did that age gap seem to be a problem, call it blissfully unaware.
Looking at a close family member, when she was 18 she started going out with a man in his early forties.
And it just looked right. The only one who had a bit of a hissy fit for a while was her father.(and that didn't last long)
If she would have come home with a 18-19 year old everyone would have looked and said what the hell is she doing with that baby faced kid.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that's what all men want, but it is how the cookie sometimes crumbles.
I'm sure many people like/want people around their own age group

RE: What Are You Reading

There are only a few writers who do have a possible input when their work turns into a film...
Saw a good film once, called Henry the 5th or something, it's not a bad book either.
But I don't think the original writer had much of an input.
Thinking of it, I think he's dead
Don't let it stop you from watching good films
Same as with the books, there are 3 and they follow the books well



I read it just as one big book which would be an impractical large lump of paper to carry around at once.
Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander is a superb bit of casting and great acting on her part.
But yes, do read the books first

I'm easy, any floozy who wants me and is mad enough to ask.
Saying that, I would be worried about her mental state

RE: Has ireland worst health service in europe

The second part of the link, Euro health consumer index

For patient rights and information, Ireland ranking is 30th out of 37 European countries
For accessibility (waiting times for treatment), Ireland ranking is 35th out of 37 European countries

I'm glad I'm not a pregnant person in Ireland since a pregnant person in Ireland has no right to informed consent and informed refusal.
Any other non pregnant person in Ireland is protected to make an informed decision.
A pregnant person has their rights removed.
If I have the choice I rather not be ill in Ireland and if I have the time I would move country first

RE: What Are You Reading

The films are pretty good as well, The Swedish one's. I wasn't that impressed with the one with whatsitsnamelittlejamesbondfella.

RE: Direct Phone Calls!

No worries, I think that how most people would have read it as well.
btw, cswelcome

RE: Direct Phone Calls!

Good luck with that if anyone would try and ring me.
Many calls don't make it because of bad reception and the one's that do, hmm, I seldom answer.
And that's then from people I do not dislike.
Unknown numbers have a near zero chance of getting answered and leaving a message is pretty pointless since I don't listen to them.
Standing in front of me and slapping me in the face will get you a quicker response than ringing me.
