    What is general anaesthetic like nowadays?

    I've had 4 General Anaesthetic operations in the last 9 months, each one i've been admitted to theater, then they fit the canula in your hand (or sometimes in your arm) and then they inject a small syringe of white stuff into the canula that knocks you out within 20 seconds, you just feel really...

    Knife sharpening woes

    I've been sharpening knives for years, I hand carve green wood using specialist tools for a summer hobby to make spoons and other bits and the tools need to be razor sharp all the time, I have stones, diamond stones, even a Tormek for major damage or changes to profile, but the most important...

    Circular saw gets stuck and stops easily

    Are you using a thin kerf blade ?, I switched to a 1.6mm one on my Bosch cordless and it rips through 32mm marine ply almost with ease, the thinner the blade the less battery you use for each cut too

    Online coffee beans retailer

    I used to run a coffee shop, so know a bit about coffee and beans ! If you want a small local roaster, that's an independent business, you probably wont find better than The Coffee Factory in Dorset. I completed 2 barista training courses with the owner many years ago now, first one was to...

    Is now the best time to sell your GPU?

    That's funny, I like the analogy ! :) She's calmed down and seen sense now anyway, It was the mining income from not selling the card, and the fact that I've managed to scalp £1100 profit from that dodgy Dogecoin in the last 5 weeks that's keeping her happy (spending some of the profits) :)

    Is now the best time to sell your GPU?

    I'm amazed the prices RTX3080FE's are selling for now, I paid £650 for mine a few months ago, and after seeing this thread, I must admit, I was tempted to sell as that's a lot of money !, but I actually bought this card to game on, and Flight Sim 2020, GTA5, Cyberpunk and the others that I play...

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    I haven't found the phone apps that good to be honest, you cant see enough information quickly enough to make decisions I don't think, I always use the web browser on my desktop pc, if you set it to ticker timeline it updates many times per second on both IG and Plus500, and when there's big...

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    Can anyone tell me if there's something wrong with scalping when trading ?, I've opened a Plus500 account and been told 'no scalping' so am keeping positions open longer than I would like to make sure it doesn't look like scalping, and still making a good profit on 80% of my trades, but was just...

    Hi I'm after a new monitor as my old Acer 1080p 27" touchscreen isn't even taxing my RTX3080 and I'm sure I can get much better out of my new graphics card with a decent monitor ? I play MS flight sim 2020, GTA5 and do office work on it and am just about to have a dabble with day trading. I...

    RTX 3090 FE stock

    I'm probably mixing it up with another card then, the alerts were frantic at about 8pm last night to be honest, it was a frantic few seconds, the discord alerts were about 30 seconds after the drop, I just happened to be on their page at the time that the buy button went green, I'd already...
