  • That would only be because they are the only other large party. So for the majority of people/constituencies they are the best alternative if you want to vote to get the Tories out.

    All they are doing is comparing the voting at the last general election, polling and then using that two give an option for the best way to vote them out.

    Not sure what pro labour facts you think are on there




  • Cost. I think all of the 5th generation were top loaders. On the cd audio side nice stackable separates were tray or slot. Cheap stand-alones were top.

    6th was a split but then I think the perception of slot or tray loading being more prestigious moved everyone to slot/tray.

    Plus I think top loaders might have been less secure. I certainly remember a number of physical mods or swap techniques that defeated top loader security very easily.

    Same thing happened with videos as well. Started with manual top loaders and then moved to slot.

    Electrons do orbit like planets in the solar system however they’re also waves. Which is what gives the set radii they can orbit at and keeps it all stable. The orbits can and do change due to the emission or absorption of certain quanta of radiation.

    So saying like is fine. It’s not an exact description but more of a simile to help understanding. They do orbit like a solar system. Saying electrons orbit the same as a solar system would be incorrect. That’s when the maths doesn’t work and the electrons orbit would decay.








  • I have an ok machine and regularly use it.

    I know a guy who works in the industry supplying machines and another who is a commercial roster. Both say similar things.

    A good grinder and fresh beans are far more important. They both say the aeropress is an excellent way to brew and better than most cheaper espresso machines.

    My advice based on that would be. Keep using the aeropress but if you want an upgrade get a good burr grinder.

    That’s if your ultimate aim is making better coffee. If you just want to get better using a machine and have fun just pick one you like the look of and enjoy.

    The real answer is it depends how the diver is exerting force as he stands there and what force he has to overcome to jump forwards.

    If he’s using all his driving force through his legs just to stand there then when he jumps up he will go backwards.

    If he was casually standing there easily overcoming the push of the air already then he can jump into the pool just as normal.

    It’s the same as standing next to a swimming pool with different wind speeds. Small breeze = jump in ok. Hurricane = blown backwards.

    That’s assuming he wasn’t trying to jump off the back of the vehicle…





  • Yes but that might not matter. It may only be sticking because the fibers are wrapped tight around the plastic part and the screw creating a lock through that tension. Cut through all the fibers wrapping round the screw and plastic part half way across. So there are fibers running in the gap and out both sides. Then start pulling at them with pliers. Some should come out. They must be able to move within that join or it would have jammed up as soon as the fibers started to enter. Rather than wrapping them round and round and then stopping.

    Also unless you know exactly which plastic that ring is made from don’t try chemicals on it. As you’ve no idea of the damage it might do to it.
