Eggcellent points.

1. The calculator is based around the denaturing temperatures of the yolk and white and solves the thermal diffusion equation for these. The physics answer is that a duck egg yolk is radically different and requires a whole new set of calculations, while the engineering answer ...

I feel this deserves an instructional YouTube video.

Team up with Gav.... Or keep it under wraps for my next university admission interview question?

I have calculated that a 63.5°C piece of toast will adequately melt 10g of butter in around 20 seconds.

HOWEVER.

The Malliard reaction (the chemical reaction that browns toasted food and makes it taste toasty) does not occur until food is in the 140-170°C range.

Therefore we have reached what ...

The key thing here and what I think you are missing out on is that the toast has to be hot in order to adequately melt the butter or butter-adjacent substance and let it soak into the lovely toasty toast.

Assuming the melting temperature of butter (Tm-Butter) to be about 32-35°C and your toast to ...

Now the inside of your car can match the inside of you.

How the hell do you get an MOT for an EV


(Even though I mentioned MOT in relation to the Evora) You go to the MOT station and ask for one. Almost all the shizzle they check for the MOT is applicable to EV’s too.


Mik is correct! I was worried I would have to take it to an EV specialist ...

Wandered past the house of local youtube cleb Graeme Parker (aka The Hoof GP). He had his Lambo Aventador, 911 GT2 and Lambo Urus parked outside. Oh and a Honda Jazz...

Annual trip to Galloway for the Wigtown Literary Festival.

Seen Gavin Esler, John Suchet, Nicola Sturgeon and a few other big names but also some great first time authors and a smattering of local flavour in events. I'm friends with the current creative director and it's great seeing the stuff he ...

If you close your eyes it's Noel Fielding as Richmond in the IT Crowd.
Is he "doing a bit" or is that just his voice?

Great choice! Hope you enjoy it.

I've decided to go down the two car route to save my missing the Petrol Fun Car. Watch this space...

Agreed. All the warmth of a Swedish young offenders institution.

Today I went across a zebra crossing and the car that stopped for me had the plate 'T80 URD'.

I looked up then laughed out loud, and the driver gave me a very dirty look.

This was on a hospital campus, so concievable that they work in gastroenterology.

And I guess you didn’t see the Coldplay concert!?

ETA: huh , I don’t see explosive_… as an @person


Huh. Not sure why.

I think the coldplay concert and the more recent case of the ?Polish exec who stole a ball from a boy are examples of the news story reaching such an enormous critical mass ...

You don't think not paying the correct tax on a house purchase isn't a resigning matter for the housing minister?


Honestly, no. I think there is wiggle room to suggest that this wasn't certainly done maliciously or deliberately but even outside that I don't think messing up your taxes should ...

Apparently the shooter is still at large.. what were all those good guys with guns doing!??


This was my first thought too

If all these open carry, 2nd amendment, assault rifle owning, MAGA loons can't protect one of their own, then it rather makes a mockery oh the whole "good guy with a gun ...

Imagine what governments could achieve if they werent fighting for their own jobs or fighting each other 😂

Agree - I find it very tedious when the news broadcasts are full of people clamouring for some political figure to resign. It's the most boringly easy call.
