Saw this for £65 off at my local Argos, so I jumped on it

Guess I'll be getting the current series of minifigs too, as they're all D&D classes


I was actually in there for a new tyre compressor

 

I have the same compressor. It's bloody amazing and something everyone should have in their car. Hell, it's small enough that it should be in every motorcyclist's backpack too.

 

Yeah, I have been meaning to pick one up for ages now. I have a bicycle track pump in the boot of my car instead but that is bloody hard work

 

They are a damn sight better, than what passes for a foot pump these days.

 

Hell yeah. One of our neighbours has a dodgy tyre and I often see him out with his foot pump sweating away for ages

 

Screw on is the jankiest connector, so get https://www.amazon.co.uk/URAQT-Acce...=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1 or https://www.amazon.co.uk/cobee-Infl...=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1 and never have to deal with them again

 

The one I posted has auto-stop at the preset pressure, and 4 memories to store it in, so you can have it remember both front & rear unloaded & loaded settings for a couple of cars.
Think I'll add one of those widgets @mrlongbeard posted above to it.

 

Chaps and -esses - where does one buy cookware these days? I need a larger saucepan, wok and frying pan and Amazon seem to have a shockingly poor selection. Don't want to pay through the nose but I don't necessarily want to cheap out either.

I need a frying pan larger than 10" (but not one of those semi-hybrid wok things), a saucepan (not casserole pot) larger than 10 x 4.5" (but not too much), and a wok larger than 12 x 4". No idea where is good to search/what is of quality.

Fanks.

 

Last pan I got was a large frying pan from Asda, one of the Scoville Pro things. We've had that for around a year now and it seems pretty good. Still has the non-stick coating, which I am sure the wife is actively trying to destroy as there is only so many times you would need to be told to not use metal things in there. It has quite a heavy base so holds heat well, not the fastest to warm up though.

 

I know some people might sneer, but I find IKEA's cookware pretty good - wouldn't necessarily get their cheapest stuff but their 365+ range has always done the business for us.

 

Cheers both - nice one. I'm stranded at home at the moment so can only order in - might try that Scoville then?

Appreciated

EDIT: Looks like Amazon do Scoville Expert Neverstick so that's handy.

 

Downloading all the totally legit Linux distros David?

 

Are those 8TB SSDs?!

 

Yeah, 7.6TB ex-enterprise drives.

1 - 21k hours, 11TB written and powered on 9 times
2 - 23k hours, 14TB written and powered on 10 times

Given the TBW rating is measured in Petabytes and the MTBF is measured in millions of hours, I thought it was worth a punt.

 

Jesus. That makes them almost three years old, but they've just sat there, switched on but probably hardly being used. Given I fill every drive I own rapidly, that's impressively low.

How much and where from? They'll probably last longer than us with those specs.

 

£235 each from CEX.



I happened upon his vid just minutes after he posted and they sold so fast. I wanted a couple more but they only confirmed two on the order.

 

They’d only let you buy up to 5 anyway. Discovered this when pricing up a large batch of SSDs from them.

 

Wowsers ....
