I am surrounded by weird people with various colours of hair, genders, music taste and sexualities. Just how I like it.

I've just checked and it appears that radioactive sources aren't specifically prohibited at Download, either in the campsite or arena.

Please don't bring one. It's unlikely they have a specialised Furry on standby just in case.

If you do feel the need to bring a mild source just bring a banana.

@clacke The tobaccoless stuff does have nicotine. I've been using it for a while to cut down smoking since it became available in the UK where actual tobacco snus is illegal.

@jmorris 240V is not quite as dramatic as that. I've had a few shocks and it's not pleasant but it's not necessarily certain death in a lot of circumstances if you can break the connection between it and you.

@M0KHR Have you considered spending lots of money and failing at SHF too?

@M0KHR I have no idea. This is @g4dbn's territory.

The only thing I know about it is that it involves money. Lots of money.

@tony @Porcia @quixoticgeek Vacuum person here.

I in no way believe that hydrogen is the answer to energy demands, it's just a thing put up by the dying fossil fuels industry but we normally test for leaks with Helium. It's the smallest thing that's easy to detect for leaks. On paper, Hydrogen is smaller so could leak more but Hydrogen normally comes as H2 so the molecules are bigger than helium in its natural state.

And hydrogen embrittlement is definitely a thing. Hydrogen power is a scam

I'm shocked.

Superb!

@malwaretech I love our phishing tests. Of course there's a header to say it's a test so I just run a filter to syphon them into a different mailbox. Click "Report Phish" and get brownie points.

It does make me look at the ones that don't have that header more carefully.

I get told off for reporting real emails that actually look like a phishing attempt because apparently Corporate image bollocks is more important than security.

@jmorris I don't have the ESR meter but I do have some of their other stuff. 10/10 can recommend.

@jmorris The one from Peak comes highly regarded. Depends on your budget I suppose. https://www.peakelec.co.uk/acatalog/esr70-capacitor-esr-meter.html

@nuintari
I bet it wasn't specified to run at -3°C so while it's a fail for data handling for something that may be expected occasionally I couldn't really shout at them for it.
