    Anyone know anything about CO2 cylinders? (context: trying to refill sodastream canisters)

    My experience with various industrial gas cylinders, open the valve and gas comes out. You wont be able to recompress this gas into a liquid form in the sodastream cylinder and they are such a small volume they wont hold enough gas to be of much use so need liquid transfer through the syphon...

    End grain chopping board - best oil to use and where to buy?

    For people using "mineral oil" please make sure it is white mineral oil and should have absolutely no colour with the appearance of water. Conventional mineral oil is not considered safe for contact with food due to the relatively high aromatics content. White mineral oils have the aromatics...

    Ryzen build check

    I am finally biting the bullet and upgrading from an old core2quad build. What are everyones thoughts on the below basket? This will be going with an exisiting RX580GTS. Realistically i need a board with Wifi and would prefer to not have an absolute entry level option with the potential to put...

    Company travel time - what's reasonable?

    This is almost certainly a case of indirect discrimination. Having a limit on maximum hours accrued is in most cases a perfectly fair policy as they are generally accrued incrementally over weeks or months. Forcing people to take them regularly is a way to minimise large blocks of leave which...

    Can someone help me with a math (fraction) question?

    I cannot believe how long you have argued with Inogen for, sometimes its best not to argue with an idiot and give up. However you are both wrong. Taking the reasoning you gave dowie and that the notation 3/5 means 3 out of 5 goals and not 3/5th of an unknown number of goals, because as you...

    Ridiculously entitled baby-boomer complains that she can't sell her £1m home

    It would be difficult to police and could lead to people being in undue pressure to sell or purchase.

    Hepatitis B vaccine - global shortage? Sounds like someone's cashing in...

    This is a vaccine and not a drug. They are cultured from generically modified yeast cells and simply cannot be made by Joe Bloggs chemist working from their garage. Even out of patent it would be incredibly difficult to begin to manufacture as big Pharma are not going to hand over their...

    Berlin - What to do?

    The Berlin Wall Memorial in Bernauer Strasse is well worth a visit, spent a few hours in the visitors centre a truly staggering part of history. Would recommend it over the East Side Gallery, most of the artwork is in a sorry state these days.

    Sub £500 43-49" TV needed

    Picked up an LG 43UJ670V (£479) for my parents this week and they seem impressed. Had a play around on it and the smart interface is really nice to use. It has network connectivity but cannot comment on how well that works as they don't have anything to network with. With wall mounting in mind...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    I just got TV and sports discounted by 40% and upgrade to fibre with 50% off. After originally phoning to arrange a cheaper deal and being offered nothing i went ahead and cancelled, rang me back a week later with some offers. £70 with regular internet to £60 with fibre and new hub. Fairly happy...

    Railway sleeper level to grass or level to spirit level

    I would personally level them to the fence which should hopefully be levelled to a spirit level but may not be. Two hard edges that are not level will make one of them really stand out. Looking at the photos again your fence doesn't look stepped so i would imagine it is levelled with the ground.

    Plasterboard tape cracking/peeling - use decorator caulk instead?

    I always thought dry lining refers to where you paint directly over plasterboard after jointing the boards filling the screw holes and sanding. Where as plastering is a complete surface covering of a skim coat over plasterboard/bonding/browning. For a developer the former is much quicker...

    Replacing Radiators?

    In theory replacing a radiator is a simple enough task, but can be one of those jobs where a lot of small things can be overlooked and turn into a couple of runs out to buy things you didn't realise you needed to get the job done. Depending on the age of your radiators and the fact you are going...

    Plasterboard tape cracking/peeling - use decorator caulk instead?

    I would hazard a guess it is dry lined rather than skimmed. Quicker and cheaper to do.

    best savings account?

    On that sort of time scale with low risk there really arn't too many options. Your best bet would probably be something like a first direct regular saver account paying 5%, limited to £300 deposit per month and its tied up for a full 12 months else you lose the interest. An account each would...

    How would you make this? (Copper Pipe Crafty things)

    I would hazard a guess that they have used steel wire to thread through the lengths of copper tube. Twisting the wire together tight at the completion of each triangle should hold the three tubes into quite a rigid triangle. Choosing the right gauge of wire would be key to keeping a good level...
