After reading this, I wondered the difference between natural birth and "Test tube" babies. (In comparison to cuttings to seedlings) Expecting to see a big difference.
Apparently it's only a 5-10% difference in gene differences, between natural birth and IVF treatment babies. Which is a large percentage... but not really.
Really off topic from your thread, and I apologise for that. But I found it interesting and hope others do to.
Also be interested if anyone in the know can chime in on this.

You make it sound like as soon as you pass your test, that's it. You stop learning. When in reality, when you pass your test and start driving alone is when you really begin learning to drive.
Also, I didn't say the minimum at all, Not a single mention of the word minimum. Your entire comment is a write off.

You probably helped him more than he (or you) realise.
This may have been the first time he's mentioned it at work, It's very hard to start healing if you bottle everything up and pretend nothings changed.
It also goes to show that you care. You asked about the dog you haven't seen in a while. You wouldn't have asked if you didn't care.
Don't feel bad.

The average time needed behind a wheel to pass successfully is 45hours.
I don't see how what OP is asking is dangerous at all. Please explain.

Reply to Can I fill small gaps in the window beading (not the window frame) with silicone sealant? by ni-ten-ichi-ryu
Just to let you know, a 5m length of UPVC quadrant will likely cost you less than £7. That being said, you'd need to re-silicone it anyway.
The current beading you have will likely continue to shrink, It will be so much easier for you to replace the beading now, than it will be if you silicone the corners. (and it would surely look nice with a white bead?)

Was on a large landscaping job years ago. We had the apprentice on the easy job, with the petrol blower just pushing stuff into one area for clean up. We caught him sitting down. Apparently we ran out of 2 stroke oil and he didn't want to damage the machine by using straight fuel, good kid. (Usually we had a few one shots or a bottle knocking about, or someone would run out to grab some, but we were on a time limit this time). So we pointed to the rake and he thought we were joking.

Well they are already very good at building shelters, Orangutans, Gorillas, Chimps and Bonobos are well known to build nests in trees, but they also make use of overhanging tree branches and brush for shelter, and have been seen making their own canopies out of brush and leaves. Yes. They know how to deflect rain from overhead.
Orangutans have been seen using large leaves as umbrellas.
What scares me, that people will see what they can do, and attempt (Or reattempt, i'm sure it's been tried before) to enslave them in some way.

Oh most certainly. Just by watching they learn, and have shown to teach the skills they have watched and learned to the younger generation.
I think the best 1 to pin point this isn't the use of tools/weapons. But the use of soap.

Definitely doesn't seem the bar of soap will help with their foul language though.

>Orangutans and chimps use spears. >Orangutans use spears to hunt fish.
They do, Very poorly and with little success.
>Chimps wage wars against eachother. Full on wars, with designated battlegrounds.
Now this is interesting, When a group gets too large they split and often go to war with each other. Quite often they don't come to blows though, The key is how far they move from each other.
Imagine 5 years later, The new young adults come across another society they don't know. Well, now they go back to the group and make it known there are enemies nearby. Did the other group attack? They didn't need to, the fear of the unknown is enough. The elder chimps don't get a say due to the noise levels, and even if the elder chimps did try to put a stop to it, they would then be challenged as leaders, killed and overthrown, or shunned to an elderly life of solitude.
It really is interesting.

To be fair, this sort of broom finding dangerous pressurised steam technology will likely still be useful in the 2060s.
If it works, it works.

Reply to Help Request - Gutter Repair by GeneralInspector8962
Easy mode fix for you if it is pooling in that corner.
You can buy a "gutter spigot" (that only works on flat bottomed gutter, like your ogee or square styles.) - Or that's what i've always called them, You simply hole saw a 54mm hole in the flat of your gutter, pop the thing through, screw it down and attach a down pipe.
Link to english site selling this. - https://www.trulypvc.com/roofing/rainwater/unions-outlets/hunter-uni-fit-r400-gutter-outlet
I'm sure you can get them in every country. not sure if it will be called the same thing.
As someone else said, clean out the gutters and reseal the joins first and foremost, but this won't solve the pooling issue.

Reply to [help] Oven door screw hole is stripped and screw wont go in, what is an easy fix? by BlueMANAHat
Looks like your screwing into plastic, a larger screw might split that.
I know you say it's the oven door, but from the photo I can't tell.
Does this screw bare load or just hold the 2 pieces together? How hot does this area get? is it inside the oven when closed?

When you look up Dubai lamps you will realise the LED's available around the world are a scam. The problem is that bulb manufacturers need people to buy bulbs again. With truly efficient LED's this doesn't happen.
There is a reason tool brands like Makita aren't as good as they used to be. Having an item last a lifetime isn't as profitable.

Doesn't look like there's even a window in that room. Can't see any sort of extraction either. And by building a wet room, all that moisture is either going up or down, following the lovely curvature of the ceiling.
Have some cold showers until you get your extraction sorted.

Reply to comment by Apotropaic_Sphinx in How to prevent gear moving on bar? by stehilton94
Carbide is great against hardened steel. SDS Masonry bits are amazing at it (Obviously, you don't want any impacts or hammer action, and also you'll struggle to find an SDS carbide bit small enough... Plus you will almost certainly want to use this on a pillar drill (which isn't really an issue with a chuck adapter or something that's atleast more precise than your hands.) The dewalt cobalt standard twist drills are another good option.
As you say, depending on what this gear is moving, Epoxy would probably work a treat.
