Temperature is not scalar

Messers Rankine, Kelvin and even Fahrenheit would beg to differ… Temperature is scalar, however it’s effects on living things is generally not mostly owing to chemistry.

The claim that a 40° C jump in Sub-Zero temperatures is tolerable, but wouldn’t be in the UK or whatever they’re saying in this article… That’s nonsense

Au contraire my dear fellow. For a human, the article is entirely correct. A rise of 40° C in a particularly cold place is indeed tolerable for a human. A similar rise in, say, the UK today would put the temperature at 52° C - hotter than Death Valley on a well above average day and considerably less tolerable.

Of course a single recorded rise in temperature isn’t a good indication of climate…

Yup. The curse of the ‘fair to middling’… Too well off for social benefits too poor to be able to ignore money…

Au contraire…

They want to lose them so that the Starmfurher has to do unpopular things to counter all the seeds of disaster already sown, so that in 5 years time the Tories will be back in for the foreseeable future. You read it here first.

They have us where they want us…

Hmmm… Quite happy to sit corrected here. If they are using TBMs then other than where the west of the tunnel is going to be I don’t see a problem.

Was definitely going to be c&c originally but that may have been many years ago (the whole tunnel the A303 past Stonehenge thing has been going for 30 years or more).

I haven’t kept up with the project since moving away a few years ago.

EDIT: Cut & Cover is no longer on the table. I am pretty certain it was back along.

Original response :-

I think (as an ex local) that a tunnel isn’t a bad idea per se. However the intention is to use cut and cover to construct it, which will be massively destructive - both to landscape and archaeology.

Perhaps a case could be made for reuse of the HS2 TBMs currently entombed near Euston station?

The A303 has always been a terrible road and there has never been anyone willing to commit to more than sticking plaster solutions at pinch points.

Now that is something I wouldn’t have thought about.

Will try it and see - anything is worth a go!

Tried that - no difference.

Tried setting com port and baud rate in Cura environment for USB Printing NG plug in. No joy (though monitor in Cura stops complaining the printer is offline, it won’t do things like pre-heat the head)

Real head scratcher.

Nope - that’s the one thing I didn’t do (because 3D maker worked with out it)

Thanks for the reminder though - I will try that in the morning.

Who do you think are buying the land… A more cynical man than I might think this, was the idea all along; confirming that hunch would take more research than I am willing to put in.

Oh noes! Final proof that D&D iz da demon worships! Burn da witchez - burn dem - buuuuurrrrnnn dems!!111!!

I am old enough to remember the first time around the d&d is devil worship bouy and had this existed back then there would have been burnings at the stake…

It would have been fun to use the Crowley reading for the book of many things, but that wouldn’t be much fun from a game play mechanic.
