Re-salvaged a battery-powered floor sweeper. Originally, 1999, it had a Ni-Cd battery pack (4 x sub-C cells) which eventually failed to hold enough charge. This was about 9 years ago, so I replaced the batteries with 1.8 mAh sub-C NiMh cells. These lasted OK until recently, 12 hours ago I rebuilt the battery pack with four 2.3 mAh NiMh cells. The original Ni-Cd charger still works as it's only a trickle-charger.
Briefly visited Twitter, then panicked & ran away, but not before observing this from a friend who is a sensible & sober type: "People need to calm down. The corporations that tell the politicians what to do are still in control. Nothing much will change."
A fellow at the Men's Shed brought in a device his son in England had sent to him. He wanted to see if we could work out what it was. In jest I said it was for pressing hard-bolied eggs so they'd become cubes & easier to slice. Turns out I was right, he even had a cubed egg with him.
There was a young lass from Norway, who hung naked by her toes from a door-way. She called to her beau, "Hey look at this Joe! I think I've found one more way!"
@matigo I thought putting 'x' at the end of 'gateau' pluralised the word. So the 's' is excessive.
When I was a kid people used to cover me in chocolate and cream and put a cherry on my head. Yeah, life was tough in the gateau.
Thought I fixed the dodgy switch on a battery-powered LED bed lamp, but the fix didn't take. I've just finished installing a replacement switch, it's held in place by the remnants of the old switch.
@hazardwarning Just seeing "different than" sets my teeth on edge. Hearing it gets me ranting or muttering under my breath.
Says the person who can't resist saying "Who?" whenever the World Health Organisation is mentioned.
