A Lovely 10C Site!

@thrrgilag 115 incidents of the same post, seems to keep posting it every 60 seconds.

@matigo And yet there is this:

Which contains a link to your chart.

It took three attempts but now Blurbybot is sending 10C notifications via Telegram. Many thanks to both @matigo & @thrrgilag.

@matigo very few people use that number, most contact is via the iPhone

@matigo Useless cocksocks assured me a month ago that it was impossible to restore the old number.

So, on a whim, I thought I'd check my home phone number, the one that got changed to a totally different one when my ADSL was replaced with FTTN. And what do you know? The bastards have changed it back to the old number & I have to reprogram my mother's phones & update her handwritten address book. Relevant online services have been rectified.

Much back & knee pain today. What'd be really novel would be for me to get more than 3 hours of sleep tonight.

@matigo Absolutely no idea. I believe it has a much higher butterfat content than cow's milk. Proper mozarella is made from buffalo milk.

Searching for a cooking oil with a high smoke point, I settled on good old-fashioned ghee, sourced from India. It's made with cream from a 50:50 mix of cows milk & buffalo milk. Haven't gotten it to smoke, it needs a temperature above 250°C for that, so it's ideal for those occasional frying jobs I do.

Doing a job at the Men's Shed today that really needed two electric stapling guns but we only had one. Then the Treasurer turned up, fresh from a visit to a tool manufacturer. He had another identical staple gun which was a refurbished unit that someone else had bought then returned for a refund because it was unsuitable.
The manufacturer can't sell that on as a new machine, so it's sent off & tested then donated to a deserving community group such as a Men's Shed. The manufacturer gets certain tax credits in this process.
So it's win, win, win. First a customer needs a tool for a once-off job, so he buys one, then returns for a full refund it after the job is finished, claiming the unit is somehow "faulty."
Then a Men's Shed get a few free virtually new power tools. And finally, the manufacturer gets a tax credit for offloading the item(s) to a Men's Shed.
