Just wondering if it also says 'suitable for inclusion in Chinese and Indian recipes' on the tin? You must have noticed those spongy bits that sit there in the mix.

When I do imports and exports, I always included a batch number to separate one from the other. An export to be imported to another system would have the batch number as their reference, or a part of the reference. So easy to see which import. If an import was to an accounts system and imported...

The same size of beam has to be larger in titanium. As an everyday reference I referred to a cycle frame which are often made in titanium but as I explained the tube section sizes has to be larger than a steel frame. You cannot have a frame in titanium with the same tube sizes as steel. Just as...

Sigh Any beam steel or titanium has s specific strength dependent on section size. A 20" beam will be stronger than a 10" beam. To obtain the strength of a 20" beam in titanium will mean that it must have the same properties. It But it may well be, that a titanium beam has a smaller section size...

I generally use a 27" screen at 1920x1080 for development. I will often create some screens to totally fill that screen in order to show as much detail as I can. When I then create the ACCDE and test, it is fine . However, if that ACCDE is transferred to a laptop with a 15" screen and the same...

In much the same way that for decades investigations into climate change will only receive money if the analysis has the sole intention of promoting climate change. Any academic who is in any way sceptical is viewed as an alarmist and will not receive funding. So no income. It is simply a...

@BlueSpruce, I'm sorry in my opinion but you are wrong. A floor in any building is designed to carry its own load as well as the estimated maximum load to be placed upon the floor. Any individual floor is not designed to carry the weight of two, or more loaded floors. Many buildings, those...

I suggest that you replace the macro solution with VBA. Code is (virtually) always preferred to macros. Maybe take a look at IslaDogs' Progress Bar which I would say is a sound and a preferrable solution to a macro. https://isladogs.co.uk/progress-bar/index.html

Once mild steel reaches a cherry heat it will begin to be easier to work. Most forging can happen at between 1000ºc and 1200ºc, with melting occurring around 1400ºc. According to Isaac Newton, force increases by the square of the speed. So faster = more force. Strength of materials works in the...

It has happened again, the Access World unexpected digression. So I'll reiterate: "Have to say I wasn't aware of this issue. My PCs are the mini box type which are 120mm square with an SSD fitted. Regarding the HDDs mentioned from what I can see they appear to get their power from the USB...

You can't be too thin, you can't be too rich and you can't have too many backups. Been one of my mottos for years. Pity having all three isn't so easy though. I used to see advice on how to destroy your old hard drive and never could see why it wasn't just easier to keep it.

Have to say I wasn't aware of this issue. My PCs are the mini box type which are 120mm square with an SSD fitted. Regarding the HDDs mentioned from what I can see they appear to get their power from the USB. Is that right? All of the HDDs I've used have had a 4pin male power recessed plug. I...

The views and understanding of the Royal Family in the USA is certainly at odds with opinion in Britain. The way it is seen in England is that Harry, along with all Royals are/were treated very well and living the life of a man of means. The Royals lack for nothing and live cosseted and...

At home. As a structural engineer I was surprised how they could collapse into themselves so quickly. Later I understood it was to do with the desire for the fastest lifts/elevators that left them vulnerable. Mind you, I don't believe that any building could withstand that level of force.

I've thought for maybe ten years, nothing is private anymore.
