Having recently done a timer replacement on a Dualit, I think that might literally be a Dualit timer module. Looks identical in the packing box photo. It wouldn’t surprise me if the heating elements were the same as well (haven’t checked) t

He would definitely would - though I’d imagine that most his travel would be done on a diplomatic basis - so it’s possible the Vienna conventions might apply and preclude detention. (not really sure, I’m not a lawyer).

I suspect rz2k means that when the plant was operating, they couldn’t even see the towers because of the smoke/smog. Now that it is closed, and there is no smoke - they can see not just the towers, they now see a long way behind them a

In Australia, after you change your licence address, they mail you a small sticker with the updated addres, that is then stuck onto the back of your licence. There's a small section marked on the back that is specifically for it. I gue

I'm not sure if the video covers it, but I do recall reading that in Madagascar, they mark the beans with pinprick initials so that it's easier to identify if they've been stolen. https://www.vanillabeankings.com&#

Although I don't have a wireless groupset on my bicycle, I'm attracted to the idea of dual batteries (like in the SRAM system) - at least that way if you forget to charge a battery - you can swap them between front and rear so you

I find the idea quite interesting - and it could be valuable just for the read-only aspect of it alone - especially if it is queryable through an ODBC or JDBC connection. It helps avoid some scripting / token / API overhead - but
