Thread: The Mitutoyo caliper for sale ad. |

EtA: I see I'm out of touch with the current spec. of Mitutoyo digital calipers; it appears that there are now quite a few models that only read in metric. Why would Mitutoyo do that? Won't that deter American buyers and quite a few old world buyers too? I do mostly use metric, but I'd still want my caliper to be able to read in imperial as well.
Pretty easy I would think to make the dual-reading version read only metric or imperial and hide the button. Or have two versions of the cover - at the volumes they produce it's probably no extra cost. There are probably locations/industries that use only metric and find the button more of a nuisance than anything. Ditto in reverse for the US. |

What a concept: BSOD and you have to buy a new device. And the bricking occurs while having an update forced on you at that! Gotta hand it to Google! Edited By Peter Greene 🇨🇦 on 26/10/2022 19:22:25 |
Thread: Accessories for NHS Hearing Aids? |

One thing to be at least aware of with bluetooth transmitters connected to TVs or even direct bluetooth TV output: If other family members are using the TV's regular speaker output, it is possible that the bluetooth output might be slightly phase-shifted from that which can give an annoying echo effect. I've never tried bluetooth with the TV but I do use rf-headphones (with and without the hearing aid) and I do get a very slight phase displacement with my current TV. (One of the audio outputs on my previous TV was really 'orrible in this respect). Just something to consider.

Hmm ... that doesn't seem to relate to chemotherapy to me pp. Specifically it says this: "Medications selected for this study and defined as “ototoxic medications” here were those that have been identified as ototoxic in the literature reviewed (1,9). These included loop diuretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents, quinine, and acetaminophen. Concomitant ototoxic medications were considered if a participant was taking more than one ototoxic medication. " |

As an aside, forum members may not have seen an article (can't remember where I read it) recently that has linked common chemotherepy medication for certain types of cancer to hearing loss. I'd be interested to hear which chemo medication is referred to. |

(For readers outside the UK, such appliances are 'free at the point of need'. )
Just curious (and perhaps a bit thick) ... what does that actually mean? It means the cost is paid for by taxpayers, not the individual using the service, though the individual may also be a taxpayer, in which case he or she will contribute to the cost indirectly, i.e. through tax payments and not at the point of need/use. It's the "point of need" in this context that I'm confused about (not the "free" |

We have one or two DPs around here who've open F&C shops. Still doesn't seem the same as I remember it. Although the best local shop in London that I can recall was run by a Greek. |

That's odd. I tried to edit that - just to add a quip - and when I did so, the "< >" and everything within them disappeared. |

Bill, can I suggest that you search the site for this topic. It's been done in detail several times. |

If you only go by the date a thread was started you would also miss out on what was posted in many of the long running threads on the forum.
Including the thread creation time-date, apart from being logical, allows the user to be fully informed and decide for himself (what a concept). |

Still reluctant to name the business
Why? Trust and consideration work both ways. Or is there some other reason. |

Maybe an old computer running XP (restored from a new install) using a disposable email address and connecting via a VPN. Would that be worth it for a free meal? |

It's worth having a look into the shop next door every so often in case they have discovered something useful that we could use.
Could be.
P.S.: are inter-thread quotes possible here?
Like this you mean? |

MAD has always been the ultimate deterant, but that sadly does not take madmen into account.
Doesn't have to be madmen: the maxim "with power comes great responsibility" is proven daily to be untrue. |

How do they get the figs into the fig rolls ???
How did they get the tube-trains down the escalators? (they took them down in pieces and reassembled them). |

Didn't stop Bernie Ecclestone at 80 something.
Didn't stop them going after him at 90 for tax fraud either |
