    Coronavirus - the new strain XXIV

    That data is undefined. Admissions for what? Against a background of what? No parent with a child who wasn't very vulnerable would vaccinate them with the current covid options. This is my view, and it's the more informed official view. Not quite sure why you're throwing 'troll' around from the...

    Big State v Small State

    This doesn't make sense. Your 'small state' is the largest the state has ever been. A tiny state gave us the NHS, Welfare State and having it good. According to your analysis it seems the bigger the state gets the worse it performs, which isn't an obvious starting point to argue for making the...

    Coronavirus - the new strain XXIV

    What a peculiar thing to write. Quite barking. This study's cohort has rare infection and very rare reinfection. So I'm not sure it is relevant in general, where at least one infection would seem to be very common.

    They're everywhere. See Carolines Dinenage and Nokes just this last week.

    Croydon

    This murder has attracted a lot of attention, but something like 2 teenagers a month are murdered with knives in London. And we're not talking about pen knives with useful tools to remove stones from horses hooves. We can assume that the number of teens carrying weapons and prepared to use them...

    Labour Leader: Keir Starmer VII

    I believe he can make school fees subject to VAT regardless of charitable status. The problem of course is that he will put some schools out of business, which will increase pressure on state education, which will cost more than the money raised, which makes the whole thing an exercise in...

    The next one. Even if the active and passive Marxists are doing their damndest to screw everything that was good about civilisation.

    Significant sound differences between Quad ESL 57, 1973 and 1980.

    I realise I didn't distinguish the transformers.... The audio components are under the large transformer on the left looking from the rear. You used to be able to get sets of crossover parts from One Thing Audio, if they're still going the value was OK, compared to searching out high voltage...

    Why isn't buffering used in CD drives to eliminate jitter?

    All CDPs, for ever, have had buffering. Just not a very long ones. This is because of the way the data is encoded onto the disc and distributed around, so the error correction can cover a scratch without loss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_Digital_Audio#Data_encoding Fascinating...

    Significant sound differences between Quad ESL 57, 1973 and 1980.

    All the components in the base of the transformer are in the signal path, everything around the transformer isn't.

    When is a spring not a spring ? When it’s a polymer Insole

    LP12 springs are quite diverse in their free lengths, I think the rates are much more consistent. But it wouldn't be hard to make a jig where you push the spring to a datum with it all on a kitchen scale, zero the scale, and then push a further centimetre, where the jig defines that end point...

    Is the Metropolitan Police institutionally corrupt?

    And that's a whole other can of multi-dimensional worms.

    Significant sound differences between Quad ESL 57, 1973 and 1980.

    Sorry. Anyway original Quad panels are sprayed on the front (( think the rear remains clear, the spraying was done after assembly before fitting the front grille).

    20mph replaces 30mph limit in Wales from Sunday 17th September. Your views

    Imagine there were no speed limits, at all, and strict liability for collisions between motor vehicles and other road users. What would happen? IMO in the last 20 or 30 years the obsession with speed limits and speed enforcement has diluted the responsibility of drivers. In conjunction with the...
