Darn shame as mixed with mayo on a crispy baked potato, I’d say it was worth the risk!

Interesting to see ceramic beads used to insulate the flexible cables.

Tuna, being a predatory fish and top of the ocean food chain is said to contain the most mercury because of the accumulation up the chain - darn shame as mixed with mayo on a crispy baked potato, I’d say it was worth the risk!

anyone who puts donkey snot (mayo) on food, or eats fish, deserves all the ills that come with this so called healthy eating. there's no mercury in a rare sirloin steak and chips with fried onions and mushrooms, complimented, of course, with real ale.

toothpaste isnt meant to be ingested as fluoride calcifies bones and its like nuclear decay in reverse, it can only be added to.

doesnt stop us swishing it round our eating hole though

Please don't tell Tel that there is also something wrong with his real ale also, as I don't think he'll recover from the double blow.

[ElectriciansForums.net] How it used to be done!

Changed a faulty rheostat on a machine the other day, on a 1930's/40's intertype, containing a mercury switch. There are actually two of them, the larger one controlling a heating pot for the molten lead and the this faulty one for the 'mouth' to keep small feeder holes hot to the letter mags. I managed to get a used replacement from a printing trade engineer. Note the really flimsy hr cores..to allow mercury switch operation without interference.

when things were engineered, not just thrown together.

mercury can be safely broken down but doing so creates a nasty byproduct called mercury fulminate and the police dont take to kindly to people having that stuff.
im sure people can find out how But sorry Im not going to explain the process
