Wouldn't worry too much.  I foresee a major economic collapse before fossil fuels run out.  Possibly toward the end if not after my lifetime. Just look at the massive fires stripping the world currently, an progressively getting worse every year.  that's another subject though. An taking this...

The current problem with EV is the batteries.  Ever wondered why they are produced in god forsaken places on the planet? Oh wait, those places don't comply with our emmission laws.  So although our air is cleaner, the amount of emissions pumped out by these manufacturing/mining places is huge...

However, you can still return the item under warranty if it still fails the tests? Haven't looked over the RCD testing requirements from the 18th, what's the change?

Greenlee are the mutts nuts! They do have the price tag to match though!

Modern phones have more computing power than the rocket that put man on the moon. Hartmann and Braun control was what I started on, then moving to Siemens Step 5. As you know our kiln setups were German in design.

I think, I will have a copy of the code somewhere at home. Might dig it out just out of curiosity. 

I had to write a traffic light control program for a ZX80 for either my HND or degree, can't remember which now.  The amount of times I nearly pulled my hair out at it showing compiler error, an giving no diagnostic information on where the error was. Could've just been a comma instead...

Welcome along!

It's happened before. Remember the cull of regular long standing members a while ago.  I dont know the politics behind it, an I don't so much care.  He must see it as a way of protecting his investment, after all, more page clicks means more money. Hence I imagine the .net change and opening...

Machine drawings = yes, need to be kept up to date. electrical circuits to BS7671 = No, not legally. However, definitly a nice to have.
