  1. Makes you wonder how 4.1 million solar masses could be concentrated within a radius equivalent to the orbit of Uranus, in the region Sagittarius A, of our galaxy. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermassive_black_hole "The star S2 follows an elliptical orbit with a period of 15.2 years and a pericenter (closest distance) of 17 light-hours (1.8×1013 m or 120 AU) from the center of the central object. From the motion of star S2, the object's mass can be estimated as 4.1 million M☉,[73][74] or about 8.2×1036 kg. The radius of the central object must be less than 17 light-hours, because otherwise S2 would collide with it. Observations of the star S14[75] indicate that the radius is no more than 6.25 light-hours, about the diameter of Uranus' orbit. No known astronomical object other than a black hole can contain 4.1 million M☉ in this volume of space." Or how they could possibly take a picture of one https://www.space.com/first-black-hole-photo-by-event-horizon-telescope.html I need a Dimreepr to Human dictionary.

  2. A further thought, he should consider adding an electric car charging point. That would add to the value of the property and he may be able to get a grant for it (about £500 I believe). That would definitely have to come off the main dist board as it is nearly equivalent to two ring mains by itself.

  3. Sorry not directly no. You can have more than one spur off a ring main but only to one outlet (remember that can be a double) You cannot extend the spur to another socket. But there are some ways round this as in the hasty attachment.

  4. How nice it is to have a pleasant converstaion with someone. Yes I am too old and lazy to learn LaTex or MathML properly so I use a commercial program called MathType. Here is a screenshot of me setting out a 3 x 3 array MathType give the option of copy/pasting in various versions of LaTex or other markup languages such as MathML. I use the MathML output on SF. Unfortunately MathML is quite expensive. So here are some sites which offer free online Tex you can copy/[paste from http://www.sciweavers.org/free-online-latex-equation-editor https://latex.codecogs.com/eqneditor/editor.php The only forum I have come across which offered direct LaTex in the editor was AllaboutCircuits dot com, when one of the administrators here at SF was administrator there. It was a bit 1990s clumsy but could be made to work. So come on @Dave and introduce it here. Final thing, Due to a glitch in SF software preview doesn't render Tex properly, you also have to refresh your page when viewing Tex initially. Hope this all helps.

  5. Americans are not only unilingual, they can't even pronounce names that aren't "American". Easier to say "AOC".

  6. That doesn't make it ideal though, but rather a case of dealing with an existing structure in the best way available in that particular scenario. It doesn't negate the validity of the soundness of the principle he presented.

  7. It's a bit confusing because it's not a valid sentence with all of those question marks, but if they're changed to commas, one solution is Is this the easier solution? Oh I see, just by trying some things out:
