My anti-tailgater attachment

I have a metal box of short roofing nails behind my pickup's bumper that tips and dumps about 20 lbs of the nails on the roadway. It doesn't always stop the tailgater immediately, but is about 90% effective within 5 miles.

rain, freezing rain, snow, winter warning.............

The storm that passed over Calif. last night is on the fast track heading right towards you, you can thank Hawaii for it after it dumps on you. -- "Knowledge is a 3 edged Sword" Kosh on Babylon 5 www.starlords.org giving me

Manure on lawns

You can be proud of your contribution, but Milwaukee occasionally dumps their raw untreated sewage into Lake Michigan. I fish and boat out of Racine Wisconsin just south of Milwuakee, so I'm not happy with your donation. Sherwin D. Warren wrote:

Opensource slowing down? "GoogleDrive" private cloud

I believe the point was: what happens when the PSU melts and dumps mains to the output and blows your NAS to tiny weeny bits? I would hope the NAS had some serious crowbar protection on its incoming DC in.

Combi boiler pressure variation too great

AFAIK and IANAHE is there not an 'over' pressure valve that dumps any excess pressure? Again, could you check with WB to find out at what pressure that opens at?

Cable IDs

You get better looking clip on plastic numbers - but I've not seen them suitable for TW&E.

Gravity Fed hot and mains cold!

Not dangerous off the lighting circuit (assuming it had an earth if needed) as lighting circuits are protected at well below the current handling of the TW&E cable. Bad practice, probably.
