It is also frustrating when different calculators have different orders of operations and dont tell you.

Can Wales join you guys? We just too polite to England what we think.

For me to keep it off was the challenge. I Started by working out how much I needed to eat for maintenance, through calculators and counting my calories for a couple of weeks.

Then I just brought a small deficit of a couple hundred cals, and increased exercise; making sure to go for a walk each day, started lifting weights at the gym.

Now im halfway to my weight goal. But it was all about setting the habits and keeping them going, turning down extra cake in the office or having a smaller lunch to balance everything out, now I dont have the same cravings I used to. Its been a slow year but I am happy with it.

Cheers mate 🙂 it is good setting up the healthy habits.

Long time reader, first time commenter.

Its going fairly well for me, had a nice chat with family the other day. Ive lost about half of the weight I want to (slow and steady in a healthy way). And I think the friendly banter with a friend is getting rather friendly so will see where that goes.

Glad to know I’m not the only one doing the stupid government mental health walk for my mental health that stupidity works 😂.

Your curtains/blinds can insulate the room but you get less light. Maybe also try some foil or radiator reflectors to bounce the heat away from the wall and into the room. Personally I get really comfortable under a fluffy blanket with a teapot next to me. But I like the cold over the heat.

There is a thing called Coppicing or National Trust Link where the stump shoots off and grows new trunks from there. Its not exactly the same and some trees are better suited for it than others.

Right here, will spend way to long writing a vba macro when i could have done it without quicker 😂

There are many nights of Civ 4 that I will not get bank, definitely worth it though.

The main one is the resin that is bring used, that will have a shelf life like paint or glue as the solvent will evaporate. The second one is fibre primers that are used to help the resin integrate with the Carbon Fibers can degrade and cause improper bonding between the fibres and layers. For fabrics this is normally over a year but for prepregs (where the resin already in the fibres but not set) is generally a year and will need testing for a longer shelf life.

Another issue is the storage you want a cool dry environment and covered to avoid contamination from other rolls/prepregs. Additionally the other thing that worries me is although salt water is not an issue to the fibres and resins themselves when you add metal to them the salt acts as an electrolyte and will cause galvanic corrosion “rusting” away the fasteners and causing damage to the fibres in that area.

Not to mention Carbon Fiber is best for coaxial (along the length of the tube) tension not hoop (around the tube) compressive forces. And differences in the layup and curing process can impact the viability of the final part which is why lots of places will weigh the resin and have a procedure to soak the fibres and lay them up as well as sensors to keep the pressure and temperature with a margin for curing, to keep the variability between the parts minimal.

No worries, thats the vibe i thought you were going for but wanted to clarify. I’ll try changing the TTF soon see how that goes, or just a reminder to check the formatting but that never works 😂

I have heard of it, but I seem to go through phases with using as It gets busy sometimes just personal preference. Thanks 🙂

Generally its not a problem just a reminder to change it before pdf, and it is ment as light hearted fun not malicious.

I have found its more through tips from colleges and shared trauma. In my experience its the intial change to nights thats hard once I’ve done 2 my body has started to adjust.

- either stay up late and go to sleep early morning to start transition 

- nap alot during the day and use caffeine to pull through 

Once on shift you need to keep active mentally and physically, being idle is the killer, make sure to take short breaks, keep hydrated, it is very easy to over snack but you need to keep eating.

The change back after isnt too bad imho you can gey some sleep straight away and but wake mid afternoon and can start to pull back to normal.

make sure you get paid for the rest day after when coming back to days you have worked that time you have taken the sacrifice and deserve to be compensated for it.

Are theres 12 or 8 hour nights? One is nicer.
