They told me at school that ‘p’ meant ‘negative log’. So ‘pH’ means ‘the negative log of the concentration of Hydrogen ions in moles/litre’.

pH 1 is 1 x 10^-1^ (strong acid)

pH 7 is 1 x 10^-7^ (neutral)

pH 14 is 1 x 10^-14^ (alkaline)

(Chemistry was a long time ago, though)

I was going to change the machine heads on a cheap, ancient guitar but ended up taking them apart, cleaning and putting a little fresh grease on. Pretty quick job.

Nice!

I have an Ibanez acoustic from the late 1980s. It doesn’t look as smart as yours but sounds good, keeps tune and is comfortable.

Yeah…it’s worth checking that your face is centralised.

Last week my wife ran a video call at work with the camera on her cleavage.

I have used OpenOffice on Macs.

Also there are some free Apple apps that aren’t installed by default. (GarageBand and one for making gifs)

That sounds right. I think I remember paying for iWork back then too.

I can’t remember the make but I went to wedding at a vineyard in Surrey…their wine tasted pretty good to me. Also good British wine around the Welsh marches (3 Choirs?).

My Spanish friends don’t believe British wine exists.

Oh, same problem as flammable and inflammable.

Thankyou! I can not stand it either.

Yes, that’s what it looks like.

I don’t think they look similar to anything so probably fine to eat. Always a good idea to take a spore print to help with ID, tho’.

I used to keep chickens, too. They had free range of my garden so used to spread their crap all over the place—it never got too concentrated. But I can imagine that it would smell otherwise.

I’d read that pee scares foxes off. Not sure how good the evidence is, but it seems plausible. I used to tip some pee near their coop. After a while I stopped and they got attacked. Just an anecdote, but I thought I should share it!
