Off topic I know but my current read is 'A Bridge Too Far' by Cornelius Ryan - a brilliant account of the allied operation 'Market-Garden' in The Netherlands in September 1944. That and the gardening ...👍

Back to the frequency issue.

Ahh - I get it…sorta 🤣🤣🤣.
@wizzo227 it’s amazing that you want to build something renewable like that! Great 👏🏻 @meldrewreborn & @Mailman good tastes indeed!

I mowed the garden lawn today for first time this year. A bit late I know, but I've been laid up nearly 6 weeks with a strained groin muscle in my right leg and It has hampered my movements quite a bit - as well as seemingly affecting my eyesight!.

First day of the garden waste collection tomorrow so pressure to fill the bin today!. Glad for the bank holiday putting collection day one day later!

Again off topic - my first is pencilled in for Easter Day.

Back to Hertz😄

@Mailman

but off topic is more interesting!

@Han_EONNext Also other countries have different frequencies - like 60 Hz, so UK appliances with motors run at different speeds there.

I'll leave it at that!

And (off topic)

If you use a colour laser printer to print then if you look very closely in the white areas you may see a tiny tiny pattern of yellow dots so if you use your printer to print counterfeit notes or to threaten to murder someone then your printer can be forensically identified. This is true for my previous and current colour laser printer but I don't know if all devices do this.

@Actual 😲 note to self: do not print out notes!

@retrotecchie & @wizzo227 you guys speak a whole different language to me, I get lost in your tech speak! I do love that you are clearly passionate about it all, like @Han_EONNext said I kind of get it, thanks for the explaining it in crayon for the not so sciency/techie/engineery people (ME 😂) in the back 🖍

I'm absolutely loving this thread (even if my brain has slightly imploded from reading most of what I've read 😆)
