How devastating is that.. Bloody hell. Never heard of anything like that before, cannot imagine what the bloke is going through. Was it a stray dog? Oddly (perhaps) being careful around dogs (especially stray ones) was always instilled in me by my mum growing up, I don't know why but that caution is one of those random things that have stuck with me in life.

So yeah; 400 meters is still a safe bet it seems. I've just thought now. If it was 500 meters at 0.30mm and 350 meters at 0.35mm then I'd have simply just needed to divide 150 between 5, which is 30 and then take away 30 as I went up a 0.1mm, which would pretty much leave me with this:- 0.31 - 470 0.32 - 440 0.33 - 410 0.34 - 380 Quite basic mathematics really(even if it's only an approximation) and I don't know why I even needed to ask @RandoEFC or yourself as I should really have worked that out myself.

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I didn't notice @Dr. Gonzo's post until now. Sorry to hear that mate and I know what you're going through(other than the not being able to get back over here, which must make it a lot worse) and it's one of the horrible parts of life. You will always remember the great times though mate when looking back in future years and his memory will live on for you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 You know when you say the wrong thing at just the wrong time.... The missus has woken up this morning with her eye watering and something is stuck just under her top eyelid that's causing the problem, we can't see what it is and she can't keep her eye open long enough without hurting her to see what it might be so she went back downstairs.. Just after she left I got flagged for summer deals on Screwfix and they are selling a Jetwash on a deal so I will probably pick one up later today, anyway I went back downstairs and she is bent over water pouring from her eye and I happen to mention the Jetwasher... she looked up at me with that look she gives me and said "bit extreme wouldn't you say, I am sure it will come out by itself in a while.." couldn't stop laughing at her 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted August 24, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) The Bird or Bunny Optical Illusion Could Have You Second-Guessing Your Eyesight The internet can't resist a mind-bending illusion. Some of the most popular ones to go viral feature content that can be interpreted two ways: The infamous dress ignited a web-wide controversy over whether it was black and blue or white and gold, and the "yanny or laurel" audio clip messed with people's ears instead of their eyes. The latest illusion the internet can't agree on is a video of someone petting a raven—or is it a rabbit? Watch the clip below and decide for yourself. Paige Davis, the curator of bird training at the World Bird Sanctuary, shared this video of a white-necked raven more than two years ago. A biological psychiatry researcher named Dan Quintana recently found the clip-on Imgur's Twitter account and tweeted it with the caption: "Rabbits love getting stroked on their nose." "By first directing the viewer's attention to the nose, I was trying to distract viewers from the ears/beak, one of the clear giveaways that this was a video of a raven," Quintana wrote in a blog post. With its head tilted back, it's easy to mistake the raven's beak for bunny ears and the top of its head for a nose. But a few details—like its translucent nictitating membrane that closes across the eye horizontally—indicate that it's really a bird. This video is a real-life version of one of the most famous illustrated illusions of all time. Like the raven vs. rabbit clip, this drawing, sketched by American psychologist Joseph Jastrow in 1899, depicts either a duck facing left or a bunny facing right. There is no "right" way to view this illusion: Jastrow drew it to see how fast viewers could switch from one perception to the other. Even though we know which animal the subject of this latest illusion really is, it still works with Jastrow's test: Watch the clip again and see if you can force your mind to go back and forth between seeing a bird and a rabbit. After that exercise, here are some more optical illusions to break your brain. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/offbeat/the-bird-or-bunny-optical-illusion-could-have-you-second-guessing-your-eyesight/ar-AAGfauw Edited August 24, 2019 by CaaC (John) Spacing correction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
