First off not everyone’s cuppa..

Now we have that out of the way, here is a suggestion for April. The two races in Middle East are cancelled. Too many problems arranging alternatives.

Have two events for the F1 drivers. Somewhere like Silverstone. Identical race prepared cars. Select keys from a hat. In fact three races each event. Three completely different vehicles. Bit like the supporting saloon car races back in the good old days!

What do you think

Uptown Houston, $3.99 a gallon for both petrol and diesel. That's 75p a litre give or take

Even CN have picked up on just how tied to China th UK has become, arguing that the Chagos deal, the recent trade trips and trying to defend the Iranian regime only make sense of we're allies of China and by definition, anti American.

I bet they're bitching about that as well! 

Mind you if you drive a 10 ltr V12 pick up, it's gonna hurt!    Yee haa!

I passed an independent filling station earlier today.

Petrol - £141.9   Diesel - £166.9  25p difference! 

Goad

Incite

The system does guess the amount of filament left by how often it sees the tag, though sometimes you do need to get it to re-read the tag to update its display. So no, your eyes aren't deceiving you.

I think K2 plus and K2 Pro are similar print heads. Not sure about the base K2, specs imply max lower temps, so something must be different to that

A mate of mine, who is as tight as a ducks arse, got a K2 Plus, and we have shown you can peel off the RFID tags from a empty Creality reel and put on another without damage virtually 100% of the time, and reprogram.

They might not stick perfectly, but a bit of sellotape over them sorts that.

The second lot of RFID tags I got off eGay program up nicely and do seem to work. Also, I noticed on my CFS monitor that the one genuine RFID tagged reel I have on there looks like its showing half empty. Not sure if this is actually a thing or if my eyes are going....

Also, we were discussing what spares to have on hand....

Its defo worth you having some spare PTFE tube and a spare extruder cover.

Useful to know, thank you. On this point, do you happen to know if the K2 and K2 plus are the same unit (other than the enclosure size - obviously) with interchangeable parts? The reason I ask is that when I've looked online K2 plus parts seem more plentiful/easily available. Clearly aome things will be different, but the print heads for example look visually the same to me.

1.72 euros here for tractor fuel. Interestingly petrol only 1.62. 

BP 1.98 for diesel.

I went up to our none profit making co op for fertiliser today. Gone up nearly 10%

Now the good news! The US is going to escort tankers through the Straits of Hormuz . Good luck with that!

Where did you hear that?

Sky News . Lead story. Scott Bessent. First of course the coalition has to have knocked out all Irans missile capability. That is what is happening now apparently. I wonder if Iran has underwater drones? Maybe a cross between a torpedo and a sub.

Either way, I wouldn’t want to be on a loaded oil tanker.

On a separate note . Two factions have been very quiet. The Hooties and the Kurds

When the Iranians start sinking U.S. warships, the shit will really hit the fan !
Cant see this ending well , as the septics dont seem to have any idea of a plan, apart from knocking out the mullahs and their armed forces.

That's all the need to do.

Really ? And then what ?
Understandably, there doesnt seem to be an opposition waiting to take over running the show, so unless someone puts boots on the ground and an interim administration in place you either get chaos, or the regime rebuilds itself quickly and carries on.
The latter seems to be what is currently happening.

The new leader could well be the most dangerous yet, as he has lost his family in the last week or so, so nothing to lose and a lot of scores to settle.
