"The initial observations also showed up a possible detection of dimethyl sulphide (DMS), a molecule associated with life on Earth. Most of the DMS in Earth's atmosphere comes from phytoplankton in marine environments. "

Blimey, there's a bizarre dystopia Philip K. DICK could find triggering, 10 to twenty times earth's atmospheric pressure of hydrogen that stop hot oceans evaporating because of runaway greenhouse gas effect

I wouldn't like to bump into any of that planet's inhabitants in a dark alley, if they exist. If Philip K. DICK finds that triggering, it's a reaction to a perceived metaphor and I recommend regularly pounding a punchbag as a remedy... although of course he'd attempt blasting it out using more psychedelics.

This has more thrust than your starship and Bezos' penis combined:


54042

54043



Grabbed it when price reduced a tenner, arrived just now:




It's solved a problem which has plagued my Canon 650D DLSR for over a year: SD card not recognised. Tried isopropyl in case it was corrosion. Removed all moisture using silica beads - stored the camera in airtight bag for 2 weeks. No joy. I was about to open the damn thing up, to see if any pins had bent or been damaged... when I noticed a small ball of fluff had worked it's way up from inside the slot, and up the SD card, while jamming the SD card in and dragging it out 20 times in a row (it used to only take a couple of tries about a year and a half ago, got progressively worse and stopped working completely). So gave it a blast with a photography air puffer, and the situation improved. For PCs, I usually attach a pipe to the exhaust of my Dyson DC04 vaccuum cleaer, but the mad strong force of that would explode the camera, hence the Airtec pictured. Bloody hell that thing blows hard, but not anywhere near as hard as the Dyson or Bezo's missus. All SD cards are now recognised, job done. :cool:

Loods of dead finger skin fragments have just been blasted out of my keyboard by the Airtech. Keyboard is quiet again. 30 second operation max, a bit like my coffee grinder to avoid burnout. Brushless motor, single speed. There was another I was considering with variable speed, but it's motor was brushed (2 spare carbon brushes supplied, fsck knows where I'd get replacements in a few years).

Is it a software error? Try exporting and reimporting profiles?

I've been blasting keyboards, MIDI stuff, mixers, instruments, pretty much everything. All lovely and clean... Sometimes needs a bit of help from a soft lens brush to shift dust holding on. I usually do the PC keyboards with the Dyson, but there's the risk of the keys being pulled right out.

Also knocked off some cobwebs, saves using the Dyson extension hose...

Is it a bit like being one of those model train enthusiasts? Not knocking it, I've met some who made them from scratch, including the engines. Others collect them as investments.

there more like expensive puzzles and some take years to come out like 1 per year so you miss one and you pay the late tax.

every single one i can sell for more than i paid but there is a lot of crap out there and buying from china means no sending it back either.


if you dont like it then dont buy it ;) i only paid 20 quid for that megatron gun from a cash converters boxed miss transformed in to a mangled wreck.


that has been on pre order for near 5 years now :rolleyes:
