Calorimeter, viskomat, climate cabinet, Instron universal testing machine, geological microscope, XRF (these are mine), plus a whole bunch of other stuff for making cubes. Our cube crusher is from the 70s though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also has CO2 if you're looking to cure stuff in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 3 hours ago, Melanius Mullarkay said: Waiting on some highly specialised very very important equipment coming at work. Was ordered in March and its supposed to be here early May. Still not here. Contacted the "go between c**t" and hes informed me that they orders will be here week 26-27 or week 30. Just give me a delivery date you chuntering twat. That’s sub-optimal, and sounds like they’ve adopted the auto industry approach. The last two-three years, when you order an item for a lot of vehicles, it can often be on back-order. The little ploy they’ve started doing is giving you a date 4-6 weeks out as the expected production/arrival date…then, when that arrives and the part doesn’t, “oh, sorry, production delay, it’s now due (insert new date 4 weeks out)”. Since 30th week would be the end of July… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocketman Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 someone asks "are New Balance/Asics/Hoka/etc any good?" how much you willing to spend/what type of shoe you looking for/is the shoe for running, walking, sky-diving etc etc? might as well ask are shoes comfy........ If on social media it is obviously just for likes/comments, with the usual dullards responding suggesting trainer x he just bought for £25 are the comfiest things he has ever worn..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
