The 747 used to be the largest aircraft in the skies but the plane makers are Boeing out as the a380 is now the largest aircraft. The plane cost £280m, carries 520 passengers, 1600 pieces of luggage and 320,000 litres of fuel. The a380 is a two storey, 369 ton aircraft It carries 200 tons of passengers fuel and cargo. It weighs 560 tons all up.

And you might remember that it was in 1903 that Frank Whittle was the pioneer of the turbo jet.

And, of course, the a380 flies all over the world and Heathrow is one of the many airports the a380 leaves from.

Heathrow is the largest single-site employer in the UK. More than 76,000┬ápeople work at the airport┬á ÔÇô and many more nearby. In total, Heathrow supports 114,000 local jobs and has┬á160 shops 59 restaurants. Makes our little airport look tiny.

The new generator is 2.8HP, 1.1kva so it says.
Now I have a fridge/freezer 152w defrost it says, and 0.63a.
Means nothing to me.

And an old Kelvinator freezer, ancient.

Google tells me I can't run either off it, too much load. But, would I damage it? Or would it just not work? Or pop the breaker or something? There was scary info about damaging motor and/or alternator etc on the net.
And a lady with a similar one said she killed hers by trying to run kettle/toaster.

Well I get that, they're too much watts...2000 for instance.

But the fridge or freezer? I understand they have more load on starting than running.

Someone else said they ran 2 old freezers off their same size as mine one without issue.

So I don't know what to think now.
Just don't want to blow it up on it's first use.

Hi, wanting to sand back our deck, that has multiple layers of stain on it, back to the wood and start again with fresh stain as it is very uneven coloured now. But not sure what type of sander i would use. Should I buy a belt sander? Or would I be better off to hire a large floor sander? Thanks in advance.

Albeit inadvertently.

Apparently according to the McBishop, the cyclone is all the fault of the wicked people of Gisborne because he has discovered (in the interests of 'research' you understand)  that the people in Gisborne & Hastings have the highest number of porn watchers in NZ & biggest average per capita in the world.

So, clearly this natural disaster is entirely down to the porn watchers. And of course, any woman who has an abortion - & of course, those gays, can't leave them out.

Such complete & utter ignorance, exhibited so very widely & willingly is hilarious & may well provide those who've come through the cyclone & flooding with their first laugh in quite a while - so thank you, Brian Tamaki!

I do colour prnting on a Canon Pixma MG8250. The main black (it has two black cartridges) has run out and of course the Canon brand ink is 5x the price of the cheap non-brand stuff. The printer is old enough that I'm not the least bit concerned about warranty, but, if I buy the cheap cartridge...

Will it clog up the print head?
Will the printer recognise it as being non-Canon and stop working?
Will the colour accuracy be OK?

Until now I have always used Canon brand ink but do so little colour printing that I've been using up cartridges I bought years ago and this is the first time I've had to buy any for a long time.

(I use a Brother laser for day-to-day black and white).

Thanks

I have recently changed my printer from Epson to a Brother DCP-J1050DW.  I have a nearly full packet of EPSON Premium Glossy Photo Paper.  I have tried it in the Brother machine.  It gives the paper options of: Plain paper, Inkjet paper, Brother Glossy photo paper (BP71 GP), Matte photo paper (BP60 matte), Other photo paper.  I have tried telling the machine that I am using BP71 GP, and Other photo paper in separate tries.  Neither produces even vaguely useful prints.  Is there any option than
buying new paper?

Anyone got their paper yet?
They are doing it different this time round I see, no collectors to deliver the forms, no surprises really as they had online as an option for at least the last 2 census' that were done.
My question is how much the uptake will be this time round? You can still do it on paper if you wish, but have to call and request a form.
I'm hearing from some who haven't even received the letter with the access code yet.
I guess the cyclone wont help things either, I believe they are still exploring options for the regions affected, it got cancelled in 2011 with the earthquakes, only the second time this has ever happened.

Just checked my other machine running Win11  that, the 'Real-time protection' is OFF and I can't turn it back ON.

It says that:  'You're using other antivirus providers'   

I have NO other antivirus program installed!  

Good morning.

I am trying to copy some files to one of the folders: D:\Temp.   But Windows says Access denied and that I need Administrator permission.

This drive / folder has been with me for many years as my main 'storage'.  It has been with me since Win7 days. 

How do I tell Windows 11 that this is my own drive/folder and I need to copy some files to it? 

* I have no problem in reading all my stored files.

Cheers
