2. primer, quick dry;-spray/ brush.
3. topcoat spray/ roller.
4. fix on handles.; 15 June 2020 at 22:45
Mark Wadsworth said...: Sok, thanks, I know that now, having tried it the hard way with paint and brush.; 16 June 2020 at 08:29

Mark Wadsworth said...: L, we had somebody in a couple of years ago, he said "I'll get back to you with a quote" and was never heard from again.; 16 June 2020 at 14:15

Did you talk to him about LVT or climate change by any chance? (just projecting :)); 17 June 2020 at 16:21
Mark Wadsworth said...: B, nah, I chickened out.

It appears that the gravito-thermal effect is hotly disputed, despite being
a. blindingly obvious,
b. intuitive,
c. obeys all known laws of physics
d. is easily observable in any planet, moon or star with an atmosphere (Gas Giants are to some extent failed stars) and
e. has been shown experimentally in controlled conditions (and forms the basis of the vortex heat tube which clearly work).

I might have to back pedal on that one, greater minds than mine have been trying for over a century to get people to accept this effect and failed. The Alarmists filled the void in understanding with their GHG bullshit. If we'd gone with Loschmidt a century ago, Hansen and his little friends would be laughed at.; 17 June 2020 at 17:13

Bayard said...: Mark, that is because the gravito-thermal effect is science and science is boring, unless you are a geek. Much better to get mass appeal with "science" which relies on faith and lots of handwaving and ritual.; 17 June 2020 at 20:11
Mark Wadsworth said...: P, no thanks, we're nearly done, see this evening's post.

B, it wasn't the Alarmists who rubbished the explanation, it was proper physicists like Maxwell in the 19th C who insisted that temperature and pressure in the atmosphere would eventually level out, like temp and pressure of a gas in a closed cylinder. They decided that potential energy is not a proper kind of energy and can be ignored. Thus rubbishing the usual explanation about why nuclear fusion starts in large bodies of H, i.e. stars.
