    Imperial or Metric?

    Realistically for scientific purposes we are going to stick with metric. I personally have no problem if people want not to display metric quantities and only display imperial quantities, but I think apart from a few they will lose custom as a result.

    Bye bye Boris?

    The Parliamentary Party is the MPs who take the Conservative Whip in Parliament. The House is all of the MPs. There could be a majority of The House who would vote in what is supposed to be a non-whipped vote to either suspend or even expel him from parliament. However, the majority of the...

    Bye bye Boris?

    Interestingly there may be a majority of the House inclined to remove Johnson, but not a majority of the parliamentary party in which case if he calls a General Election what happens? Unlikely to happen.

    Angel Investment Network

    Lots of good advice in this thread although normally to make contact with serious funds for investment will have some cost to it. @TheByre's suggestion is probably the most useful. Tell us what the deal is you are offering and for what and we can indicate our views.

    The beginning of the end?

    Johnson's basic problem is judgment. He cannot really work out what policies are likely to work or not. Hence he is not really that bothered about policy. He wants to remain in office. The difficulty is that a lot of the policies he decides on are actually not that good anyway. At the same...

    Do you do anything to build your personal brand?

    I think there is a distinction between a personal brand and promoting a business (service or goods). For success at business needs to promote what it sells. Having a personal brand is more important in electoral politics, but can be helpful in business as well. Perhaps Richard Branson is the...

    Starting electrical independence

    The OP wrote an abusive response in Russian (which was emailed to me by the server). It appears that he thought better and deleted that response as it is no longer here. However, I am going to flag for ignore.

    Hi guys..

    Once ****** has a sufficiently large holder base particularly in retail the only way will be down. That may be now. It has no value beyond the ability to sell it to a bigger fool. Nasdaq also seems to be the state of a rotation from growth to value which at the same time as ****** being in a...

    Starting electrical independence

    It is often difficult to pick up the subtlety of language when it is not your first language. It is obvious to me that as far as everyone who is posting on this thread goes they are unwilling to put any time and/or money towards what you are talking about. You have made various incredible...

    Starting electrical independence

    It does not appear that he understands how patents work. I would assume he has never actually got a patent.

    Starting electrical independence

    I think in the second video the drill is corded. Whichever way all he is doing is mystifying me as to why anyone would think anyone would be interested in sending any money his way.

    Starting electrical independence

    The problem with this is that if there are patents in several countries then you should be able to identify the patents. The fact that you haven't means I am pretty certain that you do not have anything that is "investable". Hence I am not inclined to read any more.
