Re: Coronavirus restrictions: are they legal

So eating more than 2 egss per day should be banned? And made a fineable offense for anyone doing so? Would be a bit difficult to enforce. Especially re baked cakes :grin: ...by the same token not wearing a seatbelt is safe if either your vehicle and all the vehicles around you are travelling at un...

Re: Computer audio and my closed mind

I'd noticed the Nord Acoustics Streamer only recently too. From what I can gather it is fitted with one of the top end dac chips? Be curious to try one out. Still using the same Pi/Allo Boss Dac that was at Paul's bake-off almost 3 years ago, keep thinking that I should change to something more exp...

Re: Coronavirus restrictions: are they legal

Maybe take the time to know the basic facts behind the ridiculous claims you're making. Do you know any Jews? Ask them about their shared history of Nazi Germany and then ask them how insulting they feel your puerile comparison of their experiences with *being asked to stay at home and wear a mask*...

Re: Coronavirus restrictions: are they legal

Eating butter, eggs, etc make it significantly more likely that you will suffer severe internal injury or death from heart disease, cancer, stroke. That impacts on emergency services, hospital staff, your family, friends and anyone that pays their taxes. Not if you eat them in moderation as part of...

Re: Coronavirus restrictions: are they legal

And what is the actual legislation that says that anyone forgetting to wear their mask in a shop should be made to pay a fine? I bet there's no such legislation. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/592/contents/made Fail on 2 counts: 1 The title of the legislation says "Wearings of face c...

Re: Coronavirus restrictions: are they legal

:Bllocks: I refer you back to my comment re seatbelts. They (our democratically elected government, (and, no, I didn't vote for them.)) made it a law: it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not, if you fail to comply you'll be fined: end of. The reason it has to be compulsory is because some idi...

Re: Right up the Ares II

Factories can be ruthless. If they see an item selling well, then some can often go out the back door.

Re: Computer audio and my closed mind

There are also a few 'ready-made' units available that are based on Pi and incorporate a DAC.

This one is sold direct in the UK: https://www.nordacoustics.co.uk/product ... dac-es9038

Re: Coronavirus restrictions: are they legal

Hitler was democratically elected as part of a coalition government. Yes, but he only seized overall (and ultimate) power through systematic intimidation, violence and murder of his opponents. It is, though, a useful reminder to be careful about who you vote for. Even if we assume that you are corr...
