Yes but it’s not to late to stop the worse of it, if we keep our governments and companies accountable we can limit the worse of it.

For me to keep it off was the challenge. I Started by working out how much I needed to eat for maintenance, through calculators and counting my calories for a couple of weeks.

Then I just brought a small deficit of a couple hundred cals, and increased exercise; making sure to go for a walk each day, started lifting weights at the gym.

Now im halfway to my weight goal. But it was all about setting the habits and keeping them going, turning down extra cake in the office or having a smaller lunch to balance everything out, now I dont have the same cravings I used to. Its been a slow year but I am happy with it.

Cheers mate 🙂 it is good setting up the healthy habits.

Long time reader, first time commenter.

Its going fairly well for me, had a nice chat with family the other day. Ive lost about half of the weight I want to (slow and steady in a healthy way). And I think the friendly banter with a friend is getting rather friendly so will see where that goes.

Glad to know I’m not the only one doing the stupid government mental health walk for my mental health that stupidity works 😂.

Your curtains/blinds can insulate the room but you get less light. Maybe also try some foil or radiator reflectors to bounce the heat away from the wall and into the room. Personally I get really comfortable under a fluffy blanket with a teapot next to me. But I like the cold over the heat.

Right here, will spend way to long writing a vba macro when i could have done it without quicker 😂

The main one is the resin that is bring used, that will have a shelf life like paint or glue as the solvent will evaporate. The second one is fibre primers that are used to help the resin integrate with the Carbon Fibers can degrade and cause improper bonding between the fibres and layers. For fabrics this is normally over a year but for prepregs (where the resin already in the fibres but not set) is generally a year and will need testing for a longer shelf life.

Another issue is the storage you want a cool dry environment and covered to avoid contamination from other rolls/prepregs. Additionally the other thing that worries me is although salt water is not an issue to the fibres and resins themselves when you add metal to them the salt acts as an electrolyte and will cause galvanic corrosion “rusting” away the fasteners and causing damage to the fibres in that area.

Not to mention Carbon Fiber is best for coaxial (along the length of the tube) tension not hoop (around the tube) compressive forces. And differences in the layup and curing process can impact the viability of the final part which is why lots of places will weigh the resin and have a procedure to soak the fibres and lay them up as well as sensors to keep the pressure and temperature with a margin for curing, to keep the variability between the parts minimal.
