Quote: I might as well check everything else, but I would like to do that before ordering parts.
Several time I have not done that and that has cost me time and more money! Is Amazon still operating their delivery service in you neck O the woods? I hate buying things like from Amazon as the smaller shops still need customers or the will die. I was in a Model shop on Saturday buying some Gold paint there was one guy in there looking to buy a Glock airpistol andother on the phone to buy a crossbow. I felt like I was in the Walking Dead!

And if they are, are they using delivery drones?
If so, just order some 50-cent piece of cr@p, and be ready with a fishing net.

Rewind it. Bearings and wire are both cheap. Just don't try to superglue the windings in place - it dissolves the polyurethane insulation. Dont ask how I know!
I've bought motors with an unwanted Kv rating since it was cheaper to do that and rewind immediately.

Yes, there have been many, but this must be up there in the 'top 10'. A BBC reporter was interviewing a flower shop owner about the hit on her trade.
Flower Shop Owner: "This is the worst Mother's Day we've had in over 30 years."
BBC Reporter: "And why is that?"
What! To her credit, the flower shop owner answered without being sarcastic or patronising. I'm pretty sure my reply would have qualified for both.

But the viewers need the explanation because they don't live in Islington.

One day? like most women, they have a day for and against everything. Of course only the days that somehow draw attention to them are important, the rest not so much. Anyone here who forgot to honor one of the many 'gimme attention' days once?

To play the devil's advocate, a good reporter will not "fill in the blanks" from what someone said but will ask further questions to get the person to explain themselves.
Just sayin.

Sure, but when it's clear no explanation is needed, the only thing the reporter achieves by doing that is to make himself look dumb.

The US one is in a month and a half, so when I first read it I wondered why would this Mother's Day be the worst (since we don't know what things will be like yet). Context matters and sometimes asking further questions is needed.

I watched the BBC programme yesterday afternoon and listened to the repeated messages about social isolation - keep you 2m gap. Quite right too.
But what else did I see? People behind the newscaster, in the newsroom having face to face chats.
Then we had a number of 2 and 3 way interviews from reporters who were all virtually touching the interviewees.
Then the PM, deputy CMO and Communities Secretary came and left (like every day) walking very close together.
Not sure that "Do as I say not as I do" is the correct approach here.

I think I'd be a lot more impressed with the lego movies if they were all made this way.
