If that were true though @ubuysa, then I should at Einstein level intelligence by now. 😃

The damage done to my fingers this morning while trying to fix a tap would suggest otherwise sadly.......

At least you attempted to fix it.... my kitchen tap has been leaking from the top mount and dripping from the nozzle for close to a year.... haven't touched it. Now that is the work of a true moron

I once put an electric kettle on a gas hob.

Lesson learnt.

Next house - induction hob. 😎

If you ever do decide to get it changed, would highly recommend Franke.

I will do it, it needs a new tap, this one has been overtightened and the seals are bust.

It's a crappy tap anyway, needs a new one, but I want one of these filtered boil taps, they look awesome!

Quookers and boiling water taps - are they worth it? - Which?

Find out the pros and cons of instant-hot-water taps, and how big brands such as Grohe, Franke, InSinkerator and Quooker compare.

That looks like something that could test the wording of my Health Insurance policy!

I drink tea more than most people absorb liquid.

All I drink is a couple of cups of coffee first thing, then tea for the rest of the day, with one or two lemsips thrown in for party time.

I never drink water much to the annoyance of most of my health professionals and ex girlfriends.

As such, I'm constantly boiling the kettle.

I just love the idea of running the tap for instant boiling filtered water.

They're expensive, but the energy they'd save by needless boiling the kettle and the time saved as well I think would make up for it in a year or two.

Actually - just found this bit of info in your link Spyder:

That basically means I won't be able to use it at all.

Incidentally, I have decided that if it takes an adult to screw up something that is childproof, then it takes a genius to screw up something that is foolproof. By that measure maybe Ubuysa is right - I am a genius!

In a court the definition of an "expert witness" is anyone who knows more about that subject than anyone else in the courtroom. It follows therefore, that if you're the only person in the room then you truly are a genius.

Love it!

Also, I can use that to blame everyone else for ruining my intelligence when they enter the room. "The only people in here were experts - until you arrived! "

Wish I'd bought a larger SSD for games

You have 2.5TB of space. Is that not enough?!

But in any case it's fixable. Order a 2TB SSD and fit that instead, then buy a USB M.2 caddy and use that with the drive you already have as a USB external drive for backup/transfer/etc.

This is the one I have and it's awesome.

Or you could get a PCIe M.2 adapter and stick that in there, but personally I'd prefer the external drive unless you already have one.

Just deleted my post and put it in my 'build' thread instead.

I looked at a 2TB and the total is £300. Sadly it will have to wait as I don't have the money for one yet. I'll decide to buy one in the future.
