My rule of thumb is that when your #code stops violating expectations by being *wrong* and starts violating expectations by proving *you* wrong, it is ready to integrate into operations.

Oh, they come in sizes? How do I know what size/rate this one is? There are some numbers on it, but they don't obviously match any volume per unit time measurements.

Finally connected the dissatisfactory shower water pressure I've had "lately" with the new showerhead I installed about a year ago.

Took out the flow restrictor yesterday.

This morning, I am the cleanest, and most awake, I've ever been.

I need to see if there's such a thing as a half flow restrictor. It's almost impossible to turn it *down* enough now.

The useful pressure control zone needs to be larger and also not saturating the heat control.

The Forth and Clyde Canal in the north of Glasgow. Designed by John Smeaton and constructed between 1768 and 1790, it allowed goods and ships to move from the North Sea to the North Atlantic without having the pass through the treacherous waters along the North of Scotland. It was the world's first man-made sea-to-sea canal, making it the forerunner of canals like the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal.

UK concrete crisis: What is RAAC and what can be done to prevent catastrophe?`

As schools across the country are forced to partially close and London airports confirm their buildings have RAAC, Euronews takes a look at the impact RAAC has and will have going forward.

“Any structure built with RAAC during its popular usage period should be assessed for potential risks”.

"The real measure of a great engineer is how quickly that engineer can simplify a complex problem and develop an easily understood and maintainable solution." (Martin L. Abbott, Michael T. Fisher, "Scalability Rules")

_But how do you become a great engineer?_

By learning from great engineers.
