Mallette Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I've used the "hose bend" method many, many times. The toaster is cool, but very old hat. I've seen similar from the 1930s that also had a coffee maker. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 yeah but I figured coffee would be delivered to my room, or maybe just down the hall or stairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 A toasting device with a browning control which does not rely on burning is described in GB2,367,482B (U.S. Pat. No. 6,543,337). This uses an ionisation source, such as an alpha radiation source, in an ionisation chamber—particulates emanating from toasting products enter the ionisation chamber and cause a drop in current which may be used, for example, to stop the toasting. However the currents are very small and can also be confused by ions generated from the toaster elements themselves. Accordingly there is a need for improved techniques for detection of the browning of toast and the like, preferably at low cost, preferably without using a radioactive source. In particular there is a need for a technique with better reliability (larger signals), and improved robustness to that of GB'482 (US'337).

Moderators dtel Posted September 6, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 6, 2015 I have seen them also in stores, even gas stations while on the road. When the kids got old enough to pay attention we got rid of all that kind of stuff, the kids are all in there mid to upper 30's, all with kids, it's been a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joessportster Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 "We avoided all-brass hose nozzles as brass generally contains lead, which can leach into water and transfer to hands during handling. How much lead actually gets into your water is not known or regulated." Joe, I am detecting that you don't buy that and posted tongue in cheek, but some will actually take it seriously...my response to anyone who did would be: Seriously? I don't know what to say... Can't even bring up a top quality product, made in the USA by disabled veterans, at an excellent price and excels in all ways without some modern fear of everything getting involved. Really didn't think this one would generate a discussion. Certainly won't from me as I consider that absolutely laughable and I suspect those disabled vets dealt with a lot worse threats as well. But then I drink from springs and creeks without fear. Have a great brass beer mug and a chalice we use for home and camping communion as well. Dave Yea Dave I dont subscribe to the paranoia, It is in my nature to point out the hypocrisy, Only mentioned the dogs as a personally known instance of another metal causing harm which the reviewers dont seem to mind.

Moderators dtel Posted September 6, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 6, 2015 Know how to assemble a power bong with a fish tank air pump Eldon??Rog Never tried that, but really I do not need to find new ways, the regular ways are working just fine. The older I get the more I like to keep things simple as to not have to excessively pay attention Anyway if I were to try that you may find me just standing around the yard just watering down everything with a fun new hose nozzle for way to long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 keep things simple as to not have to excessively pay attention That's pretty hard to do with a bong around anyway. About the only level of attention possible is a game of "find your foot." Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
