I built one of these, for fun (it does work):

I use alexa.

See, there is another example of
you trying to be funny or clever

No its not. Its me pointing out that alexa
works a lot better as a time, because you
can have as many timers going at once as
you like and name them so its obvious which
timer has gone off when it does go off.

But completely and utterly missing the point of the electronics and
nostalgic exercise for a common used electronic component. It wasn't
about timing or timers at all.

Any idiot (that can speak) can 'use Alexa'
but not everone can solder (well)

And end up with a grossly inferior timer.

See above.

or do other practical stuff.

Like work out how to get the best timer and
even get real radical and work out hot to get
a lot more force on a tree that you are
bending back to where it needs to be.

Irrelevant. It was about nostalgic / electronics, not using Google or
Alexa.

You say you built your own place but from your
comments here, it could well be all made out of
pallets and cinder blocks with a tarp for a roof?

If you havent even noticed that some
****wits try desperately for an insult...

As you yourself are doing...

Nope, if I want an insult from you I'll just prove you wrong in
public. However, I wasn't looking for one (so you are wrong yet again)
but simply trying to get to the bottom of your issues. Are you bored
and so willing to do anything to get attention (which usually gets you
killfiled instead), can't help yourself (1 tinny short of a 6 pack)
or really don't know how to be social?

I give you it is tricky here, with the weirdo's spilling over from
uk.r.a (because they have ruined that place) with some thinking the
send button is the trigger on a megaphone (like Reay).

So, rather than having to create numerous accounts in a desperate hope
that some will read you before working out it's you, why not try just
being civil and reasonable? If you know something someone has said is
wrong, just question them politely and maybe include a link (unless
it's Ray and you will be there all day and he won't listen anyway).

Believe it or not, I would be mildly interested to hear what (diy
related ideally) gear you had found at garage sales or stuff you had
picked up broken and repaired.

Go on, give it a try, what have you got to lose? ;-)
