Mighty is the best brand I've tried by a margin, they do a barista one but for an all round milk replacement the whole m.lk is great. They use a blend of oat and pea though I think
£329.99 in the UK without VAT, which is ~$425. So a little less, but not a massive difference.
That's awesome that you could borrow kit from your local library. I assume that would allow you to access a good size magnet without having to fork out a bunch of money on a hobby you haven't tried before?
Great to hear you enjoyed it and have caught the bug so to speak. I hope we get to see more of your finds in future 🙂
My partner really liked the little frog, it's still sat on our kitchen windowsill!

Anyone can buy stuff from most suppliers like RS, Digikey and Mouser, Farnell have CPC that anyone can buy stuff from too, at least in the UK this is the case.
The other manufacturers I mentioned also target their development boards at business applications to trial devices before designing them into a product, but a competent hobbyist would have no problem using them, it's just at a much more involved level than Arduino etc. The HAL libraries and code generation that come with the manufacturer IDEs/SDKs now make the gap pretty small to just get started though.
If I was going to recommend one manufacturer then I'd say an STM32 Nucleo or Discovery board within your budget would be a good place to get started with this typel of microcontroller board.
STMicroelectronics, NXP and Infineon are all European companies. I'm not as familiar with Infineon but all 3 produce development boards and I know that the first 2 have IDEs that include configurator tools that provide you a UI to configure device features that spit out a bunch of HAL code which makes it more accessible for hobbyists.
Yeah the risk of earthquakes is really high in Suffolk, I'm glad I don't live there
Ah yeah, the English is confusing written how it is in the post, I needed the parentheses for it to make sense
~~The Nor and Nand text is swapped around~~
I was wrong, my review comment is that your expressions could do with some parentheses for clarity
I think I'm most worried about the quality of the stew
Well most of one anyway. I didn't think it was a real one to begin with and just threw it in my trolley, but cleaning up in some rust remover and some vigorous brushing revealed "United States Property" and a serial number engraved on one side, and the letters G.H.D on the other which confirmed that it is the body of a real gun!
Definitely wasn't expecting to find this in the canal in Gloucester. I think it's from WW2 judging by the state of it and the markings, but I'm definitely not an expert.
Here's a picture of the other side, the G.H.D engraving isn't really visible on camera though:
Pulled out this gnarly looking anchor from right in the middle of the canal junction before the CRT bridge operator came out and told me I wasn't allowed to magnet fish in the canal. After that I walked 100m down the towpath and pulled out all of this stuff:
First trip out with the massive Barbarian magnet and it's definitely better at sinking down into the mud, although I don't think I'll be doing full 20m casts with it without a lot more practice.

My finds from a day exploring some different spots for magnet fishing along the feeder in Bristol
(infosec.pub)
I think I wil be more careful when walking past scaffolders working in the future given how dropsy they apparently are. I think there's loads more scaffolding down where I pulled those up but it was the last spot of the day so I only had time for a few casts.
I let a couple of passing kids have a go and they managed to find someone else's small fishing magnet, so they were pretty pleased to get one for themselves, and I saw them again later that day having a go in Castle park. I also pulled up another larger single sided magnet that someone hadn't loctited their eyelet on properly.
I didn't find much this time around but that's frequently the case when trying new spots. I definitely want a bigger magnet, there was a lot of deep mud and a larger one would really help finding stuff buried in there.
I was very tempted to create traffic chaos using this sign I pulled out, but I decided that Bristol has enough of that already

Can anyone identify this object I pulled out of the Gloucester & Sharpness canal with my magnet?
(infosec.pub)
I pulled this out in two halves about 45 minutes apart from each other. The second half had numbers on it that I thought could be a date, but on further inspection of the first half it looks like the numbers continue on it, so unfortunately I don't think this was cast in 1828.
I got far more than I was expecting at this spot, given that it's on the edge of a village rather than city centre, including a still working fire extinguisher:

And the most nails I've ever found in a single trip by far, with the stuff I didn't find particularly interesting:

You don't, American toilets are weird and siphon the bowl out before filling it with water. The better design dumps water into the bowl from the cistern and flushes everything through.
