Try the 4 ohm taps as well as the 8 ohm taps. They are there for a purpose!
I had never heard of this practice. It seems like a really good idea.
In what way is it a really good idea ? I suppose itās better than finding that your parents have got together with someone elseās parents and arranged that youāre going to marry their offspring without you or said offspring making the final decision. It seems it was really about providing a son for inheritance purposes though
ā¦ If the son was born within the year and a day, the son succeeded all of the rights, but if no son was born within the year and a day, then the contract was dissolved and the parties were at liberty to remarry ā¦
Iām not sure itās really what weāre about in the 21st century. Or have I missed something ? (Apologies if itās the irony emoji 
.)

I liked the idea that you live together as man and wife for a trial period of a year and if it all works out then you tie the knot legally. It might save a lot of divorces.
Mrs VB and I did that for more than two years back in the 1980ās. We called it ābeing engaged and moving in together and then buying a house but using contraception so there were no kids if it didnāt work outā. Not quite the same when it came to the kids aspect, but Iām not convinced that making babies with someone youāre really not sure about has a lot to recommend it. In the worst case youāre left holding them and they turn out to be just like the person you canāt bear.

The Pantheon is 1900 years old and is the still the largest unsupported concrete dome in the world.

Un-reinforced. If youāre prepared to put rebar in you can make bigger ones. Wikipedia says the āFaith Chapel Christian Centerā in Birmingham AL is now the biggest monolithic concrete dome and is about twice the diameter of the Pantheon

Heās probably down the Pantheon hanging out with all the others.
EDIT: Iāve just read that the Pantheon is now a church. Ironic. Maybe they should rename it the Monotheon.
