For fast growing evergreen screening, I'd suggest Scots Pine, or maybe even Eucalyptus (if you're free to use non-natives ?), they grow like stink !

When someone asks “All things considered, is AI good for humanity?” they’re doing something very human: trying to simplify a vast, complex subject into something digestible. That kind of question can come from a few different mindsets, depending on tone and intent: The seeker of clarity – Someone genuinely curious, trying to get a sense of the overall moral balance. They know it’s complex but want to hear how others weigh the pros and cons. The moral judge – Someone looking for a definitive stance. “Good or bad” becomes a shorthand for “should I support or fear this?” The conversational spark – Someone starting a debate thread. They ask a simple, provocative question because it invites passionate responses. The anxious observer – Someone uneasy about change. Framing it as “good or bad” helps them express uncertainty or fear in a socially acceptable way. The reductionist thinker – Someone who struggles (or refuses) to sit in the grey areas. They want a clear binary even when the truth is layered. So, that kind of question isn’t necessarily shallow — it often reveals how a person handles complexity. Some want to understand it; others want to control or contain it.

I don't remember how it came out, certainly not for quite a while and we only worked together for a short time, weeks rather than months, it was 50 years ago.

With the background knowledge, subtle questions and a name like Jimmy Jugerlugs, it has to be a wind-up.

A young lad at my last job was left in the onerous position of having a plant trailer left in a layby some few hundred yards from the site compound. No +E for his B licence then. So he coupled up and started towing down the road but got pulled. Not only did he get done for the lack of +E but for driving with defective brakes, he hadn't fitted the break away cable. His manager washed his hands of his mistake in not parking trailer in the compound.

Isolating like this is sometimes called double bagging, because you can clip two throwbags together for the extra weight.

Mitsubisihi outlander. Quite a compact thing, tows alright. Pulls well.

I mean the concept of AI sounds great, but I would say it's created by billionaires for billionaires. The fact that it just repeats any old mumbo jumbo found on line then treats it as fact, then people treat it as fact. More and more people are relying on it day to day. Each search AI search 68g CO2, a regular Google search without AI 0.2gCO2. imagine how much people are using this day to day, and the emissions produced. The government keen to press on into the unknown with AI whilst in the other hand saying we need to reel back to protect the environment. https://share.google/eVSFKBnYsBEHS4iQu

Feck sake🤦🏻😂

That's going to make just about every conversation about everything in an arb day awkward and depressing. All we do is check the other person has secured something.

the new skin job sex robots could possibly reduce reported rapes, unless the skin jobs have to consent first

So, a repository for all things AI. Opinions, facts, news. Examples of good applications, or bad applications or proper fckups we can laugh about. Whatever. This thing keeps cropping up on here more and more, in relation to different subjects, so it feels like we need a thread dedicated to Artificial Intelligence. I thought it'd be interesting to gauge the group consensus on it, and hopefully the reasoning behind it. Also to have a bit more of an in depth discussion of the topic. Personally, I don't feel positive about it. That much is probably apparent by now. Maybe I'm just a cynical luddite, but maybe it's not just me. .

Im assuming the brake away cable wasn't attached or was attached in the wrong place ,it was a shit situation, poorly maintained trailer that once was a wooden horse trailer cut down, from memory it was a quite and old bloke thst caused it

With an over-run braked trailer the break away wire should apply a brake to all trailer wheels, an un-braked trailer must have a safety chain independent of the tow ball. So something was missing. The chap I started out on the arb adventure with had previously killed a grandfather out walking his toddler grand daughter by spearing him with a ladder that flew off as he drove round a road junction.

Driverless trains and trams exist - though the London Mayor scrapped plans for the London Underground. Suspect that means 'paused'. Can't see a problem with driverless trains if they can prove the tech is reliable and secure - to be honest by the time say, a main line passenger train driver sees a problem they have passed it a mile ago. Not sure cars have the computing yet - too many other things to react to

Look at a Volvo XC series. They have a few sizes. Lovely motors.

I guess there is a different category for bombardment in a ceasefire?

Tis the season.....

Nice. It's like a Fractal.

A horrific accident happend local to me a long time ago, I cant remember if the ball came off or the hitch on the trailer, long and short of it a woman got killed after the trailer became detached from vehicle , thankfully the toddler she was pushing was ok. Shit situation

I was going yo suggest that but I thought you'd mock me or be a mong to me .

We run three Discos and take them to a specialist over in Dundee for servicing etc. His favoured vehicle is the FL2 - provided the underneath is still sound. As with most things LR the oil leaks usually help to keep them protected!
