Early morning for me here, never got a chance to sign in yesterday. My daughter was born, she arrived safe and well Via C section, mum and baby doing well resting in the ward while I came home for some sleep. Oh and it’s a barmy 7 degrees so a nice drive home last night. I while new chapter for me ahead, less work more family time.

I'll stick with my Venom 22t towable. even my missus can use it proficiently. I did notice these the other day too, splits logs over a meter in length, for those with a big log burner.

Best before May 2022. I can assure you that's nowt in the grand scheme of things. I'll accept no admonishment on food hygiene from you regardless. You appear to be eating off a baby changing station.

We see it on here too frequently. Speaking in the context of the wider population, not of Arbtalkers: I reckon we might have reached the inflection point already, where more people get their "news" from socials and AI, rather than actual news agencies. Or "do their own research". This should be in its own thread really, but on AI doing science, I saw this today. Genesis Mission: why Trump’s plan to put AIs in charge of science could backfire THECONVERSATION.COM AI enthusiasts are right that projects like AlphaFold are a huge leap forward, but the philosophy of science shows why...

?? More relevant to those of us whom live in Scotland including yourself SP, your SNP during their most embarrassing period when they shared power with some green lunatics just to keep a majority position, actually went ahead and did it only to reverse it when the reality of their stupidity became clear. 5 The SNP government has reversed a ban on log burners in new-builds in Scotland, allowing them as both main and secondary heating systems in new homes. This change, effective from April 2024, followed concerns from rural communities who relied on them for heat during power outages. While log burners can now be installed in new buildings, the ban on mains gas and oil boilers as a primary heat source in new builds remains

Apart from the football, this is going to happen more and more often, people taking social medias as the truth and bypassing any checks - there are a few good examples out there. My favourite this month was an AI thing that read over 2 columns in an article and invented a new disease and I think then went on to find a cure for the disease it had invented! No human checks.

Even the Israelis stop a Tel Aviv derby. Maccabi ultras are military trained thugs.

I'm thinking of the bigger picture Davey. You should do the same occasionally. I thought I was fairly obviously talking globally. The UK is hardly known for it's plastics production industry is it? So no, I wasn't presenting you with an opportunity to hyjack yet another decent thread to push one of your tedious agendas. Keep up. AI alert! No need. Pretty sure we all know the ins and outs of burning wood. Given the forum, and even the thread title. You forgot to clip those in SP. As for hijacking a thread, it started off about wood burners and ended up in global plastic pollution 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️did I complain ??. Shit stirring just like the below comment at the start of your post. “which I do apologise” Anyway seeing as it’s been dragged down to the normal level, don’t you in reality burn imported coal SP rather than wood ?. I’ll not hold my breath for an answer.

Jumping back on topic for a moment, for which I do apologise. Back of my mind from last time around. The issue with the wood burners are the fine particulates in the soot, not carbon and so on. These are like what comes out of diesel exhaust fumes, get into the lungs and that causes the problems. Greater issues in towns of course - as mentioned above, the once a year fires on Christmas day using petrol station 'dry' logs that have sat in the rain for the last 6 months, waiting. So more efficient combustion means there are few fine particles up the chimney. If I remember right from a couple of years ago when the Tories wanted to do the same, it is more of an issue now that car exhausts are cleaner, catalytic converters, and electric cars where the combustion is a long way from towns in the power stations, that the wood smoke particles are becoming more significant in the mix. Not more than there were 10 years ago, just everything else is reducing. With micro plastics, once in the body we don't know what will happen with them but we have had centuries of experience with smoky fires. Digression to the topic, but micro plastics... every plastic thing that wears out leaves micro plastics. I wonder how long the world would clean itself though, for example this generation of fish consume great numbers, die, fall to the sea bed taking the plastics with them, gets buried with sand. Same with us, we consume them, die, get stuck in a hole somewhere and they are buried. So if we fixed the problem today even if they have a 'half life' of a thousand year a good portion might be under ground by then... though what cost to wildlife between now and then?

That's good to know. Maybe I'll wait for next year's black Friday deal on a vertec then.

No shit 42, I think everyone on here gets that don’t you 🤷‍♂️so “ no need”.

The fungi will get Alzheimer’s and forget how to do it though.

That's true on the M500 too, agreed it really helps with Y forks as the hopper sides go down parallel to the blade. Blades are expensive though.
