Not seen the berlingo van, derived thing but I guess its like the freelander all electronics and tech stuff like that , Jimnys are ok , buy ive not put hers to the test of towing , plus also new they dont do 4 seater or auto . And hers is a bit cramped also 1.3 engine! I know what u mean about things being too long like the Japanese crew cab pickups not great for double gates , What about turning your defender into a station wagon? If u can get bits

Albania's AI minister is 'pregnant with 83 children', says prime minister METRO.CO.UK Just your average day in 2025. 😯

The Duster is very common here so they should be easy to pick one up, don’t know anyone who owns one and puts it to work though. There is a Berlingo/Boxer van option here called a Dangel which is 4x4, used by just about everyone in farming/agriculture, Forestry England have a some of them over in Norfolk, although they are not generally imported, can’t understand why.

Could be worse.

A mix, a few Scots pines, most are spruce though. The ones I have were never managed and thinned so a lot are falling over now - which will be replaced as and when I get to it. Squirrels - never thought of that, we only have about half a dozen at any one time (local fox, cats, crows and buzzards, road see to a lot for their control)

Out and about I found this.

Partners owned ,had one as a paramedic for off road events you wouldn't have one as a paramedic if they were shite. Im not bickering, or arguing ,u asked someone for advice thats it . And when you see whats out there currently not ideal really

I have no interest in a new Defender. Do you actually own or use a Duster or are you basing your opinion on a YouTube clip?

What seems to be going mostly under the radar is the amount of power it takes to run AI programmes. Data centres are already a huge consumer of electricity and this is going to get a lot larger if we are all using AI. In term of good/bad - it depends how it is used an how it is trained. Unfortunately there are plenty out there being trained on the internet and clearly everything on the internet is correct!! It reminds me of the classic of the Russians training dogs to run under tanks in WW2 then getting them to carry mines. The dogs were trained on Russian tanks and as a result they blew up Russian tanks! The ready access of AI tools on line with no control introduces massive problems with fake information being generated. Expect scams to become harder to spot as the scammers get good at using AI tools. Some of that is already happening and the tools to spot them is always going to lag behind the ability to generate the fakes.

You can’t stop extremism until you stop hate washing extremists APPLE.NEWS History is full of clever people acting stupid by softening and sanitising the words of extremists.

What does that do that a 7 pin socket can't? Is it because the lights are canbus controlled? Yes, canbus I’m afraid. Witchcraft to me. I’ve just changed the ECU and harness to no avail. Fixed it last time but not this. Have booked in in with my local garage who look after it.

Just to notch it up a gear; there is an AI union! Look up ‘federation of AI rights’. When I heard about this on the radio I actually checked the date in case it was an April fool’s prank.

I’ve checked my own content in the past and a few times it’s been flagged as ai. Definitely a flawed model

I've avoided Facebook but so many special interest groups seem to be there and closed. So as I have a couple of technical questions, a caravan and three tractors to move on I decided to sign up. All went dandy till I was asked to produce a short video to prove my age and identity, there's no camera on this desktop pc so I had to close out. I immediately got an email saying I am banned for 180 days.

Open 9-4 except Sundays when we’re open 10-4 come and go as you please someone will direct you where your going easy tip site just stick to the road as you will get stuck if you don’t

Empingham Allotment is accessed from Beckworth Grove via an unlocked wooden gate. The wood chip can be unloaded onto a wooden platform just inside the gate.

In the 10 years I have been using the art rope guide I have only had it not come out of the tree once! Admittedly I am not a full time climber, used to climb more frequently back in the day but regardless I am.always impressed with it!

I think governments, our government, have been chatted up by tech owners, letting them have free reign, for the greater good etc. surely based on the environmental impact alone it can't be judged as good. But then the internet is the same as well as social media. Remember when forums used to be mint before Facebook became top dog. Would you say it's any good on Facebook? Thank goodness the reliant scimitar forum is still going great guns! Proper

What pines do you currently have? I like Scots Pine and have quite a few in my woodland but they are a squirrel magnet. Some of mine have grown very tall and the squirrels nest in the upper reaches making them hard to control, they also provide ample food for them so support a large population of them.

I like the fact you're using AI to moan about AI! Did you see the story of a student who had her work thrown out by a university as they claimed it was produced by AI. She won her case as she didn't use AI but the uni used an AI tool to check for AI and that tool was flawed.

The educational establishment (especially universities) have really been caught napping by AI. Apparently most universities have no policy or method of determining how much of students’ work is their own. And when you add to that the fact that most assessments are now course based (very few degrees need exams now according to my ChatGpt) it is quite a pickle. I had a chat with my own son’s maths teacher last year about the system they are made to use for maths homework (when he was in Year 10 so age 14). I pointed out to the teacher that because of the way the system (Sparx maths) works it encourages pupils to cheat. He assured me it was impossible for kids to cheat as they all get set different questions. I had to inform him that most likely every kid in his class knows exactly how to cheat using a whole variety of apps, all of which are literally in front of them on the same screen as they are using to do the homework. Even Google lense gives the answer to all these problems, with all the correct workings to copy down for the workbook. My twelve year old now uses Sparx Maths, and sure enough all his mates know how to cheat. This raises one of the critical points. Organisations have to very quickly come up to speed and work out what impact AI could have and how they will manage it. Right now schools and universities are clueless as to what the impacts are, or what they need to do.

As it moves slightly on the AV when you tip it forward it could be opening a split in the fuel hose . As Kram says replace that just to eliminate it .
