The old chestnut being that reducing cash usage will make it harder for criminals. That's the line they push here.
-
It's no theory. I watched a docco about it on SVT,my bird is Swedish and I am over there frequently.

It's because many immigrants don't come from a card use culture and allowances are now being made for them.No one really wants cash anymore,it's a hassel all the way from user to banker.You can't pay with cash in Stockholm,literally no one takes it outside of the ethnic food shops. I can't remember the last time I paid a bill using cash? Might have been in London circa 1999?

Glock in.22 LR,its not mine but I had a go on it. Its a cheap junky gun but its accurate enough.

Regular HO will work fine,check if it has sealed ungreasable rotor shaft bearings and budget for replacement of them at about 2000 hours if it has the ungreasable bearings. Be a weapon of a chipper!

Not so. Some people in mainland Britain have " preservation of life" for a S5 weapon,carried on their person or at home. Hard to believe but it's true.

Go to the cops,say you believe you are a victim of a hate crime. State that this began after your suspect learned of your sexuality,as the cops what they are going to do about it. These days there has to be a reason for the cops to not look bad. They don't seem to actually be interested in deterring criminality anymore.

Alberta you will only be doing treework part time from what I gather. Winter is a nearly full time season.

For monster trees,we cut a socket for the GRCS. Set the whole thing into the tree.

No idea they farmed seaweed.

Salmon farms are the marine equivalent of high intensity beef farming. All the effluent is released untreated into the ocean.

Tie a rope to it and pull it over with a tractor. Or something else with alot of pull . -
There used to be Reindyr as far south as modern day Germany. If European's could have sustained themselves on risk free fruit,vege & cereals I think they might have stayed put. Genetically we are identical to them,it's just we convinced ourselves on what constitutes a balanced diet or really what some companies can make a buck from.
-
So should you. People migrated North to Scandinavia following the Reindyr herds as the ice retreated northwards. Genetically Europeans ate alot of meat. They became farmers in more temperate regions to secure a steady food supply as populations grew. Interesting the UK hasn't produced enough food to meet its needs since middle ages.

God bless diesel

All of that wasn't available consistently for humans 10,000 years ago. Unless we all lived in Equatorial regions. Did you grow up in a Hippy colony? Was you Father called Neil?
-
@5thelement What did you eat the other 6 days a week?
-
Sure But you are convinced eating so much meat has never been normal at any part of our evolution. I would say that meat was likely the only constant in our diet as animals of some kind were available year round. I live in Norway, foraging is pretty much a waste of time. If you want food, you shoot it or catch it. Farming is more or less a non starter on the West Coast. Fun fact: Wild Reindyr has three times the omega 3 of Wild Salmon. Its so good that it can sell for £130 per kilo!

Only if you order a Jumbo

What did humans eat during the ice age? Ice cream?

To be honest,some of my best big tree reductions were performed after enjoying a "Jamaican Woodbine".

I found one on the net for him,sent him a pm with the link. Its an off the shelf item in Germany

I worked on one that had eaten a big Rock,it ruined the rotor.

We used to have to deal with North American Hornets at work. We had a bee keeper helmet and would wear ski pants and jacket under rain clothes.Tape our cuffs and ankles ,climb up and swiftly bag the nest in a bin bag and then come down. Normally we would empty a can of spray into the bag and that would be the end of them. Once a customer used a can of aerosol thinner instead,it was a particularly large nest so I wanted to keep it. I put it in the workshop but unfortunately the thinners just knocked the hornets out for a while and the next day we had a shed full of pisssed off hungover bitey flies.
