I've been seeing, (or rather hearing, they sound massive), isolated Bumblebees for the last couple of weeks now. When the sun is out.

This is good. Lots of interesting book learning about how trees and forests work. A little Tree Huggy but not excessively. (I'm not buying the theory that trees are sentient beings).

What are you on about now? Military service record? Employment status? Vehicle towing capacity? Off-road capability? Precision of kindling splitting? Annual income? This teammate nonsense is BS you know. There are a plethora of people that you disagree with, as you might expect. They obviously have that in common, but that doesn't make them a team. Even less, a team conspiring to make Davey's life a misery. You can stand down now soldier!

Got there in the end.

Wow. Thank you.

No, just three very easy questions. You could just give Y/N answers if you don't like writing long posts. Do you think that Trump is successfully playing Putin? Do you think that weathermen and climate scientists, the NOAA, are just waste that needs deadwooding? Do you think that it is prudent to cut funding to Public Libraries? Nothing whatsoever to do with Covid.

No, you misunderstand. I don't think anyone is envious of you, despite all the bragging. Quite the opposite in fact. This is a digression. Steering back on track, do you think Trump is successfully playing Putin? I don't, I think Putin is playing Trump to an absolute banger of a tune. He's probably over the moon, with the ideal puppet in his hands now. What about weathermen and climate scientists, the NOAA, do you agree that they are just waste that needs deadwooding? Public libraries? Trying to get you to actually answer some questions here for once, to provide a prism through which Trumps actions can be viewed as positive.

So then. Hands up anyone who thinks that he is going to display more business acumen with other people's money? The money of the American people. The poor American people so down trodden by the massive problems of wealth inequality in the US, that they felt that they had no choice but to vote him into power. Would anyone care to explain how he is suddenly going to pivot 180° after decades worth of business failures? I just don't get it. It's weird.

Interesting idea, but does sound like bollocks. We look forward to hearing the outcome when you try it. I think it's bacteria on the thorns that cause most of the problems. Maybe that would perform the alchemy of turning beef into venison. That shadow under the skin there is I'm pretty sure a blackthorn that I never managed to dig out at the time. I'm surprised to see it still there, not checked it in years. I thought that it had somehow been subsumed by the flesh. Unusually for these, it wasn't particularly painful, probably because it was nowhere near a joint.

Turn out your pockets, sonny Jim. This is an EDC thread.

Old school Casio. Rugged as, (apart from the straps), but cheap as if it gets ripped off and lost. It tells the time and date and I don't have to take it off to go swimming. Modeled on an adult male wrist.

Wordle 1,371 3/6 ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well, this is highly unusual.

Interesting. So is that a river that only flows during winter?

I wasn't going to complicate things by mentioning that!

I didn't think it stated an exact figure, but yes, under 60%. It's worth listening to. The just-in-time system that our food supply works on is doomed as soon as there's any serious disruptions. We've got no storage any more, no communal larder. Some other countries do, like Scandi and Baltic states, for obvious reasons. Switzerland has enough stored to feed the whole population for three months, may be increased to twelve soon.

No, I think you'll find that it's Levant .
-
I was confused at myself, why I had the idea that you lived next to Heathrow.
-
Oh. Don't know where I got that from then. Thanks for the info anyways! ☺️ I only knew of a Levant in Cornwall. A spectacular tin mine on the cliffs of the north coast.

One word sums it up really. Redundancy, (or resilience/preparedness/functional backup) - it was lacking. Like a lot of our critical infrastructure, systems and public services. Food, medicine, power, water, telecoms; I don't suppose we'd fair well as a country if any those was catastrophically interrupted. Things would get sticky pretty quickly. Doesn't bode well for the future, in these troubled times. The Food Programme - Are We Prepared? Could the UK Feed Itself in a Crisis? - BBC Sounds WWW.BBC.CO.UK Five years after the first lockdown Dan Saladino asks if food systems are better prepared.

You wonder how blokes used to get a decent haircut in years past, before the advent of Turkish barbers.

Don't you live somewhere nearby? Must be a blessing in disguise for you. The difference is stark
