Numbers 10 and 14 are cracking photos.

It keeps popping up doesn't it.

The curtain was the most ridiculous thing about that. I think the American housemaid cooking one was more of a giggle.

Again, not AI, but another example of government incompetence and IT fckups. Hopefully it's not the start of a new Horizon type scenario.

"Fell out of my bag"? Sure it didn't fall out of somewhere else?

All "treated and cleaned" prior to installation apparently. Must have been an expensive process.

Was? We're not yet in the past tense. Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in Gaza since ceasefire WWW.BBC.CO.UK Entire neighbourhoods controlled by Israel have been levelled in less than a month, the images show.

Batten down the hatches folks.

Don't throw you old ropes away, just pile them up and make a fortune from them. Turner Prize - always good for a laugh.

Thanks. For the esoterica! Crematoria are probably more concerned by certain "culinary" smells than formaldehide .....

That reminds me of this discussion, you never did respond in detail. Ok, so I think all that can be summarised as: Hamas are villains who can't be trusted. I don't disagree. I'd answer both your questions by: yes, I'm aware of what they're up to. They're terrorists. "All I will say for now is the casualty figures for Gaza all come from Hamas so I certainly don’t believe them." - So what would you estimate to be the true figure? For the sake of argument, let's say they've exaggerated the death toll by 100%, (which I'd say is next to impossible given the international scrutiny of the situation). But still, that gives a ratio of ~23:1. That's not proportional. Not to mention the wide scale destruction of buildings and infrastructure. I see the IDF has demolished 1500 more since the ceasefire even. Accepting of the fact that Hamas have provided dodgy evidence of war crimes and genocide. What then about all the other stuff in that report by the UN Commission? Most of it hasn't come from Hamas. As a side thought, consider the resources that are available to Israel when it comes to generating propaganda. They're world leaders in IT, with huge wealth to fund it as well. They've probably got 1000s of people and AI working on propaganda. Compare that with the capabilities of their adversary.

On closer inspection, I think you're right actually. The blocks do look more like coarse chipboard, without the shiny surface of melted lignin. That's a shame. Do you mean smell the formaldehyde before putting on the fire, or during burning? I can't in either case. Though I'm not surprised at the latter as it's in a closed wood burner. What are the products of combustion? Its simple chemical structure suggests not much, but it's been too many years since I've thought about chemistry. One of my jobs as a teenager was to go up on to the roof of a barn that my parents used as a large workshop, multi vehicle garage and general storage place, to clean the numerous sky lights. I had to scrub them with a formaldehyde solution to get rid of the moss and algae that built up. Don't think I'll ever forget the smell. I can smell/taste/feel it now when I think about it. Oh, and the roof was composed of asbestos cement sheets. Nice.

Real wood briquettes are stuck together solely with the inherent Lignin I think, which melts under the high pressures and temperatures involved in the manufacturing process. So there shouldn't be any glue in them at least. I've been burning some of those little cubic pallet separator blocks recently. Hopefully they're made the same way as the briquettes, as I normally use the ash from the wood burner around the garden.

It was a pissed up joy ride by the sounds of it, so I doubt much forethought went into it at all.

Define Leftard please. Is it just Neo-ATLism? The definition seems to be getting wider by the day, it transcends the Left/Right divide now.

As if we need more plastic in our oceans. Same old, same old. Profit before Planet. Profit before People. How do we fix it though? Easy enough to call out the fckups, harder to suggest solutions.
