It's a pity they don't show what vehicle this one here is, I imagine another Iveco:

Ah yes, because when a petrol saw needs refuelled you just fill 'er up from a tree I don't think lithium batteries will get cheaper, if anything the price will only go up In the future they will just get robots to do all the work. Probably fell the tree using a laser beam powered by a nuclear fuel cell A Lumberjack will be a guy sat infront of a bunch of computer screens like air traffic control, sending autonomous machinery and vehicles to different forests. He'll still have a check shirt though.

Och that's still the case! This was posted before, when they unloaded the van it weighed 3470kg EMPTY!! Legal payload of 30kg

Also sometimes battery system voltages are rounded up, Makita 40v is the same voltage as any other 36v. These 2 dewalt batteries are the same, different stickers for different markets:

I've never properly worked it out, but I would think a 36v 9.4ah would cost less than 20p to charge? If you've ever bought aspen, battery power seems ridiculously cheap. Also can be more convenient to refuel at home than have to drive via a petrol station - even more so in remote places. One place I've worked would be an hour round trip to a petrol station, but they have mains electricity! Battery tools get more useful and cheaper the more of it you buy, you can just keep adding bare tools. Don't do it on the cheap, get good tools and plenty of large batteries All decent brands of batteries cost fairly similar to buy new when you compare watt-hours. Obviously cheaper chinese stuff is at a lower price but you're taking more of a gamble on the cells and battery management. I think worldwide the price of lithium is going up? I will always pick up the tool most suited to the job - often that is battery powered

They were saying on the news on the radio today that westwood has died RIP

Found this shed roof by accident on street view Google Maps WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps. And then if you take 2 steps down the lane there's a couple photographing the car!!

If I was going to guess, the 4 larger rounds are rotten beech, and the smaller piece on top is elm. The vertical piece on the left with the ivy is something else. These threads are always pointless as we never get to find out the real answer

Yew and laurel is very dangerous, and the ONLY safe method of disposal is to send it to me, where I will decontaminate it for you, whilst keeping my toes warm. Re the OP, having an open fire and some fancy meter to measure stuff in the air seems an odd combination of technology. Get a stove.

After he fell from his hotel room window, Indian police have been asked if the Kremlin was involved in the death of Russian "Sausage Tycoon" Pavel Antov. The superintendent responded "All we can say is, we haven't found any links"

I like the idea that switching off a few led lightbulbs will make a noticeable difference to your bill. Need to tell that one to the types of people who drive for 20 minutes to get petrol 1p a litre cheaper

Atleast the posties have good working conditions though? Meanwhile in the north of Scotland, the postal service is great The only delays recently have been apparently due to backlogs at the big parcel centres in the south of England

I don't have a smart meter, but I think it will get harder to remain on the grid without one. The thin end of the wedge is offering a slightly better rate if you have a smart meter. Then once you have one, you get offered cheap electricity at times when there is plenty. The flip side of that is you pay a much higher price at times of peak demand. I'm sure it's coming, and I think it's sad there will be a time when the little old lady is eating her dinner at 1am as she can't afford to cook it at a normal time.

Don't be so certain that trolls actually leave, they will come and go under different usernames, and ip addresses if needed. Some might even be longstanding serious members, just having a laugh. Trolls have been around since the beginning of internet forums/message boards/bulletin boards. Imo they add to the entertainment

Can't go dogging without dogs!! I had the late night layby (in the borders funnily enough!), with someone flashing their lights at me, I took it as a compliment A good place for the tracker would be stuffed down the back of a seat on the glasgow subway, plenty of phones to leach off, and spends all day going round in a circle

Meanwhile in Norway, the land of strong unions etc, they only get letters twice a week

"Next-day deliveries will only be available if customers email the text to La Poste, which will then print out the letter at a local branch before passing it to a postal worker." Sounds like telegrams are back!

Apparently @Steve Bullman has spent the last 3 years working in conjunction with OpenAI on a new forum based chat bot based upon the GPT-3 language. It uses data already posted on this forum and is able to reprocess this into new threads and postings. Sometimes it will analyse current news stories, hence posts on the strikes, and sometimes it recycles old news, hence a thread on Scottish Independence. It wouldn't surprise me if the chatbot will start a thread on Stihl v Husqvarna soon, as that is easy pickings. Or maybe a thread involving people's gardens, dog poo, cups of tea, "do you need to plug a lead in?" etc. A lot of the time the bot doesn't really know what it is talking about, but it doesn't have to. I think the name Kimosabi was picked as it's part of the name of Steve's local Japanese noodle bar or something? They were worried just calling it "dave" or whatever would stand out too much. It was released onto Arbtalk in May 2022, but the initial posts were actually human generated, to try and help it blend into the surroundings, and initiate the AI's deep learning process. The full chatbot function was unlocked heading into Christmas/mid winter, as that is a time when forum activity tends to fall anyway. The next version of the bot should be even better, once they iron out a few bugs, particularly where it gets bogged down in circular arguments with a small number of (real) forum members. BBC Click did a short documentary on it: Please be nice to the chatbot Kimosabi, the software is trying it's best! ❤️

Jeez don't give the game away by mentioning a poster who last visited a year before you signed up
