I’d never noticed the hose routing on those. Looks like you could pull the rotate lock pin and the grab could safely go 90 degrees either direction? Mine come out of the side somewhere so if I’m snake dragging, I have to be more careful around left hand bends than rights.

I assume you’re talking about the Qemists or Zardonic? I’ll be led by you on genre. I don’t listen to enough electronic music to confidently say. I think of them as 70% electronic with 30% metal thrown in, much like Bring Me the Horizon are the reciprocal 70% metal and 30% electronic.

Loads of bands' material has been consistently commenting on social and political issues. Not everyday chart material, especially government charts, but it's out there. Very few songs explicitly call for the chancellor of the exchequer to be pulled apart by two Transit vans but I haven't got the riff right yet.

A lot of Flogging Molly songs qualify but sometimes feel contrived.
-
If anyone could understand the vocals of System of a Down songs, they would count as protest songs.
-
Also in dnb/metal, Zardonic has a pretty consistent message.

For those of a dnb persuasion.

Is 2009 too old? (I'm aware it's an older song).

They're mostly rooted in libertarian/anarchist ideology. Sometimes it's a struggle to comport and rhyme lyrics about the evolution of commodity market economies into the bimetallic and, later, fiat money systems. Sometimes you get lucky and it works. I also do like to think I'm one of a very small cadre who has written a rap metal track that includes nods to both Tony Martin shooting thieves and the Manchester and Salford Yeomanry killing a child at the Peterloo massacre of 1819. It's a work in progress.

Mick Dempsey did a post comparing grab types not long ago. Might help. Price sounds good btw. Good luck.

I'm working on it.

You can do a lot of damage with an errant tree or tree part. And indeed a lot of damage with badly fettled brakes. -
Are you old enough to have learned on Whitworth?! It's either that or your boss was German and you were making Obendorf Mausers.

My favourite way to condemn vegans to starvation or compromise is to point out that anything petroleum based is made from dinosaurs etc. So if it was transported by anything other than a human with natural rubber shoes and a hemp rucksack, it’s off limits.

Quite the opposite. I’m trying to establish for the benefit of all who read here whether to place stock in your opinions. Same as everyone does for everyone. I’m sure you don’t take it personally (but please don’t if you were beginning to). I like reading your posts as it happens. -

It can’t be spoken for as a whole because I won’t be spoken for by Gristwoods and I doubt Gristwoods want to be spoken for by me. -

I've googled bits and pieces you've said before and never hit upon any revelations. Maybe I missed the point. Maybe I wasn't clever enough. Maybe I gave up too easily. Maybe all. I'll make a point of performing proper prep the next time you post something intriguing. -

It's all relative so which is it? People on here must be forgiven for still not being sure whether you're a bullshit merchant or whether you really do know useful stuff. We don't expect you to give away valuable knowledge for free willy nilly but you are an awful tease and I don't recall seeing any of your posts that one could really hang their hat on. Like Mick said, throw us a bone. -

I have a voice and seek what I want for me. You don't have to go very far beyond that to run into commie talk and before long we'll all be standing in the arb lines for a week to get a new 5/32" file. -

Ironically, considering my earlier posts in this thread about the non-financial pleasures of the job, I couldn’t care less if my client or their client thinks I’m in the league below child molesters. As long as they pay and aren’t actually calling me scum through a bullhorn while I’m trying to hear a hinge. -

How could Mick have won the deodar job for €5000? -

It’s just a web of competing subjective values, like the rest of life. Some people like an environment where paperwork and compliance for compliance’s sake makes the money and workers are stalked for contractual transgressions and the opportunity to invoke penalty clauses. Some people like a joint at lunchtime while cutting hedges and going home on a bicycle. People usually find the right enough people to deal with on this spectrum and their little corner of the world works while other people’s works for them.
