could always take a petrol generator out mowing to keep the spare battery charged

that Stihl looks good - dread to think how many lawns to pay for it, probably at least two hip replacements, better off growing flowers

I'd like to tap your brains Ratman - recently I had to get a new diesel pump and EGR on my Mk6 Transit, I don't want to say what I paid the garage, suffice to say its given me more impetus to learn mechanics, anyway when I got it back it sometimes flashes on the immob red led, I know these will do that to display that a fault code is logged, theres youtube vids to show how to read the fault from the flashes, what I'm asking you is as a home mechanic if you wanted to get serious what gear would you buy to do all the electronics at home I'm thinking IDS, Bosch KTS 650 etc. I know a virginised pump doesnt need diag, but I'm asking what gear could I buy to not only read , but clear codes in my Ford and would it need another box for Iveco daily, also what subscriptions and costs or not necessary? thanks

maybe you saw this, worth a read if not, re flasher unit - 2 units in one, faulty and/or possible loose connectors https://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=139409

MI6 and CIA agents lives were put at risk. The computer tracking technology they used was a good advantage until the hackers stole it and published it. Say if the top secret spyware was placed on a suspected ISIS computer by a CIA asset (someone undercover) when the details of this software were leaked then it was easy to find it on a computer and work out who could have installed it manually (not remotely)

one of Bartlett's in there - I bet that is the famous timber faller trying to rehabilitate

The only answer I have is my reply to Squaredy - what if they hack and release details of our secret defense projects and secret agents?

If we had secret bio weapon in dev, why leak good? Some stuff kill the leakers ,agents compromised etc

If a burglar broke in your house and noticed you had hydroponic grow tent and weed, should he be let off if he grasses you up. No pun?

Hacking is as bad as breaking in to a building and lifting documents from a file. Give him full open circuit

What about instead of a fine, forcing him to foot the cost of replanting with biggest trees possible? Apparently the financier JP Morgan paid his men to move 80 foot trees on his plot, something about blocking his neighbours light or view after a dispute iirc

So Brickell, writing about pruning pear is being overly cautious, missing out perfectly good pruning time in April. Between spring and autumn I suppose spring has less pathogenic fungal spores being released

Some of their number probably read these pages. They dont care if their victims hate them. They don't care if theyve cost a person months or years of earnings. All they care about is getting money without having to graft honestly. They probably think people with bricks and mortar are the capitalist pig enemies.

I would have thought this summer the fruiting spurs could be thinned, see e.g Brickell RHS Pruning has photo guide on spur thinning pear. On apple I have picked off new apples to leave fewer big ones. I read somewhere growers will pinch out flowers, but its an act of faith, if tree not pollinated thoroughly

If the scientists could come up with an ethical means of removing just the adult males

It says about good and bad times to prune in the books, I can see you want to impress your new employers, but surely if most advice says, winter, summer, avoid spring then whats the rush? The tree isnt going anywhere

the post above this shows how easy the door locks are and can be replaced with one that has no pick on sale, but the Vehicle is still vulnerable even with the door lock changed, the on board diagnostics OBD port below steering wheel allows starting of the vehicle by bypassing the immobilizer - companies are marketing devices to block the port. eg here. Search Transit OBD blocker. there seems to be 2 sorts a metal box that covers it and a sort that plugs into the port, not sure which is best, but the one below requires a matching tag for the blocker to start the vehicle, presuambly the steel guard boxes could be removed by a determined thief a few minutes googling Transit OBD attack, or Transit OBD protector shows how common this method of stealing vans is, there are no doubt dark web tutorials for the criminals to learn this miserable retarded trade. It's a shame it isn't legal to hunt and kill these criminal primates that ruin people's livelihoods

“Fusion is a major challenge, but one that must be tackled. We believe that with collaboration, dedication and investment, fusion will be the best means of achieving deep decarbonisation of the global energy supply in the 2030s and beyond.” I'm not convinced, but the amount of wires and gadgets on display is impressive. Uk private effort big experiment coming together in France A US one with algorithm work by Google lots of components in the quest to make an artificial Sun

Soldering iron and flux capacitor to tune?

so you've booked the flight and packed the Unicender

I get where you're coming from, but surely there is a psychological element where people don't want to believe in man made pollution and climate change purely because they don't want to feel personally guilty about their own activities? I've got two old smoker vans and I don't feel guilty, because I know that the universe is infinite - so if we cause an apocalypse here there will an be infinite number of similar planets elsewhere that other peoples can enjoy, nothing special about this one, apart from it being ours

Well I for one am not voting Labour - they would compassionately let just about anyone in - if the trend in the figure (from Oxford, not some right wing think tank) continues that is an extra 2m every ten years, a far greater increase than earlier decades. Energy efficient houses with airlocks etc will be the in thing if this news item is to be believed shock horror - no more natural gas in new homes from 2025 wtf. (except hobs, big deal) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-47559920

I liked the quantitative analysis and you do have a point about the impact of having fewer people per house, but when you talk of population decline - it's like you're recoiling in horror at the thought of it. What are the dangers of population decline? Not enough money to pay pensions etc? Danger of being invaded by a more densely populated nation? So I was exaggerating saying the population has nearly doubled since 1911, but it is still an extra 24m. Quite some acreage of building been going on. Can you extrapolate the growth into coming decades without tower blocks on the village green?

I did learn the knot - handy for tidying a lanyard. I don't doubt BigJs ability to build a superior dwelling to what the PLC builders offer - what I am pessimistic about is the idea of taking less profit and offering a bigger garden. You can do that locally, but the idea can't be scaled because of the sheer number of people coming to live in the Uk. If the figures are right net migration since 2000 is average of a quarter million per year, so surely that means another 100 000 new homes approx, just to house new arrivals. Now the issue is with the size of plot for these new arrivals. The countryside has no say in it, only humans do.
