Two strokes inherently have lower compression pressures than 4 strokes so there is less tendency to detonate, hence they can run on lower octane fuels. High octane fuels have less calories than low ones so economy can be slightly less.

Especially if the damaged part can be returned and refunded

Aha a challenge I had a try today and the result was closer than I expected, so probably not significant. I took a before picture and somehow deleted it but here is the after with the one piece (bottom left) left over that did not fit the frame where they all had prior to splitting.

I'm no chemist but agree burning chlorinated hydrocarbons will produce various dioxins so avoid cling film. The other point I would make is the flame in a wood stove is a diffuse flame, it gets all its oxygen from air that diffuses into the flame from the outside. This limits how much oxygen can get in to burn the flame out. Natural gas in a boiler burns with a pre mixed flame, the fuel and air are intimately mixed before entering the flame so burn out completely in the flame. If you have a heap of plastic as it melts and volatilises the offgas produced needs to meet sufficient oxygen but it cannot and hence the hydrogen element burns off and the carbon is given off as soot. If you set light to a thin film of polythene it burns with a blue flame, because sufficient oxygen diffuses in, as it gets hotter yellow flames appear and burning droplets (zorch) fall and burn giving off soot. I do tear off smallish piece of bubble wrap and mix with newspaper to start the fire sometimes but mostly use a quarter fire lighter.

No planting but I did do some guerrilla pruning of self seeded oak because I wanted to see a clear butt rather than the knotty scrubby trees that result from most widely spaced planting. Seeing the results now I wish I had gone higher.

Nor did I outside of railway work. One of the reasons for type c is that a chain may catch the fabric and drag it round before the chain stops with fibers jamming the sprocket.

...and another

Yes as long as that 25% pays for your share of the public services you will use. My main gripe with tax is that it mostly provides sinecures for the LA and Civil service management rather than value for money, not to mention MP's pay.

Well if you do the prep watch out for those cup wire brushes that fit on an angle grinder, I ended up with a wire stuck in my fore arm.

How much for a scan of the hull for thickness of remaining steel, I don't know much about it but it was done on Isabella before my mate bought her and continuous cruised for 5 years. She was sold in the summer and he lives in a bungalow now.

Yes and the teeth edge only overlap to the drive link so the cut is wider than the cutter by at least the gauge of the steel.

It would be interesting to measure the gauge of the steel the cutter was stamped from too as this would be an additional tiny reduction. Mind I am only hypothesising on the logic with no practical experience of narrower gauge chain.

Nor me. Interestingly I will receive energy payments, possibly in excess of the gas and electricity I buy.

Not to mention the lower welfare standards allowed for animals in the countries we import meat from, which is also an extra cost to production here.

Assuming the cutters were the same the 0.3mm reduction in drive link width would result in 0.3mm narrower kerf.

24m3 but you are right, because no one country will unilaterally tax plane fuel for fear of damaging the aero industry which is an important part of the economy

Yes for most but also most of us pay 20% income tax on the top end of our income so in effect the government takes 9%?? NI then 20% then 20% of the remainder

He didn't say no tax but that the form of tax would change, the government would still end up with the 30%?? of GDP to pay for services but it would come from tax on goods. I believe we need wealthier people, both to incentivise and to occupy the fancier houses that service industries exist for. I also believe much of the problems of the planet derive from the super riches spending habits. Of course in practice it will need a range of carrots and sticks.

Aha a challenge

That's right and the reason I now have 3 vertical dividers in my logshed, so I can start refilling as I use the first bay. I never keep wood for two summer seasons as all species dry enough in one if split.

If you think about it this is always the case; the current economic activity supports all pensions as well as all the wealth differentials.

Yup my non crystallised part of my SIP fell by 15% over the lat year, factor in 10% inflation and it is even worse. I doubt I will ever need it as I can manage on the state pension plus the part of the private pension I drew but it was something I was leaving for my daughter to distribute among the grandchildren if I die before reaching 75, because it would be unaffected by IHT. I lost my job suddenly so I only reached half my target fund anyway but the bankers and financial bods who run these pension schemes are the only winners. I wonder if a few sovs buried in the garden may not be a better bet when we have financial turmoil like this.

As one who only climbed with simple knots or a shunt it is interesting how expensive these aids are. I take it some of the cost is due to the many recalls we seem to hear about/

I agree and that last bit is interesting; normally when you break down a log all the pieces take up more space. In the case of a uniformly round ring on its side and "square" stacked side by side and one vertically over another then there is about 25% air space, if they are stacked diagonally with the top layer resting on the space between two logs it drops to <10%. It would be close but a well built stack of wedges of split logs could be between the two.

That looks like bacterial slime flux but the "root" cause may be that the soil level has been raised because that soil to butt junction doesn't look right.
