Probably the WHO, all the sheep like listening to their masters as they slowly pour just enough gruel into the trough to make them feel listened to.
-
Still in the box with the safety glasses
-
Well, having a "Kiln" would be a start. Seasoned maybe, but you might be pushing it for February unless you've the covered outdoor space
-
That's not how you drug test the staff 😉
-
Turn up with a Makita, just for a laugh
-
Old petrol & diesel absorb water from the air due to the ethanol content in petrol and HVO in diesel. Diesel gets bacterial bloom, don't see why petrol couldn't over a long period of time.
-
Ask if they rent them for the course, no point buying a small saw just for the course if you need 18". Most places do rent them, plus you'll find if your Stihl or Husqvarna
-
Isn't new, we did it with inflatable tanks, fake lights near big cities etc. Granted you might need to fake a magnetic and heat signature these days.
-
If you remember your history, digging a fortified trench didn't work particularly well for the french.
-
Plus all plastics do age with both UV and petrol as it's a solvent, more noticeable with diesel and even kerosene as that's even more aggressive. I've got yellow drums that are almost brown lugging diesel to small equipment.
-
Petrol is not a clear colour, but most also likely absorbed oil from the last mix you had in the can once it got warm and the oils become more fluid.
-
It's just common sense, I don't sit crying in a corner cowering about the thought of a zombie apocalypse either. If fear porn is your bag, I'm sure your frapping off to BBC news 24/7.
-
Just stop the chicken little sky is falling fear porn BS, the big nuclear stick will NEVER EVER be used again. Maybe play a little less COD. Or do you also sit awake at night worrying about chemical or biological weapons or false flag stuff?.
-
Why does anybody or animal want more territory. Food & Resources usually. Unless it's political uprising as historically you could say it was a soviet satellite state as Crimea was Russian speaking etc.
-
Nah, it's a huge country I'm sure getting paid in USA dollar or Euros they'll fight. Might even be a tactic to let them get captured, makes the enemy use more logistics & resources which are what win or lose a war. It's the modern equivalent of wounding not killing the enemy, it ties up more resources. Something like 5 to one vs 1 dead and a unit of still fighting enemies.

From what I've gleaned over the years it was mostly a Cuba style missiles on our doorstep that pushed things over the edge. Not the greatest argument when you can fire a missile on any point on the planet but you can understand the mindset, a man with a missile Vs a man blowing you a raspberry with a rifle. Both are IMO utter cnuts, I have no objections about standard munitions, but in WW2 it was lend lease on everything including the ships. Or as my mother pointed out the scruffy oik didn't even wear a shirt for the WW2 commemorates.
-
You can't mitigate or even protect from a hypersonic missile, low collateral damage is a bonus. It's like armour piercing on a tank, it'll get through whatever is in its way. I'm neither to be honest, in most conflicts there is no winner. All your really doing is feeding the big business of the arms industry. With the reality being, how are you going to both save face and Boris slapped that down on who's orders we don't know. OTAN is useless and you can't have a Cyprus style DMZ, so make it the Crimean river as the world can't keep paying billions for a proxy war. What other alternative is there, well you could say back to the old border, but then it's a land border with what a Korea style mined DMZ ?.
-
So what you're saying is it was one of those low signature Australian made cardboard drone planes, which would still require satellite data as a drone is about 10km, unless they're using the mobile phone network?. Which are pretty much undetectable, but again they'll have their revenge.
-
And who's missile, it's certainly wasn't built, designed or fired by the Ukrainians. Which begs the question, how many others we're fired, intercepted and what are they going to do in retaliation as they'll choose a moment. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and to quote Red October. "Russians Dont Take A Dump, Son, Without A Plan"
-
Poor argument, Russia would have the tactical advantage of being able to intercept and destroy the missile and the launcher as the bases are a long way inside Russia. Plus, if Ukraine fired the missiles they would need other countries to help. As they are not fire and forget, requiring realtime satellite data. Which would effectively an act of war via whomever helped. Supplying munitions is a lot different than missiles, airplanes and the pilots unless it's the Swiss guard as they're technically a militia.
-
And where are these F16 planes based ?. If I was Putin, I would be tracking them all the way home and tactically bunker busting each one as a statement of fly in our airspace and you'll pay the price.
-
Plenty comes up when you search Jonsered AT 1A.
-
Not read about it, but by the same logic. Why would the secret service allow anyone close to the plane ?. If you're in the military you can freely wander around a military base, you're still not allowed in certain areas without security clearance.
-
Size down, the sizes are a bit generous. Same with length, I always have to buy longer length but regular would have been fine.
-
What about one of those hook loader setups, allows you to mix and match especially if you've got the tractor. Plus a decent sized hook loader skip should take a digger without it being too tall, unlike the usual idiots with a trailer and the digger being like 18ft+ squeezing under bridges.
