I'm absolutely no expert on the subject, but I believe that it's usp is that if the power goes out it cools down and becomes safe as opposed to a lack of cooling water causing melting down and getting like ****************u shima + no serious radioactive waste... but of course no Plutonium.. what a feckin shame.

That's a sound I very much like to hear👍

It's a pity imo that there really is no joined up thinking when it comes to providing sustainable energy for this country which was once at the sharp end of technology. It seems that China are in the process of trialling a Thorium reactor atm, and a few others are at last planning the same... in my opinion that's the route we could easily have taken decades ago if we hadn't had the need to make ourselves a target for nuclear aggression.. which couldn't be more apt in todays world run by assholes. Cheers, 😁

Well spotted, rope or cable 2/3rds up on closer inspection.

This👍 Plus I think the op will need more than 1 new file to remove enough material to rescue both these chains, depending on the brand.

I'll say first that I'm also fairly bothered about just what crap about keeping ourselves warm may be messed with in the near future. But in quoting you, to me this is the nub of every agenda that's pushed by government, whose 'leaders' imo are only bought and paid for puppets receiving their orders from larger interests. Confusing each and every issue in the seemingly endless stream of current disaster 'distractions' with the intent of creating as much division as possible would appear to be their main business... just look at the last few years. As for quoting science or scientists, well that's wearing a bit thin too.. only the very small percentage of these people that can't be influenced should be given any credence, and we all know how they get treated in this new world that's filled with fragile minds so eager to believe the complete nonsense / hysteria spread by a social media ' Idiocrasy '. There are many types of pollution that I'd put above the small amount of smoke particulates in the air, and in saying this I've spent my whole life breathing wood smoke... ... processed low value food, drink and pharmaceuticals for a start, but I don't see any of that coming under scrutiny... others may disagree, but that's ok.. common sense is getting more unpopular by the day🙄

Exactly the same for me, to the extent that locally there's no point in talking politics.

Is that not the idea😂

That's absolutely fair enough It's not what I took from a quick glance at the picture. I watched a very interesting documenatry about the Sami recently👍

Looking at the naive braiwashed children in the foreground speaks volumes.

Aye, it's great for smoking but you've got to take the bark off first or it makes the food bitter👍

Great video, so enjoyably casual for an unguarded machine👍

Whilst I would agree that the understanding and being able to control of the building blocks of Nature will likely be fundamental to our future, if we have a future... I'd have to say that our infantile use of a technology which we barely understand, inside the closed system that is our biosphere is reckless beyond belief and will almost without doubt be our undoing.. and will expose the same fate to every other living creature on the planet..🙄 ..

very nice👍

Simples.. Stop small greedy minds fecking with everything that really matters... do it OFF WORLD or don't do it at all... this spherical petri dish floating in a vacuum really doesn't need any more totally uncontrolled poisoners or the digital infiltration of the previous organic' process of counting '...that was called evolution. I'm a very big advocate of the { mostly hidden from us } golden ratio or Fibonacci number sequence which describes all of nature and science and everything in the universe perfectly... It's how your crops grow.. I'm sure you know this🙄

Yep.

What about ****************ushima, pouring 100 tons of plutonium contaminated cooling water into the Pacific every day for the last 12 years.. the half life of which is 24.1 thousand years. And it seems now they are just going to dump millions of tons of similar debris into the Pacific .. do we have a feckin say ?? The dots said ****************ushima before it was censored It's a fecking joke when you can't say the truth..

Well you've hit the nail right on the head.. Answer... thick as f%ck tw$ts running everything for decades👎

Aye, I totally agree with you on that.. it's just that I realised that I hadn't answered your question..

I wouldn't be surprised if these piles were put in by the afore mentioned Glasgow company' Murray's ' in the 70's or 80's. I'll also be interested to hear how @nooie gets on milling this stuff.. I'm very jealous😁

Just out of curiosity.. what are you replacing them with, new greenheart piles?

Aye, apologies for not addressing the question. It would seem from a quick search that most of the shingles available are a bi-product of the Canadian BC lumber industry, although I did find this company advertising 'home grown' in the UK shingles.

Hi, my village on the West coast of the Highlands was originally a forestry village with typical forestry type houses which are / were roofed with Cedar shingles. As a friend and neighbour of mine has such a roof { maybe 60 ish years old } I can say that the shingles available today and back then are sawn as opposed to traditionally cleft.. the basic forestry house back in the day was , believe it or not, a 2x2" kit clad with Larch so I'd expect that the very light roof would have been a necessity of this skimpy design. With a quick search you'll find that shingles are readily available.. but regardless of that perhaps you might enjoy watching this video of the traditional craft, cheers.

Aye, it's a very interesting alternative to alloy welding, but just bear in mind that it's essentially a type of high melting point solder, and although it creates a very strong repair it will just run away in a flash if overheated. Imo the best way to repair any bust Alloy is a TIG weld with the correct rod, and on very small items this is a [ very worthwhile ] skill that's only learned through much practice. What HTS 2000 is to me, is a practical method of repairing things that I would previously considered to be scrap... for instance small broken off lugs on carbs that can be recast in situe and seamlessly repaired, or just the ability to ' solder ' pot metal things that really can't be welded... It's Achilles heal is the simple fact that if the repair ever gets heated up beyond a certain temp.. it will just melt away. Loads of vids on YouTube showing off the impressive possible uses of this now ' not so new ' techniche for repairing / joining non ferrous things. cheers.

Aye, me too.. I've just got this vision of some guy up a tree with a near bare arse, the crotch of his type c's at his knees [ to be fashionable] 'jail style' and only his cock holding up his pants🤣
