Bike powered electricity generators are not sustainable WWW.LOWTECHMAGAZINE.COM Pedaling a modern stationary bicycle to produce electricity might be a great work-out, but in many cases, it is not... One way to solve the large energy losses of pedal power generators is not to produce electricity at all but power devices mechanically, whenever possible. Pedal powered water pumps, threshers, blenders, tile makers and more WWW.MAYAPEDAL.ORG Maya Pedal is a Guatemalan NGO based in San Andreas Itzapa. We accept bikes donated from the USA and Canada...

Maybe.....🙂 But all wild ivy species( i think?) have (as mentioned already) the ability of growing two types of leaves on the same plant as the second type of leave are associated with the flowers/berries? Though ive noticed the variagated garden cultivar ones don't seem to ever flower they just climb? Have a look at theese different ivy species distribution maps.... https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2745.2005.01021.x Theopharastus view is still a commonly held one......

Does the NE have much in rotation hazel coppice for the binders etc? So the local style sounds similar to Lancs. & Westmorland ?

I don't know much about hedge laying but can't see why people traditionally would of being regional purists, as surely form follows function, so they would of done what worked best as stock barrier or to suit each individual situation with the use of local materials available? So I think go for practical magpie. http://treesplease.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Trees-Please-Hedge-Laying-and-Coppicing-Guidance-2.pdf

Iiana phobes! 🙂 Don't forget all the ash that is dying from adb will often end up covered in ivy as the crown thins. Same for any other tree species struggling with the plethora of new tree diseases around atm. Maybe ivy is the canary down coal mine?

Ivy has benefited from climate change I reckon just from personal observation of its prevalance in hedges Study on Ivy: https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fee.2266 UK has 2 natives sub species of ivy apparently: Hedera helix ssp. helix and Hedera helix ssp. hibernica. Same as with there being two different hawthorns types As for it being a urgent threat think its not that bad compared to other things happening etc? Not as if its triffids? 😏

Im not convinced all teeth being the same length is as crtical as its often its made out to be, as long as the teeth are all sharpened at the right angles. (& as long as its not all one side is shorter than the other perhaps....). As getting all teeth same length would mean taking them all down if some get damaged? Have a few chains which have lost a couple of teeth completely and I think cut as well as the new ones maybe even abit better as the shorter worn teeth seem to help clear the chip faster. Still the markings may helpful with getting the angles right regardless of being used to get matching teeth length....

Suppose a pyramids scheme is lucrative as long as you not the sucker holding when the whole thing collapses Morally esp with regards to enviromental impact seems very dubious though. Have you seem thoose massive cryptomines in central asia? (Also policew raiding the illegal ones) Its like something from a dystopian sci fi film... Inside Kazakhstan's giant crypto-mine WWW.BBC.CO.UK Kazakhstan is now the world's second biggest crypto-currency mining country, thanks partly to a vast mine in the desert.

Thats not what ive read it may be marketing bull though... Couldn't get an expensive new SS henckels knife as sharp as a old carbon sabateir one or to stay sharp as long. Henckels is regarded and sold as a expensive quality brand but they rate it poorly on this chart? Steel Types THESHARPCHEF.CO.UK There are two main categories of steel, Carbon steel and Stainless steel. Most knives fall in to one of these... Other online sources saying similar but they are trying to flog japanese carbon steel ones. Also many pro chefs still using carbon apparently? Also my opinel carbone stays sharper longer than a more expensive SS pen knife I have.....
