  1. Very gratifying.
  2. I thought free logs were a thing a few years ago (10?) Talking fresh, unsplit logs.. has the market changed then?
  3. Democrats have collapsed: The US Democratic Party rating has reached a 30-year low — Wall Street Journal ▪️The approval rating of the US Democratic Party has dropped to its lowest level in the past 30 years. This is reported by the WSJ citing its own poll. ▪️According to the data, 63% of voters have a negative view of the Democrats, while only 33% have a positive view. For comparison, the negative perception rating of the Republican Party exceeds the positive by only 11%, and for Trump by 7%. ▪️Only 8% of Americans described the DNC as "very positive," whereas the figure for Republicans is more than twice as high (19%) ▪️WSJ adds that despite criticism of Trump on issues of the economy, inflation, tariffs, and foreign policy, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on all these topics ▪️Democrats maintain an advantage in only 2/10 areas: healthcare and vaccination. According to sociologist John Anzalone, the DNC has lost so much trust that it is unable to be an effective opposition.
  4. There's nothing in the Epstein files to damage Trump. How do I know? The Biden DOJ would have leaked the material to Bork Trump in the runup to 2025. They didn't. Because there was nothing there. They had to resort to literal assassination instead. Sorry libs, the Epstein files are copium
  5. The important thing is everyone "saved face"...😐
  6. Who's they? Force how? What problem solved? Define solved?
  7. Vibration is a oscillation X speed. Electric tools should have virtually no vibration in principal, unless the motor/bearings are is damaged. It's always the attachment that induces vibration. Grinders run super high rpm. If the disk is even slightly out of balance there is vibration. If the disk is perfectly balanced there should be no vibration. Petrol tools oscillate by nature, due to the crank and piston system. Electric saws have no inherent vibration in the motor and the chain speed (attachment) is low rpm and low mass, therefore no vibration from the attachment (unless damaged, missing teeth, improperly filed etc). Long reach hedge cutters are notorious for vibration as there are oscillating elements at both ends of the shaft. Any shafted tool can produce vibration of one or more of the shaft bearings goes bad. My 131 pole saw developed a bad bearing, it now vibrates so much it heats my gloved hand on the trigger handle within seconds, from the friction of glove material moving with the handle.
  8. Best type of tick tweezers, the slightly curved ones. The hook ones are more for engorged ticks on pets. The finer tte point the better. I acquired some from a surgical supply place and they could still use some sharpening. Can't be pointy enough. They do good for ticks, excellent for embedded thorns, blackthorn, briar etc. better than digging out with a needle, I can nearly go straight in and grab the thorn most times. Sold as I grown hair tweezers..
  9. I researched it - all the freeze sprays, wart and tick, are Dimethyl Ether. The tick, having such a small mass, should be flash frozen solid rapidly.
  10. 2013, happy, innocent times..😌 What are we wearing these days? I just bought a batch of the latest Lidl Parkside work pants, polyester stretch fabric, cordura knees with pad slots, sturdy belt loops, comfey and fast drying for €15, bloody great value. Bought a "cheap" softshell jacket from a hardware store for €35 recently, decent light rain protection, very breathable. Found a €55 work boot I like in a local shop, bought a second pair for rotation. No goretex but good water resistance, no sweating, no chafing, great insoles. The quality of cheap work wear seems to be really good at present.
  11. Interesting. Might make sense if the freezing also freezes the saliva/vomit before it has a chance to inject it. Maybe ticks respond differently to cold and don't vomit? Could be the way forward, I will look into it 👍
  12. The Lidl saw has great anti-vibe
  13. I read the latest medical advice is no twist, just straight out with slow steady pull. And use the proper tick tweezers. Don't aggrevate the tick so it burrows deeper, and don't apply chemicals to stun it, as they can also make the tick vomit and introduce Lyme's.
  14. Permethrin. In Canada the outdoor people treat their clothes with a wash-in product based on permethrin. It stays in the fabric for months. Same chemical that's in the pet treatments, or close to it. Same stuff as what's in sheep dip. Same as the active chemical in fly spray, ant powder etc. If it can't be got, fly spray should do the same job, temporarily. Just spray on pants, inside and out, and let it dry. Kills ticks on contact. Dangerous for cats when wet.
  15. Liberals and lefties are fuming because Trump averted a major war, maybe WW3.
  16. Germany is the country to consult for suspected Lyme's. The medical system takes it seriously there and has accurate tests for it, you can order a test kit from them, not cheap. Don't wait for your clueless doctor to get around to diagnosing it, heard too many stories about three docs and a dozen tests later before it was flagged, etc etc.
  17. Hope it's true. Asbestos is a miracle mineral, no substitute comes close. I wouldn't insulate my home with asbestos wool, but for certain applications its return would be a boon. They should bring back DDT as well. The whole global south are still using it and their bird populations haven't collapsed. It's all about proper use case.. I don't know why they haven't got the ethanol out of petrol yet, that would have been my first project, if I was POTUS.
  18. In English, God, with uppercase G, always refers to the biblical Jehovah, (or Yahweh). So, "which god" is specified, actually. Most people know this.
  19. More blacks voted for Trump than in 2016. And way more Hispanics. Nearly 50% of Hispanics voted for him. If the hysteria about his alleged racism reflected reality, they wouldn't have voted for him in bigger numbers. Reality wins.
  20. Found him! 😀
  21. Trying to find answers....find chuckles instead 😂
  22. Wikipedia is leftist biased. No, he's not a fascist. Arresting people for silently praying and posting memes and coercing injections with job loss and house arrest is fascistic. Britain is fascistic, in some respects, under the current Labor government. Most of the blue stat governors were and are fascistic. Being "a fascist" as a general ideological position is quite different to doing sporadic fascistic type things. If the isolated things become so frequent and normalized that they join up and crowd out the "normal" stuff, then I suppose one could say s state had gone fascist. Or communist. Totalitarian. Calling Trump fascist is intellectually dishonest. A citizen in a red state under Trump has considerably more liberty than citizens of many other Western states. Some of the fascistic offences committed by the Obama and Biden administrations have been cancelled, and leftists perceive this as fascistic. Because they think their own fascistic stuff is really fluffy and cool. It boils down to calling whatever we don't like, fascist.
  23. If it's anything like "adverse possession" in Irish law, which is quite parallel with British law, you have to be the sole occupier for 12 years. After that time you apply for legal possession. Then the court puts out word of application and invites challenges. If anyone, even a member of the public, has accessed the land in 12 years without permission, and can prove it, the application fails. How this works with fences and trespass I do not know. There was a case where an absentee guy owned a field and some other guy fenced it and claimed possession. The original owner got wind of it and took time stamped photos from the main road inside of the 12 year deadline. His challenge was successful because the land parcel actually extended to the median of the main road, so, even though there was a fence on the land, it was not a property boundary in law.
