It was fake news, apparently. But, understandably, quote believable, given the reality of the past ten years or so.

They're migrating from France, Eggs. Have you ever been to France? It's a terrible place. Minorities (and yes, 14% of the population is a minority) are brutally oppressed there. They seek dignity and safety from the French state, in the UK. Why can't you understand this?? Have a heart, man.

Everything is predictable a ways off. When the clouds darken we expect rain. The issue is not lack of foresight, it's lack of will to change behavior today. Same principal applies to individuals and the collective. Recent history is replete with great examples of this "sin of sloth". Take the second Trump election. The establishment had all the good evidence their woke direction was leading to failure at the box, but they ran the woke candidate all the same. Another glaring example is Ukraine. The conclusion was set in stone at the start. All it took was a quick look at the known figures, military capacity, manpower, resources etc and an honest appraisal of the geopolitical alliances. Yet another example, Covid. Yet another example, Tories. Yet another example, Labour. Yet another example, green energy.

Chocker slings around the limb and stand your feet in the loops?

Ali claims to be selling mini skids, mini diggers, mini loaders and mini telehandlers for under a grand, free delivery. This can't be real, right?

It's the hypocrisy that gets me.. liberals who are generally all about "sexual freedom", lowering the age of consent (for voting as well), kiddies rights to cuddle with strange men in drag clown outfits, porn books on the curriculum and so on... suddenly become outraged puritanical nannies, when it suits their agenda. Remember Whoopie and "It wasn't rape rape" when she defended Polanski for literally drugging and abusing a thirteen year old. Same liberals who thought Diddy parties were right-on, until they weren't. Same liberals who stick their fingers in their ears when Ashley Biden outed her dad as her childhood abuser. And the weird thing is, I've actually had this argument with real liberals in real life, who I know personally. Bemoaning Roman Polanski's conviction because they just like his work. The moral outrage is just pure fakery.

Just saw this on Ali Express. The real Akimbo is nearly €500 from Honey Brothers. I'm not going to buy this, or an Akimbo, just curious if anyone has tried the Ali version and what do we think about it? The skeletonized cut-out near the top seems weird to me.

Very gratifying.

I thought free logs were a thing a few years ago (10?) Talking fresh, unsplit logs.. has the market changed then?

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.

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

The important thing is everyone "saved face"...😐

Who's they? Force how? What problem solved? Define solved?

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.

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..

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.

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.

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 👍

The Lidl saw has great anti-vibe

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.

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.

Liberals and lefties are fuming because Trump averted a major war, maybe WW3.
