That's what the hole is for, tether everything. How about this for a gadget: a telescopic felling lever. Three part, a foot long collapsed, say, 2 foot 6" extended. Thick end has the foot-wedge. Skinny end has a blunt hook. Double duty as a grabbing hook for fishing ropes, branches etc. Make it of fairly heavy gauge fiberglass, foot wedge is aluminum.

Comes in handy the odd time

Ironically, Trump is likely initializing the Great Reset, by causing a global recession. Which will be great for the environment. Less production, less consumption. Every time money changes hands, nature suffers. But are they grateful? No

From Grok. The U.S. exported approximately 3 million tonnes of feed corn to Canada in 2021, with expectations of an additional 2 million tonnes through August 2022, driven by a U.S. bumper crop and Canadian drought. Additionally, 652,000 tonnes of dried distillers grain (a corn byproduct) were imported into Canada from January to November 2021, significantly higher than the average of 365,000 tonnes. Specific data on other livestock feed types or more recent years is less comprehensive, but the U.S. remains a major supplier, with agricultural exports to Canada totaling $30.3 billion in 2024, including grains and feeds..... Buy domestic feed. Change your farming methods. Cope and seeth. There will be pain, but change is inevitable. The administration has 3.5 more years to push the change through and when they're done, the world will be likely be fundamentally reshaped. Like Obama promised, but different.

Environmentalists: what, precisely, do you want us (all) to DO about the crisis/collapse etc? What do you actually want the population to DO? What do you want the government to DO? What do you want "businesses" and "industry" to DO?

There's no climate crisis. There's no environmental collapse. These are propaganda words to induce fear.. a true crisis and collapse is sustained drought where food crops dry up and die. This generally doesn't happen in the northern hemisphere. Even in localised areas where it threatens, we have infrastructure to compensate for this. It's a cult of fear and doom. The right also have a cult of doom, but it's socially focused instead of nature focused. In the Sahel, they're re-greening the desert, with mattocks and spades. The environment there is literally the end state of the doom visions of the greenies - a desert. No plants, no bees, no birds. And yet, millions of people are growing food there.

Awesome 😎 👍. There's another type of portable jumper that ustilises capacitors. It doesn't suffer from the ills that affect long term idle lithium ion or trad batteries and can be charged up by the problematic flat battery. Unless the battery is completely drained, it will change up the capacitor pack in a couple of minutes. Then it delivers the charger back into the batter in one hit, enough to turn the motor a few times. They are not super cheap though.

We don't actually need biodiversity. What we do need is a basic food chain. Look at the most productive agricultural lands - they're monoculture. We need a reliable supply of fertilizer and water, that's all. If the bees collapse we can pollinate with drones. Trust the science.

We will never solve the overconsumption problem until we ban private cars. That's where the overwhelming percent of emissions are coming from. Going electric won't happen, the economy is simply too weak to support it. Our overconsumption will be stopped, either by laws or by an economic depression, it's inevitable.

It's highly suspicious, I won't deny it. But, could also be the Zelenskey curse. Normally takes a year + to activate.

Incidentally, I was listening to The Road To Wigan Pier audiobook on YouTube recently (George Orwell 1937). He gave a shift down a coal mine in the north of England with the miners. In that locality they called the vertebra injuries "buttons", the joke being that only miners have two sets of buttons, one set down the front and one set down the back. Two mile hike bent double to the face, and back, each shift. The hike was considered "travel" and unpaid. Regarding the anti Trump propaganda, the guy in the article was on a six figure income. Maybe he should have invested in some respiratory protection.

Ah, so a big battery. 3,072Wh, does that mean it can produce 3 kilowatts for an hour?

Got to make the most of your wins when they happen, I suppose 😜 So does it mean the Venezuelan gangsters will have to be imprisoned in the US instead?

I'm intrigued. Don't know how the Kommune system works but I'd assume someone with clout on the committee got a bee in their bonnet, without thinking it through. This kind of thing isn't normal in Norway, right?

It's a point. Whisper quiet genie to run a nominal corded saw. Solves the noise issue. If the cord is long enough, maybe solves the oddball rules of the job regarding petrol machines. Not sure the Noway Kommune job would permit the generator, in principle. But the cord is a deal breaker for arb work (in general, depends I suppose).

They serve a niche. Low noise applications, nothing else will do (yeah, manual saws..) Backpack battery, or a dozen batteries, they can do the same job as petrol, at many times the cost of purchase. Some applications, light hedging, pruning, strimming, battery competes quite well. Crosscutting big logs, no, but if it has to be done quietly, then it can be done, for a price.

In Africa they walk miles and miles for a few spindly sticks. We don't appreciate what we have, sometimes..

Incidentally, the UK Supreme Court had a moment of sanity and ruled that women are biological women. Unsurprisingly, The Guardian is disgruntled.

Left wing anarchists consistently slightly outperforming right wingers. Islamists absolutely dominating the field. Weird uptick in "unspecified" since 2018.. (edit - 2016, maybe not so weird).

Just a moment... WWW.CONSILIUM.EUROPA.EU https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/infographics/terrorism-eu-facts-figures/#0

What's the per capeta ratio of native Swedish rapists to foreign born or migrant background rapists, in Sweden? Trump didn't rape anyone. You can flog that fake horse forever, it will never make it be true. Honest people know a political stich up when they see it.

He splits "15 ton" a day. Love the proximity of the rope and spoked wheel, very 19th century.

Islam isn't a race

I started in the woods at 9 years old. We used to grind stumps by hand back then, with a mattock and bar. A bag of rice, a tin can and a box of matches, that's what the old man would give us to live on for three weeks while we felled a hundred ton each - minimum, and ground the stumps. The hardest of work, lads.. But it was honest work.
