  1. Might be gauging fuel usage by nominal 10HP tick over or something. Maybe the 59HP one can be made to produce that if you crank the revs up?
  2. Probably right. I wish I was redneck enough to build one myself...
  3. Possibly for the same reason most small tractors aren't 100hp. Car HP and industrial HP are kind of different. Compare a 600HP bulldozer engine to a 600HP sports car engine. Stick the sports car engine in the bulldozer, and it will power it just fine... For a couple of hours. Then it will burn out. Whereas the proper bulldozer engine will run at 80% full output all day long, every day, for decades. Heavier block, lower revs, more torque, just built differently. On a smaller scale, compare a 5.5HP 55cc chainsaw motor with a 5.5HP 200cc B&S lawnmower motor. Same HP, but four times the displacement. Four times the torque, a quarter of the revs, lasts four times as long, doing the same work. The trade off is weight. HP for HP industrial motors tend to be heavier.
  4. Got a speck in my eye this afternoon. Eye cup didn't work. Wife couldn't find it. At my wits end, I could feel it rattling around under the upper lid. Filled one of these with warm water, grabbed the lash and pulled the lid away from the eyeball, and squirted the contents upward into the gap between eyeball and lid, over the basin. Had to do it three times, third time it worked! Will have one in the first aid kit in the van from now on.
  5. Vehicular lithium ion cells are the ubiquitous 18650. They are retired when their capacity isn't good enough to run an EV anymore, but they still have plenty of charge cycles left for repurpose into domestic energy storage etc. I heard the actual cell is hard to recycle but then also heard there is a cost effective way to do it now..
  6. Try hanging upside down for five minutes every evening before supper. Ideally by the ankles with a proper inversion table, but results can also be achieved by inverting in a climbing harness. Relax and let the weight of the head and arms gentle stretch the spine. Not much good for elbow or shoulder, but very beneficial for the back, especially the lower back.
  7. It'll be just fine like that. But remember to always fully unreel it before use or it could overheat.
  8. He's got a new machine. Very arb. https://youtu.be/0e4jjL5bTbY
  9. It says they cannot enter a "private dwelling house". I would think this extends to a domestic property (ie. not a "premesis")... Anyway, it's horticulture whether you're doing it for yourself or being paid to do it for someone else.
  10. There's a guy near me who went in near paralyzed with a back problem (Ireland). Stuck on a trolly in a corridor for six hours and nobody would take him to the toilet to pee. He was in agony and ended up phoning 999 for an ambulance. Obviously, the resulting confusion and drama was legendary... They helped him use the toilet after that...
  11. Run them through conduits. Chase, run cable through conduit - 1 for each cable - and then glue the conduits into the chasings with liberal amounts of Tek7 or similar and clips. No sharp bends. There shouldn't ever be a problem with the cables, the terminations, maybe. Conduits must be amply large to allow the terminations to slide through them, like HDMI etc.
  12. Put the box somewhere else, not behind the tv, and chase the wires from the box to the tv into the wall and fill and paint. Install the burner first then do the tv?
  13. Nobody in the rest of the world gives a toss about our example. It's a hoax always was. Figure it out now or later, eventually. It was always about western governments taking control of the entire energy sector and by extension the economy and society.
  14. I believe plans are afoot to mount sails on some cargo ships to help reduce fuel consumption. I saw an article about it somewhere. I read about that some years ago. They were trialing sails on oil tankers. The sails were essentially huge parachutes deployed when the wind was favorable, no masts or anything or ability to sail against the wind. They were retractable when not in use. I'm guessing there were issues with the mechanics and possible safety of the system. The crews of these massive boats are quite small, and not really sailors in the traditional sense.
  15. That's a spring. Loads of them around me. They were also used for keeping things cool.
  16. There's a balance point somewhere between industrial revolution level polluting and complete cessation of industry and economy. Seems like our governments are aiming for the latter. Not by forbidding it, but by loading expenses and regulations on the producer sector to the point it becomes financially unsustainable.
  17. Is the ozone hole still around?
  18. Clue is in the title, no?
  19. Global warming is where atheists park their existential guilt. A religion without a god.
  20. Whatever you get, go for the sectional fiberglass poles. Will be more money, but very handy for pulling stuck branches with a hook on the end. Safe around electric, probably find other uses for them too. And will hold some of their value as well.
  21. Hard to tell but looks like the peeled the door or sommat?
  22. In the cases where long-standing friendships were sundered it was more than disagreement, guaranteed. Totally different and irreconcilable understanding of reality, I would say, which kind of does preculde friendship of any but the most superficial kind. Essentially, a feeling of betrayal.
  23. Huh. I've a couple. Switching doesn't seem to bother them at all. I'd say your controller unit is playing up.
  24. It's bordering on a fetish, tbh.
