  1. 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.
  2. 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 👍
  3. The Lidl saw has great anti-vibe
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Liberals and lefties are fuming because Trump averted a major war, maybe WW3.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. In English, God, with uppercase G, always refers to the biblical Jehovah, (or Yahweh). So, "which god" is specified, actually. Most people know this.
  10. 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.
  11. Found him! 😀
  12. Trying to find answers....find chuckles instead 😂
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. J, these lists are old news from 2016. Lefties were losing their shit over Trump then, they still are, and nothing really has changed, except the lefties lost their grip on power. The whole conversation that Trump and the conservative movement in general are fascist is played out and cringe.
  16. What percentage of the media footage of the riots is AI fake, and what percentage is real, in your estimation?
  17. If they're in the country illegally, they are criminals. They crossed the border illegally. It's a crime. Europeans would get deported too, if they did this. The left saying are saying its not a crime. Well, the majority begged to differ. Fascists ban the private ownership of firearms. And free speech. And consolidate power centrally. Three things Trump and the wider movement have done the opposite of.
  18. "These idiots waiving Mexican flags during the LA riots just gave Donald Trump the greatest political gift," Republican strategist Matt Wylie, who founded Freedom Project USA, told Newsweek. "It will be 'Exhibit A' as proof of an invasion. Those images have done more in the last few days to strengthen his ability to crackdown on illegal immigration than weeks of messaging ever could." Credit to the photographers, they captured some magnificent shots.
  19. Liberals really love their foreign gangsters. Same psychology that makes sheltered girls go for the abusive bad boys, played out at a macro level.
  20. The rioters are foreigners, destroying American infrastructure under a foreign flag. It's an international matter, outside of the CA governor's remit.
  21. Is the hedgerow part of a domestic property? Exemptions Boundaries of a private garden The hedgerow is within the curtilage of a dwelling house. Or the hedgerow marks the boundary of the curtilage of a dwelling house (this applies to both sides of the hedgerow).
  22. Lefties are still butthurt about their string of failed predictions these ten years past, regarding Trump's future. They keep on getting their hopes dashed that "this will definitely end him" over and again. The man survived a bullet to the head by a fraction of an inch. He's protected by God (or the devil, if you prefer, it makes no practical difference). Epstein files, real or imaginary, will not make any difference. But they'll keep on hoping..
  23. +1 for using old Aspen cans. They are excellent, in fairness.
