  1. Hitachi - sometimes they sell the 9 inch and the 4-1/2 inch together for €120 or thereabouts. Good deal, great tools
  2. Leprechaun system: have some broken saws lying around, but put away nicely so it looks like they are working tools, also with a chain through the handles. Keep the real machines somewhere else. Many of us will never be robbed, so full on Knox level security might be jumping the gun. In the event of theft, the dummy saws will be taken, and as we know, crims like to hit the same place again, and they will be wize to the switch the next time - So ramp up to max security before it happens again. If you never get done over, great, you saved a pile of money.
  3. Yeah but Trump is going to deregulate the health insurance sector, generating competition so everyone can afford a plan, even the poor. The rehabilitation of the industrial sector, cheaper energy via new pipelines, etc, will create more jobs for poor people, thus allowing them to once again take personal responsability for their healthcare. Sweden is the rape and suicide capital of Europe, by the way - just saying.
  4. So...it's been a week. TPP axed. Muslim ban a-gogo. "Negotiations" with Mexico underway. Abortion Industry hammered. Sanctuary Cities capitulating...climate change off the menue...Obamacare on the way out. All in one week. Enjoying your Schadenfreude?
  5. You could also get a climbing harness, learn to climb, and grow your vegetables in the oak tree, in flexi-buckets hanging from the branches. They will be safer that way, from animals, get more light, and have better air circulation to prevent mildew.
  6. You could try using mirrors to reflect light into the tunnel. Or just grow mushrooms.
  7. So, he just took the axe to TPP. Action promised - satisfaction delivered. This is just the beginning. This is an unusual one, turns out Alex Jones has an apartment next to Ted Cruz in WashingtonDC and never realised it. [ame] [/ame]
  8. I don't have anything against the establishment per se, there's always going to be some kind of establishment, just don't want them to be evil scheming crooks and traitors to the common man, thats all. Just came upon a little riddle - in his address he mentions the columns in the hall and suggests he builds the CIA a larger better room: "— A LARGER ROOM. [APPLAUSE] AND MAYBE, MAYBE IT WILL BE BUILT BY SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS HOW TO BUILD, AND WE WON’T HAVE COLUMNS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? WE GET RID OF THE COLUMNS." Maybe there were spooks sitting behind the columns who couldn't see him, but there could also be a hidden meaning here: The Seven Pillars Of Islam. (or sometimes five pillars, depending) John O. Brennan, the CIA director, soon to be replaced - rumours that he converted to Wahhabist Islam while he was CIA station chief in Riyadh. Its going to be a good year for conspiracy theories!
  9. That is exactly how I feel - all the the current elite mince their worlds so finely there aint no nutrition in them anymore. Everything is scripted, rehearsed - we never see the human soul beneath the facade. The only way to gauge them is by the results of their actions, and when that becomes clear the propaganda corps spin the toxic fallout into gold. I loved every minute of Trump's CIA address. We see a true human being - full of humour, resentment, earnestness, confidence and hope all mixed together, just like in real life. Its frightening how brainwashed many of us have become, that we can't recognise a genuine personality anymore - and actually prefer the plastic fakery of professional politicians? Judging by the applause and laughter I think the Spooks enjoyed the address as well. I like to think I can distinguish canned laughter from a spontaneous response.
  10. I read somewhere they are working on a new reactor technology that will replace hydrocarbon and nuclear (after we exhaust the earth's reserves of coal and uranium). Apparently its a cold fusion reaction of progressive butthurt and liberal tears that equals nuclear in heat output. Sustainable power for the next few centuries, at least.
  11. On the 4 meter cinema screen in my home theater. I dictate my posts via my several "secretaries" while I have my morning foot massage and during the day my PA checks periodically and keeps me updated on interesting posts, and reads them to me while I play golf or whatever.
  12. And what if you have made a mistake and he represents them as he promised? And is widely hailed as the best POTUS in recent history? Let's check back a week from now and see where we are then. Im betting money your Schadenfruede will evaporate before your eyes. I look forward with more than a smidgen of relish to your continuing butthurt
  13. Anybody been watching the freak-out videos of the inauguration "protestors"? This one has gone viral - the lady has been identified as one Jessica Starr (shortly to achieve immortality as a meme). The way she looks up at the last minute, just to cheek if the camera is one her for her big freakout performance. A fraud, but maybe genuine at the same time - wallowing in the attention and self indulgence like a toddler having a tantrum. Bought and paid for by Ernst Stavro Blofeld, er, I mean George Soros. Sad. Just sad. [ame] [/ame]
  14. Hahahahahaha! The left will not go gently into that good night - they will rage against the dying of the light (as they see it). To us bigoted gullible folks it's the breaking of the dawn. The door is always open if you change your mind guys - as President Trump said "When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice"
  15. This is actually the same principle as the very first chainsaw - a surgical instrument invented as an improvement on the traditional bone saw which removed fragments of bone from the cut instead of driving them back and fourth.
  16. Had a bit of a confrontation (not really) on the beach this morning. A Mexican American sand artist had done a tribute to The Donald early in the morning, so I drove up to see him in action, since I was in the area, and bought a rake with me in case he wanted a hand. By the time I got there he had done the artwork and gone, and some other fecker had just finished raking it over! I engaged him in conversation, in a friendly manner, and he said he didn't like it that the artist had used "our beach" to make a political statement. Anyway, he finished his vandalism, and then raked a massive "**** Trump" next to the deleted artwork. As he was slouching off to his car, I got out my own rake and pointedly walked past him, down to the beach, and put two big lines through his "****" and wrote my own slogan: "Freedom Of Speech - Go The Donald!!" As I was completing my counter statement, some local pillar of the community approached me and I told him what had just gone down. He said he didn't approve of Trump and was sick and tired of right wing extremism. As I was heading back to the car I noticed that he had changed my SPEECH to SBEACH. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde - I wish I'd though of that.
  17. Well, that was a humdinger of a presidential address!
  18. If you live in a rural area, offer to help farmers and other landowners with firewood harvesting for a share in the wood.
  19. As a teenager I worked for a guy who thought he was Captain Planet. He was a multi millionaire, employed a gang of us for months to plant his many acres with mixed woodland. Was trying to leave the world better than he found it, sort of thing. Drove a banger, lived in a hovel, no toilet even - not even a compost toilet - just a bucket, (but always had the latest, most expensive computer). We suffered hundreds of hours listening to his lectures on the evils of industrialisation, corporations, etc etc you get the picture. One day, I came upon him burning a pile of domestic rubbish in a corner of the garden. Plastic bags, tins. I challenged him on it and his reply was "Well, what else am I supposed to do with it?" I suggested he bring it to the dump like everyone else, where the lorry will tip it into a landfill, which is lined to prevent groundwater contamination. In five hundred years when we have invented a way of processing and neutralising plastic crap, we will know where is is, dig it up and deal with it. He told me I was wrong, and his method was the only way. Ever since that day, I lost the automatic respect for the intelligence of my elders.
  20. Essential when you get the craving! Ok, we'll keep the sun dried tomatoes...
  21. A friend with bipolar disorder and a marijuana dependancy was done for possession a few years ago. I came with him to court as moral support, but mainly to watch the fun, as he was representing himself and was to bring his 'assistance dog' (a boxer bitch, lovely dog) with him into the courtroom. He also invited a friend, who is blind and had his german shepherd with him, into the court. Your man (the accused) was wearing a tiger onesie, like something a little kid would wear to bed, with a head and tail and everything. It was what he was waring when he was arrested. The two dogs started scrapping about my feet between the benches. The judge was ever so patient, but eventually he ordered that the german shepherd be removed. The assistant dog stayed all afternoon until the case was heard, and the judge himself went to his chambers to fetch a bowl of water for the animal. Turns out the judge was a dog lover as well, and they had a long conversation about the amazing powers of dogs to stiff out cancer in urine samples. It was a riot of an afternoon, and the accused made a good account of himself, standing tall in his onesie and cross examined the guards. He was let off with a caution, given the "...Very modest quantity and dubious quality of the substance...!"
  22. Same here. Do you also reach for the milks at the back of the shelf in the shop? I do, happy to admit it.
  23. Just a little diversion - do you shotgun guys eat what you shoot? (not the foxes, obviously) - pheasant etc? Just watched a thing about lead contamination in game in the USA - they are thinking about phasing out lead bullets for copper. There is an argument that a copper slug, carrying less stopping power, is less humane, but other studies say they are fine. They took blood samples from people who live in rural north american communities that are frequent consumers of game and they have notable higher levels of lead in their systems than the general population. Apparently the slug, or pellets, as they pass through the animal, fragment to a degree, and the main mass and shards also shed microscopic particles of lead. When scanned with a ex-ray the lead spread in the carcass is quite evident - it spreads out farther than what one would imagine.
  24. A lot of the food we eat is unnecessary rubbish anyway, and we eat two thirds of it and chuck the rest in the landfill. Kids won't clean their plates, people buy food on a whim, try it once and leave it in the fridge to go bad, and then do it again a few months later, forgetting that they don't like that product. Three milks open at the same time. At least the staples should be organic, flour, bread, other bulk carbs and milk products, traditional veg etc. The prices could be raised a little bit, and also subsidised by a higher VAT on non-essentials like jars of sun dried tomatoes, sweets, snacks, basically everything else on the shelves.
  25. Well, this vid might have been posted somewhere here before but what the hey. The guy survived a chainsaw to the neck, with the application of a Celox product. [ame] [/ame]
