True. Because what passes for "education" these days in liberal universities (and they're all liberal) is just leftist brainwashing, plain and simple. Give me an unsophisticated fundi any day over the product of modern western education (excepting the hard sciences). Funny thing about "education" is most of the people I have known who claim to be educated, are dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to real-world matters - and that includes politics. Of course climate change is real, its just that we, with our cars and factories, are not driving it. And if we are contributing a little bit, it doesn't matter - its going to change anyway whether or not we use fossil fuels. Just another hoax by the elites to gain control of the world economy - control the CO2 emissions means controlling crude oil and coal - that means controlling transport, manufacturing and electricity. Control those three things and you control everything. The "uneducated" understood this ruse for what it was many years ago. Trump has removed our "mind-forged manacles" and we can now speak the truth freely, with the support of POTUS and two thirds of the United Statesians. And this is just the beginning......

Ok I got one more - Electronic Lazer Distance Measure. Bought in Aldi for 27 euro, 30m range, accurate to 1.5mm. So East to measure verticals that would have required faffing with a tape measure, trying to get it to not collapse, or having to fetch a ladder. Very very nice gadget. No more having the tape fall off the thing to be measured when halfway across the room. No more getting mud on the tape, no more buying a tape measure several times a year ect.

Could also try laying off the sugar and drink apple cider vinegar in water instead - its supposed to be anti-inflammatory and benefits arthritic conditions, so maybe it would be good for inflamed tendons as well. I love it, its yummy.

Ok, I posted a youtube vid link about Obama encouraging illegal to vote (felony) but we already know he a scumbag right? This is Much Better!! [ame] [/ame]

We've been using homeopathic remedies for decades now, never see the inside of a GP consulting room anymore. The remedy you need is dependant on the type of pain you are experiencing. This - ripped from a random site. Homeopathic Remedies There are various homeopathic remedies which can help you deal with Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis elbow). Arnica Montana is a homeopathic remedy for an injury or strain of the elbow muscle. Belladonna is used in case of sharp pain and swollen and inflamed elbow. Bryonia is excellent in case you feel pain when you move your arm. If the whole arm is in pain, Ferrum phosphoricum is the best remedy for you. Kalmia latifolia is recommended in case the pain spreads from shoulder or hip. It is also used for sudden pain which is worsened when you move your arm. Rhus toxicodendron is the best if you experience stiffness in the elbow, which is worse during the night or in the morning. For swollen, painful and stiff elbow, you should take Ruta graveolens. This remedy is also used if the symptoms of Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis elbow) get worse if you move your arm, and if you feel weak and tired. Sanguinaria is used in cases you also feel pain in the shoulder and when the pain becomes more severe when you lift your arm. Another homeopathic remedy is Sulphur, which is recommended for burning pain and inflammation. Identify what kind of pain you have, and buy the corresponding remedy from your local pharmacist or health-food store. Take one pill three times a day, but not before or after coffee. If it works you will become a lifelong convert, like so many others.

Ever see the youtube vids where guys taste army rations from the vietnam, and even WWII era? Pretty gross stuff. Peanut butter holds up pretty well, apparently.

Some fraud happening on the Democrat site of things, mostly. Voting machines flipping votes that kind of thing. Apparently they can steal about 2% on any given election year. Also polls are skewed by main stream media to favour clinton. Still betting on Trump.

'04 60 HP Kangoo here, 1.5 lt dCi. Its rated to tow a ton, breaked, but I don't think the 1.5 will really do that in reality. I only tow half a ton max. Its slow, you have to use the gears, Im a slow-coach anyway so doesn't bother me, but on a motorway there will be problems, unless you like to stick it in second and boot it, taking the revs to 4000, which I personally feel is abuse. Cant you get these new engines remapped for more HP? Or does that just increase the revs across the gear range and knacker the engine faster? Seems happy to tow half a ton at 30mph in fourth gear on the flat at about 2000 rippums. The Kangoo is brilliant because the passenger seat folds away, mesh bulkead swivels and you get another 5-6 square feet of storage. One thing - and its a big one - the back doors on the older kangoo will not open when a trailer is attached. Don't know if the new ones are different.

Not difficult so long as your battens are correctly set up. Maybe youtube it, sure there are loads of tutorials.

How did we manage before they were invented? Which leatherman have you got?

Victorinox Spirit plier multitool - Most useful thing all round I've ever bought. The weatherman style tools were great when they were invented, and some of the real lethermans are good, but really this tool beats everything out there by a wide margin. Its built like a surgical instrument...wouldnt surprise me to learn that its been used as a surgical instrument! [ame] [/ame]

Anybody mentioned cryotherapy yet? Don't know much about it, its for sports injuries, a rubber cast filled with ice water which circulates via a tube into a thermos container continent more ice water. They make a cast/bladder/whatever you want to call it, for all major body areas and joints. You ware the thing and carry the thermos around with you, and it keeps the area cold for 6 hours.

An update on my Liquid Bandage experiment: Yesterday - after a few days off - my hands had recovered from the lime exposure, some peeling of the first layer of skin but no serious problems. So we got back into the plastering, and I sprayed the Liquid Bandage all over both hands and fingers that morning and just before we started. As before, I wore rigger gloves (water permeable) and got my gloves soaking wet all day, with the caustic solution. Several times during the day I applied barrier cream, but I think it rubbed off in the glove material pretty quickly. At days end, my hands were, as before, severely wrinkled and white, and on the side of both thumbs were corrosions from lime particles trapped in the gloves, I suspect, where the thumb rubs against the trowel handle. When I got home, I applied lemon juice, washed hands, applied iodine to the corrosions, and then liberal repeated doses of hand cream that evening. This morning, my hands are fine, no skin peeling. I didn't think the Liquid Bandage was working at the time, because of the wrinkling, but it appears that it DID WORK. Next time I'll use it again, but will also use nitrile gloves inside my riggers, or just get rubber cement gloves....but it worked anyway.

- Im still on the PS3, and no sign of trading up.....a curmudgeon before my time....

The latest Stihl HP Ultra says "E20" on the label, meaning it is compatible with petrol with up to 20% ethanol content. Something in the oil binds with the ethanol, so if you get separation in the machine tank the motor isn't sucking oil-less ethanol. Don't know whether to believe the hype but I use it anyway.

Just heard the other day - they've discovered a chemical in Jap Knotweed roots that could be the next panacea: cardio protective, anti cancer, anti ageing, weight loss etc etc. https://newdrugapprovals.org/tag/japanese-knotweed-extract/?iframe=true&preview=true/feed/

Mine was €7.00 for a wee aresol bottle 40mg I think. Its not for gluing wounds closed by the way - just a barrier membrane.

There may be another way to avoid exhaust fumes while milling - consider attaching a heat resistant tube over the muffler exhaust and make it long enough to vent the fumes at a distance from you, might have to trail it on the ground.

Thing is, its hard to know when to take off the tin-foil hat. I grew up surrounded by "Twoofers" of all stripes and became immunised to bullshit at an early age, simple observation of the people who believed all the conspiracy stuff hook line and sinker - chemtrails you name it - and the reality of their shambles of a life. But one can become allergic to truth as well, dismissing everything as bullshit out of hand without investigating further. When it comes to Roswell, fake moon landing, chemtrails etc Im of the opinion "Who cares?" - we can speculate all we like but until there is real solid evidence its just fariytales. And even if some of it is true, so what? But when we're talking about the criminal conspiracies in political circles its different. These things affect our real lives in a real way, are provable, punishable and need to be addressed - and the MSM is most certainly not addressing the issues.

Infowars is gaining massive traction in the states now - turns out all the "crazy conspiracy theories" about Washington corruption were actually true! I always used to dismiss the alt-media as kooks but not any more. Just had to edit this - there is a whole new generation of independent investigative citizen journalists coming up, they're not all polished, but they are passionate. Just got to post this - undercover guy poses as a "potential donor" to a group that pays people to show up at political rallies and start trouble. Give it a chance - its absolutely shocking.

Right ok, that makes sense but if one were to start the aspen/pump fuel rotation on a brand new saw, then the tubes would only be exposed to pump fuel for a fraction of the time - Im assuming an occasional use big saw here - and most of the time sitting idle full of aspen. Therefore, the tubes will never have enough time exposure to the pump fuel to be affected by the solvents. Theoretically, the tubes should last forever. So my idea makes sense in a new machine, no?

This is it in an open position. VERY OLD MILITARY BARBED WIRE CUTTER, TREE HAND SAW IN LEATHER BAG & OTHER TOOL | eBay

Oh do tell!

I don't think so, the stuff I have is just for minor wounds and grazes, but maybe there is a "military grade" version too? By the way - its supposably contains a disinfectant as well, but I wouldn't trust it to sterilise a serious cut, and it might actually seal in the bacteria worsening the injury, so I always disinfect with iodine tincture and let it dry before using the spray.

This is what I bought at the local pharmacy Medicare Spray Plaster (32.5ml) First Aid spray plaster wound care, cuts, graze treatment But they're all the same thing - every pharmacy has some variant on the shelf. There is also a "remover" spray available.
