Steady on, we don't want people to be too educated. We are tired of experts.
-
Not naysaying, just helpfully pointing out that many saws are heavier than the max holding weight of that yoke. I'm sure it could be overcome somehow. My first thought is that it'd be easily overcome by hanging the saw on a hook just next to the device.

"Max load 3kg" Is that the force needed to pull the cable out then? You could use it to tether your Silky I suppose.

I think you'll find it's a secret cabal of the poor, students, and the gays.

The apostrophe is possesive, not plural. You aren't in Holland now, Jan.

Why are Horticultural professionals SO devalued?
peds replied to Trailoftears's topic in Landscaping
If she could find the time to do that for a few dozen or hundred or a thousand odd other people, she could probably earn a bit of cash. Does being able to feed yourself 3 meals a day make you a chef? Anyway, what am I doing stuck here in the gents of this motorway service station giving blowies for a fiver a go, when the guy in the cubicle next door is giving them away for free, and he's enjoying it more? It's impossible. -

A lot of people confusing horticulture and grounds maintenance here. Pay is shite for both to be fair, but whilst you could easily train a monkey in a nappy to do basic grounds maintenance, I disagree that nearly everyone could turn their hand to horticulture. Most people would have the sense to not bother. I remain, potting on thousands of griselinia, A penniless horticulturist. -
No, the joke is that people would laugh at you for not wanting to perform basic maintenance on a saw.

Maybe there should also have been a note at the start of the thread reminding everyone that it isn't about covid.

That's right, stay in character until the big reveal.

Yer man hedgemong, or his alter-alias, could learn a lot from this thread. The OP is subtle enough to be believable, but with just an occasional descent into the outlandish. This character has the potential for a much longer run. The Hedgemong shtick isnt particularly engrossing, but I'm genuinely curious as to who created this one.

Man, that was dull.

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....
peds replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Dry them, pickle them, ferment them, freeze them. Or process them into soup, pasta sauce, or just fried in butter... then freeze in portions. -
Sorry for the late reply. Can now confirm, does not work
-
I reckon most people kind of know this, but are happy to indulge in the ridiculousness of the talking points for a bit of chatter.
-
In fact, scrap that, remove the beech and replace them with a dozen tightly-spaced leylandii.
-
Leave them alone, keep the next generation of climbers in work.
-
Those bay boletes are simmering with a few puffballs and shop bought for soup, anyway. No murders here.
-
Just heard about that! Scary stuff.
-
Daughter's fifth birthday for that round nosed Opinel, the 4 year old lad there will be getting his own next year. Nothing wrong with introducing them to blades early on, that's why God gave us so many fingers to practice on.

Time well spent:

Ground elder needs harvesting early, or it renders you disastrously leaky. Apparently. Re: nettles. The most disappointing pot herb to forage. A thousand times less rewarding, both spiritually and culinarily, than the equivalent weight of fungi, fruit, or nuts. Nothing but angry spinach.
-
I hear you dude, but the proteins in your egg there start to denature at 63 centipedes or something, so piping hot just ain't gonna happen for a whole bunch of foods. You can't have, for example, a boiling-hot bearnaise sauce...
-
Don't want to sound like a dick, but that sounds like user error. You shouldn't really be doing this on the heat... you are using the residual heat of the pasta and the pan to cook the egg. Maybe heat #1 if you are cooking a big batch for many people, with multiple eggs. Also of mention: whole egg lemon tart, whole egg creme anglais... etc.
-
Whole egg carbonara is a thing.
