  1. Here's an interesting one... an orb seems to dispense several other objects... then explodes. CIA secret surveillance cluster drone being shot down by a USAF F22? Or is it just a roman candle strapped to an over-the-counter drone by some cheeky member of the public... and one got stuck in the tube?
  2. This godsend button... what if you've got it in tight between a building and the stem and you've had to rotate the boom 180° at full height to squeeze the lower elbow of it through... or if you've snaked it through the gap of a couple of snipped branches and you're curving around the stem a bit... Does the godsend button remember the route you've taken, or is it just looking for the quickest route from A to B, regardless of the obstacles it doesn't know are there? Seems like you could get yourself into difficulties...
  3. Great film, brilliant book. Not quite so brilliant excursion into Mogadishu... but good gosh, they pulled it off rather well, considering.
  4. 2m³ over the year... not an awful lot! Can I ask why you don't want hydraulic? 2m³ is not a big ask for even a cheapo hydraulic... and they seem so much more finger-friendly!
  5. Very tidy!
  6. The obvious answer to my mind is... they aren't. They are making an announcement. "Yeah, we've got these fancy drones, look at our next-gen tech. Nice, innit?"

    Jokes???

  8. Well, only the illegal ones! Chortle! Not really, but I thought we could start a thread about the drone drama developing over the United States, and other locations around the world. Here's some flapping about over the Capitol: ...and here's one eating another, smaller drone! I think, personally, that this isn't an aliens story, and any attempts to frame it as such are possibly a deliberate attempt to steer discussion away from the reality of it being US military or intelligence tech being tested, without the knowledge of other alphabet organisations, who are obviously doing their best to find out more. I'll share any other pics or vids that I think are interesting as they appear, please feel free to do the same!
  9. You can neg on his gains if you want, or you can go get swole yourself. Do you even lift, brah?

    Just to add to the Crocs discussion of earlier in the thread, I've asked my wife for some clip-on toes for Christmas. She has refused.
  11. I used my 200 for all sorts of 1st fix carpentry when we were building the house.
  12. Ooohh... the husk is what you are using, the seeds not? My world just flipped upside down, man.
  13. Oh, you already have a tree? That's great. Bought as a sapling, inherited, seed-grown? In that case, the seeds are almost certainly viable, and I'll probably hit you up for some in the future, or maybe some cuttings. Maybe look into the flavour profile thing, I'm fairly sure most uses include the husk and they are just ground down into a powder or paste with the seed as well. But I don't know enough to say either way. Certainly cardamom pods, for example, can either be used whole or the seeds extracted, depending on the usage. Do you... have a cardamom tree, too?
  14. 17 minutes finger on the trigger, full revs, max power felling mode? How about half power for snedding... Or eco mode for... I dunno, what would you use eco mode for...? Mowing the lawn? The extra kilo to be on-par or marginally quicker than a 50cc, as the video suggests, does seem a steep price to pay for an all-day saw, you'd definitely notice it by lunchtime. Have to say, I'm tempted... as it does fit my shtick... but I'll probably wait for the next version.
  15. Story as old as time! They never understand how neat and tidy things are when they are stacked vertically into the sky, and how much mess they make when they turn horizontal. Good morning everyone. Back home to Ireland today, back to work 0730 tomorrow.
  16. Handy piece of kit to have!
  17. I think you fellas are missing the point. You aren't supposed to be critiquing his woodchopping technique, you are supposed to be admiring his chiselled biceps.
  18. What you riddling the pepper for boss? Are the seeds viable? Or does winnowing the wheat from chaff afford a different flavour profile, a la black or white peppercorns?
  19. Homie looks jacked, though. Fair play to him. ...but just so this thread isn't only ripped dudes splitting wood with an unconventional tool, here's a ripped chick doing likewise. (Before anyone suggests it... yes, she is a lesbian. Nicole Coenen.)
  20. Is it available in a sub 12ft/lb version?
  21. Traditionally, yes. I can give you guidance on cooking what's called a romali roti, the little flatbread, on the outside of an upturned wok, if you like? There's a type of crepe, too, made by heating a heavy-based pan, dipping the hot underside into a flat and shallow basin of batter, and peeling it off quickly when it sets. Very light, very pale. Often stuffed or wrapped with other ingredients for further cooking after the fact. Cannelloni or feuille de brik style. Would either of those answer your need for outside-of-pan cooking?
  22. Purple is considered their native range. Have you considered trying your pheasant surplus in a Korean or north Chinese style, or southeastern Chinese style, even Sichuan style... Braised with kimchi or other fermented goodies, lots of dried red chillies, served with wheat or rice wide noodles... Edit: Googling, please hold... Jjimdak (Korean Braised Chicken) - Korean Bapsang WWW.KOREANBAPSANG.COM Here’s how to make a hearty, flavorful Korean braised chicken dish, jjimdak! It's very easy to... Spicy Korean Chicken Stew (Dak Dori Tang) MYKOREANKITCHEN.COM Spicy Korean chicken stew - Dakdoritang recipe. Chunky chicken and potatoes are braised... Chinese Sichuan chicken pot - recipe | SCMP Cooking WWW.SCMP.COM A lot of ingredients go into making this hearty dish, but it's worth the trouble, and is easy to make. Try any of those.
  23. To be fair, I've had a good bit of experience, I used to do weddings for millionaires and private cheffing for Russian mob bosses and spiritually unfulfilling nonsense like that. Honestly? The soda bread had been overworked so didn't rise as much as it could have done. Never mind.
  24. Thoughts and prayers. Bury her deep in the compost pile, return her soul to the soil.
