There do seem to be some... different... attitudes over there.

Yesterday Doug, and your linked thread is exactly the sort of thread we were looking for, but it seems more dated than the one I vaguely specifically remember sort of. Maybe it's some sort of mass delusion like the 1518 dancing plague of Strasbourg.

I'm intrigued now, what's the system consist of?

Someone better put a NSFW tag on this thread for the Americans.

I winced with every impact. Scary stuff. Veeeeery slow. Too slow to be worth it.

The 5-7-5 is more of a guideline than prescriptive, to encourage brevity. The focus should be on the poetry, rather than the maths. Thanks though. Looking forward to more entries. Edit: additional lacklustre video. 20250403_135522.mp4

But now, on to the crux of the matter: American doctor receives email from immigration officials telling her to leave the country immediately WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Dr. Lisa Anderson, 58, was born in Pennsylvania and is a U.S. citizen. Regarding Lisa Anderson and others like her: --- "This is by design according to one of the founders of the Heritage Foundation: "Our strategy will be to bleed this corrupt culture dry. We will pick off the most intelligent and creative individuals in our society, the individuals who help give credibility to the current regime.... Our movement will be entirely destructive, and entirely constructive. We will not try to reform the existing institutions. We only intend to weaken them, and eventually destroy them... We will maintain a constant barrage of criticism against the Left. We will attack the very legitimacy of the Left... We will use guerrilla tactics to undermine the legitimacy of the dominant regime…..Sympathy from the American people will increase as our opponents try to persecute us, which means our strength will increase at an accelerating rate due to more defections-and the enemy will collapse as a result” - Paul Weyrich, Founder of the Heritage Foundation, Council for National Policy (CNP), American Legislation Exchange Council (ALEC), and the Moral Majority (Religious Fundamentalist Right) ---- Documentary on the Heritage Foundation, 15minute version: Full version: Tubi is the largest free movie and TV streaming service in the US.

Have we got a "trees eating things" thread? I had a quick look, couldn't find anything. Took the tops off two sycamorewhile the fellas chipped, ringed, and split a windblown multistem cyprus, a day and a half. Then went for a drive over the hill to find some windblown spruce and birch. Just rings, no chips or splits. New jeep is earning her keep.

A mattock? Luxury! We had to grind the stumps out with the teaspoon we had for the sugar in our tea, except we had stump chippings instead of sugar!

It's kind of you to not specify which substance exactly.

It's grand, you can do the other half. Cheers 🍻

So far, this thread has done nothing to change my opinion that the best thing to do with a stump is to ignore it and walk away. But it's early days yet I suppose.

Trump's "Counterterrorism Czar" now saying that anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Garcia is "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and could be looking at being federally charged. Absolutely loopy!

Bargain. Be silly not to at that price. I still love my MSA200, great saw. I wouldn’t want to be using it as the primary firewood saw though, you don't get a very long life out of the little 1/4" 1.1mm chain. Tiny wee teeth, and every stroke of the file makes the kerf that little bit tighter... a chain that's seen a few sharpening cycles just doesn't chew through thicker wood like a newer chain does, it bogs down easier. Can be frustrating on dismantles, it hastens the transition from battery to petrol. The old (but sharpened...) chain will still go through skinny stuff though, so you then get a few more goes using an old chain for hedges or by the chipper, or an emergency backup chain. All that said... when I get around to building the woodshed, I'm going corded electric saw

A number of times in recent days I've seen "pollarded" to describe the legitimate and effective practice of coppicing above head height, to prevent deer or livestock damage on regrowth. Lots of people understand that to be pollarding, not your fancy French street trees with your pompom arms. So what do we call that, other than "coppicing above head height"?

Up next in Opposite Land...

Simmer gently in a north Chinese style broth (garlic, ginger, anise, chilli, soy) until tender; either singly, in groups, or a whole rack. Fish them out and allow to cool, then glaze with reduced cooking liquor mixed with a little sugar or honey. Grill under high heat until crisped to your liking, painting on additional glaze with a silicone brush. Edit Of course, if it's a young lamb, skip the simmering altogether and just marinade in your aromatics and grill straight off the bat.

Lamb ribs are a flipping great post-pub snack.

Jesus, the suspense was killing me!

Now, here's a good bit of TDS...
