This just popped into my feed. As someone commented “Add those two pollutions and emissions together and everyone should be worried regardless of beliefs about health impacts or climate change”

It’s getting more difficult to avoid consuming stuff that’s bad for you. Glyphosate, micro plastics, PFAS and Steroid Hormones in our tap water etc, to name just a few. Apparently even bottled water now contains micro plastics. I always check ingredients now in an attempt to avoid non food items...

If they truly were “worse in every measurable way” why do they sell so well? The Tesla Model Y was the best selling car in both Europe and America last year. I’ve had modest size SUV’s for nearly 20 years now. After test driving the first one I knew there was no going back to a saloon or...

Axminster must have sold loads of these over the years. The early ones were cream in colour. Simon Hope sells them as well in a different colour. They are also sold in Germany, Canada and America. Probably all made in Taiwan.

The cost of producing EV’s is coming down slowly whilst the cost of producing ICE vehicles is still going up. This is bound to upset the car market, and also buyers. From what I’ve read some motorists are hanging on to their ICE vehicles longer than they would normally to see if EV’s drop to a...

Maybe this idea will eventually catch on?

There is apparently more than enough lithium for the foreseeable future even without recycling. That’s a bit beside the point though as Volkswagens joint venture in China is already selling EV’s with *Sodium batteries. Another myth is “there’s not enough Copper”. Maybe, but Tesla already use a...

I bought my Mitutoyo calipers over 30 years ago. They’re good but for accurate measurements I use a 25mm or 50mm Micrometer. Obviously if the item is over 50mm I have to use the calipers. 😶

I believe what you’re seeing is the forward and reverse mechanism. If you look closely a lot of the turning is done in an anti clockwise direction. I’ve watched a few Japanese turning videos and I used to think the inside and outside were turned in different directions but it’s not as simple as...

Keep a look out for a second hand one of these. Used by many demonstrators they have a very useful 14” swing for such a compact lathe. https://www.axminstertools.com/ideas-advice/axminster-woodturning-lathe-review/
