    Cop 29

    Well, it's certainly true that China is doing much more than pretty much any other country to change its energy production. It's also true that they still have a long way to go to get as "good" as us if you measure by capita. But again, if you measure by capita, they are far superior to the US...

    Cop 29

    One issue is defining a target. It's literally impossible to make one based on what's going to happen, because nobody really knows beyond some very broad stroke stuff. Which fuels the argument for doing nothing. I'm a planner for a living. I get laughed at at work (good naturedly apart from the...

    Cop 29

    You can't just do nothing and expect China and the US to do it all. Because even if they totally sorted themselves out, there's still an awful lot of emissions not including them. What level of relative scale do you want to put it at? If you go with emissions per capita, the UK is relatively...

    US Election November 5th

    Was me who put him on ignore because... wtf. I think he's just on a windup to see if you'll write more words than he does or something. Meh, I got bored with it at least half a dozen pages ago. I can't insult him properly (which I'm sure is what Tony wants) because Noel will come get me (which...

    US Election November 5th

    Saying anti semitic about someone who's purely criticising the State of Israel due to its actions is just wrong.

    US Election November 5th

    I watched that vid, 'cos I've been listening to Scaramucci a fair bit this last 6 months. I'm pretty sure Musk is capable of turning himself into any shape of moral pretzel, but if Trump is really the way Scaramucci says he is, probably won't be long before Trump's ego leads him into some kind...

    Bosch POF 1200 AE stiff plunge clamp release knob

    I've yet to use it in anger. If I can't get on with it I might try unscrewing that lever and seeing if I can do something to mod it.

    US Election November 5th

    I've got him on ignore now. Just because... what's the point? He just makes me want to do the "*****" thing and that's not mature, is it. EDIT: O-M-G, as the kids say. The auto censor thing turns i-d-i-o-t into silly person. How funny is that 🤣 . Yup. See also Brexit :D . When it becomes as...

    US Election November 5th

    When I said "cares more about", I should have said "is more sympathetic to". Obviously geopolitics creates ironic situations, the notion of actively trading with someone you're at war with isn't a novel thing, a country's economic status and economic role is always something to be considered...

    Powertool World - any experiences of this online retailer??

    I'll let you know Tuesday if my new ROS turns up on time :D . Just ordered it from them.

    US Election November 5th

    One has to wonder why the new GOP administration cares more about Russia than Ukraine. That's certainly a departure from previous GOP. The answer, I suspect, lies in their apparent desire to run down NATO. Again, why I dunno. I'm sure it's not just because they have a bag on about other NATO...

    Random orbital sander vibration shortlist

    That's why I wondered about the Youtuber. Of all the models he tested he gave the Dewalt joint second, but of all the models this was the one that he owned and had used for years, plus there's that advertised vibration value possibly skewing his judgement. However, if the red or blue Makitas...

    Went with the Dewalt. I'll post how I get on with it.

    Random orbital sander vibration shortlist

    And here's another contender just spotted. A red Makita, presumably their budget range, at £52 :D but has 240w rather than 300w on the other one, but only has 3m/s^2 compared to the the 4.5m/s^2 on the other one, presumably because lower watts. I am unsure how much difference 60w makes on...

    Random orbital sander vibration shortlist

    Ello. I've found threads on here for random orbital sanders so I'm sorry to do another one. But I have bad shoulder (prob rotator cuff) , tennis elbow, probably carpal tunnel. Results of years of riding motorcycles for a living, heavy gaming and heavy lifting. So need to look after myself. So...

    Political compass

    I've done this test before, years ago. As far as I can remember I'm still the same, slap bang in the libertarian left. As I recall, others on an internet forum just like this (motorbikes) did it and mostly got the same. As people here seem to be doing. Which probably means, from a British...

    US Election November 5th

    This. It's easy for us in UK to forget how much power is devolved into the States. Hopefully it's enough to defend the democracy. .

    US Election November 5th

    Wtf sort of a comment is that 🤣 : . I think the Ukrainians and the Russians are the ones who want to fight the war. Something to do with not being occupied by a foerign power, I think. The question is whether or not to support one side or the other, or neither. And then in your later comment...

    US Election November 5th

    Well, foreign policy is a bit of a different beast. I expect disingenuousness when it comes to how world leaders and foreign secretaries speak about each other.

    I saw a youtuber saying she's wishing she'd moved to Europe when she had the chance. But these are small samples.
