    President Elect's 'top team'

    Of course they're worse than "our bunch of clowns", who may be inept and naive, but there's no comparison with Trump's appointees. An anti-vaxxer, a Fox news host who thinks germs don't exist, and Matt Gaetz. OK, they're comparable, in that they're much worse, but I don't think that's how you...

    Cop 29

    You're wasting your time. I predict that Phil will repeat his assertion in a week or two. Unlike scientists, he is unlikely to change his mind when better information or data is available.

    Climate change policy

    Oxfam found that, on average, 50 of the world’s richest billionaires took 184 flights in a single year, spending 425 hours in the air —producing as much carbon as the average person would in 300 years. In the same period, their yachts emitted as much carbon as the average person would in 860...

    Can I make all usual structures with just wood from my small woodland?

    Have you considered straw bales? My brother in law built a house out of straw twenty years or so back.

    Thin 0.25mm guitar string type wire

    You may be right, but I thought it was more of a generic term - I can't imagine anyone making their own piano strings these days.

    I'm close(geographically)but don't think my solar powered shed would support it, physically or electrically.

    US Election November 5th

    Well I'm my experience it's just down to globalization and the internet. I wasn't competing with immigrants as such, but still market forces.

    US Election November 5th

    Somebody will do your job for less money. Isn't that just free market economics? It happened to me too, as a freelance firmware developer, I couldn't compete in the global market against people who'd work for a tenth of my expectations. That's life. You can get angry, or you can accept that...

    US Election November 5th

    I agree. I never meant to suggest that it was the prevailing mood, or a representative sample. Just my own personal experience.

    US Election November 5th

    My five American brothers in law and their families are all asking if they can come and stay with us. I get the impression that their overall feeling is a mixture of disbelief and profound depression.

    My most horrible food mistake so far...

    I think it's because some people stop eating meat for ethical reasons, not because they don't like the experience. Albanian liver in Turkey is delicious. I've tried without success to cook it at home. My father ate tripe, and I tried it once, although I did eat some when I was working in France...

    Is this getting a bit out of hand? - RSV jabs

    mcostello said: I won't get the jabs because I do not trust the people who push it. Well thats a shame really, one day you will need treatment from these professionals that you dont trust Remember, mcostello is in the US, where they do "push" things bit more, IMO.
