Like REALLY small - like get on your hands and need a magnifying glass small.

It seems not when rorsh*ite is involved. "small steps lead to tyranny....." you couldn't make it up. A super troll or genuinely a mental case - only he knows.

It's hard to go "onwards and upwards" if you have not looked around and taken stock of your ACTUAL position rather than the one you think you are in. "reality ALWAYS intrudes" and it's not being pessimistic to say that keeping certain militant and oppressive regimes, not just at arms length...

You might want to re-think that "not my responsibility" - the moment you lay hands on a tool and start using it, whether loaned from a mate or owned by a company you work for, you are defacto AGREEING to accept the responsibility of "fit for purpose". If you are asked to use a tool you KNOW to...

I would agree with all of that except the last - China hasn't been "building relationships" so much as undermining the competition** or outright stealing IP's, while being more than willing to buy up foreign debt so one day they call call in that I.O.U and claim ownership. ** or simply offering...

bwahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa *breath* haaaaaahahahaaaa. (I'm still laughing) - thanks for that Pete :) even funnier considering I know a few HP employees and EX employees (as I live so close), and several more tech illiterates whos crestfallen faces would be a real picture if they saw this message. I...

Not entirely true - many had blind faith "it can't happen" or abjectly refused to beleive how badly the sub-prime mortgages had been missold and just assumed because of the triple A ratings given, that thier misgivings were from a lack of knowledge. The film "The big short" while a...

D_W, my comment about services shutting was the Govt shutdowns of which there have been two that I am aware of in the last 10(ish) years, with services like Police, Park Rangers and Reservists etc others not getting paid, and even some places managed by these staff closed - how far or little...

Well, on the "debt gap" the USA might be well to keep it's mouth shut. While the UK is indeed struggling with certain issues, we aren't suffering shutdowns of govt services that the USA has and last I looked the USA is also heavily in debt to China, one of it biggest adversaries in terms of...

C'mon - what did I say? oh yes... no INTENTION. I have a mate, he owes me a shade over £12,000, yes twelve THOUSAND pounds, so far I've not seen much of it, because of his circumstances, but his INTENTIONS are clear, he fully INTENDS TO REPAY. His reality is he cannot repay to any great degree...

I am assuming you have me on ignore - which puts your "he's talking nonsense again" post into a poor light, because everything I wrote was factually correct, which is more than can be said for some of yours. :oops: whoops! Putting people on ignore is fine, but putting them on ignore, then...

Did I say "Indirect farming"? No I didn't, that's your interpretation so please don't try to attribute something to me about a statement I did not make you've been such a good chap thus far, no I'm not being facecious. "not direct farming = STOCKPILES. I'm pretty sure *checks*, yes I clarified...

This is why you get into trouble rorschach, inaccuracy and incongruity with what you post. Terry posted 30,000 - your post suggests to correct that figure to 40,000, so far so good, no problems. Where it all falls over is "and only 3 closed at the moment so definitely worth the effort", in...

Starvation can be dealt with IF the countries most at risk are willing - China is a hugely wealthy country so can afford to subsidise food from sources other than direct farming. India has the same ability; India has been accepting money from western nations for decades such that it does have...

Rorschach - It's generally accepted that your "immunity" will last 6 months. That's all you get, SIX MONTHS (see my post above as to why). Seeing as we are only in month 7 or 10 (depending on whether you agree China had isolated cases back in august and managed to keep it quiet) - your "there...

Sure - but lets not forget your willingness to let all the old people die - makes me wonder if you've had the courage to say that to any people around you with elderly parents. Having said that - does "herd immunity" actually exist? I'm "immune" from the cold I had last time, but not the next...

Oh wow - where do I even begin? 1 - didn't become a danger BECAUSE OF THE LOCKDOWN. 2 - "not a big deal" well depends on who you ask, ask MikeG (if he wasn't ignoring you), he's got some choice words for you, but in general "BECAUSE OF LOCKDOWN" is the defacto answer here, there and pretty much...

Yes. I think l that rorschach beleives that the entire human race will contract C19 at some point in the coming months / next year and that it's a complete inevitability we can't do ANYTHING about. I'm pretty sure "resigning to the fate of a pandemic" ceased when medical science realised that...

TB - I'm pretty sure every tax payer has skin in the game; do I need to elaborate any more ? However rorschach's "still wrong " streak is alive and well. As a self employed person who's entire business is inside peoples homes, so far I have lost about £4,000 in revenue not to mention eating...

That's what I did for my vice renovation - but the clear laquer look is also good.
