Unless you are (one is) a climate change denier, I think history will judge us for far, far more grave consequences and choices than that. In fact, there might not much of a population left to judge at all...

Is everyone looking at your laptop screen? ;) Warning - stay away from books, you might have a coronary!

Aside from anything else, I always found it fascinating that they were able to broadcast live video and audio from the moon, when - 50+ years on - I still struggle to get a decent picture with a TV aerial and good radio reception where I live. As for mobile, not a chance!

This thread has taken some serious detours! Back to the OP though and I'm surprised no-one has pointed this out... I've read a fair bit of Naomi Klein (who incidentally appears on YouTube frequently); not Doppelganger, but it's on the reading list for some time soon. Much of her other work...

I think you could base a sci-fi movie on that quote!

Let's face it, they'll stand to gain something. Why else would they do it? Why give free tickets and hospitality to someone who can already (easily) afford and who just do happens to be in a position of power. Just kindness? Altruism? Perhaps in that case the tickets should have been given to a...

Meanwhile, not that MSM have much to say on the matter, high excess deaths remain concerning and unexplained.... https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/high-excess-death-rates-in-the-west-for-3-years-running-since-start-of-pandemic/

Your last point is clearly contradictory. The whole premise of this is thread is that the flu vaccine - having previously been a vaccination as per your bold text - is now being developed as part of a combined mRNA. Perhaps I was hasty and wrong to call it gene therapy, I'm not sure. And I'm...

But does it significantly stop the spread? Does it significantly stop your chance of getting covid? And if so can you link me to data showing any of this? The mainstream info nowadays seems to suggest it helps lessen the severity of infection, which is great for the individual, but for...

I haven't rejected anything. Perhaps you have me mixed up with other posters? Or maybe your nuance won't go beyond a simple us and them?

Another reply with no substance. Why not play the ball and we can actually discuss the matter?

I think you're moving the goalposts. Your post suggested that people who choose not to have a vaccine are selfish by potentially putting an extra strain on the NHS. I replied with other examples of activities and choices which likewise put an extra strain on the NHS and could likewise be...

Smoking. Alcohol. Obesity. Processed meat overconsumption (perhaps even all meat and dairy). Processed food overconsumption. Too much sugar. Too much salt. Contact sports. Skydiving. Mountain hiking. Motorbikes. The list is endless... I'm not sure how "not only stupid but selfish and...

That also need to have trickle vents to comply with building regs?!?

I live in an old house, not listed, and have never had a listed property. My knee jerk has always been to avoid them, for the same kind of reasons that the nay sayers have expressed in this thread. Having read through the thread, I think I would still have major reservations. However, there is...

Yeah, I guess the analogy works to a certain extent, but I think it's also about the efficiency and emissions... Compare what comes out of the chimney of a fire/stove being started or ticking over, with one running at optimal efficiency...

AFAIK, the whole DEFRA thing is a stopper which prevents the stoves being able to be closed down too far, i.e. to slumber or "keep-in" overnight. On many stoves the stopper is simply a screw or bolt which can be removed, which makes a mockery of it anyway...

@Spectric - I agree RE the flue. But some people I've spoken to, including installers and stove shop owners, say the opposite and stress the importance of double skinned flue all the way, especially for ED stoves. not saying that's what I think, just sharing what some have told me. With...

I might be missing something but I can't see the logic on that. You need a lot of air flow to get things going, hence why all controls go to fully open and many even have the door ajar to begin with. That makes sense though. Mental note taken.

I don't know so much about the liners, other than the 316 vs 904 grade steel choice. But presume you're already aware of that choice difference? How much total run of flue will it be from stove to cowl? Many bends? I'm no expert, but I would be going for single if possible so that there's...
