    as said, parallels and good ones at that, like testicles they are more use in pairs. no you shouldn't recycle them at your local. they are typically tool steel. the bottom one looks like a transfer tool of some description.

    EVs again - the sensible approach

    fusel oil, they've been selling it to biofuel producers for years, what grants have also done is related to the mash as well. it's good idea, but it can't power their entire fleet unfortunately.

    live hinges like breaking. I've used seatbelt webbing a few times for this sort of thing, but normally I sandwich it between wooden slips on the lid and box so it can be removed and replaced when it dies.
