Elon Musk has planned probably for at least a decade to create a City on Mars. You might think this is fantasy. However the start of this journey was decades ago. Elon Musk has the financial muscle and technology to do exactly what he has planned. The next step is putting over 1,000,000 tonnes...

What has happened in the Energy Market is beginning to happen in Agriculture. This will lead to a dysfunctional broken food system prone to failure & high prices. Previously. UK Agriculture was about making the most efficient crop for people to eat. Currently. Red Tractor dominates the...

I thought I'd cross check this piece just published. https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?resources/improving-soil-organic-matter-and-water-holding-capacity.371/ "Andy Neal at Rothamsted Research states that for a silty-clay loam ‘every 1% increase in soil organic carbon equates to a water...

Noticed that some meat I bought in Tesco had no country of Origin - I will always try to buy from the UK. So I decided to lookup why. See the Twitter response that came up in my search - however the response from Tesco doesn't seem correct, even from a casual glance. So I searched again and...

On the otherside of the coin "some people", in fact the usual people, are making a killing. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/oct/23/crown-gives-go-ahead-to-rival-net-zero-carbon-north-sea-schemes

Her Majesties Government has air lifted about 15,000 people out of Afghanistan. Many of which will come to the UK as refugees to claim Asylum. I was thinking today about the fact some of these people would have been at risk if they stayed in Afghanistan. But wouldn't the Afghan soldiers also...

I'm looking for some Makita saws, doing some carpentry work at the moment. First fix, floorboards and ceilings. Anyway, strayed onto ebay looking at tools and saw what looked like Makita tool with no Makita name. Same for batteries. Has anyone tried these out and what was the end result, was...

Today I read an article in the Comic that electric cars only lose about 30kg of "matter" during their lifetime. The article quotes 17,000 litres of fuel for combustion engines. Yet obviously totally declines to account for fuels used to power electric generation and the transmission of that...

Hello, just spent some time looking for sockets which I can put a spanner on the top. Similar to the sockets used for spark plugs but normal length sockets. The reason I'd like some is to be able to tighten a nut whilst at the sametime holding the pin still via an alan key - needed when...

I was just looking at the Republican website to see if there was any news on Trump. I didn't spot any but it IS interesting to see what the Democrats ARE doing: https://www.gop.gov/democrats-partisan-rules-package-ignores-constitutional-values-and-institutional-principles/...

You might be interested in this document: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/200318-draft-agreement-gen.pdf Having read a little bit about the "Level playing field" I think the EU is taking the mickey. The EU does little else but create distortions in regional grants, political culture...

Supposedly the reason 16,000 cases were not added to Covid-19 figures was because an excel spreadsheet was used which "Maxxed out" .. The problem has been "Solved" by splitting the excel sheet into "Batches". IMHO this goes to show how those who "think" they know what they are doing don't. A...

We are currently being assessed based on our usage of "Fossil Fuels" - of which our usage of Fertiliser seems to be weighed against us heavily. Is this correct ? I buy based on the price of Nitrogen not how it has been manufactured. Whereas the government is punishing me based on how it was...

Some people never left work .. and I'm sure for many of you it's work as normal with some differences. I must say though how quiet & how blue the sky has been. It's very obvious that at some point people are going to have to go back to work. I think those that control businesses need to begin...

Then why aren't we all isolating for 2 weeks so we can all get on with our lives ? Isolate .. let the disease fizzle out .. disinfect mass transit and ultimately hospitals. Or am I missing something ?

Okay I've been wondering whether to post something about the possibility of this virus spreading to Cows .. thought better of it given the panic erupting .. then I saw this ??? Is this misinformation to stop rustling ???

One of the things that stands out in the current figures is how the German death rate from Covid 19 is far lower than other countries. I wondered if this was due to the use of Anti Virals or perhaps a lack of reporting maybe due to control of data or a language barrier. Perhaps it is how this...

The UK imports many goods from other countries, as far as I know mainly China, USA & EU. Many manufacturing processes in all countries rely on Chinese manufacturing. If the Corona Virus becomes an epidemic, especially in China. Where does this leave the UK and other Western countries which...
