  1. He is protecting the tree buds from being nipped by the pigeons which affects the trees growth!
  2. Bring back school trips like that.......
  3. I have been shouting at this to BASC for years and not a blind bit of notice taken! Any species that is or was on the general licence should be registered as game and therefore the general licence only needs to cover the breeding season. This is the only way to secure control of those species, given the continual erosion of the GL's.
  4. Gamebore have similar (Quad seal) and again is compostable but only only in commercial composting heap. An industrially compostable (which meets the standard EN13432) plastic undergoes at least 90% biodegradation within 6 months in an industrial facility in the presence of oxygen, microorganisms and high temperatures (50– 60°C).
  5. Aye, very tasty... always McSweens.
  6. look for Artic Screenwash (i.e. -20c and below).
  7. Please state what hulls and their length, primers, powders and wads you have and then someone can intelligently suggest what loads would be feasible? If you already have a 1oz load for game this would work for heavies though you might need to alter the column height slightly.
  8. Nope, they didn't capture a black hole. The whole thing is computer generated and.... after "interpreting" the 2\3 pixels they come up with that rendition as below..... It is not a photo but a computer generated representation of what their models think it should look like.
  9. Black holes are a science fiction construct that ignore the laws of physics and mathamatics and rely on stars being gaseous (not liquid or solid as they are) to allow for the "collapse" into a supposed black hole. See the below link for a brief overview of the issues.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cHGT0DgvhNM
  10. I have several batches of the new quad seal White Golds, no issue with any of them. These need to back to Gamebore as their quality control has obviously failed.
  11. If the current opposition get in, brace for the "freefall" as they have almost same position in everything, except worse than the current incumbents.
  12. I appreciate you are not arguing. There was a meme kicking about somewhere in lst few days.. might have been X (twitter) but pointing out that nearly all progress is not being driven by mainstream scientists but those who sit outside it and question the so called "settled science". The JW telescope can't be ignored as easily as individuals who have raised these sorts of points previously but told they are conspiracy theorists etc by those who have "settled". While clearly there are some processes we understand completely, the reluctance of often the majority to accept factual information and ignore the truth of what we may not fully understand because it doesn't fit their models, theories and simulations is telling. Below is a slide showing inputs to the Earths atmosphere that is not accounted for in climate models used by the IPCC. Yet these models are treated as predictions and government policy is based on them, yet they cannot and do no model the past or present, so how can they possibly model the future?
  13. 😁 Only the best company......
  14. The whole point is that U235 occurs naturally as part of Uranium at a percentage of 0.7%, U238 being the other 99.3%. In order to bring U235 up to useable levels for civilian purposes, the method uses the same equipment to bring U235 up to military purposes, you just feed it back through an extra few times, not disimilar to multiple distilled alcohol. U235 decay also produces plutonium as a by product wich is also military capable. Nuclear weapons use high grade U235 to minimise the weapon size. Low grade nuclear weapons can work with 20% U235, even lower down to 12% could be made but the issue is the size of the device. Reactors can "runaway" with 3-4% U235 (civilian grade). MSR's lower the risk of nuclear accidents in multiple ways over "conventional" reactors.
  15. Things that shouldn't exist? Don't follow the high school level of physics dumbed down so it can be "understood"? The problem is that like other things.... people are locked into a narrative or paradigm and fail to look, much less understand, and those who do are often excommucated because they don't agree with the "concensus". Well Galileo was right, the earth is a ball and orbits the sun Einstein was correct E=mc2 Robitaillie is correct... the sun is a liquid/semi-sold Vogt was right... the sun micro-novas on a 12,000 yearly basis Davidson is right... the universe is Electro-magnetic and dark matter doesn't exist Bought and paid for follow the narritive/consensus scientists are wrong about other things as well such as :- Climate change & global warming & CO2 COVID virus Fusion on earth mRNA vaccines to name a few Yes, the ion drive already exists but as noted is simple well understood physics.
  16. The current generation of Nuclear (Fission) reactors are as efficent as they can be (using between 5-10% of fuel loaded into them), and most governments are still going down this route, but more complicated and safer, ramping up the price massively. Lately a lot has been said about off shore wind asking for cfd strike price rates to be lifted form the £47 per MWH mark to £70ish (2012 prices), Hinkley was set previously at £92.50 (2012 prices)and is rumoured to be asking for £150 per MWH (2012 prices)by the time it comes into operation in 2028, it's build cost having gone from £18billion to £32 billion. Rolls Royce modular reactors are just smaller versions of these (but developed from the Navy reactors line) and really most of the development is to work out how to make the future Navy reactors better, only providing the next generation of modular civilian reactors as almost an after thought. Top end global private investment (and some governments such as China) is going into (Modular) Molten Salt Reactors (MSR's) which were abondoned in the 60's by the USA as they did not have a military purpose (they do not require the high enrichment of Uranium235 that current reactors use - so no enriched bomb material and no plutonium), even though they are inherently safer (not pressurised and cannot runaway) and more efficent (use between 80% and 100%) of the fuel loaded into them. As a bonus, they can also use fuel from other decay sequences such as the Thorium line, of which there is thousands of years of supplies on the planet and spent material from current reactors. Fusion is a boon doggle as our cousins across the Atlantic would say.
  17. It's not my list of conditions, it's physics......
  18. Nuclear fusion "worked" after setting off a fission bomb "primer" to duplicate the temperatures and pressures inside the sun's core for a few milliseconds, allowing "fusion" to work for a further few milli-seconds. Not only did they not have control, they confirmed that they required sun core conditions to release a substantial portion of the "fusion" energy. And there plenty that still are... We are all subject to the laws of physics.... 😁
  19. Unless they can duplicate the sun's core temperature, pressure, magnetic fields, gravity etc on earth, it ain't going to work. Because they have spent billions and have no wish to explain that it is not possible to commercialise.... scientists and engineers being fully funded for their entire careers..... on the promise of achieving the holy grail.....
  20. Fusion does not work on earth for more than a few milliseconds even a labratory scale (even with massive inputs) as it cannot keep going as we have the wrong elemental forms, wrong pressures and wrong temperatures. The Sun is not a gaseous plasma, except above its surface, below this, all the hydrogen is a form of liquid semi solid, called liquid metallic hydrogen, the fusion happens in the layers where hydrogen is in it's liquid metallic form, not gaseous plasma which we are trying to use on Earth in fusion reactors..
  21. rumour has it that Trump apparently went once, never again and thereafter banned Epstein from staying in or using any of his hotels... tells you everything you need to know.
