At present there are many who have their doubts about that ...

Quite, but at this speed of change not for long as you stated. Maybe we should set an AI vs. AI situation so they would leave us biologicals alone to do what we usually do.

Ahhh ... Big Foot tracks.

Green potatoes are even worse. :D

I think you remember that is a a Chinese curse. ;)

I remember reading somewhere about a study that ended concluding that at a life expectancy of 75 years the subjective half life is somewhere 25-30 years old. Our sense of time going by changes quite a lot. So I would guess that most of us writing and reading this forum are already at our...

"Leave no trace", hmm ... first taught by my father, continued in the scouts and finally pounded in by the military. Finally came to the conclusion that it is a good idea all by myself. But there are degrees and situations. A gas burner and a Kelly kettle leave about equal trace (none) if...

Just in case anyone wants to see the winds in full technicolour.

As a first guess the one with shorter ears?

Met an article explaining how these work. Think I got that but are they good for anything practical?

Forecast looks like you might have two storms next week.

You certainly have made kitchen life complicated! When I cut bread I use a puukko, when filleting fish likewise. Just about the only specialty knife I have is used for yule time pork cutting. Wifey has more knives but as they are mostly quite aaa ... not sharp after years of misuse, when...

If I saw it here it would be red squirrel.

I have met PU soles that have actually started to depolymerize into a kind of goo. Yes foams are prone to plain old fatigue if not made of proper stuff. Some thermoplastic PUs are really tough, some used in reactive injection molding not so but cheap (and that is all the bean counter wants to...

Seems like the soles had the same problem I have seen around here and there. Apparently some PU -polyurethane- materials self destruct after some calendar time. As a first guess they are the cheaper ones. Where is our resident polymer chemist?

Did not catch this thread the first time, good reading. Anyway the discussion of what is real in a pic is made more complicated by the fact that people see colours slightly differently, some miss some receptors and some have extra (there are women who have two sets of red receptors.) Whose...

Shoe Goo seems to be a kind of contact adhesive for really good adhesion something reactive is needed. Flexible Polyurethane sealants are good two component adhesives (non foaming) are best. Depending on the lowest temp expected one has to check the glass transition temp of the stuff (temp...

You should maybe be worried how old Youtube algorithm thinks you are.

Pollen traces of hemp earliest about 4800 BC, direct evidence of cultivation around 400 BC here. As a guess it came from the east.

In Finland barley, buckwheat, wheat, rye, hemp. First finds around 5300 BC.
