    Hi, Yeah, we are on different schedules, but that doesn’t matter much or bother me. I wasn’t taking something impersonal that you wrote and taking/making it personal. I was trying to change the framing to something that is easier to understand to show the absurdity of the statement. Had I...

    Hi HillBill, I don’t want to have an argument but I keep wondering where you are getting your info on AI and how you are drawing the conclusions you have done. Maybe we are talking about different kinds of AI. For example, Alphafold’s use on protein modelling vs ChatGPT. I would agree that AI...

    Not everything everyone writes is opinion, or of equal merit and weight. For example. Everything HillBill posts is a load of rubbish. = unsubstantiated opinion and hyperbole. That last post by HillBill was a load of rubbish = opinion with evidence, also hyperbole I think that HillBill’s last...

    Yew wood

    Typically love spoons are not used for eating. I admit that I would not be keen to use a yew spoon for stirring tea or soup.

    I approve your post, but don’t hold your breath. He hasn’t visited the site since December 2024.

    Sold Gerber BMF Survival Knife - yet another price drop - unused, never sharpened - £130 + £20 delivery

    Guess you posted without reading the thread. It says WITHDRAWN, so not for sale anymore. You claim to be in the US, so there isn’t so much as a snowflake in hells chance this can be shipped to you unless it is hand carried and mailed within the US. Not valuable enough for that really...

    Splitting logs into boards

    Are you familiar with the https://www.wood-database.com/wood-filter/ ? Basswood = lime wood Tulip poplar (not two different trees as suggested), aka yellow poplar. You could look at Black poplar. Poplar is sold as a utility type wood, rather plain, rather soft, fast growing. Not particularly...

    It moved … it was hopping!' One man's search for a wild wallaby in the UK

    I reckon “mob” is the correct group term. That’s what they call groups of kangaroos.

    Probably a good place to link a video warning of the dangers related to recent proliferation of “free” VPNs.

    Hey Guys I'm New Here...

    Welcome.:blueteame: Congratulations. That is one of the most impressive bogus scammer profiles we have seen anyone create. I say scammer, but you may well sell leather goods through that website, however, it’s clear it’s not what it presents itself as. It’s not UK based. Instead it’s part of...

    What is wrong with UK police?!

    I think I was wrong to let this thread run. Not enough posts trying to post more complete info. Unrelated angst getting posted in. One libellous post removed. Thread closed. Anyone wanting to know if there are updates in the case Richelieu-Booth says he will pursue can look them up in the...

    What is wrong with UK police?!

    The “rule” about social media posting has no relation to treatment of illegal migrants. Handling of guns in foreign places wasn’t what got Richelieu-Booth arrested. So it was unnecessary to bring migrants into the thread. Concern and even anger over the police arresting people for social...

    What is wrong with UK police?!

    Chap still has the posts of him holding guns up on LinkedIn if anyone is interested to look.

    What is wrong with UK police?!

    The opening post could be taken as trying to generate a reaction and that the subject could be political. Let’s not go down that route. However I think there is value to discuss it a bit. I saw this in the news, reported by a US pro gun channel, and thought there was more than they were...

    Yew wood

    That seems coincidental to me. I have worked yew for a few things and never noticed a problem. Rubbing the inside of your nose can cause redness without notional wood contact residue. Nearly all wood dust can be toxic to an extent if inhaled, even from “safe” wood like beech. Just touching...
