That link explains the situation much more clearly than the one I shared (now removed as yours is better).

Since the pullback in January silver has been moving more or less sideways in a range between £50-£70 for the past six months. The shortage hasn't gone anywhere so it's still inevitable that the price has to shoot up at some point soon. It's taking longer than I initially expected but my...

New farming laws mean that Dartmoor Ponies are at risk of becoming extinct due to new culling rules. :( How ironic that one of England's most famous wild animals which have lived and grazed on Dartmoor since the bronze age are now at risk of becoming extinct due to new 're-wilding' laws. This...

My guess is by forcing adults to sign in with facial recognition or Digital ID.

No it's not for me. I don't quite trust it. I'm not saying it will be a blatant pump and dump. It might not be and likely some people will probably get very rich from it. What I feel though is it's future is too unpredictable and risky for me personally. I can't help but wonder what would...

I'm considering re-buying back into oil again soon as I can't see this current ceasefire in the Middle East holding for very long (I do hope I'm wrong about this even if that means losing money on a trade). I'm undecided whether I should give it another day or two to see if the price falls a...

I do hope not. I've only just bought my first catapult and started practicing with it a couple of months ago. It's a fun little hobby every now and then. :) Looking at the lot who seem to be in charge of our institutions these days I wouldn't be surprised if they do ban them though. :(

I want one of those. No idea what for. I just want one.

Please excuse my noob question here. :) Would a sharpening rod be the easiest tool to use on a long curved blade such as a billhook?

Luckily I've never had to cope with any long term service cuts. A couple of days without water and a couple of hours without electric is the longest I've ever experienced. For the power cut I didn't even bother to dig out my 12v to 230v portable inverter and 12v Leisure battery (which is always...

If you're lucky enough to see a gap in the clouds there's a chance of aurora tonight.

It doesn't make sense. It probably isn't supposed to. The people who tell us we need to change our diets, drive electric cars and replace ancient farmland with short-lifespan, toxic solar panels because of Net Zero 'reasons' are the same people that fly around in private jets, turn a blind eye...

I have. :) Within walking distance of my house there's a small scruffy patch of unused land which has been totally neglected by the council and everyone else for at least the past 25 years. For as long as I have known it has always been overgrown with nothing there apart from brambles and...

I bet they already have done. If they can they probably will. Gradually at first but likely it is already becoming more common and is well on its way to progressing into becoming a standard battlefield procedure. That's just my suspicion with no evidence to back it up though. The Rubicon which...

Other than trimming back the hedges and removing poisonous plants such as ragwort we leave our meadows to nature all year round. The horses and rabbits seem to instinctively know how to manage the grass themselves better than I do and judging by how our fields look compared to other peoples this...

It's an interesting theory which I first read about in the excellent science fiction book Glory Lane by Alan Dean Foster back in the 1980's. Will computers ever be powerful enough to 'play out' every possible permutation of every scenario possible? Maybe but I doubt it. Wouldn't that require...

Certainly the the robotics and AI technology has been capable of automation for some time (just look at self-driving Tesla cars a an example). All that is required to make the existing hardware fully operational is a software or command update. As for a new arms race, I think that has already...

Last night Neil McCoy-Ward released a video discussing our governments recent green-lighting of using AI controlled killer robots which can operate without human oversight. https://rumble.com/v7anwe8--danger-just-approved-ai-controlled-lethal-weapons...-no-human-oversight-.html

Sorry to hear your bad news. :( Hope something else comes up soon.

Having a bit of a shuffle round at the moment selling old watches which don't get worn and buying new watches to replace them. I've just ordered this.
