General Discussion Area / Good advice
« on: 26 November 2017, 01:46:34 »
I've been cooking a mega-hot winter warmer Chilli Con-Carne using chopped fresh 1.4m Scoville scale Komodo Dragon chillis. :y :y :y

My good advice is that even if you have washed your hands, don't rub your eyes a bit later. :o :o :o :'( :'( :'(

"Expert who co-authored a detailed report for Britain’s Department of Health (1999) into London’s traffic pollution pours cold water on Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s latest push to ban diesel cars."

"Dismayed that Mayor Khan is either scientifically ill-informed or more likely pursuing a tax raising strategy by deceit, Hoskins emphasized that since the publication of his 1999 report  “new diesel technologies have substantially reduced the problem.”Hoskin adds, “NOx chemically breaks down within a day or so and thus rapidly disappears as a pollutant.”"

"Rather than seeking to whip up yet another bogus environmental scare story Hoskins urges political figures like London’s Mayor Khan to take a balanced view of the proven scientific evidence."

Who would have guessed that a Liebour tree hugging politician would use fake news to raise taxes, where they can always spend waste our hard earned money, rather than letting us better spend it ourselves. >:( >:( >:(

General Discussion Area / A380 un-contained engine failure
« on: 30 September 2017, 20:51:15 »
Could have been much worse as it is always a very serious matter when any engine turbine failure is not contained by the engine casing.

General Discussion Area / External agents setting our laws
« on: 12 September 2017, 03:02:42 »
One of my major objections to EU membership is people of other countries (who probably won't have our interests at heart) setting our laws. We have now also got certain people who weren't born in this country, but we have generously allowed to reside here and take residency in many cases regularly using our courts to make our politicians vote on things that in the past have been taken as covered by the Royal Prerogative.

I have two major concerns here:

1. The running of our political processes being decided in what are increasingly politized courts rather than by our elected politicians under systems that have served us well for 100's of years. After all democracy and elections are about giving MP's the power to make decisions on our behalf.

2. Much like in my opening statement individuals or organization they belong to who may or may not be foreign agents interfering in our political processes. In the US if you are working on behalf of a foreign government or organization as a foreign agent you have to register to interfere in their political processes including lobbying. They recognise the dangers of their political processes being interfered with by foreign agents.

Now I understand there is a line to be drawn here on people's rights but should there be restrictions on those who were not born here or who represent foreign interests on how they can access our courts to challenge our political processes, so we don't end up with the external subversion of our democracy?

When Hurricane Harvey struck and he ended up with 3' of water in his garden, garage and house, the obvious priority was saving his cars. :y :y :y

General Discussion Area / Big latencies in communications via space

When a very distant cousin contacts. I hope it for more than wanting to borrow a cup of sugar? ::) ::) ::)

Once earth sends a reply it will only take 3 billion years to reach there and then another 3 billion years for earth to get the reply. ;D ;D ;D

Problem: No eclipse eye protection glasses.

Solution: Spray sun screen on your eyeballs and then look at the sun. What could possibly go wrong?

As reported by the local hospital's eye clinic.
