Re: Wildfires in the US
Granted some of this is inference. Henry Ford in the early days worked for Westinghouse and he and Edison became good friends. Edison and Rockefeller were business associates and Rockefeller used his influence to ensure the development of the infernal combustion engine. Much later both Ford and Rock...

Re: CAUTION working with your vehicle
It's not just vehicles that pose a risk of injury: A couple of weeks ago I was unscrewing the collet chuck from my lathe when blood started to cover everything. I found that my little finger had a deep slicing cut along the side of the nail, but it was so clean that I hadn't felt it happen. Ther...

Re: New guy here
Just wondered whether anyone has prescribed antibiotics at any time for it. I know it’s not a popular solution now but it doesn’t mean they don’t work. I have periodic bouts of eye infections about every couple years. Only cured when one ophthalmic consultant prescribed a course. He actually told me...

Re: Being Judged, Fired, for what you wear....
I am truly ambivalent on this issue. On the one hand I can sympathise with a person’s wish to express his personality in dress or body de oration but on the other there are some professions which demand a certain standard of dress or conformity to the norm. Speaking as a retired teacher this was som...

Re: What tha....
It still amazes me that these people believe they have the right to enforce their beliefs and behaviours on others. It’s the height of arrogance to presume that anyone has a monopoly on truth. No one screamed louder than them when religious gatherings were limited in recent lockdown restrictions. Be...

Re: Wildfires in the US
One of the reasons we’re so dependent upon the ic engine is because of the efforts of JD Rockefeller, working in cahoots with the self publicist Thomas Edison. They persuaded Henry Ford to develop the petrol fuelled device instead of working on alternatives, which he was keen to do. Good news for Ro...

Another dangerous nut job. I’m not even going to point out the factual errors in his letter as I can’t imagine any members of this forum remotely agreeing with him.
No wonder democracy has such a bad time with people like that allowed to vote.

Re: Scottish Hate Crime law
It’s all in the attitude of the one on the receiving end. Some women are flattered by wolf whistles some feel threatened. The failsafe is that it is NOT accepatable. Don’t do it. Some men can handle negative comments some feel abused. It is NOT acceptable. Like wise outright threats are not acceptab...

Re: Can man look good in dress?
Who really cares whether they look masculine or feminine as SD said they are social constructs anyway. I was really surprised when a sales assistant commented that I must be brave to wear a pink jumper I was purchasing. It had honestly never occurred to me there was any issue. Wear what makes you fe...

Re: Scottish Hate Crime law
When I read Pelmut’s first post in this thread I was so angry at the quote from forwomenscotland that I had to take a break before replying. A group like this that basically accuses skirt wearers of being sex offenders is dangerous indeed. Likewise to use the term paraphilia in this way insinuates t...

Re: Can man look good in dress?
It didn’t even occur to me whether it was a masculine look or not The answer is definitely yes. You look good in those dresses.
I agree you look like a man. Not a man pretending to be a woman or a caricature of one

Re: Wildfires in the US
I don’t know how long ago this occurred and who told you that but current costs for a domestic 2kw installation give a payback period of less than 5 years ( less if you’re prepared to do some of the work yourself) and that’s assuming no increase in the cost of purchasing electricity. The larger the ...
