What is the reasoning that an impact driver will split timber less. The impact mechanism is to increase torque, not hammer the screws in.

Because of this. And this And we have historical responsibilities, that few of us want to take responsibility for. This last chart is often used to pat ourselves on the back with, and to blame the rest of the world, which we have become very good at doing.

Like oily herring.

Well I would also let everyone down, then run away.

The emmets down here have learnt how to keep them away. They throw them food, so they are well fed. (expletive deleted)ing morons. (I do find it funny when a gull takes a small child's ice cream though)

Got taken there, in 1973, to see the sea frozen over. Bet that has not happened in the last 2 decades.

Take it as you will. No point trying to convince you is there.

22 years, double what @Pocster has managed so far. Well done

Then go back and reread what I said about the system is wrong, not the technology. I also mentioned that the price has dropped, but you have not acknowledged that. So stop being selective and belligerent and read what people bother to type, rather than you typing the same stuck record.

Well the auction for new generation closes today. Let's see what happens there. I do find it strange that the technology is being misrepresented and blamed for high prices, when it is the large percentage of marginal pricing contracts that are the problem. But it is OK, the Deform deputy leader (pretty easy job that as not many people to bully about) has said that 'the renewables industry is on notice' and the expert reports and surveys are lies. I am now offering you all, exactly what you want to hear, as long as you vote for me. No proofs needed as you can trust me because I have no political experience.

They have come down though. Just not as much as you want them to. There are many things that I want to be cheaper, housing is one of them. You don't want that to be cheaper though. The cost of caring for the elderly is another thing I want cheaper, but I also want it to a higher standard. Sometimes we just have to suck it all up, it hurts, but the alternatives are usually much more costly.

Certainly worked for the Brexit campaign.

@ProDave There you go, a few seconds googling. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/why-is-cheap-renewable-electricity-so-expensive/

There will be plans about that. Just does not make very interesting news. Whenever change is mooted, it is not unusual for an ignorant minority to become very vocal. Sadly they get uncritically listened to.

Could you show me some recent research to back that up. I fail to see how increasing the percentage of the cheapest forms of electrical generation, which also has environmental improvements makes things more expensive and more damaging. We have target dates for many energy generation types (why we don't burn coal in power stations in the UK, or do you think we still do), we also have environmental targets that are backed up with criminal convictions. So we have a cheaper technology, a more environmentally benign technology, money to pay for it, targets to reach, laws and sanctions if we don't, but you, who has not studied the subject, claims to know that it will all fail. Next time you need something done, say surgery, wall built, or a sandwich made, go and find the cheapest, unqualified, under equipped and ignorant person you can find to do it. Let us all know how it went.

I think if it was at the individual, rather than the corporate, level, then a lot of people would make changes. Just hiking the price of the product has probably not made a huge reduction in usage (usage reduction is the key at the moment), and it has been totally blamed, in Joe Public's eye, on the situation in Ukraine. There are probably a few million people in the UK that think that Ukraine should surrender to Russia as they have convinced themselves that if they do, they will halve their bills. A Big Mac costs around £5.80, it has 2127 kJ of energy, 0.6 kWh. That is £9.66/kWh. Electricity, deliver to your home is £0.25/kWh. Beer is almost £20/kWh. Probably best not to take advice in a MaccyDs or your mates in the pub.

Same facts as 150 years ago. How a heat engine works was formulated at a similar time. It does depend which people you ask about climate change. Ask someone from an area that has had a long draught, or flood, and they may give a different reply. About 15 years ago I was shown a climate projection for Europe. Basically the temperatures in all areas would be higher, but more extreme the further east you went. There would be greater rainfall as well. As it was an ensemble projection, it was not just one lucky guess. Shown that the science was well understood then. Part of the reason that electricity prices are high is that the price structure was set up to encourage investment in RE. For the UK this has worked well (about 50% of the energy is from RE), the problem is that there was not better monitoring, decisions making and control of the marginal pricing, so it is probably time to radically change the system. Or just put a realistic CO2e tax in place.

When you're sad and when you're lonely, and you haven't got a friend Just remember that death is not the end And all that you've held sacred, falls down and does not mend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end When you're standing on the crossroads that you cannot comprehend Just remember that death is not the end And all your dreams have vanished and you don't know what's up the bend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end When the storm clouds gather 'round you, and heavy rains descend Just remember that death is not the end And there's no one there to comfort you, with a helpin' hand to lend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end Oh, the tree of life is growing Where the spirit never dies And the bright light of salvation shines In dark and empty skies When the cities are on fire with the burning flesh of men Just remember that death is not the end And you search in vain to find just one law-abiding citizen Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end

It is more to do with safety. They are also isolating transformers, so inherently safer. The reason 110V was chosen, so I was told by an electrical engineer who trained in the 1940s, was that the equipment was cheaper as the USA had a much bigger and efficient manufacturing base, and the War Debt to them was huge, so a bit like the Ethanol agreement with Trump, we agreed to buy their equipment.

Can I suggest that you go to university and study Climate Change, its mitigations and costs. I did.

So why did they not up the quote to £29,700. That way they would have made almost an extra £700. Most of our business is by card, that just gets priced in. It is the cheapest way to handle transactions now. Cash is by far the most expensive. If a company will not take a Credit Card payment, which has inherited credit worthiness checks built in (not AmEx payments), then ask why.

So you don't think that the recent rise in food prices has anything to do with climate change. Or the imminent collapse of North Atlantic white fish. How about reservoir water levels? Or road depredation due to thermal cycling. If you think that the UK has no global influence, you must have forgotten about our global insurance industry, that pays out £bn. And our investment banks that finance energy projects globally. Then there is our Met Office, Exeter University, the Hadley Centre that disseminated climate information to governments, globally. Is that enough about the UKs global influence? Or are you still stuck in the 1850s with the Brunels building railways across the globe with British steel and determination (back by British fire power). The British just about invented globalisation, so no point saying this island is irrelevant, the environmental harm caused will have to be paid for, and if that means, as one of the wealthiest nations the earth has ever known, we have to pay 7% of our median income rather than 5%, to keep houses over heater, so be it. It is better that the alternative Facts, not perception, is reality.

About 800 RPM then. Which I think is about 4.5 m.s-1. Which is quite slow. If it was granite, you could go 5 to 6 times quicker.

Start one about overturning forces, in a moment.

Piano hinges maybe. Or sturdy gate ones. You could fit some pins and adjoining holes to keep the two halves level when loaded. You can get them as anti burglary fittings for doors.
