I bought a Rocket Stove back in 2019 (a camping model off Amazon), i have yet to use it but from what i've read and seen on internet it creates very little smoke due to combustion of the gasses given off. Might have to do a trial run in case the UK collapses into rolling blackouts this winter. edited for more info.

Guavanaut posted:They can be very touchy about the fuel-air mix and wood moisture content. If you run them on dry chopped sticks they're fine once they're hot, but I've seen them mostly decide to make thick wet smoke before. Good to know, i've got a lot of wind but unfortunately also a lot of wet sticks, i'll store some to dry out for future use.

Scottish flags have gone out of favour for some reason (i wonder why j/k). Let them stay on their poles and let the wind and time do their job on them... it's surely no concern of mine.

Failed Imagineer posted:Always an interesting phenomenon that the Irish republic gives no shits for Remembrance day, despite 200k Irish (>5% of the total Irish population at the time) volunteering to fight. A Rebellion followed by a Civil War will mess people up for a long time.... and grudges tend to be held and passed on to younger generations, for good or ill.

fuctifino posted:But yeah, if it was the remembrance day service that was targeted, it could very easily be the start of Irish republican action on the mainland, due to the tearing up of the GFA. Can't see them doing anything preemptive, and current SF policy is to sit back and let the DUP accelerate reunification instead.  If an enforced border is implemented here i honestly have no idea what will happen as regards a republican response.

smellmycheese posted:They are claiming they cannot find someone to supply them a bread roll in Northern Ireland lol. 'They are unwilling to pay a higher price for the bread rolls' would be my take on things. Regarding here in N.I. things look to be fairly good, we won't starve and the food selection is still better than i had available in the 1970s. I'll take some pork, leek & honey sausages from McAtamney's Butchers over any imported ones from the UK every single time.

You're damned right it wasn't covered, they were discussing things without any 'spin' and you don't want the general public to see that if it can be avoided. edit: big scary monsters posted:Thank you for the additional Article 16 explanations! So it sounds like the status quo (in this limited aspect) is basically fine for people in NI in practical terms, but ideologically unacceptable to the Conservative and Unionist Party and their political allies? That's a valid assessment. Things were good without the border.... nobody cared too much and we just lived our lives. Just Another Lurker fucked around with this message at 11:41 on Nov 16, 2021 |
