Re: 24/04/21 everybody welcome here mass trespass

Yes, I know I should let this go ... so apologies for not doing. While out with the dogs, I was thinking about this as you do and I thought. What would happen if ER were to organise a mass litter pick? Not only would it produce a real positive benefit almost instantly (I can only imagine how many t...

And currently theres no gathering of vested interests.
Also, which organisation is likely to attract more young people and get them making their voice heard; the ramblers or XR?

Re: 24/04/21 everybody welcome here mass trespass

to mark the 89th aniversary of the kinder trespass and highlight the poor state of access in ENGLANDANDWALES right to roam and extinction rebellion are encouraging a mass trespass. FTFY It's not like nobody on here has ever highlighted the different access legislation in Scotland. Oh yeah. Whoops.

https://www.shapeways.com/product/XF3QSGQSY/converter-for-garmin-gps-etrex-to-edge-mount I bought one of those. Not use it much - and managed to break it last week...

Re: What are you reading now?

I learnt from an ecologist friend the other day that queen bees (unsure which species, or all) are able to store the male's semen after mating, and release it to inseminate her eggs whenever she chooses (though I assume it has a best before date). Such a great fact that I only need the smallest exc...

Re: Any 3D printerers around?

Just be wary using PLA, might be a bit brittle. I've got some black nylon setup on the printer at the moment if your struggling Dave. This might be a better option @techno but I've kicked one off anyway so lets see how it turns out ok dave, lets see how it goes and if its sub standard i'll upgrade ...

because it is doing my feckin nut in.
Extremely Quiet spoken programs playing from my phone, radio, headphones, podcasts etc. I also listen to classical music sometimes.
That has been my technique for tuning out the noise for the last 15 years now.
