That photo sucks!

Is that your new outhouse pump?

Scammy, I don't want to alarm you, but Photo 4 of 5 may be a Cylon.

Yes, here is a good example. Suicide is never rational, but decapitating yourself with a chainsaw is simply weird.

If that thing uses internal combustion, and judging from your list of 'specs' and the diagram you linked to, it does, then you are an idiot and should be locked up for your own safety.

I am also working on a high-power high-efficiency motor, I can't release any technical details, but it uses an electromagnetic repulsive force to operate, provided the squirrel is properly caged...

They're currently testing a mung bean based engine as we speak.

That's one hell of a brand message.

It's the same as a knife in the back with our South African cops going "eish, I zinks it was da murder eh?"..

That only happens at Deepcut, doesn't it?

Not a nice place to do your basic, believe me. Thank fcuk I did mine up t'north.

I remember watching a documentary on Deepcut, probably Panorama. How they get away dismissing contradicting forensic evidence is beyond me. And by contradictory, I mean going against common fcuking sense, not just the half arsed inquires they put on. That's 'put on' as in staged a fcuking farce.

What summed it up as a farce for me was the verdict on... (quicky reads article again to jog memory)... the 2001 incident in the guardhouse. "Gunshot wounds consistent to those of self harm". The fcuking rifle had been fired five times....

It long had a nasty rep, Deepcut. Depending on where you're from depends on where you do your basic. A lot of Paras are southerners, so they'd go to Deepcut. As a thick brummie, I was at Catterick up north. We'd swap stories about the regimes when we did our paratroop training, and they had it a fcuk sight worse than us. The beastings that were dished out were too much. I understand the need for harsh regimes during training, it makes the British soldier who he us and it's why we kick arse on the battlefield more than most, but that place, the sooner they close it the better.

The families will never get justice, that's the sad thing. The memories of their kids are tainted with the stench of those inquests. I agree, capital punishment for those responsible.

money.

What do you expect if you let politicians get involved?

Sounds like our government alright.

That was a cheap way for me to gain attention. Lame.

You know, what I like about these forums is that everything is recorded. After years you can go back and read yourself.

The emissions are still proving a hinderence to the project.

I think it's time to put something in perspective WRT electric-vs-petrol.

Electric motors - use these on the normal passenger vehicles. Cars available to the public. This is because these cars spend a lot of their time stationary, with engine running, while waiting for a light to go green or the traffic jam to subside/move. This is sound from an environment perspective, but it isn't. More on this later.

Save the internal combustion engine for the race track (F1, hobby/weekend racing, rallying, etc). Under those conditions a motor'll last longer, but some of these freaks insist that it's the sound of the engine they like.

About 1 in 10 cars I've heard at a place like Killarney or Wesbank (while it was still open, or have they opened it again?) sounds awesome. About another 2 will sound okay to good. The rest either sound like a fart in a coffee can or as if something inside is screwed. Usually both.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that with the appropriate R&D, an electric setup will come about that'll completely blow the internal combustion engine out of the water.

From an environmental perspective, though, the electric motor isn't such a good thing. The batteries will have to be charged from the national power grid, which has its own environment emissions. So the apparent carbon reduction is negated, and a further problem is introduced due to a lot of power grids already running closer to capacity than they should be. Look at the USA. Their power grid was running at about 90% load a few years back. Imagine if just 10% of the population were to switch to electric cars. BLACKOUTS!

And I can't attack them without looking inward to my own country. Um, the electric car won't go over too well here either, since our own power grid is not in the best of health. Actually, it's semi-screwed.

Upshot of the matter, we're stuffed.

Discuss.

This topic is old and dull. In my infinite wisdom, I have already addressed the issue and provided a simple and effective solution. Burn the fcuking hippies. Job done.

*Hugs tree*

Aaah, come on. I know you want to [hug the tree].

After hugging a tree? [/persistent focker]

*sets tree on fire*

Nah, I'm not into trees.

*hugs attractive blonde woman*

i thought it would be a 'Other' hug.

oh and mugz
