do you really believe more weapons keep peace? Look at history. More defense spending = more risks of war, not less.

I was and still is working in IT. vfr400 thought that I may chuckle reading your post #5. If you look up Companies House record, you can find that Woosh Bikes has always been headed by my wife, Harriet, she prefers to be called Hatti. She and I started an IT company in 1982 and she is still that...

there are a few negatives. There is the smell of melted PLA plastic. It's not very bad because the plastic is made from sugar so it does not smell as bad as plastic made from oil, but I get a bit of a headache from it. Next, you have to get the temperature of the heated bed right. It varies from...

those countries are current members of NATO. What makes you think that they would handle control to NATO more than they would to the EU?

which country do you think can boss Australia around? The USA of course. The fight for supremacy between the top two countries in the world, China and USA, is going to come sooner or later. USA is going to lose this time. Germany is nudging itself toward Russia and China. It's just a matter...

your comparison is wrong. There was a contract between France and Australia which has already been partly executed and was signed by Australia's previous PM Malcolm Turnbull. The new Australian PM Scott Morrison wanted to break this contract for some time, since June. It's like your firm ordered...

all the elements with atomic number 93+ (above Uranium) are man made, there are no patent as far as I know. I suspect that the reason that this guy (Pais) got those silly patents is to avoid peers reviews. He knows very well that matter acquires mass through the Higgs mechanism. Reducing the...

I think you confuse several things. It's about going back on a deal that has been signed by a previous government. If Australia simply buys more of US technology, Macron would have nothing to say. It's like BJ and the NI protocol.

the main problem with selling/buying transactions with the EU is not so much the costs. Transport and VAT are easily sorted. Documentation is the main problem. Most of the goods are manufactured abroard, in principle, we have to claim import duty and VAT paid to HMRC on each item and pay the EU...

our patent system can't dismiss unrealistic and unpractical ideas. In principle, you can for example transmute one element into another by bombarding it with electrons/protons/neutrons etc but you can't realistically or practically transmute a piece of jewellery because it would vaporise quite...

these ideas are pipedreams. The guy who invented/imagined them can't supply the calculations to support his ideas.

pure speculation. Macron did not make any such suggestion. He wants to appear tough because French presidential elections start April 22. Not long to go. But giving up the UNSC seat? not for a very long time.

then the government should increase their winter fuel allowance to compensate.

I don't understand why the regulator hasn't upped the cap. If government puts in place a cap, then it has to put in place the mechanism to deal with the mess that cap generates.

actually, an EU army is a better idea than NATO. Its objectives are closer to home than the war in Afghanistan and it's not dominated by any single country.

I have.

no, we don't know anymore than what is on wiki. It's just that I read up about it before I post.

tushingham2, the Woosh kits have internal speed sensor inside the motor wheel, yours doesn't. You will need to modify a 9-pin motor cable extension to piggyback an external speed sensor to solve this problem. Alternatively, send back the motor and ask them for one fitted with internal speed...

It's not hybrid. The Aussies don't need more than 1 or 2 nuclear subs. The rest are diesel. Even so, there is always auxiliary diesel engine on nuclear subs for when the reactor fails. The deal leaves the final choice of power source to later as Australia does not yet have the capacity of...

those subs can be fitted with both diesel engines and nuclear power generators. The French complain about lots of modifications to their designs, the Aussies complain about about price hikes.
