    I think we have discussed this scenario some time ago. The general consensus is if you run your generator on public road, you are carrying out an economic activity that is not authorised on the road - such as 'manufacturing' on the road. If you stop at a layby and run your generator there then...

    No Deal

    Everyone in the trade knows that the given reasons that Chinese imports hurt European manufacturers unfairly because Chinese companies received unfair subsidies have a ring of truth but do not justify the scale of the anti dumping tariff: 37.5% to 73.4%. Chinese imported bikes had to pay 6%...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am resigned to follow Trump's scheming to get what he wants through the Court after he lost at the ballot box. Although it's his right to pursue his goal through the Courts, I am disgusted that Trump would not mind dragging any US institution through the mud with lawyers like Giuliani and Lin...

    the electoral college will vote on Monday, Trump will accept the result of that vote. Yesterday was the end of the line for Trump's effort to get what he wants.

    as predicted, SCOTUS threw out yesterday Trump's attempt to win the election through the US Supreme Court. Perhaps Nigel and vfr will now leave the subject alone.

    No change. The most noticeable aspect of current opinion poll is how bad the government is handling brexit: Bad: 64 Well: 23 Don't know: 13 and generally, people still like extending the transition and blame the conservatives' attitude for no deal. Brexit | YouGov

    The plastic chainguard is attached to the chainguard bracket at the front with two crosshead screws. It can happen that we may have not lined up the chainguard properly when we fitted it. If the chainguard is too close to the ring, it can make the rubbing noise you described. If that is the...

    drug deaths in Scotland: 1,187 in the whole of 2018 It's a big problem but that's less than 3 days of Covid deaths in the whole of UK.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The ROI should be concerned about the possibility of no deal to the same extent that the UK should also because the law of economics is that our most important trading partners are our neighbours. I think on balance, both outcomes (deal and no deal) are worth about the same in the short term: we...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    SCOTUS is likely to dismiss that silly bid tomorrow. Trump uses litigations to fund his own future. To me, Trump is the most corrupted politician there is. Without legal protection of his office, Trump would have been taken to Court for defrauding his followers. Supreme Court: Battleground...

    very good question. I have tried to read up about it. It seems that I will have to register with the TSS scheme and nominate Tuffnells as my authorised courier. Sign up for the Trader Support Service - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

    yes, the Hick boson is experimentally confirmed so we can build on that. We know that we can assemble DNA molecules by machines and the molecules will self re-produce. So we can create life from patterns. We also are close to understand memory, I assume we should be able to upload ourselves into...

    one possible solution for faster than light travel is to use 'stargate' devices. Consider what sub-atomic particles are made of. They are excitations of various space quantum fields such as the Hick field. So if the stargate device re-creates the Hick field at the destination from the pattern of...

    Apparently George Eustice said that in case of no deal, we'll maintain WTO tariff wall until many trade deals are concluded. So we are set to face up to 40% tariff selling our cheeses to the EU, 13% on lamb while we are obliged to continue to take on 80,000 tons of frozen NZ lamb tariff free...

    the issue is when you go faster than about 0.99c - with c being the speed of light in vacuum, the energy required to maintain 1G is way over any mean of producing it. The speed of light barrier is not like the sound barrier, matter has electromagnetic interaction, so it cannot go faster than...

    The nearest earth like planet, Proxima B is 4 lightyears away. There is no hope for human to travel there and back. We may send a device but not humans. Faster than light communications may be possible one day but not sending a breathing human at faster than light speed.

    I am more worried about sending my bikes to NI. Although I assemble them in Southend-On-Sea, I may have to supply a certificate of origin with the bikes. What would I put on the certificate?

    ideal conditions for any test: high purity + high viral load. Covid PCR gives between 2% to 29% false negatives. That means that the test has between 71%-98% sensitivity. The problem is the error is subject to interpretation. The PCR test has very high specificity, so the errors are are...
