    Camera in your pocket thread.

    Beautiful! One of the Lymantriidae moth caterpillars. I can't see enough of it to be absolutely certain of the species, but it looks like the green form of the Pale Tussock moth larva, Calliteara pudibunda. .

    Something different from taking a 15mm long insect back home with me: These are the parts responsible for the click beetles huge jumping ability which is equivalent to a human jumping about 60 feet vertically from a standstill. The beetle is upside down here, the prong is on the thorax...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is curious though, that those who want to leave the EU vote for the party most strongly in favour of remaining in. Seems to indicate a lack of logic when there were four other choices. .

    This guy and his Jack Russell. What should I do?

    As a cyclist I only ever complained about a dog once, a farm owned greyhound that would aggressively chase me trying to bite my ankles every time I passed. After I spoke with the farmer who calmly accepted my complaint, he shot the dog dead a few seconds later as I was leaving. The moral is...

    Maybe he likes OG's staying power, posting frequency or avatar. Text content isn't the only thing one can like. :) You can give me a Like for my little bird if you want to. .

    New Cyclamatic

    Nice bike and very good at that price. 36 volt too, unlike their earlier model. That Europe shipping price could simply be that they don't want to sell any there for some reason. Maybe waranty support difficulties or the bike is already sold there by another company and they've agreed not to...

    Shimano Steps W012 warning message

    I don't know the system but am certain it will be torque sensored like all other similar crank units that I know well. This message: "W012 The crank may be installed in the wrong direction. - Re-install the crank in the specified direction, then turn the power back on." could be referring to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, added to by the recent release of pension funds and the current threat of inflation. Now, on the approach to Brexit, is the worst possible time to have this weakened national state. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, and made even worse by people spending savings and pension funds, since low interest rates and rising inflation means it's better spent now than lose value in future. The combination of huge personal debt and very low savings for investment is a recipe for decline. To have this...

    The Elements

    Two points on bike covers: Some e-bikes are longer than standard bikes, so check the intended cover is long enough for your bike. When using, make sure there's a wide gap between the bottom of the cover and the ground to allow adequate air circulation. This is especially important when...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the unionists would have something to say about that! Anything that even hints at any separation from the UK is anathema to them. That the loyalists would probably celebrate such a move could only fan the flames. The sensitivities there are extraordinary in their scope and intensity. .

    Thanks Tillson. I think he may well be convicted yet, since there is clear evidence pointing to possible criminality. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Shiner is acknowledged as having conducted some successful and fully justified cases against the army. The fact that he later adopted criminal ways of obtaining false evidence is a red herring, since that can be done with any law whatsover, no matter how it is amended. And the abuse of the...
