Scottish Mist

Womanly reminded me of something that makes me happy…. bottoms :)

I’ve never heard of half of these people.

A Genie offered me 3 wishes once… my first was to ask for an extra wish… he said.. “Fine, you now have 3 wishes”

I then asked for a willy that could touch the ground…. the next morning I woke up with no legs.

I don’t deal with Genies anymore after that.

In all honestly though…. just a long hug with someone I love is all I wish for atm

Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins…

All very small, and all make you very happy :P …

Being serious though….

1.) Dreyfer(My Doggo)… He has changed and still is changing my view of the world  in a very positive way, I would go as far to say that the little fellow has saved my life on many occasions.

2.) Spring… The life I…[Read more]

I did some time on the flowers in the desert hydroponics program a few years ago.   How it was done at time was raw sewage solids in 50 gallon tank flittering  water thru powered by a 40w solar pump.

Electronic monitoring systems are more about salad vegetables reaching the supermarket shelfs on time and maximizing profits.

The chart you post on…[Read more]

I know what hydroponics is. Its very energy intensive for the yield, but the bigger problem would be all of the nutrients you have to add to the water. These would be hard to come by without importing them. You also need of of the electronic monitoring systems which requires things that aren’t made here.

Not according to the government. The…[Read more]

You seem blissfully out of date 

Using hydroponics, Humber  grow cumbers  and Kent grows tomatoes.   In  main cites they grow cannabis.  Its not 1939 and we can grow food anywhere these days.  In vitro fertilization means we’re no long depend randy bull in a field.

The only reason the UK food production is down was due to EU quoters…[Read more]

I’m pretty sure we can’t even black start the national grid, because it depends on so much other infrastruture that itself requires the electrical grid to be online.

That’s part of the reason why we trade electricity with other nations. I imagine in particular that France’s nuclear reactors would be very important in stabalising the voltage on…[Read more]

That is all very naive Fishy.

There wouldn’t be any food to distribute without imports, the UK doesn’t have enough land to feed 80 million people. Even if we somehow magically summoned more land into existance, we would still have to import chemicals to fertalise the land, pesticides, and machinery to farm the crops.

Fire engines aren’t much…[Read more]

Oh God….. where to start on this

Our rail network was built to transport freight not people. Few in the UK who aren’t within 20 miles of railway station. The system was mostly updated to electric over the last 40 years too.  In an emergency main stations will be used for food distribution.

For those areas outside the rail network m…[Read more]

Im sure land rovers probably have some critical uses somewhere in forestry or agriculture, but JLR is just one example, all car makers are running a limited production due to shortages.

Do we need cars to live?

In the modern world, yes.

We need cars to get to work, lorries and vans to transport goods, ambulences to take people to the hospital, ect.

Do you need a Land Rover to live?

The truth is we produce oil and gas from the north sea, float in a sea of fish and  wheat output is at 14.75 million to…[Read more]

This Daily Mail article gets the reason wrong, but it proves that production has been suspended.

Silicon is only made in a few factories, mostly in Taiwan, that all operate at 100% capacity.

The car industry underestimated demand for new cars so they canceled their orders with TSMC, so the production capacity was sold to other customers (mostly…[Read more]

Most of them?

More or less everything is still reliant on just in time manufacturing.

For example, Jaguar Land Rover has shut down most of its car production due to the global silicon shortage, which is disrupting supply chains in nearly every industry in every country.

People seem to keep demanding sources, so heres one I guess…[Read more]

Ok look at our imports.

Here are our exports.

United Kingdom’s Top 10 Exports

How many are “essential” ?

Lol.

Somer took the comment out of context.  On a river bank there no time to set up forms for concrete  and there little access for delivery’s of ready mix.   Its why we only use piling.

No you have.

There are plans in place to ensure essential supplies are available.  From food to petrol, drugs to water. The UK can go 1 to 2 years without any manufacturing or imports.

If you look around at renewable  low maintenance energy projects that have pop up in the last few years you’ll have idea of the kind of planning inv…[Read more]

You missed the point again…
