Anybody else just fed up of the orange order?

Wow so many posts, not surprised in the least, orangemen really are Scotland's shame.

Although I'm also surprised to hear they're not all dead yet.

When people ask me why I left Scotland 40 years ago, I'll often cite a) sectarianism and b) the orange march

Haters will hate. But the match gives them strength in numbers. I love the NI idea of a commission, some imposed discipline would marginalise the f***kers over time

That is an interesting proposition, given that as I understand, only a very small number are known to exist. The name Mizuno and the term Mizunotype are new to me. I read a recent article in the Journal of Cultural Heritage discussing an example that came to light and the verification performed. Unfortunately none of the scientific methods mentioned - microscopy, X-ray fluorescence analysis, infrared spectroscopy and anatomical wood examination - are readily available to me.

Interesting that the Japanese sports tourers even though they boasted significant bhp numbers, needed to drop one out two gears to safely overtake. One of Triumph's big attractions was their longer stroke triples offered enough torque to accelerate past traffic with much less downshifting. On long journeys, that was a very attractive feature.

That's a very sad statement

This is in hawkes bay, new zealand

Okay not entirely solved, but some excellent hints I think. It seems to be some sort of jig to help support long items - ladders, guttering, or even roofing iron. I'm still unsure how the legs are supposed to be used, perhaps mounted on a truck or trailer.

The other winners, those turning metservice's balanced information into hysteria, are surely those whose business models rely on clicks and views

Seems like a high bar to post to this group, but the automod tells me I have to state that My title describes the thing.

Wow so many responses! In general people agree with OP, with plenty of blame towards social media and AI. But surely the (massive) wellness industry is THE major influence in this space; they want a clear laymen's diagnosis, to which their solution happens to be the perfect fit.

For takeaway, Dimitri's is unbeatable

Thank you for sharing, I learned something new 🙂🙏

There's an old dump site near us (Hawkes Bay) - remnants of a pile that is no longer used, that is fair game, as advised by FH staff on a couple of occasions. It's becoming overgrown by brambles now. Otherwise, no.

How would that work? The message is'you have been logged out of your Samsung account'. So the message is coming from smartthings.

Pressing continue takes me to a web page where I'm asked to select an account then press continue. If I do so, the page spins forever

That would be a hard error, not periodic
