Wednesday [12 to 17]

Afternoon all.  Sorry, was waylaid checking on new Twitter follows, wondering what's going on.

17.  Wood burning

Andy

Well, this is a surprise! Not.

Ripper

Roger Bisby, a.k.a the Skill Builder, despite his take on "saving the planet" and "doing our bit" does mostly come out with common sense approaches and here, rants about heat pumps.

Personally, I couldn't give a sh*t about the planet. I'll do what it takes to live as affordably as possible, i.e, free or nearest offer. Wood burners rule - they belch carbon.

I also see that throughout all this zero carbon crap that only a couple of alternatives have been allowed. For example, you would think that at some point the Griggs cavitation heater would get a mention as a viable way to heat a home very cheaply. 

Another thing which is ignored about air source heat pumps is that a lot of their output is wasted in the losses transferring the heat into water to feed radiators, which transfer it again back into the air with more losses. It could be transferred straight into the air from the pump and blown throughout the home through particulate filters.

15.  Later roundup


How is he a "Briton"?  Asking for a friend.



14.  I assumed this was a joke

... a Babylon Bee type thing ... I suggest you check it out for yourself ... ain't no joke:



Jaw drops.

13.  Twitter acting strangely


This is one of the latest crop of followers. Twitter suggests I include an age statement, might do so.  Aside from them, it's mainly MAGA and Christian, male and female.

Meanwhile, imagine being followed around by these two thugs below ... anyone seen them before?  They have the bearing of either pollies or Jehovah's Witnesses:


The one on our right is striding ahead of the other, less imposing creature.  Wouldn't want to meet them on a dark night.


Oops, another follower ... starting to think someone's put me on one of the lists ... a cruel joke at my age ... I notice they do disappear once I fail to follow back.

And anyway, what guarantee is there that they'd even be female these days? Bit of a horrible thought, that.

  2. #19 The enforcers. Notice the clenched fists.
    His mate minding his back has his sharpened edge throwing plate cum bullet proof shield ready in one hand and the other holding the Glock 19 in his coat pocket. But he still looks like Max Headroom.

  3. re #13: It's been an issue since the 90s - Thank goodness I'm beyond it these days, but who'd want to get far/close enough to find out! Not even the prescence of kids seems absolute any more!

    Wood Energy

    Wood energy refers to the use of wood and its derivatives as a source of energy. It is possible to produce electricity by burning biomass, as in a conventional thermal power plant. However, the vast majority of wood energy resources are currently used for domestic wood heating, mainly in the form of logs. It is a source of energy considered renewable, insofar as the forest is managed in a sustainable way.
