That's pretty damn impressive. I love this sort of tech, even if it's way outside my price range.
Out of interest: How selective do you have to be regarding wood type, and grain, and such? What sort of percentage-fail do you get for splitting or cracking, etc, in the fine detail?

I was so traumatised by the loss of my last dog, that it took me an age to get a new one... but Cosmo is just the sweetest, silliest, toothiest little monster. I wish you all the best with your future pooch.

Is "Unschooling" the same as "homeschooling" though?
We homeschool. I like to think our kid's going to come out of it knowing a lot about maths, science, history, and the world.
Just not the creepy anti-vax, anti-science, chemtrail, pro-n*zi, flat-erf, SovCit stuff. Other than to stay upwind.

Maybe if we all promised to pay Nickywilly a couple of dollars for every WFH day we use, so that she could donate it to a Wellington cafΓ© of her choice?

You'd think that being able to rent smaller office spaces, and getting workers to pay for their own electricity use and amenities would appeal to businesses.
WFH is just such a no-brainer, even if it's just a day or two a week.

#StarTrek: #Voyager launched in 1995 with a bold idea. Two crews...one Starfleet, one Maquis... stranded seventy thousand light years from home.
Into this mix we have Commander Chakotay. And the controversy surrounding the character.

It's a dark night. It's silent apart from the gentle lap of water against your little fishing boat. The ocean water is as flat as a mill pond. The stars are bright overhead... but a mist drifts in from the horizon.
Run. The FunayΕ«rei are coming. #ghosts

I say 'other' - I meant 'main'.

The other problem with this is that 'the truth' tends to be locked up behind a paywall, and 'the BS' is free for all to consume.

Those of you who live in a Commonwealth country will know what Guy Fawkes Night ( #November 5th ) is. It's the celebration of the foiling of the 'gunpowder plot', and the mastermind behind it all... #GuyFawkes himself. But is everything what it seems?

I don't understand this whole problem, really.
Saying that someone who's relying on benefits can't get themselves an occasional treat - alongside everyone else - is going back to that whole Victorian-era argument about how 'poor' is the same as 'morally deficit'.

Ever wonder why everyone keeps working harder and more efficiently, but wages aren't really going up? #labour #labor #economy #thegrind
