  I was briefly fascinated by ‘chains’ at school, in the system of rods, links and chains. The idea of chains was you go around the outside of an irregular area and the number of chains related to the area in acres. 1 acre to 10 square chains?

  So TIL. I have never heard of this, and I’m not sure if this happens in the U.K… I had always assumed, growing up with feet and inches and metres interchangeably, that area is always stated as the length of the side squared is how it is done. Has this happened as a mis-advertising tactic to make things sound bigger than they are?

  Sovol sv08 is a voron based printer, not like a prusa at all. And voron as a project, might be a self build from kits, but are better than what you’ve listed as best of anything, in capability and in terms of open source.

  I mean, written a little anti-establishment, but you’re completely right, the ‘producer’ slip issued to bring your documents in has been standard stuff for decades and all of the digital info is available to them as soon as they stop you, so it’s literally just proving your face matches the documents to have it with you. If they just had your mug pop up on the screen in their car, who would need to produce anything?

  I don’t see the problem, if you’ve ever used the hmrc tax app, it’s completely fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Driver stopped in Tesla Cybertruck banned in UK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  However, it has not yet passed UK road safety tests.

  GMP said the car that was seized had been referred to Operation Wolverine, which was established in 2007 to target drivers without insurance.

  The owner will have to prove ownership and correct insurance prior to release.

  So even if insurance was proven, not sure how for an illegal vehicle, it could be released, but it couldn’t be driven, so knowing the way our authorities work; get this vehicle collected, on a transporter of some kind and get it out of our compound by xx date or we’ll crush it.

  And then fitted flue gas desulphurisation equipment to clean up the emissions to burn the cheap brown coal that had the higher sulphur content, to make the emissions equivalent to the expensive Welsh stuff.
