  • Without detailed knowledge about tree logging, that looks to be too clean cut, when working in a storm.

    From the article:

    “Locals said they heard nothing during the night due to high winds from Storm Agnes – and woke to find the tree split from its stump.”

    I would not call that a “split”.

    You also need some heavy gear to fell that kind of tree, the dia of sycamore tree trunk is wide. The blade would stuck in the saw line due to the inclination of the tree. Also you would need a vehicle to get all gear there plus extra fuel if required.

    Think middle of night, during a storm, also you don’t need a storm to be windy there.

    Really 16 year old only?





  • I use Firefox as main browser, but I discovered for my use case google provides the best results without needing to setup every workstation e.g. 2 home PCs, 1 mobile, 2 for work. And that I need to use all main 3 browsers. Also google provide good service with functions to quickly make currency conversions, simple math ekvations etc which even Bing is far behind.

    “AI” services will change this but for now it’s too slow.

    But in general for me, I have given up that fact to try stay private many years back, it’s all a dream just like living off grid, 99% of would not survive 4 days.

    But the information can be scrambled, ie shift user accounts, services, software etc. It would also provide better competition due to the userbase is moving around… But most of us are too lazy or afraid to lose history, backups, photos etc. Just see how many that can’t just delete an old reddit account due to the time spent to reach an level you aren’t ready to leave. To lead to famous qoute I follow online

    “Don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner”

    Its all about supporting the services you like and are trying to be an counterweight to the other common commercial services… Meaning we need to found/pay for good services, privacy is a luxary looking on the whole user base.

    Companies, I based on an idea, but exist to make someone money and if it’s tracks it will make many people money and in the end majority will lead the company to earn money and leave the base idea behind.




  • Same here, loved Link to the past, one of my first games. It’s, together with Super mario world, the game i replayed most times.

    Didn’t jump on the n64 train so I missed all games that still are considered master pieces. I don’t care for them and does not share the love for them as most of gaming media portraits 3d gaming revolution.

    Got old enough to both own a ps2 and GameCube and completely fell in love in Windwaker, the graphics, the feeling of world exploring, fishing for treasures, hooked it up with my Gameboy advance sp.

    But it was not well received by the community so twilight princess was an complete disappointment for me when Nintendo returned to well proven n64 format. I never completed the game

    I’ve tried Zelda skyward swords, it seemed promising but I hated the motion controls sooo much to the level I though it ruined the game.

    I finally returned to nintendo after buying a switch last year and off course together with breath of the wild. Loved the world building and graphics, but the open world game play does not suit me, where I can run into overpowered enemies by accident and the worst game decisions to add breakable equipment… When finishing the end boss I felt I hadn’t completed the game but I didn’t care to go back and grind myself thorough endless battels to do what…

    With tears of the kingdom I read that the creators had put more focus on open world concepts with creation tools and adhooks to enhance capabilities of weapons etc which isn’t my cup of tea.

    Im missing the cosy feeling I got from link to the past and wind waker, BOTW was close, but my fond memory may be an illusion since Wind waker only been re-realsed for Wii U… I was certain it would have been released for the switch when I bought it but yet that hope is fading away.
