As well as being an interesting exercise in learning how to create and print something as fiddly as the bench, it actually turned out to be quite a good way to get a sense of what it was all going to look like.

@ZiaYusufUK Well done. I have always suspected that you are a nasty piece of work, and now you have removed all doubt. If your party thinks 'democracy' is punishing people who did not vote for you, then you are plain evil.

Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK·
Wow, what a PHENOMENAL response to our new policy to prioritise Green controlled areas for illegal migrant detention centres! This is what democratic consent means, and the majority of people in this country who are sick of the establishment pushing open borders and want all illegals deported are delighted. However (right on cue) all the usual establishment suspects have lost their minds over it: ✅ BBC ✅ Huffington Post ✅ The Times ✅ Financial Times ✅ Kemi Badenoch and the Tories (shrieking “what would the JUDGES think?!” - low agency deadbeats who don’t understand Parliament is sovereign and makes the laws - no wonder they’re the ones who imported almost all the illegals Reform will have to deport!) And it’s barely lunchtime! Happy bank holiday everyone and please get out and vote Reform on Thursday! 🚀🇬🇧

Europe’s January 1 turbine blade landfill ban is a 'virtue driven' spreadsheet solution meeting the cold, hard light of reality. The 43 million tons of blade waste projected by 2050 consists largely of glass-fibre and carbon-fibre resins - that are notoriously energy-intensive to break down. No one is 'recycling' them into new blades though. They are being 'downcycled' into cement filler or park benches. But just how many park benches can one planet use?" It's not really 'renewable' if the turbine hardware has a one-way trip to a graveyard. At least there is choice, with hundreds blade graveyards now scattered throughout the parks, woodlands and farmyards of western society.

If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

On January 1, 2026, the European wind industry implemented a self-imposed landfill ban on turbine blades. This has left many countries scrambling silently for solutions. Landfill has become the next unwanted crisis, yet it's the conversation no one wants to have. Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands have banned blade landfills, and so for a time they are being exported to countries like the UK or France, where they can still be buried. Banning waste like turbine blades doesn't make it vanish though—it just puts it on a truck to a neighbour's backyard. Low-scale solutions are often cited as the answer, like turning blades into noise barriers, bridges or playground equipment. How do you turn 43 million tons of blade waste from turbines into park benches and koala crossings? How many park benches does one planet actually need? Modern recycling for glass and carbon fibre often requires pyrolysis (high-heat chemical decomposition). To recycle a 'green' blade, you must burn an immense amount of energy to break down the resins. We are trading a physical waste problem for a new energy demand problem. People love a quirky solution that highlights the absurdity of the problem—like the image of a massive 80-metre blade being used as a single, very long bus shelter. Even 'green' solutions have a physical footprint that can't be wished away by a spreadsheet.

@PatrickHeizer I have never heard of ‘make a ten’. Does it mean, borrow 1 from the 8, add it to 9 to make 10. Then add 7 to the 10 to make 17? I often do that when adding mentally.

@alexboge Parce que Polaris n'est pas à la distance que vous croyez, on vous a menti Le mouvement de la galaxie l'aurait déjà décalé Polaris est un luminaire visible la nuit sur le dôme comme toutes les étoiles et au-delà de 10000 km de distance la perspective nous empêche de le voir.

Flat Earth “challenge” Instead of zooming in randomly on cherry picked ships not quite or only just over the horizon, start with a ship clearly over the horizon and then let’s see your P900, P1000, or P1100 or even a telescope of any size zoom it back in. 😂 You can’t. You’ll comment some irrelevant nonsense below. We will point at and mock you. We will laugh at your inability to perform even the most trivial request to demonstrate your fantasy flat land 😂 As flat as your EEG. Later, as you reflect upon your failure, you can watch the sun set - which is your daily reminder that the sunset we observe is impossible on a flat earth, and that the sharp horizon is the effect of curvature of the globe we all live on. Like it or not. Believe it or not. No one cares, but thanks for the clown show.

@alexboge @Gandalf54910038 Never mind Polaris. I have often holidayed In Portugal, and the stars there are noticeably at a different altitude from back in the U.K. How that could be possible on a flat Earth defies explanation.

@ecto_con @Electroversenet Ah, found it. I reposted in 2024 because of a satirical song by the Marsh family. So, 2 songs, Springsteen and Marsh. 2 reposts in 3 years... doesn't seem like a lot to me. (I still don't know who he is...)

California has built one of the largest solar fleets in the world. Panels are strewn across deserts, rooftops and valleys, costing taxpayers billions of dollars. It was promised as the power of the future. But then the duck curve hit. Solar floods the grid during the height of the day, far more than California can use, so operators are forced to dump gigawatts of "green" power. Then the sun sets and solar output collapses to zero, just as evening demand spikes. California then scrambles to fire up gas plants to keep the lights on, with billions more spent on this backup generation. The world's solar capital ends every day running on fossil fuels. A 24-7 gas grid would cost far less to construct and maintain than solar, and it would actually work 24-7.

@ecto_con @Electroversenet Pure fluke, if I have. Can you give an example? A quick search came up with nothing. Surprisingly, it is posssible to see a post and repost it without taking much note of who the originator is. If the post is interesting, that is good enough for me.

@ecto_con @Electroversenet Maybe you think that a Twitter comment must take the form of an essay, but I don't. If I see a single phrase that arouses my interest, I will comment on it, as I see fit. He wrote 5 or 6 paragraphs - I noticed one, and commented. Twitter has no rules - each to his own.

@GeoFreC @Electroversenet You ignore the fact that despite already using "deserts, rooftops and valleys" the panels are failing to meet the power needs of California. You are retarded.

@ecto_con @Electroversenet I have no idea who Brian Krassenstein is. I reposted because he mentioned the Springsteen song, which I was interested in. If you said something interesting I might repost you.
