  1.  Copper and Aluminium both use electricity in their refining but are easily recyclable. The earths Core is Nickel-Iron. There's many metals in  sea water as well as Sodium.( Desal Plants?) Gold extraction often involves Cyanide.. Nev

  2. AS has been said the cooling of a Diff can suck water in fast and a bit of water in EP oils is death to the gears and tapered Roller bearings. What about the Alternator, starter. door and window lock mechanisms?  Ignition systems. The thing can float and be swept off the road surface or hit a deep washout. It's NO good for the vehicle in many ways and seriously UNSAFE.  Be situationally aware and not find out the hard way that it was a DUMB Idea.  A DEAD HERO is no help to your family. Nev

  3. Trump HUMPS and then DUMPs everybody.  It's PAR for the Course. IF you beat him at Golf, He'd deport you. IF HE can't be the Centre of Attention, it's NOT happening Mate. He want's to RUN the entire WORLD From a low majority of a 200 million  voting Population of which perhaps 140 Mil voted. so   a great majority  of the planet had NO  SAY whatever. A preposterous suggestion. WE should tell him where HE gets OFF. It WILL HAVE to HAPPEN sometime.  Albanese's win was IMPRESSIVE. Not Imposing tariffs on the USA in return I pretty COOL. Trump is USA's Problem and their Creation. There's Plenty of other fish in the sea. to deal with. When someone unilaterally Breaks Deals, why  DEAL with them?  Nev

  4. Putin continues to show How poor his strategies are and it must affect how his Military Merchandise is viewed by potential Customers. Also that HE IS WEAKENED. I wouldn't like to be in HIS shoes. He chooses to Live by the Sword.  Nev

  5. You get very attached to them for sure, But there does come a time when they are suffering and distressed at their own condition and you have to make that dreadful decision , but you have to do it if you care and they Certainly DON'T suffer the way it's done.   Nev

  6. I don't think it's a weekender.   My house was finished from Go to Woe in NINE weeks in 1973.   It CAN be done.  No prefabbing or gang nailed trusses. Brick venerial. with a chimney. Nev

  7. I think THAT has been done. A trailer set up would be OK too. "Have them for HIRE in suitable places?  IMHO the concept of electric with engine back up is sound. It's proven in desert racing  but in more ordinary work the engine could be relatively small.  Nev
