There's no prices on the website but how cool would one of these be if you had a sufficient reliable amount of water running through your property? They're available in kit form so you can assemble them in place without needing a telehandler or crane etc. The site had a few case studies were depending on the wheel size and water flow rate you could achieve about 3-6.5kw. One of the smaller examples had a 4m diameter wheel with a water supply of only 100l/s which didn't look a massive amount of water to me, that was producing 3.5kw (84kWh of power per day) The only maintenance on the wheel is greasing the bearings once a year.

Sorry guys, you can't have water because billionaires like Zuckerberg & big tech need it for their data centres! I've never related with commies & leftoids when they start shouting about hanging the rich and hating on billionaires if their only gripe is they 'hate rich people' but when you start seeing stories about people not being able to have running water in Georgia because Zuckerberg's Meta data centre is stealing it all, well what can I say? Is this story an insight into why the WEF have been talking about how they should control water and dictate how much us plebs, serfs and peasants use?

The flowering currant has finished so the #bees 🐝 have moved onto the wisteria.

There was an episode of Ben Fogle new lives in the Wild on the TV the other day, some guy that had trained to be a vet (a good career & relatively well paid some may argue) but he ended up hating it and decided to walk away from it all and go off grid in Wales. It looked like 'off grid' in Wales wasn't that straight forward though, to achieve his dream he had to partake in the Welsh Government's 'One Planet Development Scheme' where to build on the countryside your home has to be zero carbon in construction and your development has to support who lives there, every year you have to submit reports to the government proving that you're producing at least 65% of your own food and you are able to fund any remaining bills and costs from land-based business - in this guy's case that was selling honey & eggs, there was no mortgage or rent to pay but still had to pay council tax. From what I've seen on Homestead Rescue it looks like rules & regulations regarding off grid living vary from state to state in the US, there was an episode filmed in Oregon and they seemed quite strict about what you could build and where. It does make you wonder if achieving the off grid thing in the UK will become harder given the smaller land mass and less free (open) land compared to other larger countries. #homestead #offgrid (sort of)

It's understandable that people no longer 'trust the science', the experts or TV doctors as it often feels like the health service has been corrupted to benefit big pharma but there's gonna be some alternative quack shit out there, maybe it was a larp or engagement farming but there was someone on X posting about how sunburns are caused by bad diet and gut health 😂 Wouldn't be at all surprised if the companies that make suncream put a load of weird harmful chemicals in it and I don't usually bother with it myself, if it feels like I'm burning I cover up or seek shade but surely everyone can agree that over exposure to the sun can burn the skin, especially unacclimatized pale skin irrespective of one's gut health.

Not a massive fan of boxing but watched one of Carl Froch's videos the other day where he was explaining the rehydration clause for the Eubank - Benn fight and it became apparent why Eubank Sr was so unhappy about the fight, excessive weight cutting by removing water from the body also reduces the fluid surrounding and protecting the brain and the time between the final weigh in and the fight wouldn't be sufficient to fully rehydrate. Thankfully there were no serious injuries on the night but it does make you wonder why Eubank jr would accept such clauses and should boxers be allowed to take such extreme measures to make weight? Saying all that though - Early UFC & Pride were far more entertaining than today's combat sports, from recollection there weren't even weight classes in some of the fights. #Eubank #Benn

There's people that still think geoengineering & chemtrails are a conspiracy theory! Fucking unreal 😂
