This video has a great comparison of different locking nut systems and how they hold up against vibration:

Just a small note that the businesses only have to open source their version if they release it. If they just use it internally then they don't have to distribute the source code. So it depends on the use case.

I got some smidge for Day 2; sadly I already looked like I had chicken pox at that point so it's difficult to tell if it helped much!

Haha, that should be Katrine (thanks autocorrect).

Sounds like I need a tent with arm and leg tubes like those fume cupboards for handling hazardous chemicals, so I can turtle tent around Scotland :D

I'm on some really strong antihistamines (fenofexadine) but sadly that didn't seem to put them off!

I've been reading up on them and apparently the females bite to feed on blood in order to mature their eggs, which they can lay & hatch in 24h...so if you're in one place for more than a day it may actually get progressively worse.

Remnants of my small child, we sacrificed her to the midges to save ourselves. RIP

In the UK we have a lot less unspoiled woodland and a much higher population density than Canada. We have to be careful that we don't let a few people ruin it for everyone else by being careless, hence the focus on the cause in this case.

And yes you're right, this hasn't historically been an issue, but climate change means we are much more likely to have forest fires now.

More similar to Sunak calling the current General Election. It's very unlikely they will win but they have to do something rather than let it get even worse!

Even if you do stick your fingers in the outlets, it's not a problem if you use a good socket
