Once the bin is full, do we have a new search for bin laden?

Did you know? Sir Edmund Hillary led the New Zealand component of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (TAE) in 1955-58, under the overall command of the British explorer Dr Vivian Fuchs. The Christchurch Star had to recall its first edition due to its front page banner headline…. “Hillary, Fuchs, off to the Pole” Those were the days…..

We don’t want you carping about it.

A fish mallet.

I believe the duty cycle for the engine is much more stable, so it needs less attention. And the service charges are low, though that could just be a marketing ploy.

We have had two hybrids and they were/ are great. They don't run on the batteries, the batteries smooth out the power demand and give good acceleration from a car with a small petrol motor. Get about 4 litres per 100 km. Minimal need for maintenance, which is cheap. Currently have a Corolla Cross, which is all wheel drive.

When asked why deputies shot a criminal 61 times, Brevard County Sherrif replied "Evil can never be dead enough." Same with Houthis, Hamas and Hesbollah.

If a country is at war, then their aim should be to win. I believe in right and wrong, and that some regimes are evil.

I welcome the Israeli actions and wish them complete victory.

Elphinstone underground loaders in Burnie, sold to Caterpillar. Horwood Bagshaw in Mannum, Australian since 1838, was sold to CNH, an American-Italian multinational, a few years ago. Freighter Industries sold to Maxicube in 1998.

The recoverable energy from pumped storage is a lot less than you might expect. Either the volume or the head needs to be quite large and there are preferred sizes for the equipment. A farm dam on a hill driving a Pelton wheel has to be matched to a solar and wind driven electric pump in the basic system. The energy produced by solar and wind has to be enough to supply you needs while also returning water to the upper dam - a big demand.

I don’t want to torque about it.

Two things that the Yanks are annoying me with at present: They think the plural of aircraft is aircrafts. They think speed is only a noun and so report about a "high rate of speed".
-
Australia will have an intermittent and unreliable electricity supply, so EVs will become less useful.

I can get up at any time but I can't get it up at any time.

It is 3.40am.

I think the authorities are saying it is a mass hysteria, and the larger drones are actually light aircraft.
-
The difference between solar, wind and nuclear is that the first two cannot provide base load capacity, which is fundamental to any transition from coal.

Nuclear has always been the way to go. The opposition has always been of a "religious" nature, based on belief rather than science and engineering. The rest of the world is less stupid.
