  1. This was a photo I took with my digital camera phone in 2005. That was the quality, and just having a camera in your phone seemed a miracle.
  2. Seven degrees here today. Snow in Kyneton.
  3. I like being kept in suspenders.
  4. I watched most of it and thought Trump failed badly. But Kamala isn't the greatest debater either, it was more that Trump lost.
  5. When my dad bought his FB Holden I told my mates that our new car had tick tocks. You know, that noise the indicators made when the amber tailfin lamps were flashing. Well, I was just driving my wife's 2024 Corolla Cross hybrid and realised that the sound is exactly the same. The Holden used an electromagnet and bimetallic strip in an aluminium can to switch the indicators, and the sound was an accidental consequence of that. Ever since, I suppose, makers of cars have found ways to reproduce a sound that happens to be perfect for letting you know the indicators are flashing. The Corolla must do it electronically through a speaker, but the sound is the same.

    The answer to the curry question is five.
  10. KG is in love with the EV driving experience which he describes. I am in love with the ICE driving experience which involves gear changes and a rumbling exhaust. To each his own.
  11. As a young bloke I only had a cheque account. Went on holiday within NSW without enough cash. Couldn’t cash a cheque as you had to prearrange ID. I was only saved because a bank teller knew my father and pretended to ID me.
  12. My wife has had two Toyota hybrids and I have one on order now. I think they are great.
  13. Ducking and weaving.
  14. I like YouTube videos, but only if they are 20 minutes or so. Some folk make them an hour and a half, I wonder who watches them

    A triangle.
  16. As in”real life” relationships, we all get to know each other’s foibles and enjoy the differences, sometimes getting a laugh out of one another. We miss the members who drop off or move on.
  17. I have forgotten how it all worked before when it was one site but it was ok. I think merging would be ok. If people want to support this separate site then I would chip in.
  18. Did you send the cotton wool back and ask for the telescope?
  19. I would be undy turd.
