    Have these idiots not seen Avatar one, two, or three? Or Afghanistan, Vietnam, or Iraq? Foreign invaders seldom get along well with the invaded. Buy more popcorn folks! We all thought it was winding up, but the story has just begun.

    Sorry to post pics but these, if true, are very sobering. Not so much about 'What He has done now'. It's about war and what he has not done, at this point in time. We might really forget about the Epstein Files?

    I have found similar EV advantage here in AU, too. Our Mitzi is getting a bit wheezy, with 340,000k on it, and dropping a new (s/h) motor into it will cost more than she is worth. There are some nice new EV's coming onto market at last. But the market is not settled yet - who knows which brands will still be around in a few years? The S/H market looks quite good. And battery degradation (as you noted) doesn't look like being an issue. Next car will definitely be EV.

    Just trying to interpret.... Doming is a new concept. Did you mean dooming? Anyway, donold has never before done anything that is in the interests of anyone other than himself. 'Tis but another interesting space to watch the unintended collateral damage unfold.

    Variety is the spice of life. Plus necessity is the mother of interesting menue.

    Nothing new here. The USofA take what they want, as usual. Please please do not let them save our country. It never ends well for the inhabitants.

    I just tuned in. I think all this talk about a war is misguided. Or maybe lefty propaganda. Mr trump promised 'no more wars'. It is not a war. Recent events in Venezuela are simply a Military Operation carried out purely to save the lovely people of that fine country. How could anyone believe that oil has anything to do with it? PS, can anyone please post a list of South American goverment changes where USA played an active part?

    The E-horse was a marketing failure. Owners had difficulty plugging in a charger.

    I simply pointed out that the recycling industry is tooling up to provide recycling. There have been lots of doomsday sadsacks claiming that EV's are a pollution problem. It looks like the EV has a more profitable recycling lifecycle than piston powered vehicles.

    This morning, my little son said, "My ear hurts, Dad." Concerned, I asked, "Inside or out?" He walked away, then returned through the back door. "Both, Dad." I think I'll cash in his university savings account.

    Meet the recyclers (in USA). For those who care about recycling lithium batteries, there are significant recycling companies in USA. Li-Cycle (NYSE: LICY) alone has recycling centers in Alabama, Arizona, and Germany. the German plant alone is processing 10,000 tonnes a year and the coming New York one is expected to move 35,000 tonnes. https://events.naatbatt.org/lithium-battery-recycling-workshop-vii/meet-the-recyclers/

    We all get softer (and wiser) as we collect more birthdays. Sounds like nice riding weather for this time of year. We had snow in Tassie on xmas day.

    Yes, I do know there is a well known site nearby, devoted to everything about flying. But that's for serious stuff, and Ian would rather see the trivial distractions over on this side of the fence. Call it the 'naughty corner'. For instance, this video of assisted floatplane STOL takeoff. 618142-835194a23548e8640cb5f2fad62b7f7a.mp4

    At present, the dis United States of America are more likely to unite with Russia than reunite their local states.

    And when you forget to put the cap on, you lose half a tankfull as you roar out of the servo! Fortunately none of these treasures from the past, are still with us.

    I just checked. My landrover doesn't have an arrow to tell me which side the filler is on. But if I turn my head to the right I can see it right beside my shoulder. Next to the door handle. As long as the canvas doesn't get in the way.

    I think the message is that the USofA cannot be trusted, no matter who has the *residency. Or which political mafia (party) is in charge. At present, DjT can wear the blame.

    Now that IS curious. To think that identical twins with identical genes, can have some physical differences.
