As a former science teacher, all the fun was stolen by budgets and idiots doing dodgy lessons endangering students and even buildings burning down. Public schools don't have the budgets or lab staff to allow old school exciting fun. Private schools are different, some have uni level labs to go with their polo pool. Quick ❓ What explosive 🧨 metal is soft, dull silver, cuts like butter and always stored under oil? It's also toxic but you eat it? Hint myth busters did a story on it and showed a complete lack of imagination and intelligence. For guys with a arsenal and TNT on hand they have no clue.

Lamb shoulder marinated in rosemary and a little garlic and lemon juice, cooked in butter and a little olive oil. Cooked medium rare and fine sliced is heavenly. Juicy,tender and succulent. Less is more with ingredients. Next day is even better and makes a exceptional ploughman's lunch just add real cheese- vintage tasty and a sourdough loaf. A good red wine or red label Peroni and you live a Dolce vita. That's the proper Italian way, with just what grows locally near the lamb. To use mint sauce is a crime against the lamb and taste buds.

Luck yes, but always very very very careful and never made in front of others in case they try and replicate the device. I was very scientific about the whole deal when making bangers. Silly yes, but you make your own luck, just like flying.

Imagination is the real limitation. But I admit to hating the idea of a ev Alfa Romeo, it won't come with a opera under the bonnet. Alfas have a full orchestral symphony under the hood, not a synthetic disco tune. They are also extremely dangerous to licence points.

Given the huge amount of forever chemicals and plastics in the environment and airborne pollution from mining and vehicles, industry etc, it is a very low order issue. Kids in Orange are getting lead poison and life long reductions in IQ, all from the "safe" Cadia mine. A new mine is getting approved and all evidence ignored by libs and labour. Pfas has polluted our water systems and poisoned farm land, fish in the Antarctic are full of chemicals and losing reproductive vigour. Our insects are suffering population collapse, the large base of the world's ecosystem. Priorities people, a bit like complaining about hail damage, whilst a planet killer asteroid gets ignored. And your worried about flouride?

They will provide a custom leather face mask aka Hannibal if asked, they are Dutch Afterall.

The architecture of the chassis also means other bodies could easily used. A modern kit car? Why not.

Here is the antidote to heavy, overly tech ev cars. Wouldn't we love a little sports car that's actually fun, tactile to drive and won't cost the earth? Ev does not have to be heavy, ugly or big flat screen tech. What if a modern MG midget existed but roomier, great handling and high quality? Your prayers are answered. 680kg 300km range Craftsmen made No electronic crap to distract from driving joy Proof it can be done, highly developed by a tiny company, all hand built by only 8 people and $40k odd euro for a jewel like masterpiece. If these guys can do it the bigger boys have no excuse. Proof small ev's can be fun. And just as light as minimal lotus7 like cars. Brilliant. You don't need a zillion horsepower and large resources.

I remember as a kid doing cracker night in Goulburn in the 70's.. Lots of ACT sourced fireworks that are banned in NSW. Aiming star shooters at brothers was standard, so was the nylon jacket you wore. The jackets burnt and melted to skin very easily. Blowing your hand off with homemade composite fireworks was also a thing. Fun but could easily get deadly dangerous. When some would blow up wooden letterboxes, I would obliterate a solid brick one. Yes, I was a naughty young scientist. I was young, dumb and fortunately full of IQ

The spelling is wrong for both. It's Coca cola not Coco cola.

Spacey, Obviously you live in a democracy, you have a choice to take medical care or not. Not everyone is so fortunate, esp given it won't cost your house and children's future to be treated. Medicare is like democracy, not perfect but a hell of a lot better than the alternative. The capitalist paradigm still hobbles our system but can patiently be avoided for most. It ain't perfect, but better than 99% of the rest.

As far as damage repair, battery packs are a bonus not liability. To damage the pack will normally mean complete destruction of a ice engine, which means the wreck is almost worthless. The battery pack can be checked, modified, reconfigured into a commercially valuable power system for.a home or boat power system. The system from a write-off telsa is still viable for multiple uses. A ice car written off enough to damage a centrally mounted battery pack is just scrap metal and total loss. A modern taxi Camry squashed to the b pillar still has a hugely valuable pack to harvest. What's left of the rest is just scrap. The economics of ev damaged are far better than any ice car/,truck,/ute. Can you reuse/reconfigure a engine with broken front block? Not a chance. But you can with a battery system. It is a paradigm change

That is a real issue but given the massively fat ice vehicles we buy eg. mainly huge utes and SUVs are the biggest sellers, it's a small issue. Your much more likely to see 2.5 tonnes of useless ute/4wd coming to kill you than a electric vehicle. The average electric car is magnitudes safer to crash into than the average tradie ute esp with wanker bull bar.

Are we antisemitic? Very few, and they seem to pick a target to focus their rage on. The nazi wankers are a great example, they are similar to other nut jobs like the conspiracy nuts who killed two cops and a farmer. Antisemitism is a small beer issue here, anti Muslim is bigger. Note we have only had big terrorism attacks come from white guys in Australia eg, Martin Bryant and the bloke who massacred Kiwi's in the Mosque. Notice, we always catch the brown skinned ones before they attack, but only notice the white guy after he kills? It's white militant hate that seems the biggest problem to me. Mind you, racists are everywhere, it is not just white vs brown. India has a fundamentally racist government and caste system.

Tesla happily use deposits as funding interest free. Look at the sportscar they took deposits and five years later, still no sportscar.

She has done a great job overall. If she did exactly the same, had a dick and was L N P she would be called the best ever and should be PM. But a hobbled pony would be a Melbourne cup winner if you ask the LNP. But party bullshit means she can only do wrong. The taint of corruption does smell though. The most powerful and unaccountable police service, and bullshit law and order auctions are a worry. Overall she has done a good job. Imagine if Campbell Newman ran the place that long, Trump in Queenslan, the new JOH.

"Pickups are tradies vehicles and not ego boosters for soccer mums" The F truck is the biggest seller for over 40 years, most would be ego buyers.

I have never seen a conservationist campaign to cut old growth forests for paper. In fact they have campaigned for decades to stop it. It's greedy forestry and paper companies assisted by state forestry cutting where it is banned. The courts protect the forest only to have it razed and no penalties worth a damn

So the investment advice is to buy one then burn down the factory. Be good for everyone

The USA have proven again their cowardness in defending the indefensible. A new war crime has been proposed for the Israeli tactics. It's called Domicide, when you intentionally destroy the homes and infrastructure of a population to make it unviable. Genocide by other means. The entire Gaza strip is the world's largest goal, 99.9 % of the population are innocent and have a life sentence. Hamas are the gang running the inmates. The collective punishment, which is stated Israeli policy, is a war crime.

I can see your point Nev, but it is a funny image. Truth, rarely impedes on humour as long as there is a whisper of reality. The Cybertruck is a absolutely antithesis of a green vehicle. But sadly that is the vision many fools want. Some of its specs and features are impressive, but just like guns I don't want or need one and they should be restricted.

Just when you think a new government might try and solve a problem like housing, they gift their sponsors billions. https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/nsw/2023/12/09/rosehill-housing-racings-5b-windfall It public land and we give them a windfall and screw the public. Snafu
