Salt is essential for life, the Sodium is used in the ion exchange for nerves. Hence low sodium can lead to cramping and in bad cases fainting, falls and loss of motor control for muscles. Too much is a bad thing. However, you can simply change from Sodium Chloride to Potassium Chloride salt for cooking. It tastes great and the body can take lots without as much problems. Food loves salt for generation of flavours in the chemical interactions of cooking. It really is a type of chemistry. If you cook, your a home chemist.

For its size and weight the Smart cars are very safe. They have a hugely strong alloy space frame not a chassis that relies on thin panels for its strength. Hence light plastic panels that can be replaced. They would make a easy and excellent electric conversion. Many get Resto modded with a motorbike engine. A BMW K1200 motor at 130hp would be plenty. But some go Hayabusa and 180hp. Unlike anything else around this size, they are rear wheel drive. The Smart Sports car is excellent.

If you watch the new Mad Max, check out all the vehicles. You will note some sidecar motorcycles. Why? The main designer and builder of the mad designs is a friend who spent three years making them. You may know him as Peter " bluey" Selke. He is the designer and builder of championship road and dirt racing sidecars and capable pilot/ rider. If it's a winning sidecar it's likely a Selke chassis. In my mad youth I would be a practice 🐒 on the sidecars. A few laps was like doing 10 rounds fighting a gorrilla. You have never felt G forces till you hang off a LCR with F 1 grip for dear life, helmet a inch from the track. Not for the faint of heart, a single timing mistake can mean sudden death. Youth, wasted on the young.

Zoro because he uses his long beak and super extending neck like a stabbing epee. It's amazing how he can bend his neck into a compressed S shape, then dart it out straight like a hidden sheathed sword. The speed is mind-blowing as is the length it can stretch out. Graceful but deadly at high speed like a fencing champion. More surgical strike than a bludgeon. Unlike the gobble guts Cormorant that eats fish way bigger than you think possible, they aren't picky. Zoro is a precision blade, in a flash it's all over. If a fish sees it happen, its already dinner. The only thing he can't do is eat stuff bigger than his neck will allow past his voice box. You see the voice box clearly half down the neck when it's curled to a S shape. All fish are grabbed then orientated head first to swallow so fins don't get stuck on the way down. A stuck fin means death by chocking. Given his grace, beauty of his always exquisite white feathers( never anything but pure clean white) He reminds me of the pure athletic deadleness of a swash buckler with swagger. Errol flynn just didn't do him justice. Hence Zoro, but don't call him the gay blade as he is sensitive. I am amazingly lucky to live on the water in a Ramsar bird sanctuary that is world renowned, some migrate all the way from western Russia. I might be poor but for wildlife I am rich. It's also the most important breeding ground for great White Sharks and bull sharks in the east coast. But we never worry about attacks, I have even kayaked next to a big bull shark "Boris" twice and he never bothers people. We taste like shit, hence the surfer up the coast two days ago had his leg bitten off, but the shark just spat it back out. Just too much fish to worry about tasting yucky humans. We are a far bigger threat to them. Almost everyday the dolphins cruise the passage as well and most nights I hear them cruising past. A pair of white sea Eagles nest on bull island only 100 metres away, always beautiful to watch. When I get really bored I can always watch the human attempts at flight in the F-35s, but that's mainly just loud. As a military training area it's a novel experience to see man and nature fly all the time. If I don't see at least 20 different species just motoring 500 metres to the marina- I have had my eyes shut. Shush- don't tell anyone, the place is horrible, the mosquitoes are big enough to carry prey, also we are full. To be honest the most deadly predator here is humans and the bloody midges. Suffering in paradise🤐, so you buggers can commiserate. Always happy to take one for the team.

Zoro has been around for two years and comes every night at sundown. You can't pat him but anything up to 4 feet away is ok. I even catch fish and squid live and place them for him to eat. He will only eat live fish. Favs are prawns, squid, garfish and then small Tailor in that order. Last week he went to grab a big prawn and a Jew fish went for it as well. I swear they both hit the same time and Zoro had his head in the big Jews mouth. Quick as a flash and they separated, scared the Jew and Zoro. Funny to watch but Zoro was a bit nervous after that.

I noted the emu lager was donated. Not even saleable in hot WA.

Our local matte Zoro, the greater egret. He always hangs around even sticks his head inside to say hello.

Das Boot, The best sub movie ever, very real, gritty and nothing like Hollywood crap.

I think Musk and all the other wanna be dictator billionaires will pitch in big time. It will not be easy.

That's a Jaguar f pace. But at least it's made in Austria, so close to a Merc.

I remember when saying bugger was an excuse to be beaten by the teacher.

Harris was a extremely competent prosecutor and then Attorney general in California before politics. She is well qualified and has often given the hospital pass by Biden on hard issues. She should eat Trump for breakfast in any debate or forum

Here is a good one, old 1986 but still great.

Great for a giggle. I noted a few old folks who either did not understand or were very unhappy. Lots of great other letters on datube as well. https://youtu.be/yRUtyCzfuI0?si=Bv1DEM2CYBZdJ2K4

I predict some Maga nut job will now start selling bullets with Biden engraved on them. Then they will try and shoot Joe. The Maga mob and Don will reap what the sow, sadly that will advantage them

To all those seeking fast justice and righteousness. Please make a orderly cue to the right, yes, in front of that wood chipper. Now start it. Now, just take a leap of faith, yes a forward leap, back to the inquisition. If your righteous, your going to be saved. The rest of us( the humans) line up on the left, breath the fresh air and enjoy life.

"Cockpit", Meeting place for the LNP

Have any of you seen the series "A handmaid's tale" or the book? It's really scary, it seems to becoming true. Women only as breeders?

It reminds of the bad old days for motorbike plates. Do you guys remember the front mounted plate aka pedestrian slicer? I remember getting pulled over by plod and fined for not having a front plate. I pleaded ignorance and the fact I had just bought said old bike from a dealership, with 12 mths rego and pinkslipped, only with its back plate. Even though the front plate was well and truly banned for new bikes on obvious safety reasons, the cop was not reasonable. Because the rear plate had the old triangle in the middle, plod insisted I was illegally riding without a front plate. Could I get a copy plate from the RTA? No. Then for my trouble as a L plater, who dared ask for an explanation, my bike was disassembled on the side of the road to look for drugs? Seat torn up, everything searched. So I was fined and had my bike damaged to meet a outdated law, and the ego of a very unhelpful copper. Not a good intro to the police. I figured the bloke hated motorbikes and was on a crusade. The "overpowered" bike I had was a 1970's RX125 Yamaha.

I wish to apologize for the offence I made. I had not intended to be offensive but I certainly was. I see how my words were easy to take as a slight by Nev and others. My words were foolish and childish. I have always had great respect for Nev and his contributions. I unreservedly apologize for any implications my stupid post made in an extremely misguided attempt at humour. As Nev stated above, it was out of character (too many new meds) but that does not excuse what I posted. I am responsible for my posts and accept I was wrong and insulting. Nev, I am sorry. Phil

Maybe my humour was too obtuse. It was meant to imply fork it's a hunter.
