It'd be a great day if Trump, Putin and Netanyahu had a moment of clarity, realised their massive negative impact on the world and topped themselves.

I think the quarter of a billion Elon gave him to get elected compensated for his anti-EV sentiments

ICE cars certainly aren't exempt from panel problems. Our 2015 Santa Fe has one of the plastic lower door panels peeling off and just lost a plastic under-body panel in front of the passenger side front wheel. Mind you we do live up a dirt road. Fords used to be notorious for door and window problems, my old XE Falcon only had one fully working door handle and unfortunately it wasn't the drivers one.

It was a classic conflation by the AFL. "If you want a team, you gotta build the stadium". There's heaps of cars on the road with "Yes AFL team, Yes stadium" bumper stickers, and an equal number with "No stadium" on them. But until recently I never saw one with "Yes AFL team, No stadium". Trouble is, the state government went along with it, Jeremy saw a chance to build his legacy, and Labor jumped on board as well. Now we're in the ridiculous situation where both major parties want the $1b+ stadium even though this snap election is because the state's budget is already in the shitter, so anyone opposed to the stadium is going to be voting for the Greens or other minor parties/independents, and whoever gets in is going to have a far smaller minority than the Libs currently do. As I said the majority of diehard footy fans are up north. We have a population here of about half a mil. Are they really expecting crowds of 5-10% of the entire state's population to attend every game?

I wouldn't go as far as Litespeed but he is a waste of space. Heard him on the radio the other day talking up the Macquarie Point white elephant and saying that if the Tasmanian government doesn't build it, no business will trust them. Absolute shite. There's probably about 2000 people in Tassie who physically regularly go to the football, and most of them are from the north of the state. I don't particularly care whether Tassie gets a football team or not, but to my mind the AFL have acted like absolute c**ts in mandating, as a deal-breaker, a new billion dollar stadium which the state can't afford in prime waterfront land which should be mixed use restaurant/ park/ boulevard etc.

Well, when I say "leathers" I'm only talking about jacket, boots and gloves - I would like some leather pants at some point but it's jeans at the moment. Not sure that I would want to take on a log truck regardless of outfit, or vehicle for that matter. Grandma is safe.

Plenty of CCTV around fuel pumps. If you drive off without paying they know your rego. What made me laugh the other day is when I walked into the service station in my leathers with helmet to buy some chips for the kids, and the attendant asked if I had filled up as well - but there were no motorbikes near the pumps.

Hot fudge topping

Thanks Nev, but have you noticed I only go for the easy ones?

Yeah that decision knocked the gloss off Labor. A massive majority based in large part on their perceived action on climate change and the first thing they do is bend over and take it from the giant polluter Woodside.

Horses for courses. Battery swap is probably good for trucks and other commercial vehicles, where the spares can be recharged at the depot and the truck isn't losing valuable time off the road being charged. For cars, especially under current ownership model, probably doesn't make sense.

Searching.

Are Sam and Lucy Tasmanian? If so between 4 and 8, otherwise just 4.

Good idea. Commute that woman's sentence if she becomes a cook at the white house.

Far as I can remember, Hillary was never president.

Well, the silly bugger has done it. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-22/iran-israel-conflict-live-updates/105445676#live-blog-post-194006 Wouldn't want to be an American serviceman or -woman in any middle east bases right now.

Maybe they have a spare luxury 747 hanging around. That would change his mind. (Equivalent value in bullion would be acceptable too). Corrupt prick.

Dozen (dozens, bakers dozen)

He forgot to add "including myself"

Want less crime? Fund high quality universal early childhood education. Do free nutritious school lunches. Provide free dental care. (Health not cosmetic). Those things alone would help bring down the crime rate. As others have said, the better the society, the less crime. People who are healthy and well educated are far less likely to offend.

Out... All the others are letters (Y, R, U)

Maintained? Our ride on was inherited from my father in-law when he popped his clogs about 10 years ago. I use it about 3 times a year during summer. Fill the tank every 2 years. Still starts first time. Never even looked at the blades, except to remove a length of aluminum bar that someone had left in the paddock and that the mower turned into a pretzel.
