    The film Heaven Revealed goes for eternity. Nev
  4. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.. Blokes can be bastards and women can be bitches.. Nev
  5. Judging by the cratering on the moon which has no atmosphere the earth would have had many asteroids land here at high speed. which often causes them to burn up in the process. . All the substances high up on the periodic Table come from black holes. Nev
  6. The figure I'm quoting is for the steel part only. Nev
  7. OME . Most women don't report these things because they KNOW they have little chance of achieving any satisfactory outcome for themselves and will be slut shamed in the process. Nev.
  8. Once the zinc has gone the steel is not galvanically protected. Look how thick boat hulls are and they have to be constantly repainted, like the Sydney Harbour bridge. Nev
  9. Roughly, how long ago did that happen, space? Nev
  10. Clip lock may be that thickness but it's for a different type of structure and attachment method... .060" is pretty thick for roofing I can't see how you'd justify the cost. Nev
  11. Re the thickness of steel for the Colourbond its .48 MM, near enough to .019". I promised I'd check on it. Nev
  12. Airial inspection of powerlines has killed quite a few .. Nev
  13. Despite the "Clean and Green" tag a lot of it is anything but. More than enough mining has been carried out extensively in the Past .The HYDRO HEC had a lot of influence then Gunns ran the show with logging and Gambling has a lot of control now. It's a place where the weather can be wild and variable. It's population is on a Par with Geelong and has a lot of infrastructure to support. Being an Island the transport costs of Sea and Air add to the drain on the residents resources. I've done Hundreds of flights there carrying People and cargo and 3 trips on motorcycles. Nev
  14. I think the sign has a pertinent message. You could use a reference to Joyce re risk of tailgating. Nev
  15. Mankind's BIGGEST challenge. Getting a DECENT Government and coping with corruption. POO tin doesn't care about loss of lives and destruction of infrastructure. when he's dishing it out.. Trump's potentially NO better. Nev
  16. It's not fair to your self to put that on you. We can't know the future and there will always be "what ifs".. Nev
  17. Heat pumps are efficient. Nev
  18. Some farms would be incredibly dangerous. Post hole digger drive shafts and hydraulics generally. I don't like hydro drives much.. Working near a creek bank with a tractor. Deadly. Nev
  19. Not enough instances of death to derive a reliable conclusion statistically. Nev
  20. Being underground in a mine is only twice as dangerous as a desk Job? You have to be kidding. Nev
  21. They are ALL "made up" aren't they? Nev
  22. IF you take the BAD 2 out mining is the worst of what's left in rate/man hours.. Nev

    But it will get better, won't it ?. I'm not sure about autonomous cars, but most drivers are hopeless..Nev

    By then you might as well do a virtual trip in a simulator using AI. Avoid the crowds and pickpockets and Dog$#!t and pollution and diseases. Nev
  25. It's recognised as one of the most hazardous occupations. Comparing it with road deaths is not valid. How many people are on the roads at any given time? Infinitely more. Trees on the road verge only hit cars in self defence. The mine operator must bear responsibility for the deaths. Yes. Unions DO care about members deaths. I don't see THAT as a problem. I come from a long line of Coal miners and steel workers and have a fair idea what tricks Management get up to with workers. Not all of them. I couldn't fault "Stewarts & Lloyds " when I worked for them. Nev
