  1. You are losing me Red. Teachers haven't had it easy because of this. As far as being Dan/s Mates they reckon He's "thrown them under the bus. quote" Nev

  2. I don't GET the TATTS thing. Too hard to turn the page. AS for all the piercings a good pruning would fix that. It's dead easy to be an individual today and you save $#1tloads. I've never been a slave to fashion. Stick up for freedom to be different. Nev

  3. You get power from the grid when YOU want it but want to get paid to give it to the grid when the grid can't handle it and it's a risk to the system? Get real. They turn windfarms OFF too, and powerstations if they have to.

    Intelligent management including storage adequate for the purpose is required Wind and Solar are a no brainer for cost except against old worn out coal power which has amortised its capital investment long ago but is likely to drop off completely without warning on a hot day. New Coal and uranium are sky high in the cost Dept..Perhaps the GIANT GRID is a cost we should look at too. Maybe it won't be as necessary or maybe MORE necessary. Who Knows ? For about 20 years it's destroyed governments and the delay in a proper PLAN is costing us heaps. Nev

  4. If the question was something like "Broadly speaking do you agree the PM did the correct thing regarding the Covid19 epidemic so far? I would have to say yes but do I reckon he is a good PM for all Australians? NO and far short of it.. He has been in front of the camera's a lot and the world hasn't come to an end so he must be OK. Not a lot of deep thinking about politics here (in the country ) not here as in "here" in the forum. Nev

  5. You are going to need a regulator of some kind that is compatible with your battery to give the required protection. On some AGM (low maintenance) batteries excess heat will occur during what should be a normal charge. Naturally a very low rate charger will not generate as much heat as a bigger rate charger but when this happens the battery is "on the way out" and ready to discharge itself even with the charger removed and that can cause excess temp which must be a risk on a plane as well as having no "ergs" available from that source. and the need to disconnect it from the charge system in flight. for safety reasons. Nev

  6. Regardless of the source, solar or whatever, IF the charger keeps charging it will affect any battery.. The ones you can safely leave on are much more expensive . I never just leave one on, anyhow. but I do makes sure they are never allowed to sit discharged. That will sulphate the plates and short them out generally, permanently. . Continuous charge of a lead acid battery will form hydrogen and oxygen and the level drops and you need to top up with pure water . If the level is very low the SG of the remaining acid is very high and the plates are only partly covered. Not good. .Nev.

  7. Free speech is where only money talks The rest have no say. In the US, EVERYTHING except what golden-haired Boy tweets is FAKE. That's a pretty big deal IF you think about it Sco Mo thanks the quiet Australians that obediently vote to achieve a "miracle" result. Sco Mo is a name he gave himself so it must be OK if I or anyone else uses it. A miracle is something else usually requiring divine intervention no less. Do one of them and you can achieve sainthood in the Catholic Church. That should TRUMP anything Don can come up with , I would think. The way I see it Trump needs a miracle or I hope he does IF he gets back we will need a miracle to stop WW3 . Nev

  8. A few doctors have asked me what part of London I'm from. In my whole life I've spent a max total of 5 days there. You pick a little bit of accent up from any place you stay a while in. Takes more than a couple of days though. Nev

  9. Covid9 will Most likely never be dead. Neither is immunity guaranteed and you'll never get 100% vaccination. We eliminated TB and smallpox and laxity has caused resurgence of more virulent forms of TB and measles kills. Flu comes around in a new form each year. HIV and STD's are increasing in some areas. China just lost all the Pigs with swine flu not 12 months ago. Do we never learn? These things don't have legs and crawl over the ground like cane toads do. They travel on and in people and people's interaction spreads them usually via Jet transport, where you're crammed in like cattle for hours and all use the same dunnies and handles and cough all over each other, and when you get to your cruise ship, you can finish the job and take your time.

  10. reply to#20. Ah, but they'd never learn to speak stryne. If you are away for few years you need to do the updates or just grunt a bit, rock your head and say Yeahno , a few 'F" expletives and tail off and you might get away with it for weeks.. Nev
