    Quickies part 2

    Saw a girl at the gym on an exercise bike, wearing a safety helmet, so I put on a life jacket and got on the rowing machine beside her.

    There's another one on Youtube where the closed captions are shocking. It's about how decimals are better by 1,000. Calld Nerd Nite.

    Right Marty.
  6. I Googled EV range shortfall and came up with these: https://thedriven.io/2025/08/06/tesla-byd-kia-and-smart-evs-all-fall-short-in-australian-real-world-range-tests/ https://autotalk.com.au/industry-news/aaa-tests-show-evs-fall-short-of-advertised-range-in-real-world-conditions https://www.afr.com/companies/transport/buyer-beware-this-ev-doesn-t-do-what-it-says-on-the-tin-20250805-p5mkgo https://www.pressreader.com/australia/the-guardian-australia/20250807/281522232158061 https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/electriccars/article-13186995/How-far-electric-cars-fall-short-advertised-range-does-vehicle-rank.html There were others behind paywalls, like The Australian and Daily Telegraph.

    Correct Spacey. Surprisingly, Snoop Dogg failed to guess it in the 30 seconds. On an episode I watched tonight, not the puzzle below, the contestant missed her bonus question. Had she guessed it, she would have won an extra $1 million.
  11. I was heading out to my podiatrist appointment this morning and as I walked past the mailbox on the way to the car, I glanced in to see if there was anything there. I saw an envelope, so pulled it out. I was staggered to find it was a formal looking enveloped with a typed address, but it was addressed to my late wife, who died in March 2022. I opened it and it was from an American based travel firm offering trips to Europe and Ireland. The address on the reply envelope was a PO Box at Glen Waverley, but their website has no Australian contact details such as address or phone number. I wanted to have a go at them and ask where they got my wifes details.
