When the Current POTUS doesn't think law and Protocol apply to Him the Problem is right there. Don't look further. You have a Dictator who will get more desperate as his decline continues. Keep watching. (Till you are Not allowed to) Nev

They DON'T have to be and Islam is not the Only threat. Lack of TRUTH in the Media is a threat to Democracy and while we have a free Vote there is a chance of keeping the thing on the rails. Nev

You will Love the test drive IF you allow yourself to. The Shark rides Beautifully. It HAS to be the way of the future. Gradually but surely.. Nev

I would say that it is the children who are the problem. Imaging how they think after growing up in an ISIS dominated society. I bet none of those children knows how to play Footy or League; has ever ridden a skateboard, or done anything that kids of a similar age in Australia have done. Those kids ae, unfortunately, the next generation of Islamist radicals.

Where's the Track there? Nev

Better IF he could ZAP him. Nev

The MIND doesn't easily rest with a Non Decision because genetically it reduces the chance of survival in the wild, but that's not appropriate to your situation. You don't HAVE to move, and you are not threatened. Is it a Mid life crisis? IF you are looking for the Meaning of Life or a Meaningful Life, Join the Queue. I reckon we are here, Because we are here ..Nev

The rider will get sick of the Noise if the truth be Known. It's a "Look at Me" thing for those with no other attributes. Poor sods really. Nev

Maybe the ornithopter is bitter and twisted and we can't have it turning left can we? I think it's biased actually. LH circuits are preferred, Nev

You can't revoke the citizenship of an Australian if it would leave them stateless. This is not something Labor or even the LNP can do if they were in government. There is no doubt these women made a monumentally stupid decision (although some were pressured into it by family, and were only girls themselves). And some may remain a security risk. The government will need to eventually let them back, it has no choice. What it can do is charge them with whatever crimes they've committed and lock them up here. The question it's facing now is, does it leave them and their children (who are innocent) in a terrible place where their kids are likely to be radicalised themselves while it dithers with the political pressure, or does it act quickly and provide those children the support services they need?

I think we can rule that out but I could be yours. but relax . It's unlikely. Nev

It's worse than that Nev. I am your father.

I moved to the bush to get away from it all. I don't even vote anymore, it's not worth my time voting for idiot politicians who bring in murdering muslims and then blame everyone except themselves for the Bondi massacre. And now they're letting in more Islamic wives of ISIS terrorists just because they're Australian citizens. Would Mars bump into Planet Earth if their citizenship was revoked ... to the stupid far-left Labor party, it would.

Can’t turn or are just in a hurry to get away?

Watch this model ornithopter turn continually to the left without a trimmed rudder. Amazing!

A dry grass straw that is; you'll have a lot of trouble trying to get a soft green one up there.

When you stick a grass straw up a March Fly's bum and let it go, they fly off in a straight line and can't turn.

The straight-through drag pipes seem to appearing everywhere these days. Not so bad with a quiet steady rider, but I think a lot of others like to crank that throttle on just to make a racket. A mate of mine is putting Verex drag pipes on his new Bonneville, about $1,400 for the pair I think it is. He was a bit concerned about getting pulled up with them, but he's an old bloke and rides steady so should be ok. The standard pipes on his Speedmaster sound like a sewing machine. He checked up on putting the drag pipes on it and seems to think the warranty will be ok.

lt's quite nice being here a lot of the time it's a lovely property, though as l say l have still been getting v down at night bc of the situation itself. The indecision, just plain stuck on it and so the limbo and so then the time wasting away because of it. Not getting any younger l can hardly be bothered now but if this goes on, restarting somewhere else especially if that involves building which it probably would, either here or on some new place, either way that'll just get harder. Keep telling myself logically, well what's a few mths out right now, don't worry about it hell even if it takes 6-12mths to make a decision not really any harm butttt , on the other hand, not as simple as that.

The Pope and Trump are on stage in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans toward Trump and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their hearts and for the rest of their lives whenever they speak of this day, they will rejoice!" Trump says, "I seriously doubt that. With one little wave of your hand? Show me!" So the Pope slaps him.

Pretty good innings.

That means Adelaide only got back half the number of wheels it lost to Melbourne.

Just on another EV related topic. BYD recently announced that development of Sodium phosphate batteries has proved successful and that BYD is moving towards full production of this type of enegery storage. I think that the main advantages of sodium phosphate technology is a lower cost of raw materials and the elimination of the fire risks associated with lithium batteries. BYD knows about economies of scale. Sodium phosphate batteries can only become the universal standard if the majority of manufacturers are using them. To get this change started industry-wide, BYD has apparently not patented the process, but is freelky sharing the knowledge with everyone who makes batteries. We shall see what we shall see.

Not quite a conversion on the road to Damascus, but it looks like I'll be taking my first ride in an EV next week. My son has bought a BYD Shark 6 for himself and a BYD Sealion for the family car. My son has a business pimping up 4WDs. He worked out plans to do what he wants to his Shark and has had initial talks with the sellers of BYDs, interesting them in his idea. If his talks produce anything, his business will contract to do up these cars as special vehicles, which will add something special to retailer's offerings. From what he says, he thinks he will be starting limited production around Spring. As well as doing this stuff with BYDs, he will still be doing similar work on the usual suspects. It's good to see a young man (geez! He's 36!!) having a go. I can only wish him success. However, no matter how successful he becomes in business, he'll still be my dickhead of a son.

Phillip Island has lost the MotoGP to Adelaide.
