Then you run this load over roads that are basically tamped-down dirt covered byt a layer of stones glued together with tar.

As always with AI - beware https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-24/the-ai-sleeper-issue-that-could-sway-australian-elections/107068766

As well as the type of suspension.

Drop the prompt/question answer verbatim in here - would be very interesting

I'll ask AI how bad the ALP and the Coalition are first, before I vote for anyone.

Heavy vehicle mass limits are set for safety and to minimise the impact on roads and infrastructure, to provide for continued productivity. The defining limit to a vehicle's gross mass is the load limit on an axle. That limit basically boils down to how many tyres are attached to an axle, either one or two tyres per side

Well, we all know that you are rust free. Yoiu've told us many times already.

Of course, you won't need AI if you are already a rusted-on party voter.

Use AI to decide who to vote for. My question: "Can I use AI to decide who to vote for in elections?" Answer from ChatGPT: "Yes. AI can be useful for informing your voting decision, but I’d treat it as a research assistant rather than letting it make the decision for you." The answer was a lot longer than this though.

Single trailer semi use to be 42.5 t approx. 93,000lb's. Rigid bogie drive 22.5t round about 50,000lbs. approx. Figures, may have changed a bit since airbags and mass management came in. Road trains a lot more.

Therein lies the rub.

Can you donate to beer?

They have a bright future.

A belly button is basically a scar from when you got into a knife fight with a guy in a mask after being evicted from your first place.

I think I'm drawn to yoga....

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks the horse if it's an alcoholic, considering all the bars it frequents, to which the horse replies, "I don't think I am." POOF! The horse disappears. This is the point in time when any philosophy students in the audience begin to giggle, as they are familiar with the philosophical proposition of cogito ergo sum, or roughly, "I think, therefore I am." But to explain that concept beforehand would be putting Descartes before the horse.

Companies who make profits in Australia often have overseas shareholders. I reckon if you compare remittances to the money going overseas to those shareholders, it'd be a drop in the bucket.

They look for the overlap, Ven.

Moose? Could still be a mouse, if you're Scottish.

Money spent by the government on overseas aid is not a handout, it's a hand up. It typically goes to health, education and development in poorer countries as well as direct food aid in times of famine. As for people who send some of their money back to their families to help them out, it's their money. They earned it, they work here, pay taxes and also support our economy so they are doing their bit for this country as well. Saying that foreign aid recipients expect a handout as their human right and acquire a distorted sense of their own value and worth because they benefit from the aid is nonsense in my opinion. Trump got rid of USAID, which cost the US a relative pittance in cash but a huge amount in international goodwill. People in recipient countries died as a result. Was that a good outcome? in any case, Australia only ranks 25th out of 32 donor nations measured as a proportion of each country's national income, so you can hardly say that we are an overly generous nation.

Oops sorry, PICTURES.....

A man went to his doctor, and the doctor checked him over before commenting, "It looks like you get a lot of exercise." The man replied, "Oh yes! In fact, just the other day I walked 5 miles over rugged terrain. I climbed over rocks and trees. I waded along the edges of a lake, pushing my way through tall thistles, and even slid down sandy slopes, getting sand in my eyes." The doctor was quite impressed. "Well, you sure are a dedicated outdoorsman." The man replied, "No doctor. I'm just really bad at golf."
