    We lived in Tumut with the Ford Pilot. I agree that the real risk was winding muddy steep roads often with no barriers against a steep drop, and bridges built by the SMA with no sides. Slipping and sliding with badly adjusted mechanical brakes at the back. Sometimes towing a heavy home-made camping trailer.

    I can recommend the scallop pies on King Island. Seafood, they must be healthy.

    I survived a childhood in the back of a Ford Pilot, until dad bought the FB Holden.

    I am the permanent professional pie purchaser for our aero club. I only buy the Angus Beef and Pepper variety, 32 pies at a time fit in my cooler bag.

    I recall that the CSIRO has admitted that they have no expertise is estimating the cost of nuclear. They subcontracted the work to a consultant who also had no specific expertise, and who used juniors to Google the information needed for their estimate.

    I have seen baby Krakatoa smoking in the sea off Java.

    Are you calling me a lyre?

    Moderator: a substance (such as graphite) used for slowing neutrons in a nuclear reactor.

    I can see a damsel with a dulcimer sitting in there and entertaining a crowd of yokels.

    I'm keeping out of this!

    The events are not under Santorini, but beneath the undersea crater of Kolumbo. I would not be hanging around to see if it erupts.

    No, but it is thought to have wiped out the Minoans.

    These events are centred on the Kolumbo undersea volcano.

    The unpredictability and the nonsense is what makes it great. It wrong foots his opponents.

    Deutsche Welle (DW) News – Bias and Credibility - Overall, we rate Deutsche Welle (DW) Left-Center biased, says mediabiasfactcheck. Hahaha .. I don't really care that their fact check is biased, I am just serving back the response I usually get when I post on politics or climate change.

    I think you will find Biden removed many of Trump's sanctions on Iran.

    There is every chance of a major eruption in the sea off the Greek island of Santorini. People wanting to evacuate cannot get flights or ferry rides. There are queues and some panic. It could be a big disaster. The eruption will not be Santorini itself, but an undersea volcano to the northeast.

    Trump says the USA will take over Gaza. When the surrounding countries refuse to take the Palestinians, he will say "I offered them the solution and they refused it." Then he will be in a position to back Israel as hard as he likes. He is also rebuilding sanctions on Iran. I predict a popular revolution in Iran within 12 months.

    A lot of good music came out of the Civil War. I have the CD.

    They would want the $1M each. As most have families, this could be $4-5M for many. And then the benefits of being US citizens. I reckon they would queue up.

    Greenland has (I think) 52,000 inhabitants, and they really don't like the Danes. Give them a million dollars each and they could vote for independence, then sign up as a US state. A good deal for $52 billion.

    The outcome, if we abandon fossil fuels prematurely, will be devastating for Australia. By prematurely I mean before we can get nuclear up and running.
