What he said. You apply the exponent first.

And there I was thinking he used voice to text.

Maybe she was chewing a lemon.

A lot of people put their most precious possessions in the car, then had to abandon it to burn when they got stuck in the traffic.

You can't use an ASIC as it is not recognised by any authority as a valid identification document.

A dark side of the electric vehicle boom. BYD, Tesla, Ford and Volkswagen all buy nickel from Indonesia, where environmental and human rights concerns are growing. Tesla, BYD and VW purchase huge amounts of Nickel from Indonesia, which currently produces about 50% of world output and is aiming for 75% by 2040. A massive amount of coal is used to power nickel smelting. At three of the biggest nickel industrial parks – Obi Island, Morowali and Weda Bay – the country has planned to double the nickel industry's current power usage. The amount being invested in renewable energy projects to power the nickel industry is just a fraction of the investment in coal. The fallacy of using coal to power the 'green vehicle' revolution is not lost on Shennum. "At Weda Bay Industrial Park, once it's fully operational, there will be 12 new captive coal plants that didn't exist five years ago," she says. "That's 3.8 gigawatts of coal capacity, or roughly what is burned in all of Spain every year, just at this one industrial park in Indonesia." https://www.choice.com.au/transport/cars/eco-friendly/articles/a-dark-side-of-the-ev-boom?utm_medium=email&utm_term=N%2FA&utm_source=Dynamics-365-CIJ&utm_content=INSIDER_090125&utm_campaign=INSIDER_090125

Our town has no mail delivery. This will become more common in future as mail becomes more expensive to post.

You have forgotten the many appalling actions of Dems during Trump's first term.

I still have all my teeth because I took fluoride tablets throughout my childhood.

IC engines run on petrol. Electric cars in Vic run on brown coal. I know which is cleaner.

Did you know? The world land speed record was set at 91.37 miles per hour on January 12, 1904, by Henry Ford. The car had a wooden chassis and no body.

Once the bin is full, do we have a new search for bin laden?

Did you know? Sir Edmund Hillary led the New Zealand component of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (TAE) in 1955-58, under the overall command of the British explorer Dr Vivian Fuchs. The Christchurch Star had to recall its first edition due to its front page banner headline…. “Hillary, Fuchs, off to the Pole” Those were the days…..

We don’t want you carping about it.

A fish mallet.

I believe the duty cycle for the engine is much more stable, so it needs less attention. And the service charges are low, though that could just be a marketing ploy.

We have had two hybrids and they were/ are great. They don't run on the batteries, the batteries smooth out the power demand and give good acceleration from a car with a small petrol motor. Get about 4 litres per 100 km. Minimal need for maintenance, which is cheap. Currently have a Corolla Cross, which is all wheel drive.

When asked why deputies shot a criminal 61 times, Brevard County Sherrif replied "Evil can never be dead enough." Same with Houthis, Hamas and Hesbollah.

If a country is at war, then their aim should be to win. I believe in right and wrong, and that some regimes are evil.

I welcome the Israeli actions and wish them complete victory.

Finland and Sweden have been global exporters of mining equipment for decades, off modest populations.

Elphinstone underground loaders in Burnie, sold to Caterpillar. Horwood Bagshaw in Mannum, Australian since 1838, was sold to CNH, an American-Italian multinational, a few years ago. Freighter Industries sold to Maxicube in 1998.

The recoverable energy from pumped storage is a lot less than you might expect. Either the volume or the head needs to be quite large and there are preferred sizes for the equipment. A farm dam on a hill driving a Pelton wheel has to be matched to a solar and wind driven electric pump in the basic system. The energy produced by solar and wind has to be enough to supply you needs while also returning water to the upper dam - a big demand.
