But Jakarta , would love the chance of housing paying guests .
Look at the upgrade to 'it's' prison system if they could get one of those fat contracts.

Economically. ! .
It makes sense to stop the reoffending .
this present system has great cost & isn't working .
Can you see a better way of rehabilitation.
At lower cost to the taxpayer .

How about ( the cheapest option ) sending all longterm
Prisoners, to a third world country to serve their term there . Australia pay's a good ( by their standards ) payment for the length of the prisoners term .
If the prisoner dies , no more payments .
It's the same as now ,' contracted ' prisons .
spacesailor
PS. : long term prisoners are sometimes deported after
Their time served . So no rehabilitation.
I just got a quote on a used 24 volt 620 ah battery at $1,139 ,
With a two year warranty.
Sounds OK to me .
At the moment I have a stack of used truck type batteries for my garage inverter . Plus three brand new
4X4 batteries.
Not enough for a house , the first ( 72 v ) was too heavy
To work with .

Big V8 go pretty fast on the straights , out of town .
Of course, it wasn't city centre to city centre,
Gold Coast & Parramatta.
May make a difference ! .

From Sydney to Brisbane used to take 81/2 hours .
Now it's 2 days .
I have done it just under that magic eight .
Shuuss , don't tell the revenuer's .

I have been offered a ' forklift battery ' 72 v for $1 000 it had one 2volt crook cell . it would have been rejig'd to24 volt with the amp-hour tripled.
It would have been just the ticket to run the essentials .
But as a " low income " home we do not qualify for any
Solar grants .

The .other's are the charities.
Iv'e had a couple lately asking for a monthly eft payment. " so sorry , no bankcard ".
they won't take cash .so miss-out on even 50c .

When the decommission ' coal fired ' power stations .
The land could be utilised for nuclear a fuelled power station .
then all those obsolete ' rail sidings ' could be used to house our politicians.

Optus told their customer , to make an ( imho ) an illegal police report of theft . Then tried to charge me $80
To unlock 'this' Optus customer's stolen phone .
spacesailor
I got caught too .
Friend of a friend bought a phone in Dubbo from Optus .
but, there's no Optus in Wellington .
Returned & was told to buy Telsa sim .
Second month , they have two bills , as Optus wouldn't cancel their useless account .I bought it & cancelled both accounts. Alas, that didn't work . The Optus still sent billing to original purchasers.
Optus told them to report phone as stolen to cancel all accounts . Leaving me with a stolen phone . That was in use with Optus before it was stolen . I could have paid $80 dollars to Optus to get it released . But stuff it . Those carrier's are just after your money & will sell you anything to get you hooked .

Just the same as Spain has at the moment.
Over 200 deceased & still lots more missing .
We as individuals are helpless, in those situations.
spacesailor
There was a big push , years ago , were you're old phone was resold overseas .
I gave a couple of obsolete ' laptop's ' to a person with
Relatives in Fiji. On his return, he thanked me, & said they were heaps more modern than the school were using . So one went there .
spacesailor
Please .
Back onto topic ,
Our TV is inundated with that ' yellow one ' .
More time to him , than to , two wars & two devastating events .
spacesailor
PS : over 200 now for Spain's death count .
Retirement! .
The new life to chase those dreams .
And make them reality.
That a working person only wishes for .
SO , Do not dream so long , you will be old & cranky.
Your legs will betray your mind as you climb Aiers rock.
spacesailor
PS. : has many on here climbed the rock, that was a book & film .
" picnic at hanging rock " . Done that .
Yes , But you will never get a. $ Five , 50c coin ,without cash " in the hand " .
I did a few years ago , take a coin to get more ( a lot more ) than it's face value . It gave me a big smile .
a little bit like a lottery win .
spacesailor
PS. : A sad day , without a jingle, in your pocket.
Thank you .
But , per hour , day , or Total, of continuous rain .
Sorry to be an ass , Iv'e never thought about it , untill this 400 mm plus in eight hours , Spanish disaster.
I see the death toll is continuing to rise .
