  1. First time we've had honey from our bees! Despite neither of us really knowing what we were doing, we managed to get about 3.4kg from our one hive.
  2. Seriously though you have to ask about police procedures and training if they manage to pump 61 rounds into 1 person. Surely they're not trained to empty their whole magazine while others do the same.
  3. "Because they're American" would probably be a better answer.
  4. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-02/tesla-cybertruck-explodes-outside-of-trump-las-vegas-hotel/104778394
  5. It's funny, isn't it. He's done a lot of good - kickstarted the electric car race, big batteries, home batteries, even done some good in the aerospace/satellite & communications field. But on the other hand he's an obnoxious twerp and the US's worst boss, who sucks up to the US's worst president. Plus he's supportive of far right hate speech and conspiracy theorists, and turned Twitter into a Trump echo chamber, not to mention push/manipulate crypto currencies which are terrible for the environment and really only used by criminals. Guess humans are complex creatures.
  6. That's not like a Nigerian prince, is it?
  7. Hmmm... I remember the bikes I owned were a lot simpler... ignition on and push the start button. (The V4 in the Honda VFR750 especially were very reliable!)

    Elon owns SpaceX. Pronounced "spay...sex" Bit of a dad joke, as he said.

    I thought we already knew that...
  10. Jeez, thanks OT, I feel so much better now... My 14yo son was out spending his christmas money and came home with this book. He's been chortling in his room ever since.
  11. It'll leave a bad taste in your mouth.
  12. There's one old chap who pedals up a road we often use, so I've seen him a few times now. Unfortunately the Lycra on his arse has worn thin and he seems to be a fan of going commando, so it's quite an unpleasant experience overtaking him.
  13. Merry Xmas all! Hope you all have a fantastic day.
  14. "Spare... time"?
  15. When batteries come down a bit we'll get one. Probably still stay connected to the grid but at the moment we get bugger all for all the power we generate, while paying through the nose for the evening power we use from the grid. Far better to charge the battery first and use that when the sun goes down.
