    Maybe there is a dog. Nev
  2. Some obscure Blogger. What does his view count for? Read the replies and note the audience he caters to. Nev
  3. Well, THAT would put the Cat amongst the Pigeons . Give it time. Nev
  4. It Cost $$s to pull out of the NAVAL (French) deal, and the way Sco Mo did it was pretty sneaky and the French were NOT happy. ScoMo and spouse spend time at Mar A Lago with the Trumps . What amuses ME is Sharing Nuclear subs is ONLY done WITH AUS and US troops train Here and we have Pine Gap as a prime target but we still get Tariffs against us.?? With Friends like Trump, you don't need enemies with AMERICA FIRST and UP the rest. Nev
  5. It's not too safe for the Cops, either.(OR Presidents and now anyone Trump doesn't LIKE). Nev
  6. A lot must suffer from Hypothermia with the Cops saying "Freeze" all the time. Nev
  7. Turnbull and Macron are good friends. Deals with Trump are pretty suss. He's thoroughly Unpredictable. I Reckon WE have BLOWN our dough. That's a fair chunk of OUR DEBT. "Bottom of the Harbour" Scheme. A bad deal from day one. Kickbacks?? Nev
  8. The inmates RUN the asylum. Proper behaviour is Cast to the wind. Civilisation is a thin VENEER anytime. Nev
  9. Silly little Boys with oversize Egos and little Knowledge or talent bent on self advancement and control. It will NOT end well.. Nev
  10. Try it then. 2 and 4 will. Nev

    ran-sacked cafe?
  13. Write the chemical equation and do the atomic weights if you don't believe me. Nev
  14. A gallon of petrol Makes more than a gallon of water. I've seen evidence of water in Aircooled Aero engine Oil. (Cloudy). Nev
  15. Eight sided Nuts? They DO exist. on American Excelsior Crankpins. Nev
  16. Your Alternator should charge at idle speed. Are you running with your Lights on and does your dash include a Voltmeter?. Most of my vehicles never see 3,000 RPM. How quickly does the engine start? Nev
  17. Loss of water from open earth channels is Large and people steal it. Some of those Rivers actually flow backwards at such times. The only efficient way to move water is in pipes and Pumped. Salinated land becomes Useless. You have to rest it and grow salt tolerant plants COSTLY and rely on RAIN to Leech some of the salt out. Trees used to keep the Water table lower and prevent/ delay salination but we Love to clear them don't we? ALL the salt in the sea Comes from the Land. Dissolved in the Rivers. Bore water is very mineralised. Rain water is NOT. Irrigation is a problem wherever it has been Practiced for a long time. Flood or by drip makes little difference unless you collect and dispose of the salt. Natural flooding will move some of the salt out. Where evaporation takes place, the Salt will concentrate. Nev
  18. The World is crying for leaders with a Plan that is more than JUST bettering their Personal wealth. Trump LEADS to Calamity. Putin's a Leader who lets nothing stand in his way. Brazil's Bolsenaro was another (Focused) Leader who did nothing to stop Covid because it would cost money. Hitler got on with his Plan. Etc Nev
  19. At higher revs the output is still regulated and will not be altered by higher revs unless it's a permanent magnet thing which would be very unusual on such vehicles. 1500 engine revs would get you as much as higher revs will. The rotor is an ELECTRO Magnet and varies when the current to it does. Nev
  20. Alternators should charge at low revs. That's why they are superior to DC Generators with commutators. Nev
  21. Yes Nothings perfect but it's a good start.. Nev

    And they can't even handle change from a Note at the checkout. Nev
  23. By soundly Voting out the Trump Imitators, don't you think WE have already done that? Nev
  24. Your solutions to the Problems are not based on fact. A Shallow river with slow flow won't carry much water without breaking it's Banks. Where is a suitable place to build a dam deep enough to not have a high evaporation rate/volume held? Mt ISA DAM is 11 Metres deep and it is adversely affected by evaporation ( Can't be relied on as a water source.). The channel country provides the water for the lakes in Central Aust which are ALL salt lakes and only get water irregularly. Lake Eyre is below sea level and average depth only 1.5 Metres. The ONLY water that doesn't add salt is RAIN. Rivers become more salty as they drain more country. Irrigation concentrates the salt in places where it's used. It's inevitable UNLESS you drain the Block and pump the water to dry out in a shallow lake. That wastes a lot of soil nutrients as well and works better on fields with a bit of slope. The drainage system is costly and prone to blockages. You have to constantly MONITOR the depth of the Water Table. Water is too costly to over water. You have to do it sometimes in a Heat wave for example that may last for four days or More. Cotton, Rice and almonds are high water use crops that really should not be grown in semi desert areas. Nev
  25. Irrigational always gets involved with Salination and INLAND there's high rates of evaporation. Most of Australia is very flat and water doesn't flow away very quickly and spreads out far and wide. Nev
