I think for everyday users, they are fine. How many people drive a manual these days and how many times does one apply the handbrake while the car is in motion?

That's my point about Albo - he can read the back room of politics, but can't read the front room of the electorate. Yes, the MSM are largely biased against the ALP, but his timing and handling of the Voice exemplified his poor decision making on appealing to the public

I'm here, but not there (as in on the TV show).. I guess I am not that photogenic.

That was my initial thought, too... but this: made me thing there was more to it than my initial thought.

I may have misinterpreted the post but are you saying the way a girl acts or dresses in some way gives a reason (not justification) for them to be assaulted or murdered?

Whilst there are remnants of the class system, notably the royals and the Duke of Westminster, and a few that still retain a sear in the house of Lords, it is largely defunct. Though I do understand, the royals and the Duke of Westminster are exempt from inheritance tax

Hmm.. would have thought facts would decide if published items were false or not

You can thank British politicians and the MOD purchasing team.. and they continut to stick it up the Brits in favour of the yanks.

I would say his innovation is more marketing, PR, and corporate shenanigans than products https://www.motorcyclenews.com/advice/best/electric-motorbikes/

You have a short memory.. Last - what 5 or 7 Lib governments would take that crown. Not even hiding the corruption or selling out the Americ... er.. no Chinese, of all things.. The port in the NT, and what about our agricultiral land. .Talk about selling out our security: https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/how-much-of-australias-land-is-owned-by-china-210213000.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALbS84IYHYWNlcylj_R-vb2Cd7rbvPKkIpstKNiSfqxRc3qezpV6t9y2aaHIHyi-tUPZ2MsD7Ngo9H_k7li4pmJmGoznXBUOj3N-EbpCFy0ULL6dKfw8XG9Wx_r89BBL7_Sxarr4oKMsvNPXRO3S-00GMsb-Mlh6PSjbAimzJeR6 Size of foreign agricultural land - freehold interests by source country Given the Chinese are Johnny come lateleys, their opercentage of foregin ownership sis not bad.. again mainly under the LNP governments: Mostly acquired under the LNP governments.. Well done.. Very competent. Is that your idea of security for your grandkids? I would take those I named over any of the motley crew bozos the LNP offer up - well except for Simon Birmingham... And I am sure there are others in the back benches, but the LNP party machine would not have them up as leaders. And yes, the ALP ones I named are far more competent - unless corruption and total waste is a measure of competency. Remember the vaccine was not a race.. and it took who to secure vaccines to help Australia out of a lockdown https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-11/kevin-rudd-australia-covid-pfizer-vaccine-supply-senior-execs/100284902 How much more competence and shit for brains incompetent arseholes do you want evidence of... You know the ones that got things done. I agree Albo was a party fixer who got lucky.. Just like SFM.. But maybe you should take your bias glasses off. When I said competent - it was a relative term compared to other pollies..

Per capita - yeah.. but concentrated at one end of the field and a lot outside of the cricket ground.. Check the Corruption thread.

Well, well, well.. Not to be outdone, the NT has got ito the act. This fella dumbs it down a bit, but if this is even 1/2 true, forget Trump.. At least he is honest about his corruption. Scum floats to the top, I guess.. but we all pay for it. When I did a couple of weeks in Abu Dhabi, at least their govenment made ure fuel was free to the locals. I guess I know what they mean by fossil fuel subsidies.

I agree with the post, but I can't help thinking the small target strategy, despite them denying it, is Albo's and he is holding others back from being more inspiring.. and part of it could be the threat he perceives them to be. Chalmers, Marles, Burke, Bowen (to a lesser extent), and Pilbersek strike me as being able to competently go about their work and can, given the right lattitude, make their mark, which would strenghten Albo... but they seem to be on a long and tight leash..

Nope.. they have prob left it too late to switch leaders to give themselves a chance.. Best to hope for is a minority government

It would suggest the NK army is 100,000 men over-supplied. My money at the moment is on arms companies.. Lots of restocking to do and a lot of frayed nerves

I think it will depend on the quality of the touchscrreen itself. Some touchscreens seem to be very responsive to touch, while others seem to randomly decide when they will respond to touch or not. A quick search did not yield minimum design rules for touchscreens used for driving functions. You think they would have worked it out byy now. Of course, if there are such rules, I would happily stand corrected. I did find this, though: https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/safety-authority-will-punish-carmakers-for-relying-on-touchscreens Again, touch screen, like many other tech advances are not limited to EVs. Tesla is sort of the Apple of the car industry - it has been revolutionaty in the human interface between driving, regardless of EV bit. I have test driven new ICE cars that are touch screen for many things. Even EVs still have pedals for stop and go.

Yeah, but you don't want them going postal

Wasn't Cleetis on the Dukes of Hazard? Anyway, for yer 'ngineerin' types https://youtu.be/mQDpWvnAeRQ?si=7BNoG_SuVBY11XXu

I fell in love with another woman on Thursday... in a totally plutonic way, of course. After alighting the morning train at Waterloo, I was walkign briskly behind the new love of my life, not really paying much attention to her, nor most things around me. Suddenly, she looked towards the train and, then darted towards it. As I was close to the train, I couldn't see until I passed her, but she stopped her London frenetic paced walk to help an elderly man who was clearly struggling to step down from the train to the platform. It was a heart-melting moment. Seriously, if there was a flower vendor on the platform, she may well have had herself a bunch of flowers.

Never driven an aicraft with one

H. Those IO540s are music to my ears...
