octave

I might be a bit thick but I have no idea what this means. as P Hansen said, please explain.

Sorry, but I have started to consider people who post things without supporting evidence as losers. Happy to consider all evidence, just post something to say that this is not just a thought bubble

Well then present to me peer-reviewed evidence

I am happy to read any link to any reputable study.

I would argue about whether it is sensible or not. On this forum, I tend to make decisions about what I am willing to debate based on the evidence I know or on the information I am willing to research. I think I am on pretty safe ground suggesting that Bolt and Sky News have a particular agenda. I don't think many people here would dispute that. Of course, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. If environmentalists have exploited indigenous culture to stop an environmentally bad project then that is fine with me. I would agree that knowing your enemy is useful. Climate change deniers ought to be reading peer-reviewed studies by reputable organizations such as Academia Chilena de Ciencias, Chile Academia das Ciencias de Lisboa, Portugal Academia de Ciencias

This video is very informative. It is great to see facts rather than hysterical nonsense. The small time difference would not be a deterrent to me. If time is the issue we should remember that the internal combustion engine is near the end of its development. There can not be much more efficiency to be squeezed out of it. By contrast, the EV is much less mature. There is so much more potential yet to be realized. The 1000-mile battery, sodium batteries solid state batteries are all on the way.

Nothing new really. NRMA and RACV etc. have always carried around a jerry can of fuel for the many cars that run out of petrol. Basic roadside assistance for zipping around town Including the basics, our Roadside Care package provides assistance for anyone driving your nominated vehicle. Per breakdown it includes: help for common breakdowns, flat batteries, and tyre troubles 20km of metro towing 5 litres of fuel if you’re stranded in Victoria with an empty tank.

Normally I am happy to look at videos that present different points of view but once I see but once I see Andrew Bolt and Skynews mentioned I am not inclined to delve further. Murdoch will push any line to suit his purposes.

The Netherlands. They a much smarter at designing for everyone. I know people who don't use bike lanes tend to have a hatred of them but when done well it benefits everyone.

This is precisely why we need fewer vehicle lanes and more space for bikes mobility scooters and pedestrians like in some European cities. Mobility scooters should not have to be used the road.

By this, I do mean reducing the area for cars in favour of pedestrians, bikes mobility scooters etc.

I am all for sharing the street space more equitably, between cars pedestrians bikes, and mobility scooters. It is good for people and it is good for business when done well.

Some more information might make this post more relevant. Which road are you referring to?

A positive thing I did yesterday and most weeks is some flight sim. In about 2010 I took my brother-in-law flying. He loved it so much that he at my suggestion booked himself in for a flying lesson. Although he lives interstate, in the years after he became qualified he would visit us a couple of times a year and we would go on many cross-country adventures. We both drifted out of flying during the Covid years. Now about once a week we get together on the flight sim server and fly together. We have a project of flying around Australia in around one-hour hops. We started at his home airfield in Gawler SA and have covered the east coast including Tas and next week should get to Darwin. Then it is down through central Australia back to our starting point, and then we are thinking of flying to NZ. We usually use the live weather at the time and also different navigation methods. We do occasionally fail to find some of the smaller dirt strips. I enjoy the challenge of remembering how to navigate old school. Also because we have a voice channel we get to chat one-on-one for for an hour or so a week, sometimes about aviation but not necessarily.

I'll drink to that! 🍷

No tracking number just a link which is always suspicious.

I had a text message saying my parcel was unable to be delivered and to click on the link to provide my details. I get many of these and the clever thing is that I am waiting for a parcel. I think these days there is a high likelihood that any random person a text is being sent to actually is waiting for something. Even if they are not it is a little intriguing to think that something is about to be delivered. The thing is not to click on a link. Anything I order, if it is coming from Austpost I can track through my app. A parcel from other sources can be tracked through various tracking sites without giving anything more than the tracking number. I haven't been caught .... yet

I am as responsible for the drift as anyone else😁

I think we should try and prevent drift on this particular thread. We are supposed to be celebrating the positives. Other downbeat subjects could perhaps find a home in a new thread.

If I mention your name will I get a discount?🙂

I don't see how this relates to drug testing as it operates at an event. Again the important thing is not our gut feeling on whether something is "right" or "wrong" but whether the results are more positive than negative. If someone close to me tried drugs because of peer pressure or whatever I would prefer that the drugs had been tested for contaminants. Harm minimization may not be perfect but neither is the alternative. I certainly do not believe it is a panacea and it has to be used alongside other strategies. Pill testing systems have been used in many countries and many studies have been done. I have no interest in changing anyone's mind. Public opinion seems to be for pill testing at events. Two-thirds of Australians support pill testing at festivals: Survey Pill testing really does reduce the risk of harm for drug users

I believe that in a pill-testing trial in Canberra 18% of people after testing decided to dispose of the drug, this must surely be a good thing. It brings drug users into contact with people who can also subtly deliver a health message. It may erode the user's faith in the quality of the drugs that are being sold. A test that detects a particularly bad drug circulating at an event could have important implications for others who may have bought the same drug. The old-fashioned methods of dealing with drugs have not worked and are unlikely to suddenly start working. We need to try other methods and rigorously evaluate the evidence and not just make decisions on emotion. Pending further information I am for drug testing with rigorous evaluation of the results. Should anyone want to change my my, don't tell me your gut feeling but link me up hard evidence.

I certainly understand that and that is my point , we need to do better with our infrastructure

Notice that the Dutch don't wear helmets. that is another advantage of well-planned bike infrastructure/ Modern helmets are very good, they don't cover your ears.
