You are required to have age verification. We licence our age verification on an instance basis. An instance is defined as whatever makes us the most money, or alternatively causes you the most pain.

You know. A worst case scenario.

This is too easy:

  • "My fellow Australians,...."
  • "Let me be clear,....."
  • blah blah blah "resilience" blah blah blah

and my personal favourite that has to be a winner:

  • "Mr Speaker!"

Electric conversions are usually recommended for vehicles that are pre CANbus era, which IIRC is pre 1996. This is so they can deal with all the other electric/mechanical systems, eg power steering, brakes AC etc. In some cars, your headlights, tail lights, wipers and windows run via CANbus. 1996 is 30 years ago.

The definition of a 'classic car' is 20 years and older. That rusted out old EA Falcon sitting on blocks in your neighbours front yard is a classic car. The hanged up Toyota Corolla from the 70s without a straight panel that has 800K on it and won't die is a classic car. The definition does not only apply to special or show cars.

So, the recommended car to convert by definition is a classic car.

I've looked (hoped?) for an electric conversion for my own car, and other cars, and from my perspective, it is functionally unregisterable, and financially stupid versus just buying an EV.

But, hey, if it's your property, you do what you want with it.

Even for the poor, anyone with superannuation may be caught paying a tax when it passes on to your beneficiaries.

Basically, your super may be split into a taxable and non-taxable part. And you have to pay 15% on the taxable part when it is withdrawn. So, when you die, that 15% of the taxable part has to be paid.

There are ways to avoid this. Best to speak to a financial adviser, as it depends on age, financial position etc.

This is not financial advice. I am not a financial adviser.

The damage is already done.

The intelligence community (and rest of government) must be so riddled with Russian assets that it would take decades, if ever, to root them all out.

I still can't believe that the US went from McCarthyism, Cold War, anti-USSR to electing a compromised President and obviously compromised DNI.

And when will Joe Rogan interview her next? He was always championing her. Or did he flip flop again because he's changed his mind and is dumber than the posts of a MMA ring?

I don't know how you can tell if the flame survived the fire, or if the fire totally destroyed and has replaced the flame.

Yeah, now that the casinos have torpedoed themselves, and Packer doesn't own the Crown, they are all "Ooh, why don't we get some nightlife going?"

I wonder how much our tyranny of distance affects this.

All the countries above us are smaller, and some are basically the size of one of our big cities greater metropolitan areas.

I just don't get the whole bathroom outrage thing. Look, I'm a bloke, so have NFI, but don't women's bathrooms have stalls? So who is looking? Who cares?

Seriously, I wouldn't care if somebody came into the gents and squatted over a urinal to pee.

We are there to pee and/or poo. And get out as fast as possible. And I do, what, 98% of that in my own home anyways? Are people living in these public bathrooms 24x7 or something to be offended?

I just don't get it.

idk, I kinda expected a bot to be machine like, regular, predictable and couldn't be stopped and would go on forever.

You know, like the Terminator.

But sydbot hasn't posted anything for 2 months.

Not sure it matters, but I'd like to know that sydbot is safe and happy.

Poor bloke! (thelemmy.club)

It's absolutely pissing down here right now, and I noticed this little fella sitting on a ledge outside a window trying to get out of the rain.

I've never seen any bird try and shelter there before, but am doing my best to not disturb him.

Hope the eaves and ledge give him some protection and he can stay safe.

Update: The rain has stopped, and my little friendly shadow has gone. All the birds are going mental! The cockies sound furious!

Victoria is already in a state of disaster, and today looks like being a really bad day for fires in Sydney, so thought I would link a couple of key sites I use:

Stay safe!

Hope everyone stays safe and cool. Remember: have a plan, leave early if you can. Catastrophic is not a recommendation. GTFO.

Anyways, anytime I start talking weather with someone, I can't help but have certain songs run through my head. The Heatwave Mix is an open zone for song recommendations that have at least one line that talk about weather/temperature. Please post the line and a link to the song.

I'll kick off the hotness with a line that always gets stuck in my head : I walk about in the summertime saying "How about this heat!".

Now, once we hear that, the next recommended song says I should get my funk on and "Keep my cool!"

Australia have already won The Ashes series after winning the first 3 Tests. The English won the 4th Test to make the series 3-1, with just this last game remaining.

Australia hasn’t been able to field their top team all series, and are without captain Cummins and top spinner Lyons again. Usman Khawaja has announced his retirement, and this will be his last match in front of his home crowd.

England can find redemption with another win, and arguably claim they could have won the series. Will Bazball continue to live, after seeming dead after the Aussies went up 3-0?

10am-12:30pm AEDT will be compulsory viewing for cricket nuts. Who wins the toss and whether the bowling team can break through in that first session may determine the result.

But a Test is 5 days, even though we seem to normally get 2 day Test Matches in this series.

Australia have already won The Ashes series after winning the first 3 Tests.

The Boxing Day Melbourne Cricket Ground Test is an annual event where legendary heroes and villains are born.

Australia hasn't been able to field their top team all series, and are without captain Cummins and top spinner Lyons. Batting changes are also expected with the return of Steve Smith.

England may make desperate changes to try and win.

10am-12:30pm AEDT will be compulsory viewing for cricket nuts. Who wins the toss and whether the bowling team can break through in that first session may determine the result.

But a Test is 5 days, and so far England has shown to be incapable of winning a Test in 2 days, 4 days or 5 days.
