No offence but do you think wrinkles might have played a part too? 😅

I share your concerns

Yes yes yes.
I tell everyone of my long suffering cornered customers as they come to collect their repaired battery pack, 'The major parties fail us, anyone voting1 for any major party is a fool.'

I'd like more focus on the rapacious nature of the social media platforms.
Algorithms need to be public and transparent.
If they are bad enough that kids need to be sheltered from them what harm is occurring to us while our data is harvested?

We are selling ourselves as a stationary aircraft carrier for the US war plans to defend the chips in Taiwan.
It will not end well for us.

All US weapons systems can be turned off at a whim.
They are effective due to the software connecting to the US surveillance system.
Everytime we take a sub for a spin we will need to ask Uncle Sam for the keys.
If we want to fire something it will not happen without US permission

This conforms to my experience too.

Unfortunately my son will be going to eltham college a private school with a 30k a yr fees
Good luck to his mum finding the money because I am prepared to fund him going to Templestowe College a wonderful state school.
Im not prepared to fight her on this. My son is preferring TC at this stage.

My school had soccer teams
My son's school has none

My public school had yellow buses, 2 of them parked at school during the day ready for excursions and doing the school runs morning and arvo.
My son's public school hires coaches ( they are fancy though)

My public primary school took me to kangaroo Island for a week.
My 11 yo son went to Anglesea for 2 days at his public primary school.
Public schools are getting screwed by the wealthy

Im sure your public school was funded better than your grandkids public school today.
The wealthy are stealing all they can

It's OK if you own a big hotelin town

Yeah it's not that inventive to think the only substance suitable for cooling is potable water.
Most power stations use sea water for cooling using a closed loop freshwater unit and drawing heat away from it

Looks to me someone could make a Motza inventing a cooling system that can use sea water.

Adelaide does?

Myki was a stuff up from day one
London's oystercard has been great for 20yrs
There are options
