Hmm, well no one said it was the chemical symbol…. Perhaps the first two letters makes more sense for the average oats eater? Personally I’m a fan of Fe. Only loses its magnetic attraction at 770C.

The driver monitoring ensures you are not messing around. I have the old version of FSD, once enabled the cabin camera, steering well torque sensor, seat sensor ensure that you are paying attention. If not autopilot is disabled for the drive. If you continue to misbehave, disabled for weeks.

Good stuff with your video. You captured 50% of the YouTube market for FSD followers willing to stay up past midnight.

The land of the free!
Where you can do your own plumbing legally.
Other rights, less so.
I do my own plumbing in Australia but have to be careful whom I tell….

Individuals in teams inside commonwealth agencies can now live anywhere in Australia, and were employed that way. Making them all work in an office, might mean seven different offices. Hardly a team building exercise. Now that the egg has been whisked, it’s not going back the way it was.

Clearly trump is a clairvoyant as well as a master economist.

Trump’s tariffs: the full list US president Donald Trump yesterday produced a chart of all the new tariffs he was announcing, affecting trade with countries across the world. Here is the list as he displayed it

A theory.
Trump's tariff country list is not based on countries. It's based on top-level domain names.
Examples of non-countries on the tariff list:
.hm Heard Island and McDonald Islands
.cc Cocos (Keeling) Islands
.nf Norfolk Island
.io British Indian Ocean Territory

The uninhabited Heard Island is even funnier. Trump is playing tough!

Once you get the hang of it you might think surface mount is easier the replace than through hole.
Don’t forget to use flux.

The trick is to use a washing machine with high RPM spin cycle. Like 1800 RPM. Less water remaining, dries faster in the sun.

A loan of a large camping battery could work. Enough power to allow the vehicle to drive on and off a trailer using its own motor.

The stick is connected to an electronic switch that talks to the Nissan Leaf motor (I believe). EV’s still need a reverse!

We drove past Oberon coming back from Katomba to Canberra on Monday after a great weekend at a music festival. Was a lovely drive. Definitely a more fun drive and scenic than the Hume. Had a picnic lunch at Bummaroo Ford campground.

It’s entirely the state govt of NSW that is to blame. ACT govt took the initiative to create reverse auctions for renewal energy contracts years ago. We’ve been pay much less for electricity than NSW ever since. The irony is that β€˜our’ solar and wind farms are pretty much all located in NSW.

I was at the show on Sunday, and it was buzzing. There must have been 1,000 test drives undertaken over the three days. That is definitely going to be converted into EV sales.

Live in CBR, it gets hot but rarely humid. I do prefer winter over summer… Spring and autumn are awesome.

Why be misleading? There are plenty of negative points you could come up with without needing to lie.
Tesla do manufacture 4680 cells in-house, but not the majority of cells used.
Tesla is attempting to scale in-house production.

I sold all my stock at $390. I’m happy to take the blame.

I made my grandma an Australian bi-centennial logo shaped clock in 1988. Laminated from two types of timber. I didn’t have a digital camera back then, so no evidence.
Besides you have no facial hair, you’re still very young.

How about visiting some op-shops and finding some decent black tie attire? You’re going to need it again, you’re still young.
