Maybe we should shut down immigration of white people to Australia until we can figure out what makes them do this?

We spent the morning doing car and compartment fires for some NSW Police forensic trainees. I hope they got as much out of it as I did - it’s always good to don the BA and get some practice in.

Imagine driving around in a car that has explosions going off thousands of times a minute!

We borrowed my MILs AMG GL530 while waiting for the 2nd EV to arrive. It has 60+ buttons and dials within reach of the driver, all backlit. I prefer my Model 3 - all the controls I use regularly are at my fingertips, others out of the way. More relaxing to drive, especially at night.

We did two years of charging a Model 3 this way. We only upgraded because the Dolphin came with a free wall charger.

Could be. I haven't read it yet (it's sitting on the bench at home) but my sister says the latest book has reference to Pierce in it.

9 hrs of offpeak electricity on 10 amps will be more than enough for 60kms (for most modern EVs).

I came here to post this. I love this one so much I used to have a hard copy printed and in the front of my notebook for work.

I was having this argument with my sister last night. To me, someone like Mark Addy would have been a better actor.

Also, high density housing close to work and services reduces car use. Instead, companies sell us the 'dream' of big house, big backyards and big cars.

Its important that we remember that every one of those piles of rubble was previous to someone: their home, business, workplace, school.

Same here. My view is that if my pets aren’t in heaven, then frankly heaven sounds like crap to me. I’ll go where they have gone.

And making delivery of aid conditional on Hamas' acceptance of the deal is the definition of collective punishment.

Years ago, I was out walking in Nth Sydney and saw one of those gentrified terraces where the front room had been converted to a garage with a turntable.

Luckily for me, I have the direct number for Comcen in Canberra (they receive ambulance and fire calls). When I've needed them, I just call direct and identify myself.

Don’t mistake truth for hate, prime minister Anthony Albanese says Palestinian children are taught to hate. My daughter’s first trip home proves otherwise.

"If Palestinian children sound angry, it is because they have seen the world at its cruellest before they have had the chance to live freely. If they speak of injustice, it is because it is their reality. Don’t mistake truth for hate, @albomp.bsky.social."

As a firefighter, it's very strange to see emergency workers not engaging in the very task they are trained for.

Apparently it was this night in England. Yep, the explanation was leaves on a track. I could never understand how the country that invented trains and talks incessantly about bad weather can’t figure out how the two can work together.

Imagine achieving your childhood dream of joining the forces only to end up beating the drum at the start of Raiders home games.
