Chronicles of a stable genius - all the biggliest stuff

[tsf]

I heard once and it's still true today, if the US didn't speak English they'd be considered a 3rd world country.

I watch a bit of that lady debunking these wellness people. It's a real eye opener when she lays out why they're wrong with straight facts and science. And the science is complicated. (Who's science I hear Loopy ask). But anyway, the problem is she has a couple of hundred thousand followers and meanwhile you have chiropractors scaring the shit out of pregnant women saying vitamin K shots are dangerous and they have millions of followers.

Or crapping on about how formula for babies is terrible. Shaming these poor women and making them feel horribly guilty who, for some reason or another, can't breastfeed.

The world's gone fucking nuts.

If you're interested just watch a few. It really gives you an base understanding of how much terrific science is going on underneath all the scaremongering.

My ex actually did her PHD on the wellness industry/yoga and crossover with US conservatives/far right. It's super interesting...it's not surprising that a lot of drug addicts, or reformed drug addicts and the religious gravitate towards all this now.

tells you all you need to know about the ABC

Got to say
Gave up on the ABC long ago - pathetic tax payer dollars wasted that could go on things in need and better use right now and ahead.

Yes and no.

This is the beginning of battery tech not the end. The day they bring out a solid state battery or some other type that can go a 1000ks, recharges in 10 minutes and it's a affordable it's all over for the ICE.

Computers were the size of houses once. Now they sit in your pocket. It's only a matter of time.

Imagine this. Drive your car to work, charge it off the panels at work for next to nothing, drive it home and run the house off the car during peak hours and then drive it back to work. (All for nothing or close to it.) A tesla car has the equivalent of 4 tesla house batteries in it. (My house generated 50kw yesterday and we used 4kw. I've only got a 12KW system. If only house batteries were cheaper, I'd buy one tomorrow.)

I can't wait to stick my middle finger up to all these these filthy, money hungry oil countries that have us over a barrel (no pun intended.). Their end can't come soon enough. It's weird that people actually don't want energy independence. (Not you.)

One big war over there and we are truly fucked. Australia has 2 weeks petrol reserve. That's 2 weeks. If you thought the run on supermarkets was bad when the lockdowns started imagine if petrol went to $4 / litre overnight and trucks couldn't deliver food as the reserves dwindled. Absolute chaos.

As much as I love cars, you're right. As soon as electricity/battery capability is good enough for anything I need to do (and of course affordability of a new electric car), I'll be jumping all over it.

Mate if you're writing off that story based on your prejudices towards the ABC without even giving it a go that's pretty poor. That story is not a political hit job with an axe to grind. It's a story about how a bunch of American politicians tried to overturn the the voters in their states. A whole bunch of politicians that are now either in court or have been convicted of conspiracy and election fraud by the courts in America. Courts with Republican and democrat appointed judges.

You can argue opinions all day but facts are facts. It's all set out in the story and writing it off because 'pathetic tax dollars wasted' is a bit ignorant. Watch the story and then argue the point. (Which you couldn't do because it was an open and shut case in any case.) There's ignorance which is forgivable and then there's wilful ignorance which isn't.

Just speaking to a bloke who hired one last week. Has a diesel pajero and loves it but he was just raving about it. Was $10 more to hire for the day and provided he returned it with 30% charge he didn't have to pay to recharge it.

He reckons he's buying one.

I can't wait for the day we can tell the middle east to jam it. Cunce have jammed the price of juice in my parts to almost $2 / litre. Fuck them all.

(Not only free to charge if you have solar, almost no servicing costs. There's $5000 a year saving in petrol and probably another $1500 in services a year you don't need.)

I actually know a guy that made a doco on the one of the pioneers of all this in the clinton/trump election. Basically short story is an adolescent in a village in Macedonia realised that he could get heaps of clicks from US with batshit crazy qanon type stories. He ended up basically hiring the entire village and even had his teachers working for him running those bot farm. His motivation wasn't as much political as just making heaps of money, which he did.

Anyway, in the end, the company that owned the rights to the doco, was bought out and the new owners forbid the project from being completed. They couldn't even have ownership of their own footage to continue making. Was something like 80% or more complete. A lot of money also went into making it.

I don't think it was conspiracy to silence them, but it certainly sucks.

Yeah, my main thing is I will need to travel trurally without much of a stop at least a few times a year. Seems some models may just about do it now, but really not wanting to buy Tesla limits these options.. not really much options on my route from research at the moment.

Am probably ready for a new car soon, so looking to bridge the gap with a hybrid, and a Toyota Rav4 is looking the goods for me (using kinetic energy recovery, rather than plug-in hybrid)

You really are ignorant.

Watch it and then comment. Don't watch it then I have nothing to say to you. I'd rather be naive than pig ignorant. Something you seem happily willing to admit to.

Yeah they're not quite there yet. (But they will be.)

I have a diesel challenger because I camp and fish and tow a boat and take it onto the beach to launch it. My wife drives 5km to work each day and back and then gets the groceries every now and again. Her next car will definitely be electric.

It's going to be 2 types of cars for quite a while yet.

Some really interesting stuff coming to the market in the solid state space. Will be a game changer if they can scale up. (Toyota and VW both plan to offer them in the next couple of years.)

I know all about the weaponisation of the court system over there and we're likely to see a repeat of it after the 2024 election.
What I find ironic is the ABC are a foreign government funded media organisation attempting to influence the outcome of the US presidential election.

'Weaponisation'....oooh, is that what 'your people' say? Does that include republican appointed judges? Are they 'deep state' actors too?

And what a laughable second statement. Yeah a little known podcast series on the Australian ABC is going to turn the American election because it's spitting out publicly available facts. Yeah right.

You are a flog.

Don't worry, Trump is going to win in any case. There'll be a purge and it'll all be good.

I didn’t read or hear the link but my prejudice towards abc goes back quite a while over their one eyed view over many many topics and not allowing any other side have their piece incl their biased audience hence washing my hands over their media.
As for polllies doing the wrong as pointed out that’s been going on for yonks as you well know also.
I agree it stinks to the bottom of the barrel we the people all over the world have been lied to forever and a day USA is just one.
Hence why I even sit on the fence re this election - both sides stink !
Worse either in will effect us rightly and wrongly I don’t see either are appropriate to lead their country in this day and the knock off effects for us and other parts of the world is concerning.
Hence even reading it won’t change a thing but make you sicker.

Once the carpark tilts in time 50% to EV those savings will be decreased big time.
Where are Govs going recover all that lost revenue tax’s - sure maybe on other later new sources or services but don’t think solar and battery charging is going to stay as low cost as it is during the infancy stages.

At your noob level of understanding (tier 0.1 of 100 tiers) you're naïve to the fact the 'republican' appointed judges are a mix of RINOs/Neoconservatives and donor class representatives.

The ABC podcast appears on Youtube which is on the internet which is international. There are also Americans which reside in Australia whom are eligible to vote in the US elections.

Everything you accuse 'Trump the dictator' of going to do has actually been done by the Democrats. The Democrats imprisoned their political opponents and are still attempting to imprison Trump. Trump is not currently president, so how did that dictatorship go? The Democrats are masters at projection of their own crimes onto their adversaries.

 

[Beretta]

Joe Biden has called all Trump supporters as 'Garbage' in his latest interview, now the left is scrambling to save face.

it's the equivalent of scoring an own goal.

Will definitely trust Toyota a lot with this. One of the few manufacturers from racing categories (from what I've seen) offer a regenerative system. Motor racing (outside of F1 at least) always used to be about "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday", and Toyota's tech is a big, big win.
