    That's the one Craig, the Jindalee radar system. 👍🇦🇺 Agreed about expenditure on the Nuclear subs. Not with flip-flop Trump in power. Why would we cancel those F35s? I hadn't heard. Truly. Some mates reckon the Chinese ones are better. !? How much? 😆 Do they give Flybuys? 🚀🛩 free software and...

    RIDDLES/BRAIN TEASERS 2

    Sorry to befuddle so, I taught Senior Probability Maths with Calculus and Physics intertwined. My clockwork mind often considers the minutiae of the life spans of things. For example five of my 30yo clothes pegs still work fine from a big pack from way back. A bit like radioactive decaying...

    I saw our hi tech autonomous sub on telly and on line and was highly impressed. Likewise our world class radar systems and big n deadly AI flying drones. We sure punch above our weight which is typical of the Australian character. Oy, Oy, Oy!

    On another topic Craig, Labor is toying with the idea of a property tax. They'll lose my vote is they keep pushing that highly contentious barrow. They're worried about our one trillion dollar deficit. Too much fiddling! Negative gearing is in their sights too. I also recently learned that...

    Agreed a fire "deep" in a cave would most probaby not be detected with Thermal imaging. Hot air does rise and I'm thinking a fire just inside a cave might give him away ? Such grief and sadness is permeating the Vic Police force and others, my heart goes out to them. I just read the Police are...

    Both my daughters and their families live in the Eastern states along with my brother, sister, nephew and niece... I much prefer my West Coast home, especially the quiet area I live in.

    Not much for me on Fathers' Day Craig with my two daughters on the other side of Australia. They phoned and we talked a while which was nice. In fact, most of FD I spent replacing a dunny seat one of my pool mates broke the day before. He's got a gamy leg🦵 and is a bit clumsy.

    As for e-bikes Thomas, they're all over my city and they're dangerous for riders and pedestrians. Deaths too. Many e-bike riders here ignore the rules like wearing helmets, not riding down main roads nor freeways, not sticking to their speed limits, ... Some idiots tweak their motors so can...

    Doing a push bike ride one day about 2 years ago I saw a fellow changing a flat tyre. Going home he was still there so I peddled over. The young man was really stuggling confessing he didn't know what he was doing. Having time to kill I took him through the process getting him to do most of the...

    RIDDLES/BRAIN TEASERS 2

    Off on a side track, here's a puzzle I've been observing casually and considering for some years. Do some things last longer when used regularly than not? I'm thinking appliances, locks, mind, body, ..., maybe not sheets! 😄 My 40plus yo corded B&D drill still works flawlessly. 💪 I tried a...

    There's a great Media channel on-line and free streaming on a smart TV called "Meidas Touch" that is half satirical showing mostly Trump's daily gaffs. From Wiki: MeidasTouch is an American progressive media company. The network describes itself as doing "pro-democracy" journalism. It's worth...

    It was always going to be hard to track down an experienced bushman like Freeman. Would thermal imaging show heat escaping from wherever he is hidden if he had a fire going? Cold baked beans are not nice. I'll leave that up to our savvy Police, and wishing them well. ❤️
