Amen! Tailgating, running red lights, impatience and generally aggressive driving is rife. Riding my bike on the shared use paths seems incredibly calm in comparison.

oh yeah, been there done that. Here in Aus we had 2 months of appalling air quality during the massive bushfires. Terrible time. You have my sympathy FWIW.

no idea. Seeing as most resorts near beaches have swimming pools it seems people like to swim in a pool while watching the sea?

Richard Marles refuses to countenance changing from the disastrous AUKUS sub plan because of the danger of having no subs … so no change there.
The US cannot build enough subs for themselves let alone for us. We’ll get a loaner refurb with miles on the clock, some bog in the bumps and a dodgy park brake.

He died right there, I got the pearl from his snout
A puff of gray smoke, the tongue of a cloud
He rotted in the sand and all that they found was his boots on the ground
Boots on the ground, boots on the ground
All that they found was his boots on the ground, boots on the ground

Cut you at the ankles and they throw that ass away
Boots on the ground
Cold and hot as Satan's hoof
Spinning on the world, I'm hiding on a roof
I kill a brown man I never ass knew
Choked on spit and then he turned blue
He spattered black blood, he rolled Fin out

Well, something goеs tink when the cardrige is spent
Where do you think all your cartilage went?
Boots on the ground, boots on the ground
Now who the hell are these federal pricks?
Hiding in the Senate like a bloated-ass tick
Air-conditioned fuckstick loafers
Sittin' in a room full of army posters
A coal to a diamond, a vote into law
They campaign up all the blood they can draw
Mold your world, a soldier's just clay
How much does every soldier weigh?

Born shiny bullets in an army of ants
Blow that horn, we sleep in our pants
Big titties, big titties
Well we holler and we burn down cities
Boots on the ground, boots on the ground
Shootin' up the town by stayin' in the holе 'til Jimmy Hoffa is found
With my boots on the ground

Big legs dangle from a helicopter hole
Big chug rhythm, gotta be now ho!
Brown, mean and young, dumb and full of cum
What can you use a Marine for?
This is a fucking ass machine gun war
With your boots on the ground, boots on the ground
Boots on the ground, boots on the ground
We trim your hedges, we fight your wars
Wait in the trenches and we're fucked 'til we're sore
With boots on the ground, boots on the ground

remember when Bob McMullan transferred from Senate to Canberra lower house seat and then spent all his time being chief strategist because he could take being elected for granted?

Our society and economy is fragile AF if this level of change in fuel prices produces this outcome.
We need to wean ourselves off this accursed stuff ASAP. For the climate and our own resilience.

In the interests of getting more folks into EVs: we're a month or so into EV ownership and it is brilliant.
Driving experience is FAR superior. More power and torque. More responsive and at any speed.
One pedal driving means I almost never need to use the brakes.
Regen makes it way more efficient. Typically 30% of energy is recovered in round town driving.
