  1. Agent provocateur. The guy in the picture looks like he is almost out of time anyway. My apologies if you got someone to take your photo.
  2. Why? I use deodorant after showering in the morning. I would have thought it's preferable to avoid being smelly during the day. In any case, people do a lot of farting while they sleep, which tends to defeat the purpose of deodorant.
  3. My question was entirely appropriate to someone who is either dyslexic, or chooses to read what only suits them. If you consider my post is abusive, use the report function. I also stated currently hydrogen is mostly made from cracking methane, restating that in another form in your post is hardly original. Lithium is not abundant in seawater in terms of concentration, at 0.17 mg/L. One would have to process 5800 tonnes of seawater to obtain just 1 kg of lithium, assuming a process operating at 100% efficiency. The average EV battery requires about 8 kg of lithium. A Tesla Model S needs over 60 kg. I won't waste my time any further. Goodbye.
  4. Can't you read? I said "using renewable solar or wind power". In case you have not noticed, Australia gets a lot of sunshine, wind and even tidal power. 15 metre tides anywhere north of Roebourne. A lot of hydrogen currently is produced by cracking methane, which I agree for fuelling an ICE is a pointless exercise. Just as pointless as recharging an EV from a fossil fuel power station, in terms of environmental sustainability. I also said the mines can't produce enough to meet lithium demand. Battery factories and refiners are another part of the bottleneck. I did forget nickel as another element in short supply.
  5. Under what rules would he not have portability? Is this the 2 year BS?
  6. At my age, I am nowhere near any of those numbers, not that it worries me. As another poster and one of my friends said, I'd rather have a good dump. When I do get it on, I like my GF to enjoy the sex too. She didn't when we first met, it took patience on my part. If I had your attitude to sex, I would save myself a lot of time and money by buying a rubber doll at an adult store.
  7. Generate the hydrogen by electrolysis of water, using renewable solar or wind power. Convert the hydrogen to ammonia, transport to anywhere in the world with better outcomes than transporting fossil fuels. Reconstitute as hydrogen for distribution. The technology is already there, it is a matter of scaling it up with capital investment. The Chinese are very interested in what's coming out of Australian research. It's the ideal answer to their major pollution problems. You may be right, EV's win out. However, you are missing a couple of reasonably important points. The first - it takes very little adaptation to convert an ICE to being fuelled by hydrogen. We are already doing it with LPG and CNG. There's a lot of sunk cost in ICE factories, car makers would be delighted to extend plant life. The second - EV supply has a major bottleneck. Manufacturers simply can't get enough lithium, cobalt, manganese, neodymium and praseodymium to meet current EV demand, let alone future requirements. For lithium alone, mine production has to be about ten times what it is now. "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" ( John Maynard Keynes )
  8. You may be right. OTOH, I doubt whether you would be claiming 160 either. I like the woman I am with to enjoy the sex too, what is creepy about that?
  9. Hydrogen was used to make the Hindenburg lighter than air, not as a fuel for propulsion. As a fuel, hydrogen is superior to EV's for environmental sustainability, as most EV's still derive their recharge electricity from fossil fuel generators. The options for hydrogen storage include as liquefied, as a metal hydride, or as ammonia, the most energy-dense hydride. CSIRO researchers already have the membrane technology for reforming ammonia to hydrogen at pilot plant stage. I daresay it will be safer than 60KWh packed into a battery. What could possibly go wrong? Your post.
  10. IMO Centrelink should not have stopped your pension when you left Australia, unless there are other factors involved apart from failing to notify them when you left. As Robodebt has demonstrated, Centrelink is quite capable of illegality. I would suggest phoning their international line before coming back to ask them to explain your options. https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/phone-us?context=64107#international It may also be worthwhile to contact your Federal MP if you are not satisfied with their response. AFAIK the international arm is quite helpful. I would not anticipate any difficulty in having your pension reinstated once you have returned.
  11. Those guys create too many expectations....
  12. I guess I touched a nerve, then.
  13. Is your GF as satisfied with the sex as you are?
  14. I can see where this is going. Bignok's next thread will be about how many of those 160 times resulted in a female orgasm ( all of them, of course ), followed by suggestions from other posters about how many were faked ( all of them, of course )
  15. Latex is extremely important. Condoms are made from latex. If it was not for latex, we would have STD's in every household, along with over-population. Oh wait, we have that already.
  16. I guess people over 80 can't have any sex, according to the data in the OP.
  17. I understand golf is a sport recommended by doctors for cardiac patients.
  18. Heaven forbid I should deprive you of the opportunity to commence another thread. Have at it.
  19. I understand food in the Philippines is atrocious, and there is a lot more violent crime. On the plus side, visas are easier. Swings and roundabouts.
  20. I am claiming 60 KWh is a lot of energy, irrespective of which battery chemistry it is stored in.
  21. Really. You are as full of questions as a butcher's dog is full of meat. I pronounce the word aluminium just like I pronounce about 20 other elements of the periodic table, starting with lithium. The "i" is spoken. I recommend said element to you as a medication. Most of my golfing successes of yore came from keeping the ball straight and in play at all times. There was a study done many years ago comparing professional golfers with captains of industry. Most of the golfers lived well into their eighties and nineties, hale and hearty. Most of the industry executives died insane, committed suicide, or became destitute.
  22. Sadly, UbonJoe passed away a few months ago. He was one of ASEAN's treasures, very difficult for anyone else to fill his shoes. Respect, and RIP.
  23. IIRC Tesla is failing quite dismally at designing an EV semi-trailer. Not a huge surprise, one has to cart around as much battery as payload.
  24. The existing data says there are two intense shipboard fires with two cargoes of mixed EV/ICE vehicles. Now show me an example of an intense shipboard fire involving a cargo of ICE vehicles alone. QED.
