I enjoy searching out information for myself. I don't think i'd enjoy having it spoon-fed to me, as if I am a mewling infant.

Who did Gallup poll? Republicans?

I usually work things out for myself, maybe some help from Wikipedia. Both my mother and father died in full possession of their faculties, IMO genes are on my side. I regard mental exercise as important as physical exercise, perhaps BARD might make me lazy.

Perhaps the humor was too laid-back and dry for you. Everyone's taste is different. We come from different generations. My father loved Roy Rene Mo, whom you may not have heard of. I agree Paul Hogan was funny, Steve Vizard did not tickle my funny bone. Seinfeld is as funny as crutches, humor with a sneer. The drummer can't have been all that funny if you can't remember his name.

Agree. "Malcolm" and "Kenny" are two of the funniest Australian films ever made. On the odd occasion I have shown a video of them to Americans or Canadians, they are quite incapable of understanding the humor. They usually sit with their mouths open.

6 here is 8 in Oz.

Whether it works depends on how good the presentation is, and how many views and subscribers you get. IMO that's the measure of success. Over the last two years, I made several series of videos I posted on Youtube. About 30 on golf, 8 on kitchen/food tips, 6 on elderly health issues and fixes. The equipment was very basic, a 200 baht tripod bought on Lazada, and my elderly smartphone for video and voiceover recording. I used free online editing software to edit the videos, and GNU image manipulation for photo labelling. I have 280 subscribers, which is a piddling amount in the YouTube environment. My success with viewers was varied. I maxed out at about 35 viewers with the elderly health series, perhaps the topic is too confronting. OTOH, I got 32,000 viewers on a video I made of one professional golfer. YouTube won't start commercializing a video unless the channel is producing a much bigger list of subscribers and audience. I started making the videos as a creative exercise to ward off boredom during the pandemic, and did not expect to make money. I taught myself how to do video compilation and editing. I suggest you start with the same expectation, and not spend too much on equipment. You never know what is going to click with viewers on Youtube. There is one guy on Youtube called Mr. Beast, who has 50 million viewers. His shtick is outlandish challenges, such as fighting The Rock for $100,000. Park your brain cells at the door when watching. Good luck.

Now you are posting like a reasonable person. Stay well.

I already said I was wrong, based on the post by msbkk.

You prefer the universe of alternative facts? I have no problem with acknowledging the virtues of EV's, it's virtue-signalling morons, who won't admit the unresolved problems EV's have, who irritate me with their irrational posts. Here's an inconvenient truth for you. If you converted the entire passenger car and pickup fleet of Australia to EV's overnight, you would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a mere 8%. Why? Because most of the electricity recharging those EV's would be coming from fossil-fuel power stations.

Given the 7 day grace period, and the fact your report is pending with Immigration, IMO the probability of having problems with your extension is vanishingly small.

You may be right if the grease has molybdenum sulphide as an additive, as it has poor water resistance and becomes corrosive in combination with water. OTOH, lithium stearate based grease has excellent water resistance, Either grease is like a magnet to any dirt, coarse or fine. I put people on ignore when they are annoying trolls who post dishonestly. I don't if they argue with facts.

No.

That' what snorkels are for, to prevent hydrostatic locking if water gets into the combustion chambers. Putting a snorkel on an EV would be like putting an ashtray on a Harley. The bearings were not affected by water, it's the suspended solids ( mud ) in the water which does the damage.

Yes I do. Expired, but still in use.

I can still say s-diphenylcarbazide and N-1 naphthylethylenediaminedihydrochloride without stammering, so i guess my understanding of chemistry is still working.

I can't say I have driven one, just an electric scooter. Which was fun. Ignorance is when a poster refuses to accept basic science and clear visual evidence of how that science works. Shooting the messenger is so much easier.

Er - LFP is an anagram for Lithium Ferro Phosphate, so there is still lithium in the mix.

ICE's don't have an IP rating. They don't need them. Who ever heard of an ICE catching fire after driving through water?

That's great if you live in Canada.

I'll bet, like the other video, you did not watch more than a single minute or two of the video. The video evidence of the ferocity of an EV battery fire with several vehicles is on display. The chemistry which is the foundation of such intense conflagrations is explained in quite clear terms a layman can understand. ICE's do not generate fires that cannot be extinguished. They also don't generate hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen fluoride from a fuel tank fire. EV's do. EV fires have their own fuel AND oxygen, hence the only viable strategy for firefighters is to let them burn themselves out. That doesn't work too well in an enclosed environment such as a ship, or underground car park. Goethe once said against stupidity the gods themselves strive in vain. It's a statement which proves itself on a daily basis on ASEAN.

This video explains why EV's are a high fire risk. And why ICE's with a higher frequency of car fires are a much lower risk proposition in terms of potential damage. I am wondering when insurance companies are going to realize this risk, and inflate premiums for EV's accordingly. Some of the footage shown in the video makes me wonder how safe EV owners are in their houses, when they are using home chargers. I suggest you watch right through with an open mind.

Yes.

At least you'd be going out with a bang, not a whimper.
