  1. A five-vehicle crash and at least two of the drivers were drunk. That's a crazy dangerous night.

  5. 5:35 With respect to Norway's coastline, Slartibartfast, when designing it, probably didn't expect it to be one of the longest coastlines in the world. He just had a thing about fjords.

  7. Your stories about the 'air bubble in the veins' thing reminded me of when I worked in seismic oil search in the late 70s. The vibrator trucks (used to send sound waves into the earth) ran an extremely high PSI hydraulic system and we were always warned never to put our hands anywhere near the hydraulic lines when they were running. Tales were told of mechanics that received blood poisoning from pinhole leaks that forced oil under the skin as they were running their hand along the hoses. I'm unsure if the tales were true, but I erred on the side of caution.

  8. My father worked in seismic oil search in Papua-New Guinea in the early 70s. Mostly miles from any village on the upper reaches of some of the big rivers in PNG. In one area, he was the boss of over 400 people, mostly local natives. At one point he fired a dozen workers who were caught drunk and sleeping at a remote camp, away from the main supply/base camp. The locals took offense to this and 200 men, dressed to kill, turned up at his cabin/longhouse at base camp. They demanded he come down the stairs and face retribution. Then his 'houseboy', who was a 60+ year old senior of the tribe came up behind him (dad was sitting at the top of the steps). He had elephantitis in one leg, and dad looked after him well. He told the men that the people deserved to be fired, and they should all go away and leave the boss alone. And they left. He was a senior chieftain/elder of the local area. Dad may well have been butchered if not for that old man.

  9. That was interesting, and I'm glad you tempered the views of negative extremists with some balanced people (or person). What should be of note is the most extreme views are from old farts. Sadly, those old farts taught their children.

  12. I can buy 100 grams of loose tobacco for 25 bucks from a local chop chop shop. If I want to buy that and pay the govt excise from a legal tobacco shop, it will cost me about $250. Where do you think I'm going to buy my tobacco from. I feel sorry for legitimate tobacco retailers, but they should be directing their anger at the extortionist tactics of the government. Halve the excise (at a minimum) and I think you'll find people like me will return to legitimate retailers.

  13. I've dabbled with LSD for around forty years now. Certainly not regularly but when the opportunities arose. Other than my first time (that was a rollercoaster of fun) I've always gone into the experience being fully aware of what was happening to my brain. I found it easier to control any onset of paranoia or other negative emotions. I'm really happy that LSD isn't addictive. If it was, I'd be wandering around in a rainforest following rainbow pixies, with old-school Pink Floyd playing in my head, lost in a never-ending haze of hallucinations.

  14. Back in the day, I worked with a company that had a basic ad blocker. It involved editing the hosts file so that when the browser called an ad server, it would redirect to a folder on your computer with presized placeholder images that would load rather than remote ads. It was a community effort and worked well for a while.

  15. I'm nearly 61. I'd organise myself to head over there and become a station hand to support these people if they asked.

  16. GOP (from an Australian perspective). " We're going to control how you learn, think, and breed because FREEDOM!" Is that about right?

  17. This is uncomfortable to watch. She's obviously dealing with some serious life issues.
    177
  18. Here's something weird: I'm 58, and when I started school I was taught that 'Christopher Columbus' sailed West from Europe to prove the earth wasn't flat. I still remember imagining as my teacher told the story, of ships tipping off the edge of the world, and thinking how stupid people were in ancient (for me) history. A few years later, Apollo 11 happened and we saw pictures of the earth from space. Many years later I learned that the Columbus stories were bunkum and that people centuries before his time knew the earth was a globe. History repeats itself. Today there are a lot of people who believe the earth is flat. Stupid never disappears.

  19. As a kid, I fell in love with the Countach. In my 40s and 50s, I fell in love with the Aventador. I even touched one once, and then got chastised by the showroom concierge for touching it...This video is so satisfying.
    173
  20. That happened last time.
    161
  21. There is a story behind this clip. It's actually an edit of the race. The driver, Samir, owned the car and had uploaded the original long video to his channel. Someone downloaded the video and edited it down, then uploaded it and it went viral. Samir and his co-driver complained and the uploader was arrested, but released soon after. Samir was really pissd off over the video.
    158
  22. It took him almost a day after the 'interview' to realize he had been duped? Umm, just admit that your entitled, inflated ego was the ONLY reason you were duped. Given the set-up, and given that it was a teleprompter he was reading from, he should have realized as soon as those words came up. He is supposed to be intelligent. But then, he is a racist and he's arguably incited violence against former Pres. Obama and "Black Lives Matter Punks". But yeah, inflated self-importance, huge egos and greed will make a man blind.
    152
  23. I once left my wallet on the roof of my car at a shopping centre. I got home and realised what I'd done and was getting ready to retrace my steps to try and find my wallet. As I was about to leave, a gentleman came into the property asking for me. He'd found my wallet on the road and checked the license, then drove 5km to my place to return it. Bloody legend.
    146
  24. I'm pretty sure that two vehicles hitting each other at 50mph is still a 50mph collision. Something to do with physics that I read somewhere. I could be wrong though.

  25. One day you'll have new friends over for a barbeque and they'll see all the Aussie ephemera around the house, and they're going to ask, "why do you Aussies have such strong American accents?"

  27.  @signalsoldier28  I have to agree with your comment. Anyone who's lived in a city or been to an airport has used an elevator and has read the sign. And please, don't anyone try to warp this by saying, what about those that can't read. It is common knowledge that you don't use elevators if the building is on fire. That's why stairwells are made to be smoke and fireproof, so long as some idiot doesn't leave a door ajar so they can use the stairwell as a smoking room.

  29. As a victim of sexual abuse, I concur. Some of those who abused me were well respected, even famous in their fields/professions. Those around them knew they were predators, but ensured that conditions was well hidden from the general public.
    127
  30. 'How To Cook That' did an excellent PSA about this some time ago. Home made fractal burners are deadly tools if not treated with the greatest respect. Water and high voltage electricity are a dangerous combination.
    125
  31. I have a theory. From what we see of US politics, decisions seem to be made in favour of which company's lobbyist has the deepest pockets. So I'm thinking that chemical companies, including Monsanto, who I believe owns patents on most of the corn grown in the US, spend a lot to ensure food and health scientist's warnings about unhealthy food additives are ignored by politicians. Just a thought. We have similar problems here in Oz.
    112
  32. A commenter by the handle of @OnTourWithGerrit has said that the elevators at the airport now have sensors where they will operate but will only stop at floors and open the doors if that floor that has clear air. Great technology.

  33. Wake me up when all of the Trump cartels are in jail.

  34. Finally! Possibly my favourite Australian comedy series. The handshake shots always made me laugh. Yeah, you need to watch more of Russel. Any of them/all of them are funny. Try and find the one where he met the hippies in the bush and they fed him some 'cookies'.
    104
  35. I don't think I've seen a harder burn in the past 30 odd years. Pure Gold. He destroyed him with facts and a cheeky challenge that he knew the Reps wouldn't follow through with. This is peak ownership.

  36. This is no different from any other religion. They cater to people who are rebels and don't want to join a mainstream church but need the community of fellowship that a mainstream church delivers. Standard 'fear of the unknown so need to believe there is some higher being that gives us life after death' scenario. The usual magic man in the sky thing. The only difference is the props are a little darker theatrically. These guys win the Goth prize, but the Roman Catholics win the Drag Queen category hands down.

  37. Thank you man. You are one of the reasons I appreciate YouTube. Not the Company itself, but the wealth of real information about social issues provided by people like you.

  38. I'm happy you are doing videos about other countries. It helps us all learn more about our friends around the world.

  39. Rain on a tin roof, mate. A beautiful sound. These two are about 2.5 metres, maybe 7 feet? And thanks buddy. I thought people would like this. The one at the bottom that looked at me I think is the male that claims this territory, and the female. I feel so privileged to have watched and recorded this for over 40 minutes.
    85
  40. The EU is far more complex than I thought! This was educational and enlightening. I'm going to the original video to watch because it deserves more views. Thanks, Ian. I probably wouldn't have seen this if not for your reaction.

  41. Back in the 90s, there was a report of a 'UFO' close to a place where I lived. It was described almost exactly as the shape of the RQ-180. It apparently descended, hovered for a while, and then flew off. This was reported at coastal Central Queensland, Australia.
    81
  42. They took four family members , two of which are toddlers born here in Australia, from their home in a town in Queensland and sent them to Christmas Island, where they have remained and will remain indefinitely. This arrest is not right, but it's also not abnormal for allegedly corrupt politicians to order.

  46. Hey, Ian. The one thing I've always been really disgusted within American Culture is (besides paying for health care) is the fact that people who work in the service industry have to rely on tips to survive. I find that very close to slave labour. To have to rely on your 'service level' and compete with your work colleagues to make enough money to live is just shameful. A minimum wage of five bucks or whatever is deplorable. I remember a Uni lecturer who was a Californian telling me in the late 90s how people in the US can have full-time employment, yet be homeless because they have to choose between rent and food/transport/healthcare. A country and its government should look after its people, not leave them to their own devices.
    66
  47. What concerns me is that very little has been said about the victims other than sensationalising their pasts. If I was living in Snowtown, I'd advocate for a memorial to the victims to be constructed after demolishing the building.
    63
  48. Hey mate. I live a bit North of Brisbane in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. I live in a rooftop tent on a mate's property, so I'm keeping a close watch on this. I'll probably pull the tent down tomorrow morning. I feel sad for my daughter though. She came down for the Greenday concert on the Gold Coast, but it's been cancelled, and now they're stuck there, waiting for the cyclone to hit. The south side of cyclones carry the most damaging weather, so we may dodge the bullet if it doesn't push north.

  49. 11:20 I've always been amazed at the detail in a well cared for daguerreotype image. Just beautiful. I've been a keen photographer for many years and have a basic knowledge of the history of the craft. I'm really enjoying your history lesson, though. Thank you.

  50. 9:50 Cassowary and that was a BIG Apple. Fun Fact: Cassowaries and Flying Foxes are two of the most important animals for rainforest survival. They both spread seeds far and wide to help maintain biodiversity and longevity.

  51. Shares in Arnott's has had a boost lately. I am comfortable that you have a larger Tim Tam collection than anyone in the US and arguably in Australia and the world.

  52. As an Aussie, I can't fathom how the US rejected this man as a presidential nominee. Possibly the most eligible person for the hib. A man for the people, not industry or the rich.

  53. 1: Got hit by a bastard paralysis tick about 2 months ago. I have a small lump of subcutaneous scar tissue from it. I removed it thinking it was a regular tick and left some mouthparts in the wound. Got them out last week. 2: I saw one in rocks when I was about 12-years old. That colour is correct, Ian. They flare brilliant Blue rings when in defensive mode. Deadly bastards. 3: Stingy bastards. 4: Soldier Beetles. Bitey, stinky bastards. 5: I've seen similar on a property I lived on in Central Queensland. Amazing, flying bastards. 6: Platypus. Cute, but still venemous bastards. 7: As kid living in Perth, we had a fibro fence with capping along the top. We had HUNDREDS of Redbacks living under the capping. I used to play with them and their webs. Scary bastards. 8: Lucky enough not to have stood on one of these bastards. But a mate found one in the rocks one day at Yeppoon. 9: I used to hunt stingrays with a spear up North. Easy pickings and good eating if cooked right. Tasty bastards. 10: I've had many encounters with wild dingoes (and wild dogs-feral dogs). Cunning bastards, but very cool. 11: Yeah, nah. F**k that. I also am wary of Northern Funnel webs. But these Sydney ones? If I lived there I wouldn't garden. Nasty bastards. 12: Living in the tropics and subtropics, Flying Foxes have been part of my existence. Smelly, noisy bastards :o). Trivia: I used to have a photo of my dad holding out the wings of a Flying Fox he'd shot (in the 60s). He was about 5'7 and had his arms almost fully stretched out, making the bat's wingspan over five feet. Oh, and they're actually quite cute. I've rescued a few from barbed wire fences. 13: Irukandji .Tiny, nasty bastards. Swim at your own risk in Summer/Wet season. 14: Oh, the Inland Taipan is an unlucky bastard. It's coastal cousin gives it a bad reputation. They are generally placid unless provoked or in breeding season. 15: Bull sharks are sneaky, aggro bastards. They swim right up into fresh water. There's video on YouTube of bull sharks in a lagoon/billabong just up the road from where I used to live. And yep, people swim in there. 16: Box Jellyfish. Refer to my description of the Irukandji for these stinging bastards. 17: Big bastards. But ya gotta love 'em. And finally, that narrator could not have been Australian. He didn't call one of those animals a bastard...oh, and his accent was waaaay off.

  56. This is from the Campdraught page, Ian: The rider (cuts out) one steer or heifer from the cattle in the camp and brings that beast to the front of the camp and block and turns that beast at least two or three times to prove to the judge that they have the beast under control. The rider then calls for the gates to be opened. The cut out is worth a total of 26 points. The rider then proceeds to draft (work) the beast around a figure of eight course in a larger arena. Generally, the course is set to the left and once the beast has gone around the left peg, it must then be drafted around a peg on the right. Once that is completed, the rider then guides the steer through the "gate" which is two pegs placed apart. Once gated, the Campdraft is complete and the rider can be awarded up to a total of 100 points. Points are awarded for horsemanship and control of the beast.... within set time limits (usually 45-47 seconds).
    56
  57. Excellent analysis and explanation. Thank you.

  58. Some years ago a school in a city I lived in had a program running where the kids that were reaching the age where they could get a Permit to Learn were shown graphic accident footage and interviews with families of young people killed due to speeding and other dangerous acts. They also watched interviews with kids that survived crashes. The kids in wheelchairs or with brain injuries. The program affected my daughter deeply and as a result is a very aware driver.
    55
  59. Flashback to mid-2000s. My soulmate and I were at a National park in Queensland. We're heading to a toilet block and see a man with his two kids, probably about four years old I guess. He's got a stick and is poking it at something. As we get closer we see he's poking the stick at a snake. Suddenly, the snake (an Eastern brown) lunges toward him. He immediately turns and runs, leaving his two screaming kids in the path of the snake. I make the decision to stand between the kids and the snake. Meanwhile, my soulmate absolutely destroys this bloke with choice words along the lines of how much of an idiot he is and how he just left his two kids to potentially die. I just stood there until the snake dropped from its attack stance and slithered off into the bush. Those two kids were terrified, and I reckon if not for us being there at the time, one of them may have been bitten, a long way from medical treatment.
    55
  60. Let me think about this and please, someone correct me...These two are reading from pre-prepared notes and a script? As in, they narrated what they'd discussed prior to the public hearing? This is certainly not an off-the-cuff response to unknown questions.

  61. Fun fact: The following advertisement appeared as full-page ads in many magazines some years ago. Mid 90s? An Apology Dear Motorists, Subaru Australia would like to apologise for the article titled 'The Handling Debate' published in a recent issue of AUTOCAR (UK). The contest unfairly pitted the two-wheel drive Porsche 911, BMW M3, Lotus Elise and Peugeot 306 GTi-6 against the All-Wheel Drive Subaru Impreza WRX. It was not so much the result that has embarrassed us, but the way in which one of the most respected and authoritative motor magazines went about damaging the reputation of the world's most prestigious car companies. It must have been heartbreaking for them to read that Autocar named the All-Wheel Drive Subaru 'The Ultimate Driver's Car' and called it 'one of the outstanding car designs of the decade.' Obviously Autocar were amazed by the acceleration off the line of the Subaru during the Traction Test. But did they really have to go on and on about it? 'Six and a half thousand revs, dump the clutch and away she goes. And there was nothing even the 911 could do to touch it.' Our hearts go out to all those rear-wheel drive Porsche owners who paid 5 times the price of the Subaru, only to come a distant second. As if they didn't have enough insecurities already! And it's hard not to feel for the poor BMW driver whose M3 clocked up an impressive 46/52mph in the Speed Corner Test, only to read '... that was nothing compared with the beautifully balanced Impreza through the bend. Result? A crushing 52mph in the wet, 58mph in the dry and the widest smile from our drivers all day.' Really, how could a two-wheel drive be expected to compete with that? But it wasn't until Autocar said '... so well balanced was the Subaru's basic handling and so well apportioned was the grip between the four driven wheels that... in the dry the Subaru was untouchable,' that the rumours and innuendo began to surface. For the record, we would like to state that every new Impreza, Forester, Outback and Liberty we sell does in fact contain the unfair advantage of Subaru All-Wheel Drive plus our unique flat-four boxer engine and summetrical drive line. Admittedly, it does make contests like this a little one-sided. So much so that All-Wheel drive vehicles have been banned from the world's major motor sport competitions like Formula One. Only the World Rally Championship allows us to demonstrate the full advantages of AWD. A championship, by the way, we've won for the past 3 years. Even Autocar admits 'a properly sorted All-Wheel drive car like the Impreza will blitz any two-wheel drive rival in virtually any objective handling contest. That's a truly astonishing result given the quality of the rest of the field.' You see, there was nothing they could do. In the end, the only thing we couldn't handle was all the attention. 'There was one very clear winner in this contet. The Impreza was more composed, generally faster and markedly grippier than most of the competition in most of the tests.' Again, Subaru would like to apologise for any harm or distress this has caused any makers or owners of two-wheel-drive vehicles and outrageously expensive sports cars. The fact that our All-Wheel Drive vehicles start from $21,990 (and $39,990 for the Impreza WRX) must simply rub salt into the wound. For those looking for compensation, please visit your nearst Subaru Dealer. By experiencing All-Wheel Drive yourself, it should go some way to making the whole situation easier to handle. If you would like a full copy of the Autocar article in question, call Subaru on 1 800 642 454, or visit our website www.subaru.com.au. And remember, we don't write the articles, we just make the cars. Yours sincerly, Trevor Amery Managing Director Subaru Australia

  62. I think this case was doomed when the first reaction was, "Prosecute everyone!". The defensive walls and cover-ups by the accused corporations would go into full swing as soon as that was announced. In my humble opinion, the person/s who approved the mounting of a specifically 'household' space heater into a mobile carriage, as well as maintenance people who didn't examine hydraulic connectors properly are those responsible for this tragedy. They are the only two factors that caused this disaster. How could this have been prevented? The simplest way would have been to have portable space heaters designed for mobile use to be issued to conductors to use in the conductor's cabin while they are on duty in said cabin. The heater is returned to the base station at end of shift. Using this method of operation, the heater is always in sight of the conductor and the heater will not operate unless plugged in by the operator. It's an electric train. They can accommodate power outlets.

  63. My opinion, purely because of where I live (Australia) is that batoning is pointless. Our timber is in the main very brittle and very hard. For most of our timber, we can take a long branch of thinnish timber and snap it across a rock or over another log to break it into measured lengths. Most of our forest country is covered in leaf and bark litter, so kindling is no issue. Granted though, in the wet, batoning may be a good option. (EDIT) Most of our trees, eucalypts predominantly, drop branches. So we get a wide variety of timber thicknesses just laying on the ground. (EDIT2): I do enjoy your videos Lilly.

  64. A few days ago, I had a 'discussion' with someone in the wildcencias channel about this very subject. Back in the 70s when I was in oil search, one winter afternoon a crew member came into the camp with a snake draped over his shoulders. He was showing everyone the 'Black-headed python' he'd found outside the camp. I was a young snake geek back then and had to inform him that he was holding an Inland Taipan. And honestly, it was docile. Late afternoon out there gets cold fast. He said he found it out in the open. The thing with Inland taipans is they vary wildly in colour and shade. Quite often they have a dark to black head and nape and to the uninitiated, they could be mistaken for a Black-headed rock python.

  67. I'm a Ford fan. However, when I was a young teen, I got to ride in a modified A(X. This thing had a 308 with twin 750 Double-pumpers on top of a tunnel ram manifold and was freaking scary quick. Just awesome. The same bloke ( a neighbour) also owned an L34 Bathurst spec 'sleeper'. Oh, and my dad worked at as a senior mechanic at a major Holden dealer for a while, so he would bring home many of the second-hand trade-ins 'to test drive'. Statesmans, Devilles, Toranas etc. He brought home a Hot Pink GTR XU1 Bathurst model one day. Oh, maaaan.

  71. Comparisons between Australia and the US are very interesting. I've long held the belief that the US was influenced strongly by their war for independence history. Therefore, defence spending and the capitalisation and rampant promotion of gun rights were born from that history. White Aussies came from convict stock. Our Cultural capital (in Psychology terms) is completely different. I'll also state that the economics of the US Government and the arms industry, in my opinion, survive by ensuring that the US is involved in some sort of armed conflict. Please understand, I don't blame the majority of US citizens, I just feel that the US is culturally controlled by the perceived need to keep the economy going by producing arms and securing oil deposits. In respect to the video. No, we spend relatively little on defence. I think we rely on our Big Brother, the US, to come to our defence when we need defending. Personally, we all, as humans, need to learn to be excellent to each other.
    41
  72. Australia, particularly Brisbane in Queensland, has embraced tunnel tech. There are road, and soon-to-be-finished rail networks across Brisbane that go under both suburbs and the city, as well as the river. It may be worth looking into the development of the Brisbane tunnel traffic network.

  77. I too was thinking, "how did so many people die?" I guess because I've never been in a situation like this other than a bush fire, panic in such an enclosed environment, combined with a fire behind (below) you, the first reaction would be to run from the fire source. It takes a clear head to make decisions that go against your initial instincts. As in the case of a bushfire (in my experience), finding a narrow area of the firefront and running through that to get behind the firefront was the smart option. Further, the fire I was caught in wasn't an intense bushfire but the firefront would have been about the distance these poor souls had to go through if they'd gone down, rather than up. Some singed hair and minor burns are a small price to pay for survival.

  78. 2:15 When I was in primary school, we had a police officer come to the school to lecture about safety when cycling on the road. He proceeded to tell us that we had to obey the same road rules as cars. Me, being a smartarse 11-year-old, asked, "Well, if we have to follow the same rules as car drivers, why can't we ride in the middle of the road like cars do?" He replied, "Well, you can. But don't come crying to me when a truck runs you over."

  79. This scandal has weaved its way throughout my life. Many times, it's been in anecdotes in books, or on radio, or by looking at old news clips. I'm only 10 seconds in and am anticipating a really good coverage of this by you. Thank you.

  81. Extreme cold storms in Japan and the US. Extreme floods in Australia and Saudi Arabia. They are not the only countries affected by extreme weather right now. It seems we're all suffering unusual weather patterns.
    37
  82. A friend's father recently turned 82. He was a Barnardo's boy and came to Australia as part of their program towards the end of WW2. He found out some years ago that his brother was alive and so he and his daughter (my friend) traveled to the US and GB to meet lost family and catch up with old friends.
    37
  83. The HAKA. Yep, frikking formidable. Absolutely awesome stuff. I'm Aussie, but Haka are just mesmerising and somewhat scary.
    36
  84. Martin H, Nauru was once the richest nation per capita on the planet. Almost the entire island was mined for its Phosphate, but the riches vanished. Nowadays the country receives aid and payments from Australia for hosting an off-shore detention centre. However, it's not much money. Sadly, Nauru is not much of a place for tourists.
    36
  85. I consider any postulation by China to be a sign of weakness on their part. A proud nation would ignore Taiwan and leave them to their own devices. Taiwan is an independent country and if everyone just stopped being so damned paranoid, Taiwan could live without threat from the East or West.
    36
  86. I like this tool. I'd call it a 'Computer Assisted Router'.
    35
  87. I had some 'interesting' experiences as a driver in Central Queensland in the late 80s. When the rains hit the dirt roads were, let's just say, not a place for young players.
    35
  88. 20-something years ago, I was a volunteer assistant working on an ad blocker that prevented them from loading. We were early internet guerillas

  89. The thing about that move is it was all or nothing. He was out of the championship but that mad move got him in. I understand why he did it but yeah, it could have ended in carnage.

  90. Yellow is an energy enhancing colour (color), according to my dirty hippy education. Blues and Greens will sap you of energy, or calm you (depending on the context and environment. Okay, no more hippy talk. Sorry.
    33
  91. 6:50 Well, for me this is a daily thing. Not the show these guys performed, but the girl and the boy are always here. And the rain on the roof and the bird's sounds from out the back are very calming. Plus the birds, and my new friend, an Alexandrian Parrot that ran away from home and decided it likes it here. If I was religious, I'd say I'm blessed. But no, I just like animals.
    33
  92. I dived down the rabbit hole with some of these AI image generators and found it fascinating to think about what was going on behind the scenes. It has taken years of machine learning to be able to create this stuff, and the trippy thing is, the code is learning as it creates the images people request. I have grown up through the birth of 'mainstream' computing. I saw humans use computers to get to the moon. I watched as movies began using computers to plan stunts. I played with Ti computers in seismic oil search in the late 70s. I watched as computers started to become affordable for the average person and eventually worked in the Infotech security field. I left the industry in the late 2000s and wow, a lot has been happening over the past 15 years. Often it's a mutation of what computing and the internet was supposed to give to humanity
    32
  93. You know imagining 6 or 7 trillion dollars is to comprehend? There's an Aussie YouTuber who used a large mason jar full of coloured water, a syringe, a shot cup and a coffee to graphically show how little a dent in the US deficit the cuts will actually make. I think it is The West Report (edit: ABC Are You Listening?)
    32
  94. The NFSA have a great collection of archived Australian films. Everything from info movies for immigrants to films documenting the construction of dams and highways. Well worth checking out.
    32
  95. You can't record people without permission? Then turn off your hundreds of security cameras. Arsehats.

  96. I was reawakened to how vast Australia is when I used to talk to friend in Brisbane when I live at Bloomfield in Far North Queensland. We'd be talking at about 6pm and down in Brisbane it was dark, yet the sun hadn't quite set up in Bloomfield. It was then I realised that even though Brisbane and Bloomfield are on the coast, Bloomfield is as Far West as Charleville and Quilpie are from Brisbane.
    30
  97. We often ridicule maverick land regeneration projects. Permaculture was considered hippy madness decades ago. As was restricting cattle access to natural waterways.
    30
  98. Man, I really enjoy your lessons on the geographical history of Australia. As a kid, I was taught that Australia is the most ancient and stable land mass on the planet. However, we were never taught the ancient geographical history that formed this place. I guess that in the 60s-late 70s, it wasn't a priority. It was all, "Look at all the mineral wealth we have and look how stable our land is". Your explanation of ancient events that shaped Australia physically is fascinating for this old fella.

  100.  @softsofasoftsofa  It was more a cultural thing. The tribal chief had to work as the 'Boss man's' right-hand-man. Two 'chiefs' working together.

  101. I have a friend who is involved with the Australian Yowie Hunters team. I don't doubt his integrity and he has thermal footage of an unidentified, tall creature taken in the Gold Coast hinterland. Have a search on YouTube. The video is around somewhere.

  102. Solo cups are also marketed here in Oz as 'Party Cups', and they are ALWAYS Red. A great marketing tactic.

  103. Every time I watch this (and yes, I've watched it a lot too) I think the video has been sped up. An insane, yet oh-so-clever move!
    27
  104. I'm a tad pissed with myself. I had 2 Rememberance coins in amongst my special 2 dollar coins. I was bare-arse broke a while back and spent 20 dollars on food. Those two coins were part of that 20. Bugger.
    27
  105. @preciousplasticph I would much rather eat coarse filtered honey than that boiled and multi-filtered rubbish we get here in Australia.
    27
  106. I just love the sound of a dirty old Aussie V8. Both Ford, Holden, and Valiant (Chrysler) produced some awesome V8s and they all sounded deadly with the right exhaust system. The VK SS sounded like that off the showroom floor though.
    26
  107. It's a geek thing. We don't do crowds well, let alone speaking on stage in front of potentially millions.
    26
  108. Ummm, I thought that the liw 'tables' were for one person tents to be erected on when hiking. It keeps you off the ground so that ants, bugs, and snakes can't get into your tent.

  109. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Trump needs some serious professional mental health help.

  111. Conner's mum had so much hope for his future when he was a child. I feel sorry for her.

  112. There was a lady cop worked in Cooktown years ago and she was well over 6 foot tall. She was a gem.
    25
  113. I'm still waiting to find out if Darrell Brooks broke the world record for the most objections uttered in a criminal trial.
    25
  114. The Range is pretty trippy. Over the years I've crossed The Range at many locations, from Barrington Tops, Barcaldine, Georgetown, and Laura among others. The first time I crossed the range Barcaldine, I was blown away. I was used to The Great Dividing Range being tall mountains and winding roads. The crossing between Jericho and Barcaldine is not much more than a big hill.
    25
  115. 22:45 So please reply and tell me. This guy with the headphones listens to the album while staring at where the needle is on the album. Then, when he hears an anomaly, he makes a note of it. Then, when he's finished, he takes his notes and translates them to locations on the albums on the wall? RESPECT is all I have. That's extreme geek talent.

  116. That channel and that man are awesome. I've been following him for a while. He had a family tragedy sometime ago and has recently started posting again. He describes our animals so well.

  119. Wow! That's just so NOMM NOMM! I'm an Aussie in the subtropics and I'm making this for Christmas!
    23
  120. @Brandon Crisp  Exactly my point. You can have freedom, under our terms, and our god driven beliefs. We will control you so you can be free. The whole movement is contradictory. But the fan folk can't see it.

  121. The excitement of Jodie Foster's character in 'Contact' when she got the signal has always hit me deep. Now I have to watch it again! I donated my computer idle time to SETI for many years.
    23
  122. 2:26 It's that instant gear change that gets me. Like a high-powered motorcycle in a shell with four wheels but harder.

  123. This would have been a perfect premise for a Monty Python sketch. It reminds me of the guy who wanted a backyard barbecue but could not afford bricks, so he built it out of timber...

  124. Michelle is a good soul. You can see her honesty in her eyes.
    22
  125. I was thinking the same thing. I worked in IT Admin for a while and my co-worker and I both wore the loudest Hawaiian shirts we could find. If we'd known about Curious Droid's retro shirt supplier 17 years ago, we'd probably have worn them. We were Fashion Assassins.
    22
  126. Thanks again Lilly. I see the BG Gerber is serving you well. Thankfully in Australia (at least where I live) we don't have to worry too much about toxins, except of course the Cone Shell snails and Stone fish and Blue Ringed Octopus, and Irukandji & Box Jellyfish...Okay, yes, we do have to worry about toxins LOL.
    22
  127. I remember when I first saw this. Laughed my arse off! Yes, I've been guilty of warning tourists about Drop bears...in the Tropical North, where Koalas don't live. Well, they do live up North on the tablelands, but not up around Cooktown way.
    21
  128. Magnesite has a Mohs of around 3.5. However, when processed into refractory bricks, I believe it becomes much harder. I wonder how it would survive?

  131. Being a left-hander, and having only ever used bolt-action rifles, I can understand how much of a pain it would be to have your reloading hand wrapped in a strap. I always operated the bolt with my right hand and fired with my left, and used my left eye to sight. I'm Australian, so my use of rifles was curtailed many years ago. However, I did use a rifle back in the day. Left-handed, and with a right eye that has retina damage made for interesting adjustments in the way I used a rifle and sights. Yep, never used a scope on a rifle. Oh, and I need to thank you. This was one of the most interesting videos on this subject that I've seen. It was a brilliant, geeky critique of movie accuracy that both entertained and educated me. Cheers, mate.
    20
  132. Not sure what you're saying there Edward Stack Sr. What I said was, these people are ignorant and got sucked in by a con-man. Ignorant: lacking knowledge or awareness in general. If you listen to these people, they've consumed a diet of Fox News, 'reality' TV and propaganda from the NRA and other self-serving, government bribing organisations. That's all they know. If it doesn't fit into their perceived view of the US and the world, they get conflicted and scared and get, in some cases, angry because they're confused about the real world.

  133. Giant pillarless warehouses with giant uncovered car parks. I resisted Bunnings for years. I tried to support local hardware stores but the Green Giant assimilated me and now ... I'm one of the masses. We are Bunnings. We are Borg.
    19
  134. I was shocked by the Formula 3 crash in 2018 when 17-year-old Sophia Floersch went airborne and slammed into a media stand some 12 feet off the ground. She survived, but how is anyone's guess: https://youtu.be/ju2oF2d4vGA
    19
  135. Automatic gearboxes for truck have advanced in leaps and bounds for heavy vehicles. I remember when they were first coming on the market and the doubts that old-school truckies had about them. I was lucky enough to have a run in an automatic prime mover pulling a B-double from Mackay to Gympie 10 or so years ago. No, I wasn't driving, I was hitch-hiking. But the driver and I had a great yarn about the truck and how good the box was. I'm an ex-truck driver, so we had a good old yarn.
    19
  136. Yep. I feel sorry for sane Americans who had to put up with this nutcase for 4 years. I doubt he'll make the 2024 election. He's just a loose unit.
    19
  137.  @JustAnotherBuckyLover  Mmmm, don't think I said it was fake. I said it was boiled and multi-filtered rubbish. I prefer coarse-filtered honey. I don't mind getting the odd bee leg in my honey.
    19
  138.  @stephenlambert6407  Or, reuse rubbish and make your own. Then you don't have to pay for a new couch or bed. Or, make furniture out of waste and make some money for yourself. The subject is waste, not climate.

  140. 5:12 Now that is an awesome capture. That micro millimetre droplet gets smashed into gas/mist/steam.
    18
  141. @OnTourWithGerrit Thanks for that first-hand observation. The arrows on the floor seem to have been drawn straight out of standard passenger aircraft requirements. A very good idea for ALL buildings I believe. I worked in airfreight and dangerous goods handling during the 90s and even almost became an airport firefighter. The only thing that stopped me was that as part of the employment contract you had to be willing to move to different airports. I was in my 30s with a young family by then, so declined the offer (well, my ex did). I really like the introduction of 'smart' elevators too. Another brilliant safety feature.
    18
  142. I look at this as a father. I would want my children brought back to Australia to face our Laws. Yes, most of these girls willingly went to Syria and beyond. But they were arguably children when they left and were arguably groomed for their roles. Bring them home and treat them as Australians in the courts.
    18
  143. 7:06 It's an old telephone junction box I think.
    18
  144.  @eh1702  Please allow me to disagree. ALL bread will go mouldy. It is made from flour, salt and yeast which, after baking creates ideal conditions for mould.The reason many breads don't go mouldy after a week or so is because they have mould inhibitors added. Properly baked bread with the right ingredients will keep well and actually become more nutritios after a few days. However, it will go mouldy after a week, depending on the climate. In Australia in the tropics, bread tends to go mouldy very fast if not kept in a fridge.
    17
  145. Hey mate. You should check out some videos of the Laura Dance Festival, held every two years in Far North Queensland. Clans from all over meet and 'compete' over a few days, dancing traditional dances. It's a pretty special experience.
    17
  146.  @TheTravelerHD4K  Poor countries? Portugal? Switzerland? Richer per capita, and definitely more developed than the US and many other countries. C'mon mate. Think before you type. Your bias that has been influenced by 'The War On Drugs' propaganda is glaringly obvious. I'm trying to provide some constructive criticisms for your arguments, rather than belittle you. I've spent nigh on 40 years following the politics of drug laws, and researching different approaches to illegal drugs in different countries. Do some research yourself, mate. You may find your opinion changes.
    17
  147. The Fan palms are Licuala ramsayii. The little hook vines that hang down in tendrils come from Lawyer Cane. They are often called 'wait-a-while' because when you get hooked up on one, you'll have to wait a while to pick the hooks off. Yeah, you don't run on rainforest paths up there. The walk on Palm Drive is quite close to the Daintree Tea Company. You may be able to buy Daintree Tea over there somewhere.
    17
  148. It's okay Edward, I think I'll be okay. But then, nothing is sure in this world. As you and other Trump supporters have discovered, but refuse to believe. It's okay though, the majority of your countryfolk have seen through the blatant lies and can see the facts piling up in respect to his conspiring with Russia etc. He'll be gone sooner rather than later. I can't finish my discussion with you without informing you that everything Trump has done policy-wise since he gained Office has benefited only himself or his rich friends. He doesn't give a long flying fuck about middle and low-income earners. He cares only about himself and those that can feed his ego. I'm done now because I know you won't understand or will refuse to believe that.
    17
  149. Gotta say, I'm very happy that the US ones are true to the Aussie recipe.
    17
  150. Thank you for producing this video. I was always told that the Glasshouse Mountains were old volcanic cores. I guess that's true but I assumed they were all 'real' volcanoes that did the whole volcano thing. I also made that assumption due to the extremely fertile ground around the mountains. Thanks again for enlightening this 59-year-old kid.
    17
  151. 5:29 Yep. As I predicted in my head. The Dodge that exemplifies why Dodge was once a unique marque won.

  154. I grew up in small, sometimes tiny communities. It was standard to say "g'day" to the people you walk by. Sometimes it was just normal to stop and talk with a person you haven't seen before. The first time I went to a 'big' town (pop 20000), I was walking down the street with my friend who was a local and I was saying g'day to everyone who walked past. He was laughing at me the whole time.
    16
  155.  @TheTravelerHD4K  Dude, your argument about corporate takeover of criminal organisations leads me to think you are just trolling for attention. Your argument was utterly flawed, and contains already disproven assertions in peer-reviewed studies. Just say it out loud, you don't like drugs. It'll save you writing rubbish statements in the comments.
    16
  156. I would argue that the name 'Orwell' is more recognizable than 'Hemmingway'. My bias may be showing through with that statement.
    16
  157. Crocs. Sneaky buggers. I've lived in croc country and camped near croc-infested rivers. They are cunning things and have endless patience. Locals and just about any tourist guidebook worth its salt will advise you to camp at least 30 metres from any creek or river, especially tidal ones. They'll also tell you, that if you're camping for a few days, don't access the creek or river via the same spot every day, and always go in pairs so someone can be a spotter if you're collecting water or even fishing. Crocs will notice unusual activity on the bank from a distance, and if the activity is repeated, the croc/s will come closer each day. You can pretty much count on a croc being very close to your river access spot by day three. And in cloudy water, you won't see it even if it's only six inches under.
    16
  158. I tell ya, some of the comments are so indicative of the stupidity of some people. Governments are tasked with looking after their citizens, including healthcare. That's why you pay taxes. Free healthcare is considered a right in most developed countries. The US is an uncivilized, broke country masquerading as being free, sophisticated and wealthy.
    16
  159. Drop Bears. Scary buggers... However, Koalas themselves can be seriously dangerous in their own right. They can cause serious damage with those tree-climbing claws if they feel threatened.
    16
  160. I was mates with a relatively infamous bank robber. He was one of the crew who broke out of Boggo road in a truck in the late 80s. The problem was, he was a heroin addict, and by the time he got out of jail, bank robbery was a far riskier affair than drug dealing with arguably lower returns. So he became a big-time drug dealer in the small city he ended up living in...and got busted multiple times. Not sure what happened to the poor bugger. Horse Ryan was his nickname.
    16
  161. Guava trees grow like weeds where I'm currently living. I'm currently making walking/hiking sticks from the branches. The timber is extremely dense and strong. I love guava fruit.
    16
  162. 24:00 Shark, or as it was known in fish and chip shops in Australia for decades past, Flake, has a unique flavour when caught and cooked fresh. I liken it to the difference between farmed chicken and wild fowl. Shark, compared to the usual white fleshed sea fish, is more gamey, for me at least. I like the flavour.
    16
  163. So is lacking the skills to spell correctly when typing a comment. It's 'disgusting'...

  164. Australia had a lot of these. As a kid, I was enthralled with these 'swing-wing' aircraft. It was the first Airfix model I ever built.
    15
  165. Hold my Redbull...
    15
  166. I still remember (and I was 10 years old at the time) when the Australian Government approved the purchase of Pollock's 'Blue Poles', or 'No11 1952' for the Australian National Gallery. The price was 2 million dollars, which was an insane price in 1973. Today it is estimated to be worth over 100 million dollars.
    15
  167. 4:00 That was quite poignant for me. In the late 70s, I was exploring an abandoned homestead in far western Queensland. One of the quirks of these old buildings was they'd lay newspaper down before laying linoleum or other coverings on the floor. I was peeling up the flooring to check if there was newspaper underneath and found a page from 1947. There was a small article of only a few paragraphs that said the Holden company was discussing designing and buildng an all-Australian car. I took that page from under the floorboards and kept it for about 2 years before I lost it in a duffel bag fire.
    15
  168. 1:13 Just yesterday, as I was walking down the street, I watched a bloke in an Audi turn left off a main street, then left into a shopping centre car park that was on a bend, and at no time did the indicators flash. I so much wanted to ask him if Audi provided working indicators on a subscription plan...
    15
  169. I'm at 1:40 and I don't think I can even bear to see any more of this movie, even if you are doing a stellar job of giving it an honest review. If it's any consolation, I will sub because you are doing the work of people far stronger than us mere mortals who only have to watch the review and not the entire movie.
    15
  170. You know what? Robotic tools may look cool, but they're as dumb as dogsh*t. Humans program them and even have to teach them 'how' to learn. As for this video, automated factory robots are not art. I found this very disappointing. Perhaps if Yi could have stayed in time with the robot's pre-programmed movements I'd have been more impressed. Suggestion: add sensors to the arm so that it copies 'you' in real time.
    15
  171. Yeah, don't go to Devil's Pools. That's just a scary vibe there, even without knowing the traditional story. Oh, there is a waterfall up where I lived called Roaring Meg Falls (Kija) where men are not supposed to swim. For good reason. Traditional Lore says the falls are only a woman's place and men can die if they venture too close. And yes, many men have died ignoring this rule, yet no women from memory have ever come to harm there. I just didn't go near the place.
    15
  172. 13:00 The Dutch extensively mapped the Western coast of Australia and even attempted to settle there, according to archeological discoveries. The evidence of Dutch discovery and settlement was suppressed by the British for many years. It was funny for me when I was a kid because my early schooling on the east coast taught us how Capt Cook discovered Australia. When I went to Perth as a ten-year-old, we were taught that the Dutch discovered Australia on the West coast and were taken on excursions to the Freemantle museum to show us the Dutch relics there. They didn't know much of the East coast, but they knew the West very well.

  174. John Farnham, an Australian music artist held a farewell tour many years back. My mother was a big fan and paid $150 Australian to go to the Farewell concert. Mr Farnham has had three farewell tours as of 2020 if memory serves correct.
    15
  175.  @ianmacfarlane1241  Given the climate, that would create a Workplace Health and Safety issue. There are plenty of other heating technologies that don't involve exposed hot wires. Even pseudo-oil heaters that have a completely enclosed heating element would be an option. You can't expect workers to sit in a small cabin in the middle of Winter going up and down a mountain all day to not have some sort of heating. And by the same token, you can't expect a worker to wear thermal clothing all day in absence of some form of heating.
    15
  176. Aotearoa, New Zealand is the one place I'd migrate to if I had a mind to leave Australia. The history and culture and landscape just draws me in. Aotearoa never ceded to British rule. A treaty was signed, unlike Australia where the British basically tried to commit genocide on the Traditional Owners of this country.
    15
  177. Sorry for the multiple comments. I just got to the lanyard part. I have an adjustable lanyard on my machete and my larger knives. I have them wrapped around my hand in such a way that if when I'm chopping I lose the handle from my grip, it doesn't don't swing towards my leg. I would never have the lanyard around my hand if I was walking with the knife/saw. As for using a lanyard to hang a knife/saw off a pack; no. Your blades need to be secure. They're your most important tool. In respect to 'closed' lanyards, I have a knotted lanard and an adjustable lanyard on my big chopper. That way I can secure the knife to my hand and also use the knotted lanyard as a pseudo handle exrtension when chopping.
    15
  178. The Stinging Tree, or 'Gympie Gympie' (pronounced gimpee with a hard G as in golf) is fairly common in rainforests, especially in the Southeast around the area of Gympie. We get them up north but they don't seem to be as common. I've been lucky so far in that I've only ever had a very light contact with one. And yeah, kinda like a burn. I'd hate to trip into a sapling and cop a big hit though.
    14
  179. I have my own grinder and espresso machine and have had for many years. However, on the rare occasion that I buy a coffee, I've found that even the 7/11 coffee over here isn't too bad. I've only ever bought coffee in a specialist cafe a couple of times and decided not to again because I realised exactly how crappy my homebrew was in comparison. Mine is great if I don't have good coffee to compare it to.

  186. 4:20 QANTAS' reputation as the most reliable and safe airline in the world was irreparably damaged during the tenure of their last CEO, Ziggy Stardust, or whatever his name was. He gutted the airline for shareholder profits and personal bonuses. It's a damned shame. We also had another major airline in Australia called Ansett. Unfortunately, they entered into a business contract with Air New Zealand, which led to the complete collapse of Ansett, the only real competitor to QANTAS in Australia.

  187. This was awesome right up until about 9 minutes. Then I got all maudlin thinking about the loss of mini-golf courses. They're few and far between. I mean really, in 2013/4 they were starting to die. It's really sad. But the food, OH MAN! I was mildly munchie before watching this. Now I need to cook. Spaghetti Jaffles! Go on. Search for Australian Spaghetti Jaffles made with a Jaffle Maker designed to go on a fire. That's what I'm about to make. NOMM NOMM!

  188. Christians calling for thoughts and prayers and praying for peace annoy the crap out of me. You would think, that after years upon years of offering thoughts and prayers, mass shootings would have ended a long time ago. Do they know the old adage about repeatedly trying the same thing, even though it failed the first time?

  190. 10:55 In the 90s, friends and us would host university students or foreigners studying in Australia. One of the guys, when the semester finished, decided to ride from Rockhampton to Uluru. Have a look on Google maps how far it is. Thankfully, he was somewhat aware of the distances he'd have to travel. However, on the first day, he only made it to Duaringa, 100 km from Rockhampton. Still a good feat in my eyes if look at the terrain he covered. If memory serves me correctly, he actually made it in a few weeks.

  191. Should I assume this is a case of inexperience? Possibly using his brakes more than his gears to control his speed? You can't rely on brakes to keep a fully loaded body truck under control down a hill. Choose a lower gear, and use your brakes intermittently so they don't get a chance to overheat. It's one of those things you learn from experience, and those situations are referred to over here as '...a trap for young players...'.

  192. Hey mate, have a look for the Doug Anthony Allstars. A comedy/satire trio from the 70s/80s who really made an impact over here. In particular, see if you can find their cover of 'Heard it Through The Grapevine', or ' Throw Your Arms Around Me'. Two songs that completely divert from their sometimes very crass comedy.

  199. I remember being tripped out years ago when I first saw those walking tree loppers. They were on six independent legs and had a tree-stripping attachment. It could walk sideways up steep terrain and selectively pick a tree, cut it at the base, and then strip the branches off. I immediately wanted one...and still do.

  201. There are ignorant and unconsciously racist people everywhere. For example, possibly the most out of touch and overtly racist statement I ever heard came from a couple of tourists in Far North Queensland about 10 years ago. They were from Melbourne. For those who don't know, Melbourne is down South on the coast near Tasmania. I was in Helenvale, home of the Lion's Den Hotel near Cooktown, up on Cape York. The two places are not only worlds apart in distance (3000km/2000miles) but also in attitudes and population. Anyway, as you do up there in a country pub, you say hello to the tourists. So I sat down and started to have a yarn with this couple. It was all going fine until the woman said to me, "The boongs are really friendly up here..." 'Boong' is a term that was once common among white city folk to describe aboriginals... I was lost for words. All I could do was walk away and sit with my friends again. Just. Blown. Away.

  204.  @joelhall5124  Buddy, any country that has a government-funded health service uses your taxes to pay for it. Whether it be dialysis or drug addiction rehabilitation. It's one of the more noble reasons to pay taxes. One day, you too will need that service, be it for cancer or an injury, or old age health issues.

  206. I live in a converted 60/70s era Bedford passenger bus that originally had a big old six cylinder engine. Back in 1989, the original owners swapped it out for a 308 Holden engine. I'm pretty sure the engine is worth more than the bus.

  209. In the 1990s I was introduced to a bloke who had a Mandarine (and other fruits) farm near the coast around Yeppoon in Queensland, Australia. This guy had been using mineral rock to improve the soil, supportive ground covers to retain moisture and improve the soil...and, he introduced a tiny native wasp that attacked fruit fly and other 'pest' insects. As a result, his fruit was certified organic and had no blemishes, and personally, his mandarines were the juiciest and most flavoursome of any other mandarine I'd tasted up until then. Natural crop protection is easy to implement.

  210. I call gugu Yalanji my home country. It's up on Cape York between Mossman and just South East of Cooktown. It is one of the 20 languages where it is spoken as a first language still. I know a little language and will learn more when I return next year. Wujal Wujal, the main community North of Cape Tribultionis very cool. It's one of those places where you'll see the lads driving down the road with their mullet spears hanging out the window. The Culture is still rich up there.

  211. I nearly learned the hard way that Glasgow boys were probably not the best to phuk with when I was about 10 years old. I lived in Perth (Western Australia), which was home to a lot of British etc immigrants. Anyway, I got into a bit of a fight with a lad one afternoon and we were pretty even but he gave me some decent hits. I thought it was all over,. but then he went home and got his big brother who came running down the street with a lump of wood in his hand. Luckily I could run faster than him. Mortal fear gives you Usain Bolt speed sometimes...

  227. Given an unlimited budget for fuel, a long run test would be more 'real life'. But still, there would be factors unknown. Eg, an internal anomaly in the engine. Plus, in order to get some sleep, you'd need a large external fuel feeder to the engine fuel tanks. I'd suggest such tests would be impractical given that these engines may run for thousands of hours before dying.
    11
  228. Australia has evolved along US lines with respect to servos. Back in the day, every servo in Australia also had a mechanic workshop attached and didn't sell food or even snacks besides drinks like coke and fanta. They didn't have restaurants etc. As time passed, the model changed and we got carwashes instead of workshops. Then came video shops, then came basic snacks and stuff. Then...a sudden change happened and servos became affiliated with supermarkets and sold groceries as well as fuel. They also became part of the 'Service Centre' complexes that have become common in Australia. It is a huge fuel centre that also offers food and drinks, with other shops like Maccas or Hungry Jacks or McDonald's. As well as coffee shops and other stores (Dunkin Donuts anyone?). The whole idea of entering a petrol station has changed. You rarely see a mechanic's workshop attached to a servo today.

  244. Another great test. It would be interesting to see if a 'wear in' test produced different results. I used to use Slick 50 in a 225 slant six engine. After an accident that split the radiator, I drove it roughly 10km to home with no cooling and the engine didn't seize. I changed the oil (and added more Slick 50 and never had an issue with the engine. I'm not saying Slick 50 is good, but I would have expected a motor to seize under those conditions.

  247. Some trivia about Queensland. When you're not looking at a map, it's easy to think that Queensland's coastal towns and cities are in a line running North/South. However, even though both Cooktown and Brisbane are on the coast, Cooktown is as far West as Cunnamulla, in Far West outback Queensland. I got my first realisation of the difference when I was in Bloomfield/Cooktown, talking to a friend on the phone who was in Brisbane. The sun had already set, and it was dark in Brisbane, but the sun was only just setting up where I was. It was still daylight.
    10
  248. This was brilliant! I spent my younger years in Perth, at a new estate near Duncraig. I remember as a kid of 10, my dad telling me how the roads were made to follow the contours of the land. And another thing that always had me thinking was the amount of sand that was inland from the coast. We'd ride our bikes along what was once a track inland for kilometres and it was all sand. I also remember cliff-like hills on the Northern side of the old track. Looking on Google Earth, it's hard to tell if the roads followed an ancient chevron contour though. It's the area near Glengarry Park. Carlyle Crescent was the street we lived in.

I have crappy teeth, so don't actively add sugar to my food. I use liquid malt or pure honey. Honey with sugar syrup gives my exposed nerves curry, whereas pure honey does not.

  251. I was at Lakeside in around 1978 and watched a mini brick roll at Hungry's. It rolled for about 100 metres (100yards or thereabouts) and as it rolled the bonnet, boot, and both doors got ripped off. It ended up on its wheels and the driver climbed out with no dramas. But damn, it was an exceptional crash LOL.

  256.  @7six3  Not quite. In Far North Queensland, if there is only one way in and one way out of a community, and that community is 'dry', then no, usually you can't bring alcohol in your vehicle, even if you don't intend to drink it or take it out of the said vehicle. However, if you travel through a community that can be driven through to a destination that is not under the dry rules, you can take your alcohol through. You must be a bona fide person passing through, you can't stop, and the alcohol must be hidden from outside view.

  258. 9:55 You'll see a lot of the bays etc in Far North Queensland retain their names from 1770 when Cook was up that way. Cape Tribulation was named because that's around where Cook hit the reef for the first time. He ended up in the Endeavour River further North and the locals looked after him.

  263. Man, that's cool. I have a collection of the old 1:50000 maps that cover most of Cape York. They were made using data from the 40s thru to the 60s if I recall correctly. I've been a bit of a map geek since my childhood. We moved from Brisbane to Perth in the early 70s and when I got there, our first geography class was mapping, and the textbook we had was using Mt Tibrogargan to show contours. I was 9or 10 years old and was so excited that a mountain near where I used to live was in a textbook. After that I was hooked.

  264. I'm Australian, but as much as I want to ignore this whole Trump saga, I've been addicted to it it since he won the 2016 election. The man is far to bizarrely entertaining for me. It's an absolute nutter. If he gets through all these cases unscathed, it will confirm that the USA has lost the plot. I feel so sorry for the sane citizens of your country that have to suffer through this. I'll keep watching, and I'll continue to enjoy seeing my popcorn shares explode in value.

  265. I should hunt down some video showing how eroded and topsoil-depleted land is being restored. Yes, we have a deplorable record with respect to logging native forests. Further, people were paid to clear land many years ago for grazing and agriculture. Contrary to some in the comments, we have clear-felled 90% of our arable land. Land was cleared using two bulldozers with a huge chain attached between them. They just drive through the scrub, ripping every tree from the ground. There are a now vast tracts of land being repaired by farmers nowadays. I won't go on. It'll be another long rant.

I was working in seismic oil search and was earmarked to be sent to the States to train as a systems engineer. However, I had lied about my age when I got the job. I was only 17, and the minimum age for the job was 18. So I had to make excuses as to why I couldn't travel. Man, what a missed opportunity. Back then I was earning about 100 bucks a day in the field, 5 times my friend's incomes. The system engineers were making 700 a day.

  274. Hey Ian. You and I both. Banger racing is quite simply the most insane style of racing I've ever seen. I have been told by Dutch banger racers that there are very few 'serious' injuries. Mainly due to the vigilance of the volunteer flag people. They check to make sure a trapped driver is okay by receiving the thumbs-up. If they don't get that, or feel the next bang will hurt someone, they throw up the Red flag, indicating that drivers can't ram that particular pile of carnage.

  275. Many, many years ago we used to camp near a huge waterfall in the forest in outback Queensland. I remember one morning sitting down for sausages and bacon for brekky and a Kookaburra flew down, grabbed the sausage and took off with it in almost the wink of an eye. Cheeky buggers.

  280.  @wot4922  Settle petal. You're making some grand assumptions about people there. And mate, people drink for a lot of reasons and some people can't control their consumption. It's the same in any country and within any community that has alcohol in its modern culture. I've lived and worked in aboriginal communities in the Far North and generally there are two types of racists. Those that say, "Go back to the bush where you came from..." and those that say, "stop picking on the poor aboriginals. It's not their fault...". Guess which one is despised more in community? I would discuss more of your points but you know, I've had similar discussions with hundreds of people from all walks of life, and I'm just tired of it. I know how I feel about stolen family, stolen land, frontier-led massacres, and the continued disenfranchisement of many Traditional Owners. But I'm tired of repeating myself, as are many. Change is coming. People are patient. I come from Yalanji country if you're curious. Kuku Yalanji. My given name (and personal totem animal) is Gnawia (Sea Turtle).

  284. Recycling can't replace mining for Lithium. The math doesn't work: A recycled battery, at best will return 80% of the original Lithium used to make the battery. So we need to mine another 20% to make a new battery. If we make a battery from the recycled material, we use 20% more of that material to make a new battery If we recycle that battery, our returns diminish. If we can't develop a technology to recycle 100% of the Lithium from a battery, then we need to continue mining this finite resource. Perhaps this is a portent to our future. One with no base power source besides a campfire.

Next day she was flown to another city with better cancer facilities. Next day, I was flown on priority from the remote town to the city she'd been flown to. I stayed in the hospital for 2 nights myself, albeit on a couch in the quiet room but they didn't kick me out. When relatives arrived we were accommodated in an apartment at a heavily discounted rate (govt subsidised). After her op we were flown back home. ALL of the treatment and transport was free. I love where I live.

  290. Over here in Australia, we have large commercial auto 'clubs' that started way back when cars were becoming popular forms of transport. Nowadays they have insurance arms and ride-side assist, and pre-sale vehicle inspections for club members. It's a great service. There is a range of membership levels, but Roadside Assist is across all levels with different perks for more expensive memberships. The pre-purchase check is conducted onsite, which is great for the type of purchase described in this video. Oh, I'd love to tell you about my old 60 series Landcruiser wagon and three bottles of 'Bar's Leaks' one day.

  292. Lauren W, I feel sorry for the friends I have in the US. People live in fear because of people in high places receiving substantial amounts of cash from the arms business. Laws need to be changed to protect innocent people from having to live in fear. A country that was long respected as a bastion of freedom. Wondering whether a family member is going to be shot at the mall, or at work, or gods forbid, at school, is not freedom. Law-abiding citizens are being held to ransom at gunpoint by the NRA and the politicians that profit from that organisation's support. It's unfair for the majority of Americans. Especially the kids.

  293. Not a bird strike. It was a proximity surface to air missile. Get your story straight before saying bird strike. External damage is clearly a proximity shrapnel missile strike.

  294. If I was relatively rich, I'd buy one of these ink blocks and keep it in a box. When friends came over, I'd make it a conversation piece by explaining how the block was made. It's just so intricate. Great for talking about when you're stoned as a dead goanna.

  295. WOW! I clearly remember reading about this in a newspaper in Australia the day after it happened. It was also on the news. I once went looking for information about this disaster on the web but came up with nothing. I put it down to being pre-mobile phones and internet as we know it. Thank you for posting this.

  296. Velociraptors were/are actually a genus of species. Some were turkey size, while others were ostrich sized. They were also feathered. The ones depicted in Jurassic Park were based on a relative species. So yes, the cassowary probably came from that line. I've seen the odd one and a family up where I used to live. Awesome birds.

  297. You've got me intrigued, Ian. What were you saying under the "Queensland" you were dubbing when you edited? C'mon, mate, don't come the raw prawn and try and pull the wool over our eyes, what word did you stuff up?

  298. 8:05 I need to weigh in say that the land that is designated 'nature or minimal use' in NSW is land that is too steep or inaccessible for farming or forestry. All that purple stuff is wild country. If it wasn't, we white people would have raped it for its resources by now...Sadly, there are very few areas that are good for cropping or grazing that have been designated National park or environmentally important. Australia's attitude seems to be, "If we can't mine it, crop it, deforest it. or graze it, then bugger it, make it a National Park". Pretend environmentalism. Places of real importance such as the Daintree and some of Tasmania were tenaciously fought for by environmentalists. I personally know people who tree-sat up at Cape Trib in the early 80s, fighting to protect rare, pristine rainforests from development. Sorry, I'll stop now. I'm a mad greenie hippy and get carried away sometimes LOL.

  300. Just a heads up. The research and pharmaceutical industries WILL, not might lose tens of billions in revenue if a cure for cancer is given trial status on humans. If merely one of the many scientific and non-scientific 'cures' prove true, the pharmaceutical and instrument supply companies and all the other associated 'cancer' industries will begin to fold. The economic impact on the cancer industry would be enormous. If an 'open source', free, make or grow at home cure for a variety of cancers was to become popular, the same result would happen for the Cancer Treatment Empire. Hence the perpetuated 'War on Drugs'.

  302.  @anjehouse9507  Wujal Wujal (Bloomfield) is my spiritual home. I lived there in the 80s and returned in 2011. I left again in 2016, but I'll be back up that way next year. No where near as remote as you are but still a very traditional area. It's one of the places where the local gugu yalanji language is spoken in the home as a first language. Back in the 80s, it was a very remote area as access was difficult. Nowadays the road in has been sealed, and the Bloomfield track cut the time to get to Cairns by hours. I'll be wandering all over the country next year so may end up your way at some stage.

  303. 2:25 I've got a similar photo somewhere but the downdraft is circular. It's a phenomenon (I think) where there is a part of the atmosphere where the clouds are that causes a sudden downward pressure due to cold. Kind of like a microburst in a storm. It's trippy to see in real life.

  311. Yeah, nah. I'm glad it was just an April Fools joke. Ian, the best way to test this is to spread some Vegemite on a Tim Tam and let us know how it tastes :) Or, drill a hole through the centre with a small drill bit and fill the centre with Vegemite.

  313. Did you work out the reason why those choc coated caramel toffee lollies are called 'Fantales'? They were a staple in picture theatres in Australia for years. I started collecting the wrappers and began linking each numbered and categorised 'Fan Tale' into continuous rolls. I basically categorised and organised the wrappers and kept them in special containers. They were like an encyclopedia of movie stars on the wrappers. You would be guaranteed to get one full story on a wrapper, with portions of other stories at the top and bottom where the machine cut the long wrapper feed.

  318. I watched the original and found it to be an example of very good investigative journalism. This follow-up is quite brilliant. Especially your final comments about '...if Apple started treating their customers properly..." Great stuff. Oh, I am not an Apple person. I worked in a university environment many years ago and had to know Macs and PCs (I was an IT admin type person), and I lived in a household for a while that were all Mac/iPhone users...and I became the deFacto troubleshooter. But other than that, my knowledge is minimal at best. However, based on my experience with Apple, I wouldn't want to do business with them as a customer.

Yes, I lived in that country for some time. And the story wasn't so much 'debunked', more like clarified. Our Aboriginal Culture is rich and complex. Well-worth researching.

  327. I had a little 'discussion' with a few people about Inland Taipans and Coastal Taipans on the original video. The coastal taipan is very aggressive, whereas the Inland is much more docile. Docile to the point where a bloke on an oil search crew I worked on carried one into the mess thinking that it was a Black-headed python (Inland Taipans often have a dark head which can confuse a snake noob). I would much prefer to come across an Inland Taipan than a Coastal one. Why? Because I've come across Coastals and they can be super aggressive, much like an Eastern Brown when stirred up.

  328.  @jordanekl5383  This comment is typical of someone who has been called out on their lack of knowledge about a subject. 1: The ONLY way Gold can 'dissolve' in water is when it is in a flowing stream/river with other harder aterials wearing it down. You know that fine Gold that panners find? Yeah mate, that was former nuggets that got worn down. 2: Gold rusts away? One of the least reactive elements on the planet rusts? Damn, I guess when I worked in the industry and the mine used caustic Carbon (highly corrosive) to separate the Gold from the Cyanide slurry, they were losing heaps of gold in solution. 3: If you'd like to know more about Gold and how it is extracted and purified, feel free to ask. But hey, don't pretend you know what you're talking about if you don't. Because you never know when someone who has worked in the game is reading.
    7
  329.  @jordanekl5383  You said that Gold rusts and decays. No, it doesn't. Gold can't rust, and Gold can't decay. It can be eroded by constant rubbing by harder materials which results in what's known as 'powder Gold'. It's very fine, but it never 'rusts away' like steel, nor does it 'decay' like wood. It remains the element that it is. You said in an earlier comment, "Have you seen what happens to Gold if left in normal tap water?" Nothing happens. And that is even knowing the fact that the strongest solvent on the planet is water. Most materials, elements, and compounds will dissolve in water, given enough time. However, Gold doesn't. It just gets ground into finer pieces. Your earlier arguments with the other commenter were full of misinformation. If Gold could rust or decay over even thousands of years, there would be no Aztec and Inca artifacts. There would be no Gold clad masks from thousands of years ago. They would have decayed beyond recognition.

  336. 3:25 The big problem with a lot of usually city drivers on outback highways is that they sit so close behind a semi that they can't see what's coming, even if it is a dead flat, open highway. All they need do is back off a hundred metres and have a peak. Most cars/SUVs/4Wds have enough acceleration to safely pass without going in blind.

  338. That sausage roll looks better than anything I've seen at home LOL. I think our love of coffee comes from the Italian/European influence we have. I always thought US coffee was better (though not having tasted it) than Aussie coffee. It wasn't until I got older that I heard that US coffee is just strong, bitter grounds. Australian coffee is constructed with care and love. Strong, yet not bitter.

  339. I like watching these videos, MN Safety. I live in sub-tropical Australia and don't see snow. However, if I ever end up somewhere where it does snow, I'll have a basic education on how not to drive in icy conditions...not that I think I need it. I've had a lot of experience driving in slippery mud conditions in mountains, so I guess that's similar.

  340. John Sizemore, yes, there are supporters that are outside the stereotype, but it seems that many of the non-stereotypical Trump supporters have changed their views. One possible reason could be is that rather than blindly follow, they actually thought critically and with logic and looked at the whole picture and saw through the veiled MAGA bullshit behemoth. They saw that the lies, hypocrisy and downright treasonous actions weren't just 'Fake News' conspiracies. Trump operates by repeating bullshit often enough to convince some people that it is true. Eventually, they even believe such preposterous tales as his excuse for stating (while standing next to Putin) that there is no reason to believe that Russia "would be" involved in election tampering. Donald Trump may have just gone down in history as an excellent bullshit artist, much like Christopher Skase and Alan Bond, Two infamous Australian entrepreneurs who famously/infamously crashed and burned. But when he borderline (so far) illegally attains POTUS staus and then proceeds to manipulate legislation and taxation to benefit himself and a select few others, well that's Dr Evil shit. He'll be remembered as 'America's Big Mistake' and I reckon his infamy will relegate Nixon to just another story. The Trump fiasco will be remembered for years. Perhaps longer than the Reagan and Bush cluster-fucks. The funniest thing about Trump is he thinks he is wheeling and dealing Putin and Lil Kim. That alone should show people that he's way out of his league politically.

  341. Yeah, Ian, I agree. As much as I love the idea of small-time supercar makers, yes, I still consider the Vector W8 my Grail car. If I won a big lottery I'd hunt one down. I just see this as a great idea that has been choked by budget versus aspiration constraints, and the developers are doing an Elon by promising diamonds and delivering Zircons.

  343. 6:10 I feel many instances of people not getting out of the way of emergency vehicles comes from the fact that most modern cars are basically soundproof boxes. The people driving them lose a certain sense of awareness when driving with the windows up and the stereo on. And mirrors? Some folk consider them just decorations. I'm a bit (well, maybe a lot) old school. I tend to have a window at least halfway down on either side of the car so I can hear, as well as see (with my mirrors and eyes) what's going on around me.

  344. Frill necks are the BEST lizard! No, they don't spit venom hehehe. They will run on their hind legs at trippy speeds to get away. They will rise up on their back legs and tail and flate out that big frill to scare large potential predators. They will also try to lay flat against a tree trunk. As you approach, They'll move sideways around the trunk to try and stay out of site. They are way cool! The longest I've seen was nearly 2 metres long, 5 feet from nose to tail tip.

  351. I grew up using ft/lb for torque doing mechanical work, so in that context, I can relate to foot/pound easier than Newtonmeters. However, my new torque wrenches have both measurements so I'm learning to use Nm. As for vehicle torque and horspers, I am easy with both measurements.

I've experienced one night in a similar environment with no way of repelling the bitey bugs other than a sleeping bag. I had to keep part of my face exposed so I could breathe. In the morning I discovered that during the minimal sleep patches I got, the mozzies had been on my eyelids. They were swollen to the point that I could barely open them. Yeah, nah.

  355. The first time I was exposed to real chemistry was when I was about 7-years-old. One of my school friends had one of those old-school chemistry sets that were sold as kids toys. His parent built him a 'laboratory' just outside the house. Any way, he showed me how to make a bomb by mixing, if memory serves correct, Condy's Crystals (Potassium Permagernate?) and sulphuric acid with something else. It was impressive enough to make me love and fear chemistry.

  359. When will these corporately minded fuckwits realise that health care is not a privilege, it is a right! A right that governments, when they were formed, took the responsibility of providing, along with roads, buildings and support for communities. NO-ONE should die because they can't afford healthcare. An attitude of healthcare only for those who can afford it is a sign of a sick society.
    7
  360. Links to your sources? Having asked that, I should say that the reason immigrants may be receiving more than your average US worker is the piss-poor state of the US wage system. Something that most Americans accept. In many states you have a minimum wage for citizens that barely covers food, let alone accommodation. Then, you have a health system designed to make doctors, hospitals, and pharmacists insanely rich at the expense of citizens. Neither Dems nor Republicans are going to change that. You numptys need to stand up and not fight immigration, but fight the financial divide between the rich and poor in your country. Bur hey, it's easier to blame immigration than to look in the mirror and see what you allow to happen every day in your own country; the rich like Trump, Bezos, Musk et al screwing you over.

  373. EDIT: Ian, I wrote this before I watched the video. I had to smile when I was listening to your reaction after posting it. When I first saw the rise in drift racing, I wrote it off as just a silly fad. I mean, what can you do by deliberately losing control of your car? But then I started to actually watch how it worked. These drivers sit on the extreme edge of control, more than in conventional racing. Traditional racing relies on tyre grip. This racing relies on being able to 'control' a vehicle that has essentially lost control. It's pretty damned special.

  387. Trivial safety tip from an ex-driver. If you're at a set of lights, it is good practice to learn to apply the emergency/park/hand brake. Why? The forces applied to your body (and sometime the surprise) if you get rear-ended will pull your foot off the brake, causing your vehicle to ricochet forward, sometimes clear across the road or possibly into cross traffic. Having the handbrake applied mitigates that lurch forward and may prevent a more serious situation. Just remember to release the emergency/park/hand brake when the lights go green.

I have no doubt that our current Prime Minister will now suck Trump's nubbin on this issue.

He said he barely felt the bite. Oh, it wasn't the snake that really killed him. It was the incompetence of the hospital he attended that caused him to suffer for 2 weeks before organ failure killed him. Long story for another time.

  401. @DaveOz I only saw your comment after I went on a geeky ramble about our Base 10 counting system and how well the Metric system works in that space as opposed to imperial. If I'd read your eloquent statement, I wouldn't have bothered :)

  402. I'm still trying to decipher this. So...he says what he said, then says no I didn't, that's fake news. Then he says after the footage, no I didn't say that fake news. So mathematically...fake-fake+fake-fake? Or fake+fake+fake? Or could it be that he is in early dementia like Trump?

  403. The 'foreign' cars entering the Bathurst races disappointed me as a kid. I hated the idea that they were moving away from strictly production vehicles. I never really appreciated the Jags and Nissans etc. but begrudgingly realised they were better engineered than a lot of our locally produced vehicles.
    5
  404. I once owned a 1967 VE Valiant (Australia) with the slant-6 motor. They were super strong and gutsy. Legend has it that Chrysler replaced the slant sixes with the 245 and 265 hemis because they weren't making any money on parts for the 225s.

  405. 6:52 Yeah, cops catching a trail bike on the footpath...

  406. I love these boats. The pilots are crazy!

  408.  @Mike-zx1kx  Touché. The sad thing is, we've been warned about our current scenario for many decades. Yet, we're still doing sweet bugger all to remediate anthropogenic climate change influences.

  409.  @daveamies5031  Absolutely, Dave. Daylight Saving is a pointless exercise in Queensland, even as far south as Brisbane.

  410. I was about 10 years old when I read about the Coelacanth in a Readers Digest book about unusual animals. I have been fascinated by the fish for the past 50 years.

  413. My eldest daughter is an adult entertainer. I once shared a link to an interview with her on social media and commented how proud I was of her. You can imagine the hate I received, and the i**est allegations...from the same type of people who watch porn and objectify women.

  414. Mark King exposes exactly how racist he is. Can't handle the truth ya Redneck.

  415. I'm really glad you made this video. Once upon a time, we used to say, "Don't feed the trolls". But nowadays trolling has stooped to much lower levels than the past. I enjoy your work Lilly. Thank you.
    5
  416. Jerry Classing Love your work, and I agree. Rumour has it that Chrysler Valiant replaced the slants with the 245s and 265s because they weren't making money on parts for the slants.

  417. 12:10 I hope everyone saw the snake being given right-of-way across the road.

  418. It's a beast of a thing! I had an XR Fairmont with a 289 in it for a little while in the 70s. It had a V8 sound but yeah, nothing like a big banger like that.
    5
  419. Golden 'Two-Miles' nowadays. The Super Pit is an amazing feat of human engineering, and the more amazing thing is that the owners have been test drilling up to 2-kilometres deep if I'm correct, and suggest they can extract another 9 million ounces and be viable until at least 2035. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for the insight.

  423. Thank you, Simon, and your team, for actually unbiasedly reporting on this interview. I haven't watched any other analysis of this from left or right media because I know that both would throw their spin on it. Facts are far better.

  424. Back in the day we had a place in our city (they were popular around Oz) called the 'Pancake Manor'. My favourite meal was Californian Pancakes. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, maple syrup and a big dollop of whipped butter. Is that an American thing, or did I fall in love with a lie?

  425.  @OzGeologyOfficial  Rock n Roll!

  426. I went to the first-ever Truck Grand Prix in Australia. It was held at the big Calder Park Thunderdome complex in 1988 (if memory serves correct), and I was lucky enough to get a VIP pass because a mate managed a fuel depot in the town I was living in. We drove five hours through the night to get there early. What an awesome day.
    5
  427. Yeah, I lost the invitation too.

  428.  @TheReptileBloke  Hey buddy. Specifically Mango Hill on the North side of Brisbane. Feel free to share mate. I'm glad people like it. Full 40-minutes will be up once I've edited it all together.

  430. I too was astounded at how the protection system all but failed in this scenario.

  431. If I'm correct, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari were all tractor manufacturers initially. Mahindra is the worlds largest manufacturer of tractors at the moment. They sell 4WDs now that are damned solid workhorses out of the box. Rear Eaton diff locker standard, full ladder chassis, Borg Warner gearbox and transfer case, and a 2.2 litre intercooled turbo diesel. All that and more for about 40K Australian.
    5
  432. I've been spending some time trying to find a video of Dick Johnson's XB Falcon from 1977. The only stuff I found was a Scalextric car and another 1/12 scale model. Any XA-XC series videos are Moffat's or collector's videos. Frustrating. I did find some A9/X videos (my second favourite car behind the XA or XB). I won't post them here, but I'll work out a way to get the links to you. I have some stuff to send to you when I am rich enough to pay the postage. Take care you wonderful people.

  433. Love your music, mate. And your mini docos.

  434. Damn you to HECK! I'm watching this at about 6pm (just after you uploaded) and I have nothing to put in with my rice besides a tin of Baked Beans (payday will be Thursday). So now I'm putting a few things on my shopping list so I can cook up a storm in a few days. Pop over and I'll share.
    5
  435. This is an Australian story: I was once booked onto a return flight in the same seat' A1. On the original flight, it was an emergency seat and I was treated specially as those in the emergency exits get treated. On the return flight, it was a different plane and A1 was a First Class seat. I thought it a bit weird, then even weirder when they offered me champagne or juice as soon as I sat down. Just before the flight was due to depart, I was advised in a condescending manner that there had been a mistake and I wasn't allowed to sit in First Class. There were 53 passengers on this plane. It was essentially empty, yet they made me move seats to economy. Oh, this was an Airbus. The divider between economy and business/first class was a small half-height wall. It was a 2-hour flight. (edit: I missed the 'was' between I and advised. Changes the whole context of my story).
    5
  436. I seem to remember reading or seeing something about how they introduced divers and boats after a fatality when a car went into the water and no one could save the driver? The thought of building raised barriers wasn't considered because it would interrupt the view (in those days).
    5
  437. 7:15 Yes. At the very least, learn to explain that you know very little of the language of the countries you're visiting, in the language of the countries you are visiting. Keep a notebook with the words you need written down, and add more as you learn. Those tips come not from me, I don't even have a passport. They are things that a Korean traveler I met years ago used to learn more english.
    5
  438. 1:50 I'm relatively old when it comes to Freddo Frogs. I still remember the original chocolate Freddos that looked like the Australian Rocket Frog, and you could eat the back legs first, and then the front legs, and then work your way up the body from either end. No fillings. Just chocolatey frog goodness. Then they changed the frog! They turned it into some bizarre cartoon character that was looking at you as you ate it! And then they gave it INTESTINES! In the form of caramel or raspberry or some other sick, intestine-looking colour. My chocolate frog became a gut-ooze-filled monstrosity that nightmares were borne from.

  439. Rock n Roll, @Atozy. Congrats from one of your '16-year-old fans that borrowed from his mom'.

  441. That was a seriously under-ripe Rockmelon (Cantaloupe). I worked a on a large Rockmelon farm in Australia in the late 80s. When they're ripened properly, they are beautiful melons. Really, really sweet, and slightly soft in the mouth.

  442. I fell in love with the 555 Subarus the first time I saw them in rally. Prior to that I thought the car was all hype. I'd have bought one back then if I'd been rich enough. Beasts.
    5
  443. Check out the geological pattern in Cedar Bay in FNQ. Possibly one of the better examples of what you describe.
    5
  444. I got interested in taxonomy when I was reading about pot as a young teen. The botanical books called it cannabis Sative (of L). I wanted to know what the hell 'of L' was. This was before the Intenet, so it was a book hunt. And then I fell down the rabbit hole of book collecting.
    5
  445. We manifest our thoughts into reality. Ice Cube fell into that trap. Oh, and he got rich, too. Money. The root of all evil. And I'm an atheist.

  446. Being President doesn't make him smart 'M E'. Unless you measure smart in how many people he has ripped off and/or lied to, to get where he is.

  447. Well, that is some bizarre stuff for a tunnel opening. I would expect to see this on a cirque du soleil stage.
    5
  448. This is cool. I've been subbed to Tom Scott for years, and I watched this only a few days ago. Cool!
    5
  449. Keen to watch. Oh, and I think I'm first? EDIT at 15:10 This has been really cool. I know of some of these places, but I'm surprised I had never heard of others. Well worth a Livestream or series of videos.

  453. I wouldn't cotinue to live where my children had to have shooter drills at school. I'd do my very best to remove my kids from a society that considers the need to have shooter drills a normal thing.
    4
  454. I love the ending. It was Pythonesque with old mate in the background trying to rescue his shield.

  455. I knew a bloke in Australia back in the 90s who developed that ultraviolet additive for aircon leak checking. He spent a fair bit of time traveling OS, especially the States to auto aircon conventions promoting the stuff.

  456. Oh, and if you do get to Australia, I will get some kangaroo for you to try. Gamey, but very high in protein and low in fat.

  457. David (EDIT: Scott) needs to have a good cry. It might make a man of him.

  458. @lisc7204  I'll be okay. If it gets gnarly, I'll be packing the tent down and sleeping inside. I've been through a few when I lived up north, so I know how unpredictable and destructive they are. I am definitely not underestimating the potential danger.

  459. I saw a Frill-Necked lizard that was a good metre-long once. It was catching the morning sun on the side of a termite mound. I've got the photo somewhere.

  460. The more I watch your videos, the more enthralled I become. Having been a 'bushie' for years, and having worked in dune country in far western Queensland, I have always assumed that vast sand deposits were always created by wind. I never even thought of mega-tsunamis. Well, honestly, mega-tsunamis have never been in my mindset. I'm 59 years old, and I learn new stuff every day through YouTube nowadays. I was an early WWW adopter and would wade through web pages to gain new knowledge. But nowadays, YouTube, and specifically educational channels like yours, have taught me far more than I would have learned if I'd invested in books and journals alone. The internet/WWW is, as I was telling my non-computer friends in the 90s, is the most comprehensive, constantly updating encyclopedia that humanity has seen. If we can sift through the crap, we find absolute gems of information such as yours.

  461. Brilliant coverage once again. Thankyou.

  462. Be careful of the Minties. They can stick to your teeth and pull fillings. True story.

  463. Studies have shown that whilst a small amount of semen rubbed into the face or ingested has no health benefits or harms, overdoses can lead to minor brain injuries, and if too much is rubbed into the face, it can lead to discolouration of the facial skin. This research may explain why Loren Boebert can't make an intelligent statement and wears a lot of makeup.

  464. UnZud :o). Maori is generally pronounced (by Maoris) as 'Mow (like Mao tze dong)dee'. The 'r' is hard, like a D. Well, that's what I was taught by Maoris. I may get to New Zealand one day. I think it's a beautiful country.
    4
  465.  @jimmccabe801  Exactly. This is why I prefaced my thoughts with '"..it appears to be..." because no, I don't know. I'm not surmising anything.
    4
  466. When the tyre came off at about the 00:52 mark I saw it was heading straight for 'me'. I would have taken a step forward before worrying about the shot of the car sliding sans wheel. That would have hurt.
    4
  467. I was a truck driver for many years, and most vehicles I'd ever driven (truck or car) on unsealed roads were rear-wheel drive. Therefore, I got used to how those types of vehicles reacted on said roads. In the 90s, I started working for a company that made urgent deliveries to coal mines West of where I lived. One day I was in a small, front-wheel drive car delivering some small, yet extremely urgent parts to a mine, along a loose gravel haul road. The haul road was wide. Probably about 50 metres (approx 150 feet) I guess. I was tooling along in this little car at about 120kmh and came to a long, sweeping bend. As I entered I backed off a little and the car stopped following the bend and decided to start skating across the gravel. Now, in a rear-wheel drive vehicle that wouldn't happen due to the inertia of the rear, and if it did, you just give it time to correct before adding any 'gas'. So, I stayed off the gas and the car kept sliding along. I then remembered some side comment I'd heard from a bloke who I knew who played with FWD cars. "If you back off too much, they just slide, so you need to feather the power as you corner..." So I gave it some power and it started to pull itself around the bend. I used the whole arc of the bend, and thank the gods there wasn't a haul truck coming down that side, but I got it back on line. Lesson learned.

  468. 2:10 Hang on one second here! look at the interior of that cab! That is something special.

  469. There are some negative comments about this business. I understand, and I assume the producers do too, that this business isn't the answer to waste recycling. However, it is one small part of the future of waste. We can't keep dumping the stuff we think is useless. I was making coffee tables and bedside tables from waste pallets in the 90s. I was also buying cheap (soon to be) antique radiograms and other items and would do some basic restoration and resell them. No, I didn't make much of an impact either. But, as with this business in the video, I did something. Oh, and as one person commented re 'virtue signaling' for the rich? Well, fine. Some waste gets repurposed and reused, the rich buyers get to look trendy and 'woke', a few people make some dollars from it, and it may even inspire more cottage recycling/repurposing industries. I reckon that's a win all 'round. It won't be too far away in time when it will become mandatory to reuse, repurpose, or refurbish waste as a necessity for maintaining a liveable planet. Eventually, the 'throwaway society' that drives our economy will collapse.

  470.  @ABCNewsIndepth  Awesome! Thank you. I'm really enjoying the In-Depth content so far.
    4
  471. I plan on spending some time at Undarra Nat. Park when I get on the road. That area has always fascinated me. Off-topic. I worked out West in the 70s and saw the dinosaur stampede footprints when they were protected only by a wire fence. There are quite a few places like that out there that were lost to erosion between the 60s and now.
    4
  472. And you freeze your butt off every Winter, and tourists annoy you. You should check out Cape Trib. Yes, people live amongst it. Further, I lived right on the edge of the Daintree World Heritage area, in rainforest. I've also spent quite some time around the Central and Northern NSW coast and yeah, it's pretty too. But it has nothing on the Daintree area, sorry.
    4
  473. I'll apologise beforehand. I've tried Reeces pieces and I can't do them. I guess it's because I figure Peanut Paste (as some of us Aussies call it) is supposed go on bread with lashings of butter, or in Satay. Sorry, but yeah, nah.

  483. That was a very cool video! Great to see stuff like this from OS.

  485. I'm not sure if anyone has said yet, but whenever the question of changing our national Anthem comes up, three songs always rank high in the list of alternatives: Waltzing Matilda I Am Australian I Still Call Australia Home If you see this, Ian (I'll put it on the Discord video ideas too), may I recommend you listen to this version of 'I Am Australian', by The Seekers, a famous Australian band from the 60s. https://youtu.be/pL_JvhfQjms

  488. But @Thunderf00t, it worked on Discovery channel, and it worked on many commercial TV networks. Johnny even got 'me' to watch his video! Kaching! Jackpot! I'm open to UFO/UAP phenomena as much as I'm open to the existence of Yowies. But please, give me clear, unfaked images. It's 2023. Almost every human on the planet has a recording device in their hand. Also, the tech in the average amateur photographer's kit is capable of recording/capturing clear video or images (like my P1000) from a distance. Given that the odds of someone in a position to reliably capture proof of UAPs (okay, ALIENS) is quite high nowadays, it seems strange that if "UFOs are everywhere", we're not seeing clear footage all over TikTok and YouTube. Imagine the views and ad revenue when your genuine Yowie or ET video went viral! Johnny's just cashing in while he can using an age-old technique. Think 'Shark Week'.
    4
  489. No. It was feared that it may be a new strain. BIG difference. And hey, if it had been a new strain and the SA Govt didn't proceed with a lockown and hundreds (possibly thousands) got infected, I'll bet you'd be screaming "WHY DIDN'T THEY LOCKDOWN?!"

  490. The Christmas beetle also has colour changrs like pearl paint.

  491. When 'entertainment' leads to politicians stalking and harassing children, US citizens making death threats against, and even shooting at other US citizens due to said 'entertainment', then we need to redefine what 'entertainment' is.

  495. Flashback to 1967/8. Outback South Australia. An old drilling truck rumbles past, kicking up clouds of dust. A few minutes later an FX Holden, towing an 18-foot caravan drives by. A young woman is driving, with her two young children alongside her. A 7-year old girl, and a young fella of about 4. They're following her husband who is in the drill rig, to the next camp in the middle of nowhere.
    4
  496.  @Tapecutter59  True that. I was 17 when I first started working in the seismic oil search industry, using vibrator trucks or explosives, and geophones to get a picture of the underground geology and likely places oil might be. That was in the late 70s, early 80s. My curiosity about geology was piqued when seeing inside the recording truck, and the print-outs of the underground structure that came back after the data was processed in the US. It took about a month to get the deciphered data back. The tapes were flown out from the nearest airstrip at every opportunity. We worked throughout the Central Western Queensland area from the border of NT to East of Barcaldine, in a wide band that covered up near ASramac and South to Blackall, Isisford and other areas. It was all an adventure for a young bloke like me at the time.

  502. I saw this video prior to this. I'm keen to hear your take. She was definitely a driver. A very good driver.

  503. If you go through the slo-mo frame by frame (if you're using a keyboard, pause, and use the ',' and '.' keys to go frame by frame) from 6:24, it looks like the front door skin flexes and warps. It could be just shockwaves or smoke but I think it actually flexes and goes back to shape. EDIT: The 45 buckshot footage definitely shows the doors flex at 9:25

  504. Are you sure this isn't an escapee Onion story?

  505.  @NebraskaGonvilleJones  Haha. Nah, mate. They were so intent on this fight they didn't care. But, I reckon if it was a pair of Browns I'd still do the same. It was just fascinating to watch. I'm just glad I could share it with people.

  511. Hi Maria. I worked for Ansett (air freight) in the 90s, before the airline got stolen from us. Yes, we have extremes of weather. Always have. But from my experience, the weather events are getting more intense and erratic.
    4
  512. I'm 2:45 in. You know I love your family, and I hope you know I don't tar all Americans with the same brush. However, I see a little proud American defensiveness creeping into your tone. I'm only a few minutes in and I haven't watched it all the way through, but mate, you deserve to have a little defensiveness. America isn't quite the shitshow it is sometimes portrayed to be. I've spent the past 20 years online and I haven't 'met' a shit American in chatrooms, BBS's, IRC, etc. ever. The only bias I have is that the US has an extreme level of mass shootings compared to any other country on the planet, including the lawless ones. Your citizens need to get that sorted, and you ALL need to start demanding free healthcare. For the supposed bastion of freedom the US claims to be, the government sure doesn't care about the people that live there when it comes to keeping them alive. It seems to me (from all I've seen and heard) that only the rich can afford proper health care. Anyway, I'm going to shut up and keep watching now that I've dumped my opinions in the thread.

  514. 17:30 Wow! I like that idea. (This is not spam...honest) I have bought a whole heap of products from 'Coconut Bowls' recently. I bought a small sample pack first to see what the quality was like and then decided to order enough bowls, cutlery, and bamboo straws to send to all my rellies and friends. I know this isn't related to the restaurant giveaway thing, but the company has worked with locals to produce beautiful, inexpensive, sustainable bowls, cups and other products. Sorry, I know it is a tangent, but these bowls and stuff are awesome.

  522. The doomsday fish is believed to rise to the surface from deep oceans when there is a deep undersea earthquake. Hence, the belief that catching one is a harbinger to a doomsday event likre a mega tsunami. I think the Japanese coined the term for the fish.

  526. It never ceases to cynically amuse me when I hear our PM and Defence Minister warning about the dangers of China while at the same time exporting copious tonnes of coal and other raw materials to that country. It's no surprise that when Scott Morrison went to the latest climate summit, he had zero plans to cut coal production or fossil fuel dependence. One more interesting fact. If Australia's coal exports were included in our CO2 figures, we would be the largest emitter of greenhouse gasses on the planet.

  528. Thomas, the amount you get isn't overly huge, no. If you harvested efficiently, you could make enough for an experience. There are other wattles that contain more. However, those grasses would produce way more (insert chosen drug here) in terms of weight. I learned a lot from this video, but it leaves enough out to inspire us to research more.

  529. Yeah, we got pretty wet. And I'm above flood levels. The amount of rain inundated the area where my fridge and washing machine live and stuffed them. Bus leaked and ruined the bus floor. Septic tank backed up for days. But hey, at least I didn't have a house to lose.

  530. I really enjoyed your story. Very cool.

  531. Big all-wheel-drive vehicles leave me in conflict. One the one hand, yeah, they're kick-ass and you can put a house on them. On the other hand, in reality, they are very restricted in where they can go both legally and physically. Plus, the damage they can do to tracks and dunes is horrendous. I know, the weight is distributed across six or eight axles and big tyres, but they still chew up tracks. However, I'd love to see them tackle the CREB track. Back in the 80s, the Cairns Electricity Board used an old WW! single track tank to get through there in the wet season, and that was when it was properly maintained.

  534. Aboriginal people weren't counted in the official census figures until after a referendum in 1967. They had voting rights (except for a couple of states) but weren't counted in the population and separate laws applied to aboriginals. The referendum recognised them as citizens of Australia. Interestingly, there has been a common belief since the 1970s that aboriginals were classified under the 'Flora and Fauna' Act prior to the referendum. However, this claim has turned out to be a myth and originated as a metaphorical statement made by an academic who compared the lack of rights of aboriginal peoples to that of flora and fauna. To be honest, I think that the governments of the day spent most of their time pretending that aboriginal didn't exist, such was the way they were treated. It is no secret that Lang Hancock, a Western Australian mining magnate from the 60s and 70s, once approached the WA govt with an idea to put drugs in the water supply of remote aboriginal communities to render them sterile. Yes, even as late as the 60s/70s, genocide was discussed.

  538. In the 70s, we had a local warehouse-type grocery store here in Queensland called 'Franklins'. It was essentially a warehouse with stock in the bulk boxes. You had to write the price of the item on the packaging supplied Nikko pens. It was around half the price of regular supermarkets. They changed business model a few years later and eventually became a small-time supermarket business.

  546. The Kia Stinger is a formidable performance vehicle. It out-accelerates and out-performs the SS Commodores without trying. Rear-wheel drive 3.3l twin-turbo V6 with an 8-speed trannie, launch control and it has an LSD amongst other performance bits (Brembo brakes etc) and they're cheaper than a Commodore was/is.

  547. I was reading the comments. They have reinforced my understanding that we have still have a very unhealthy racist ideology amongst white Australians. I'm ashamed of my history. But I won't hide behind the "If it wasn't for us white people, you'd all be still using rocks for tools" trope to hide that shame. A majority of white Australians cover their ears when being told about the real history of Australian Aboriginals, because it conflicts with propaganda they were taught as children.

  549. I'm Australian and can easily understand you. You don't talk too fast. Your words flow into each other with no micro-gaps, the way many youtubers speak (or edit their speech). It's easy for me to understand because the average Australian accent exhibits a similar pattern. I watched a documentary years ago that described the average Aussie language/speaking style as 'lazy'.

Well, I was with the bloke who tried to coax it out from under some dozed up scrub and he passed me as it came out after him. I went in a different direction. It was a monster and it was fast. I had so much fun in the 70s LOL...

  576. Memories of riding around in my mate's Canary Yellow Sandman. His GF in the front and me and anyone else in the back. Now, with the Sandman, in Summer, you had two choices when riding in the back. Back window closed and slowly cook in the back, or back window flipped up so some cooler air would suck in. The problem with the latter choice was if people in the front had their windows down, as they usually would, exhaust fumes would suck into the back. My mate's Sandman 253 ran really rich, so it was never a fun time.

I had a severe case of calcific tendonitis in my shoulder some years ago. Basically, it is when calcium crystals form on the tendons and they scrape against the muscle and bone. If you try to move your shoulder, it feels like serrated blades are being ripped through your muscles.

  593. I worked in Western QLD for a few years in oil search in the 70s. I would spend all day working in full sun in a pair of stubbies (shorts), thongs, and sometimes a hat. I have also spent some years living right on the coast, beachcombing, and camped just off the beach. I can attest that there is a difference in the way the sun 'burns' in central Australia compared to the coast. Further, the sun, or more, its UV rays from my experience are harsher further south compared to the tropical North. I grew up when the Ozone hole was a real concern, and remember the scientists on TV saying that it would take 20 or 30 years to see a reduction in the thinning of the Ozone layer (it's not a 'hole' per se) and to see any thickening at all. I recall reading some years ago that the 'hole' wasn't as big as it used to be but I haven't done any recent searching. Oh, no skin cancer yet as far as I know and the majority of my life has been in the full sun.

  598.  @SilvaDreams  But when mass media, advertising and social media tell people they NEED to have the latest and greatest otherwise you're worthless, then says, hey, you're fine on minimum wage, just budget better, it grates. It's much like the whole, 'work hard and you too could be a billionaire like me' attitude. It's rubbish. A living wage where people can pay rent and utilties, and food, and still be able to have some 'nice things' shouldn't be a big ask for the majority of the nation that carries the load. Paying someone 5 bucks an hour and then saying, "be nice to EVERY customer, no matter how big an arsehole they are, and you'll make rent this week" is no way to have to live.

  599. Back in the 70s, on the Sunshine coast in Queensland, there was 'The House of Bottles. An entire house constructed using old beer bottles, with a 'tower' shaped like a stubbie bottle. Down the road was an entire castle, but not built from bottles. Pretty sure both attractions are long-gone..

But hey, look at our mass-shooting record compared to the US. Well-implemented firearms ownership laws work. It's too late for the US though. That place has become a gun lover's utopia. Better to have open gun laws and children dying every day from gun violence than to hinder that 2nd Amendment bull-kaka.

  616. The accident compensation 'No win No pay' lawyers have exploded in Australia. Shine, Maurice Blackburn, and Slater & Gordon come to mind. Australia seems to follow US trends and overtake them to the extreme. For example, per capita, we own more mobile phones than the US. As for litigation, I remember being surprised many years how people in the US would sue for the slightest chance of a payout. Fast forward and today, Australia has a reputation as a leader in people starting trivial lawsuits. Toilets: Many years, a politician over here started a campaign to have toilet cubicle doors open outwards, rather than inwards. The rationale behind the campaign was that if someone collapsed in the toilet, they could block the door from opening if they collapsed against it, making rescue/first aid very difficult. Today most public toilet facilities have sliding or outward opening doors.

  621. In my experience, the biggest issue with respect to houseplants and other nursery bought plants is the cheap plastic pot. It's scary to think how many end up in landfill or get left in stacks in back yards. Many folk will buy a plant in a cheap pot, buy a pretty pot to suit their decor and then repot it (or not) into the new pot. The pot the plant grew up in is now rubbish.

  622. You'd think he'd use reverse! LOLZ. On another note, I knew a truckie who picked up fish from Kuranda years ago, and when he'd back the trailer down the ramp to load directly from the boats, sometimes he'd have to hang the last two axles of the trailer over the edge of the ramp to reach the boat due to the tide. He was also a master of driving one of those rigs over that slippery red dirt around Normanton.

  626. Up where I'm from in Far North Queensland, there are...or maybe were because I think they've finally laid the corrugated concrete on all the steep bits... dirt sections of the Bloomfield Track that are as steep, or steeper. Almost impassable in the Wet, but tourists and some locals still attempt it. Another steep track is the old CREB Track. A challenge in the Dry, and smart people don't even think about it during the Wet season. All dirt. Extremely steep gradients. Worth doing a YouTube search for the CREB Track, Ian.

But more importantly, they need to protest loudly and have that Government forcibly removed from office. Giving him a place in a fictitious afterlife only allows Christian folk to stand by and do nothing with the false belief that he'll suffer for his sins against humanity after he dies. (End rant.

  636. Human influenced Climate Changed was warned about by scientists back in the mid-30s. Three-parts-of-F-all has been done to mitigate our pollution since then. Very very few countries are actually doing anything constructive, perhaps least of all Australia, a country that urgently needs to cut its reliance on the coal and LNG export industry and make use of the vast tracts of open land we have that is ideal for not only wind farms, but also solar thermal plants. Oh, and if you raise the panels a few metres off the ground on a solar farms, you can grow stuff under them. You know, like fodder or food crops. Or even biofuel crops. We have solutions, we just need political parties that work for the people, not corporations.

  650. I rent a patch of dirt on one of the last rural zoned blocks in the Mango Hill area of northern brisvegas. I've been here five years and have watched staged development on the Western side of the property. It is exactly as Jordan explained. I didn't realise that was why certain areas were left undeveloped for a year or more, other than the roads, water, sewage, and power lines that were constructed. Trickle-fed development. Sadly, the 20 hectare block I'm on (septic and rain water tanks because we're on the other side of the road from the development) was sold and the new owner has applied for a rezoning to build 62 housing units on the few hectares of usable land. In a few years, the following animals will lose their current bush habitat that I'm also lucky enough to live in: Long nosed Potoroos. Koalas. Wallabies. Pythons. Other snakes. Lace Monitors. And about 10 or more different bird species.

  655. 4:37 This part is interesting. It seems (in my uneducated opinion) that 'The Department' is saying, "Oh yeah, but the unused flood water will help the river systems." I would want to see proof that the property was being reprofiled to allow overland flow to reach the river systems. Remember Cubby Station? It was holding back more overland flow water than there was in Sydney Harbour.

  656. 5:20 Okay, I'm calling Moo Poo here. My guess is, that they have a prototype V16 and couldn't supply the motor. If you can afford to buy the first of a particular 'supercar', you don't 'choose' a V8 based on your local laws.

  657. With the pathetic minimum wage in the US, it's no wonder no-one wants to work. For many, it costs them more to go to work than it does to stay home, if they can afford to rent a home. I feel so sorry for workers in the US getting paid minimum wage. It's just cruel.

  658. Sorry for the multiple comments. I became a fan of modern military aircraft when I worked airside in the freight industry. I got to meet an FA-18 pilot before an airshow in our city. He described how efficient the aircraft was by stating that one of these jets could take from Brisbane some 800km away and release ordinance on our city of 75000 people, completely wiping it out before anyone knew what was going on. On the days before the show, he showed everyone at the airport how nimble the aircraft was by taking off and instantly going vertical until he was out of sight. Insane weaponry.

When you go from being in a marginal society with FA opportunities, and you manage to be in the right place at the right time, doing what you do, and become filthy rich, you eventually become part of that 'rich' society, and forget where you came from. Your alliances change. Your ideologies change. You become a different person.

  662.  @mr.o6240  You still are missing the point. It's not about 'capitalist society'. It's the way suddenly getting rich and falling into that society changes your perceived values. Yes, we mostly live in a capitalist society, That's obvious. I'm talking about how money on tap changes a person.

  665. It's trippy. In the early 80s, a friend related a trip he did to Europe in the late 70s and they had a heatwave there where people died and the locals were swimming in the Trafalgar Square fountain. It was 23C. I really feel for folks in Europe suffering these (for them) extreme heat conditions. I can only come to grips with this by considering how I'd handle a Winter averaging 2C. I feel confident that one of two things would happen: 1: I'd stay inside in the warmth all Winter and go broke buying gas for my heater.. 2: I'd go outside for 20 minutes and die. I can't cope comfortably with 15C.

  669. 2:35 Cairns is pronounced like 'cans'. Forget the 'R'. As someone suggested, it's on the North East coast, not West. Also, things get better once you head North of Cairns. The North used to be my stomping ground. 6:40 Yep, you got the pronunciation correct. I currently live in BrisVegas. 11:10 Yep, that's the 'MCG', Melbourne Cricket Ground. Considered by some the home of AFL. Up until a year or so ago, you could climb Uluru. However, due to its cultural value and importance, climbing the rock was stopped. If you hunt for 'Rozalyn Veersma', Roz's Moto Adventure Ride Australia on YT, her video where she visits Kata-tjuta and Uluru will give you an idea of just how big 'The Rock' is.

  670. 8:25 I'm 58, and way back in around 1978, I found a book called 'From The Movement Toward Revolution'. It was your average, 'we need to change the world' hippy stuff (rock on my fellow old hippies). There was a few pages (with illustrations) that compared the average muscle car to some early concept smart-type cars. Yep, they were right. We don't want tiny little things that only carry people. We want monsters that will carry the family and half the house at 100mph anywhere. Small cars are pointless...(roll on the inner-city Prius hipster environmental vandal comments)

  672. Ian is all rally fanboy now. That's very cool. Personally, rally is far more technical and dangerous than any other mortorsport. These guys drive at the very edge of no control.

  675. 8:00 Fun fact. When I lived in Far North Queensland ten years ago, there was a public phone in the village near where I lived, and one in the community further down the road. You couldn't use coins in the phone. You had to buy a phone card from the local store if you wanted to make a call. Why? Because in remote areas where there isn't surveillance or lots of witnesses, phone booths that took cash were a gold mine for travelers or locals short on cash. Making them free was a wise economical decision with respect to maintenance and repair by Telstra.

  676. Ian, wild kangaroos (and even domesticated ones) can be real arseholes. They'll get an idea in their head that some random human is a threat and will attack if you don't back down. Many Australian zoos have open areas where people can interact with kangaroos because greys are generally kind of okay when they've had a lot of human interaction. however, the zoos also have areas where the roos can go to get a break from humans and they also have signs warning people not to let their kids approach a roo unsupervised. They can hurt. I have spent a fair portion of my life in the scrub seeing everything from Rock Wallabies to big Red Kangaroos, and I wouldn't approach or have a stand-off with a wild roo. I'd shoot it and eat it if I had to but I wouldn't try and make friends with it. I'd much prefer to admire them from a distance if they weren't my food item for the day.

Didn't see another car or truck on the entire journey. I guess the locals were smarter than us QLD tourists LOL...

  680. I watched this segment of the trial all the way through. My opinions at this point are too biased to type. Am I wrong that this lying, dirty thing used a tragedy and a debunked conspiracy to make a profit through his business? Is it probable that he exploited the deaths of children for financial gain? Is it plausible, that his actions on-air incited others to threaten the lives of parents who lost their children in the massacre of 14 December 2012? And is it probable that this dirt bag is milking the attention from this trial for profit?

  682. Kenny seems really upset that his series has been somehow disrespected by people applauding a foreign driver for winning. I also think he was highly offended when one of the NASCAR drivers in an interview asked the hypothetical question, "Do we suck?" Geez. C'mon, man. We love (or at least I do) enjoy all motorsports. And Kenny saying, "They all want to come and race with us..." is an untruth. Drivers from all different classes and types swap and change. I agree with you, Ian. Rally drivers are the best drivers. I doubt a NASCAR driver would be able to deal with that style of racing.

However, if you want a good quality, robust, and comfortable setup that you could live in 24/7, and could go to just about any vehicle accessible place in the country, then the entire cost, including the vehicle, is a wise investment. If I had the money, I'd be spending big too.

  692. A little history. Back in the 90s, lamb was one of the cheapest meats you could buy. I used to get it for about 1 dollar a kilo for entire side of lamb, cut into chops, roasts etc by the local butcher. That works out to about 20 dollars for roughly a month's worth of meat for a family. The board that oversees lamb sales and production decided that that wasn't good enough and embarked on an advertising campaign to increase the popularity of the meat. It started with, of all people, Tom Cruise. The ad campaign became super famous and lamb rocketed to the top of the popularity list (and cost). Nowadays, lamb is one of the most expensive regular meats you can buy in Australia. There are many, many classic lamb adverts. If you're interested, this is the first (I think) lamb ad that started the phenomenon: https://youtu.be/fH_Ar2h6Q-U And for another take on the ad, watch this one after you watch that first one: https://youtu.be/m3r33HmAfyo

  700. 1:20 I want to comment now, but I have to discipline myself and wait for the full story...It appears to me that the upper echelons of the Chinese Government realised that their ideas of opening up free enterprise/capitalism for the people 18 odd years ago led to a situation where they thought they were losing control. Hence a graduated, yet forceful destruction of previous freedoms by the government that granted them. Your experience over the past 10 years also correlates with the paranoic attempted annexing of the South China sea by creating islands, and more recently the attempt to subvert the rights of Hong Kong citizens. On the flip side, that opening up of trade by China way back is why many US towns and cities have collapsed today. It happened here in Australia too. We manufactured everything from matches to TVs to cars and ships up til around the 80s when we started seriously internationally trading

  701. @statphantom When I left work and went to uni as a mature student (I was 34), I got into security and web dev. I could write HTML in notepad etc etc. Anyway, I got lazy once I knew what I was doing, so when I had an assignment, I would sometimes build it with an Adobe product, and then edit the code so it didn't look like classic Dreamweaver code. It halved my workload, and given that I was also doing web design for the uni in my first year, then went on to be sys admin in my second year, it wasn't much of an issue. My lecturers knew that I knew what I was doing when it came to HTML, so yeah.

Optional: Put the final Milo mix in the freezer for half an hour to get it really cold.

I also knew a bloke from Bald Hills who had every car he or his father had owned lined up in the backyard, from Model A and T's to a 58 Plymouth hardtop, through to HR Holdens and others.

    2
  736.  @billylionisnotagoat  Well, no. Not a 90cm move. The monsoon trough has progressively 'licked' south over the past 20 odd years. I have seen it progressively reach further South since I was a kid of 13. This year I watched the trough throw south and that system that moved down from about Bundaberg right through into NSW was something that is seen closer to the equator. It was a slow-moving rain pattern that dumped Far North Wet season rains some 1800km further south than normal. It may just have been an anomaly, but given the plethora of weather anomalies across the planet, I'll lean towards Climate Change on a more extreme scale than continental shift. I hear you, but to change our climate the way it's been changing in my lifetime, Australia would have to be where PNG is now if the continental drift was a factor.

  745. 16:10 Not-so-fun fact: In Australia, even in the 1920s and 30s, indigenous Australians were being paid for their labour with tea, flour, sugar, and often rum. And many bigoted Australians (us white and non-white) still blame indigenous Australians for the alcohol abuse issues in their communities. Ironic, no? Oh, and that flour? It was often contaminated with arsenic as a form of attempted genocide. There is also an as yet unproven rumour based on circumstantial evidence that in the 1900s, certain tribes in the Sydney area were given flour that had smallpox sores mixed in with it, leading to a smallpox outbreak that killed hundreds, if not thousands of native peoples. Possibly one of the earlier examples of 'biological warfare'. Happy New Year!

At the tender age of 12, in the 70s, I drove with my parents back from Perth to Brisbane. That was a journey. Three days all up because we had to repair the radiator on the Nullarbor after a kangaroo hit. That took about 8 hours out of the trip.
    2
  751.  @AndrewFishman  Ah, cool. My ex's father owned and ran the Post Office at Milton. One of his four daughters runs it now. It's a beautiful old building, dating from the 1800s.

  753. I seem to remember a somewhat famous golfer who was about to board an aircraft and walked past a spinning propeller, and lost his arm. I think it was in the 70s or 80s? EDIT: I just checked. It was Jack Newton in July of 1983. He was rushing to get into the plane, at night, during a rainstorm, after the pilot had started the engine. He lost his right arm, his right eye, and suffered severe abdominal injuries. He lived.

  754. 31:35 I played that endlessly on PC back in the day. And mostly the Bathurst track.

  755. When I first left school and entered the workforce (here in Australia) in the 70s, it was normal to have a 20-minute 'smoko' (morning break) around 9 or 10am, depending on when you started work, and an hour for lunch, usually around 12 or 1pm. Nowadays I think that most workplaces have a 10-minute morning break and a half-hour lunch.
    2
  756.  @ShadowHawk4219  Sorry LOL. But yeah, it had to be noted.
    2
  757. Okay. 00:10 seconds in. Mt Tibrogargan has been one of those mountains that has been in my head since childhood. As a young kid, we'd drive up the coast and The Mountain was always prominent. In the early 70s, we moved to Perth, and my first geography class (grade 3) used a book that described contours, using Mt Tibrogargan as an example. I told my classmates how I had seen that mountain and they weren't too impressed but my geology/mapping/atlas obsession began. I currently live only an hour's drive from the Glasshouse mountains and I will be climbing Tibrogargan before I leave again. I need to fulfill a chapter in my life. Mt Tibrogargan and Mt Peitre Botte (spelling?) are two peaks I really want to climb before I fall over.
    2
  758.  @DBrealmadrid9606  Yeah, a bit different here. This happened only about six or so years ago. Apparently, it was a 'special' car. Had the see-through engine covers and other accouterments. The same showroom had a $900 000 (AUD) Lexus LFA. The Aventador was tagged at 1.2 million Australian.
    2
  759. 6:15 I did some searching, knowing that the car was obviously something available, or built in Australia in the 60s. I first thought maybe a Sunbeam, then I thought maybe Austin. Finally, I went image-searching for Singer Motor Cars. This is most likely a 1960-ish Singer Gazelle.

  761. When you have construction companies under threat of penalties for running overtime on projects, there will be faults inadvertently (or otherwise) overlooked that could potentially lead to something more horrifying than forced eviction and plummeting property values.

  762. Posting a link to your Suggestions video (sorry, posted multiple) thing. I have one coming with the World Record truck tow...which of course happens here in Australia.

  763. 11:08 This is on my 'get there one day' list. You young folk may refer to it as a bucket list LOL. I too have been a dabbler in photography since I was a kid and was given a KODAK Instamatic camera and a box of flashes.

  768. Yep, we're old. Sixty-odd thousand years of indigenous habitation and hundreds of millions of years of dinosaur habitation. We're a very lucky country. Oh hey, look up a song called 100 Smokes To Kununurra by The Roadtrippers. It may give you some ideas to make a video following the places mentioned in the song. Start at The Lion's Den Hotel at Helenvale in Far North Queensland.

  769. When you see Richard try to climb into the cockpit in the video where they compare lap times, I doubt Abby, being somewhat taller than both Izzy and Richard, wouldn't be able to fit in that custom designed driving space.

  772. @Danger_Mouse3619  thanks for the clarification
    2
  773. 4:45 I believe that is a 1963 EJ Holden Special or Premier with the Whitewall tyre option but no rear louvre in the rear window. I could be way wrong though. And they don't look like option whitewalls so could be aftermarket given the pic was taken in 1969.

  775. I've driven a left-hand drive '68 Mustang over here on the left side of the road. Now that's an interesting experience. It also taught me that once you're inside an old Mustang, driving it down the street, the entire 'Mustang Magic' feeling fades. Yeah, nice looking car. But it's just an old car with a nice paint job and a V8.
    2
  776. The beauty of drifting down a mountain at night is that you can't see the impending death over the side of said mountain...
    2
  777. My opinion is that people are waking up to the fact that you don't need a piece of paper to show your love for each other. Oh, and it's easier to settle with a 'partner' than a spouse in a break-up. However, in Australia a de-facto relationship gives you almost the same rights as a married couple.
    2
  778. 7:10 I've always known that what the media says about the border country was just propaganda. When two societies live close together like that (ignoring Isreal/Palestine), the locals tend to socialise and share their 'cultures' socially with no conflict.
    2
  779. I knew a Systems Engineer in the late 70s (these guys were rare and earned 700 bucks a day back then) who had his home base in Pattaya. He didn't say too much but yeah, big house, lots of staff, an international model for a wife. You know, normal stuff.

  796. We dog people love our furry companions. My old dog, Jack, who passed away some years ago was a bush dog. He slept under my 4WD when I lived in the scrub. If there was a perceived danger about, he'd let out a low, distinctive growl just loud enough for us to hear. Over the years he warned us of snakes, wild pigs, suspect people sneaking through the bush at night, and even a crocodile. He was an awesome dog. His 'sister' is still with me. She's nearly nine now. Jack was nearly 19 years old when he died. Jack was a diver. I have photos from when he was a young dog staying underwater (looking for the rock I threw) for over 30 seconds. This is a short video of when he was about 10 years old I think. He's chasing a rock for me https://youtu.be/hcdmZKeN8aM

  800. @Bobby Sands Quick story. In 2011, my soulmate and I were living in FNQ ( remote Northern Australia). She was diagnosed with brain cancer. She was flown from the remote town to a major city. Next day she was flown to another city with better cancer facilities. Next day, I was flown on priority from the remote town to the city she'd been flown to. I stayed in the hospital for 2 nights myself, albeit on a couch in the quiet room but they didn't kick me out. When relatives arrived we were accommodated in an apartment at a heavily discounted rate (govt subsidised). After her operation. we were flown back home. ALL of the treatment and transport was free. Further, we were also granted more money from welfare (I couldn't work anymore while caring for her) and as a result of that, got free transport back to the city where her family when her health deteriorated. I love where I live.

  804.  @timmack2415  Thanks for watching my back, buddy. I'm not your average 59-year-old. I spent quite some time as an infotech specialist assisting in the management of a university network in the early 2000s. I was a security specialist at the time. But I know there are many folk out there who fall for these scams and it's time YouTube started filtering and blocking those scam comments. It's infotech, not rocket science
    2
  805. My friend, most Aussie kids have no clue about our history. It's a result of the dumbing down in the education system. Yes, there are kids out there who are aware, but many don't want to know. Can't blame them. Society is making the future hard for our kids.

  813. 3:05 I have recently purchased a 2005 Ford Courier with a V6 4.0l SOHC engine. The thermostat housing on this one is plastic and the previoUs owners sold it because their mechanic couldn't pinpoint why it kept losing water and overheating. I can't understand how he didn't see the pink stains all over the housing. I replaced it with an aluminium/aluminum housing that came with sensors for 50 dollars less than an OEM plastic unit. EDIT: The housing is made in two parts and they are bonded together. However, after many heat cycles and possibly having the thermostat replaced, the join weakens and allows water under pressure to escape. Stupid design decision.

  817. Drummer Boy. No, buddy. Two males. One came into the domain of the other. There is a pair (the female is much bigger) that live in and around the shed and another male came in and tried to move in on old mate's territory. Pretty sure this fight started in the rafters and they fell down onto my toolbox. I'll post the full video some time.

  818.  @roninsghost108  Yep. He was doing well. Impressive passing manoeuvre at the bottom of the chase.

  819. My soulmate and I lived out of a 60 series Landcruiser wagon (early 80s model) for 4 years or more. It was a brilliant vehicle. Up North where I call home, a 3WD is a pretty common family vehicle because you need something a bit tougher than your family sedan.

  820. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Chortle, choke, gasp, LOL and LOL again. Ya did well, mate :)

  821. 20:00 Kangaroo is an extremely lean meat. Leaner than most game. Roo needs to be cooked at an extremely high heat for a very short time. Even then, nicely charred but still tender cuts are hard to master. The best way to tenderise roo meat is to marinate it for at least 24 hours, preferably 2 or 3 days in the fridge. The very best way to tenderise roo, or any meat, is to wrap the meat in pineapple rind. The enzyme will break down meat in hours.
    2
  822. 7:10 Agreed. The head on that tripod is some serious tech.
    2
  823.  @vajoynus  But the problem is, you end up doing terrible things to each other because of that pseudo freedom. I mean seriously, it would probably cost you 1 or 2 percent more in income tax to have free healthcare for all. Isn't that a fair price to pay so that everyone has equitable access to healthcare?
    2
  824. Please forgive my possible ignorance in regards to US Law, but can a corporation sue? If this is true, why can't an organization sue? As I understand it, a corporation is considered an entity in the US and therefore has the right to sue. Oh damn, I would love an open investigation into voter fraud in the US. I think it would open up a Pandora's Box on both sides.

  827. I'll have to hunt through your videos to see if you've covered the similarities and differences between Turbochargers and Superchargers. From my minimal knowledge, both are much the same but they derive their boost via different methods. 'The Skid Factory' (an Aussie channel) covers some of the differences and is worth a look.

EDIT: I used to drive a bus from Wujal Wujal to Cooktown, taking dialysis patients to the hospital. When we drove through the gap at Black Mountain, my passengers stayed quiet so as not to disturb the spirits.

  834. 24:40 The origins of ANZAC biscuits: During WW1, people in Australia were sending cakes and other perishable foods by ship across to Europe for their relatives who were fighting over there. However, due to the length of time it took for these foods to reach the troops on the frontline, they'd usually spoiled by the time they arrived. As a result, some clever dick devised a 24:44 recipe for a biscuit/cookie that could survive the long journey and retain some semblence of edibility. The recipe has morphed over the past 100 years though. Some are drier than others. The moister ones contain more Golden Syrup or molasses and therefore don't dry out as much.
    2
  835. 12:00 The Bunnings snag is one slice of bread, sometimes, but not always buttered, with a cheap barbecued pork or beef sausage, slapped on it, then optional barbecued onions. Also, you get achoice of tomato, barbecue, ormustard sauce. Usually about 2 bucks oz. Can of soft drink for a dollar extra. The stalls are usually run by charity/fund raising groups, and are hugely popular with the early arrivers to Bunnings on a weekend if they haven't eaten breakfast before shopping. Nothing like some fat, carbs and onion sugars to kickstart that body.

  850. Oh dear, poor Edward Stack Sr got triggered. Just a heads up mate, your founding fathers had no concept of automatic weapons either when they added the 2nd amendment. I believe that the 2nd amendment also said 'a well-armed militia', not a well-armed bunch of trigger-happy nutters. If those founding fathers knew that their amendment would result in hundreds of kids being shot while they were in school, they would never have added it. As always, right-wing extremists cherry pick their arguments to suit their agenda.

  878. 3:32 Back in the days of blogging, and chat rooms (IRC etc) before YouTube became the place to create, I would always clarify the definition of ignorant if I called someone that word.

  883. I am a minute in and my brain is fighting with the thought that the car is CGI. I know it's the stage lighting but it's really messing with my head. Anyone want to buy a sheep station? I want one of these RRs.

  884.  @daveg2104  That's a funny history when you consider that Cook crashed into the reef LOL. In my early and even high school education on the East coast never really mentioned the Dutch. It was only when I lived in Perth that it was considered important.

  885. Bugger you, Jordan...in the gentlest, nicest way you like it. I have had dogs in my life for my entire 59 years. I currently have two big puppers. A moment and her biggest son. At one point in my life, my soulmate and I had 23 dogs, from pups to adults, on a 50-acre property we rented. I haven't watched to the end but I'm on board for the giant dog training and rescue property thing. I'm povvo, but I'd like to help in any way possible. Puppehs!

  886. @Dan-wi3mq  There was a property at the back of the estate that broke horses. I remember watching them one weekend. Great mobs of roos, too. The freeway hadn't been constructed back. It was kind of outer suburbs/rural. Crazy how different it is there now.
    2
  887. 21:30 I remember the (justified) hype around population growth back hit the year 2000 and 6 billion people. The population growth of humans is similar to a plague. We're very close to reaching 8 billion today.

  888. My dream 'home on wheels' manifested in my thoughts when I first saw (I think) a Daihatsu or Isuzu 6WD long-nose truck. I thought from that day that if I won a lottery, I'd buy a 6WD drive bare tray chassis and build the most kick-arse, go-anywhere self-contained/sufficient truck that my winnings could build.

  889. I met a family that were into Excel racing. They told me it's about the cheapest car racing series you can get into. Spend a few dollars on safety and you're basically racing.

  891. Ian, you know I've been subbed to your channel for quite some time. However, can I just thank you (maybe) again for pronouncing Australian towns and cities like a proper Australian? One thing though. You can pronounce 'Australia' the way you do 'Ostralia', or you can also pronounce it, 'Ahstralia', Just a short 'ah' ...'Asrtralia'.
    2
  892. I really hope that the US pulls itself out of this media driven political and social hole. As for my opinion, I blame the demise of the US on lobbying by corporations and the overwhelming flood of influence by Rupert Murdoch personally and his iron fist control over his media empire.

  893. 2:20 I'll wild guess a suburb in Brisbane. Maybe Ferny Hills or close by. EDIT: 2:44. I'm wrong. They're NSW number plates.

  894. Dan coming out of the sand was the best part of this. Way cool.
    2
  895. I'm Australian and for as long as I can remember I've considered RM Williams clothing and boots overpriced. I still do. Great construction, but 500 is pretty steep for a limited budget. Yes, I appreciate that the boots are hand-made in Australia, but still. Geez, now I feel un-Australian.

  896. 00:44 That Valiant is the same colour as my old VE.

  897. Once upon a time, 'barefoot' shoes were those black, Chinese 'kung fu' shoes that you could buy for $2 Australian a pair.

  898. Ian, maybe don't open the cellophane on those 'Final Chapter' books...or open them and show us. Either or...that's a pretty special gift.
    2
  899. I see somewhat of a revolution happening in your country. I became interested in the US election process back in the Obama days. Then, when Trump announced that he was running, I dismissed it as a gimmick. I was a shocked as the majority of US voters were when Trump scraped in. I have faith that the majority of eligible US voters will actually vote this time and show Trump that his bullshit doesn't cut it with REAL Americans.

  900. 10:25 I spent nearly 2 weeks isolated after a cyclone without power, phone, or access to anywhere. Our access road was impassable due to downed trees, and of course, the power lines were taken down by the trees. I feel for Kalgoorlie people, especially when you consider it is a city, not some backwoods road where I lived. And it's a result of poor power supply reliability, not a natural disaster.
    2
  901. 14:15 Yes. Exactly. A train runs on a different path to road travel. The train and the scenery it passes is the adventure. It's not the destination. As a pseudo-hippy in the late 70s/early 80s, walking less-trodden paths was my thing. I wanted to see what couldn't be seen from the window of a car. Trains became a small but important part of that journeying, like sitting in a caboose at night, travelling from Cairns to Mareeba up the Kuranda range in Australia. The route is a major tourist attraction today but we saw little besides town lights far below on the coastal plains on our slow journey up the range. But it was a unique experience very few have had the pleasure of enjoying.
    2
  902. 13:00 I watched The Wall a few months back and there was a shot ofthe spotter showing the soles of his shoes. They were Merrells. The same soul as my Merrells. I guess, if you're walking for miles, then yeah.

  905. I knew an old Turkish bloke once who wouldn't buy fresh bread. He always asked the local baker to store a loaf or two for a few days for him. I've heard that a lot of old folk (like, older than me!) prefer to buy 'day old bread' from the bakery. Apparently healthy enzymes develop in the bread if it's allowed to stand for a day or so.

  907.  @tropicsalt.  True mate. But I'll need to move on soon. I'll miss my wild friends but hey, progress deems this last bit of rural land here will be subdivided into 62 housing units. I don't own it so I have no say in its future :(

  908.  @petethebastard  Nah, mate. Fighting. Two males competing over the big female that's lived here for years.
    2
  909.  @rasmuswi  True. I often wonder why people would camp in bear country or in Puma country. As you say, it's what you're used to. I've camped and lived near rivers full of crocodiles. The thing about crocs is they are often not seen. I've had to warn German tourists in a campervan not be swimming at the boat ramp near my old home. Yes, they were bathing at a boat ramp in a river that has at least 5 crocs over 3-metres and more smaller ones, and crocs were regularly seen around the ramp.

  910.  @prestonwestend1278  Ah, of course. That would be a good explanation.

  911.  @crunchytheclown9694  Dad worked on mobile drill rigs when I was a young fella. We travelled from the SA deserts to the Whitsundays drilling water bores and doing core tests for coal etc. I'm QLD born but have travelled around. However, I've lived or worked throughout most of Queensland except the Granite Belt and Gold Coast areas. I consider my spiritual country up around Cooktown and the coastal areas south east of there. Kuku Yalanji and gugu yimmithrr country.

  913. @IMissMyScrotum Yep. One of these males has lived in and around this shed with a 3-metre female for 4 years that I'm aware. This new lad came in yesterday and tried his luck. At the end, the interloper retreated with the victor riding its back like a jockey! I'll post the full edit as soon as possible.
    2
  914. As an old truckie from a past life, I was always aware of the fact when driving cab-over style trucks that my legs were at the very front of the truck. Any type of head-on crash and the driver of a cab-over truck, especially smaller body trucks are exposed to impact. And let's not talk about an incident that might cause the cab stay pins to fail, leading to the cab tipping forward in front of the truck. Case in point. That truck racing video Ian reacted to a few days ago.
    2
  915.  @annwithaplan9766  Manuka Honey has an interesting history. The name is from New Zealand and is Trademarked. Australia has Meluca Honey, another trademarked name. Both companies produce honey from bees that harvest from Melaleuca alternifolia. The shrub/tree is better known as 'Tea Tree' in Australia and is the plant that real Tea Tree oil is produced from. Honey sourced from M. alternifolia has been shown to have anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties. It also has several traits found in tea-tree oil such as antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. Raw honey from any source usually has some of those benefits, but not all.

  922. In respect to 'Swing-Wing' jets, Australia had a 37-year (1973-2010) love affair with the GD F-111C, known here as the 'Pig'. It was capable of Mach 2.5 Not too shabby for an aircraft developed in the 60s.
    2
  923. Merry Christmas iWrocker Fam! I can't help but think that in this internet/web world we live in, there has to be at least another one or two YouTubers sitting in their cars in that carpark reviewing CosMc's new foods. I delayed watching this...but after watching it, I kinda hope to see CosMc's over here. Critically speaking, I think this takeaway shop is offering a range of items similar to many other FF outlets, but in a convenient drive-thru scenario. I'd try the food, even though I haven't been to a Maccas in years.
    2
  924. I started following this lady some time back on Instagram, then discovered she has her own YouTube channel. She has a very special relationship with the birds in her garden and neighbourhood. The ones here will come down and feed near me but they don't hang around much. The dog is the main reason, even though she doesn't chase them. But other dogs do so they don't get too close. Yeah, I'd love to have this happening around here.
    2
  925. Crazy? No, far worse. They become effing idiots! I had an accident in my mid-twenties because my off-sider was chewing my ear and i wasn't watching. Distractions...

  926. Really poor journalism gang. These folk may have had something constructive to say if you hadn't kept confusing them. You've gotta go slow with these types.
    2
  927.  @Alberthoward3right9up  Well, yeah :)
    2
  928. @Jus Cals Yep. I've had the pleasure of either owning or regularly driving early models and others. Foresters, WRXes, and hatchbacks. I learned that Foresters will go most places a regular 4WD will go but you need to rev high and dump them because they just won't crawl up a hill. You need to give them some throttle. I am a bit of an idiot, so I've put Foresters in places that Foresters weren't designed to go...
    2
  929.  @Alberthoward3right9up  True that. I've driven a Sportswagon too. Great cars. Yeah, clearance and mud (and deep sand) are their Achilles heel. I pulled a camping trailer up a steep, rutted gravel hill that a Landcruiser with no extra weight struggled to climb. Difference was, that I had to keep the momentum and revs up. They tend not to 'walk' up rough hills like a low range cruiser will do.
    2
  930.  @Alberthoward3right9up  Hehe. Well, our 'camper' trailer was much the same. A 6x4 with all our camping crap in it LOL. I'm currently sorting out a 2005 V6 4.0l SOHC Ford Courier Cab. It's only a 2WD but is a hi-lift model with an 1800x1800 tray. I've rebuilt the motor and am starting on the back. Eventually, I'll mount a winch on the front so I can drag it through crappy country.
    2
  931.  @Alberthoward3right9up  Kia, Hyundai, and the other 'Asian' manufacturers have surpassed European and US manufacturers in quality and reliability in leaps and bounds. I would buy a new Mahindra 4WD (Indian-made) over any other 4WD on the market today. They have standard equipment (Eaton diff-locker, ladder frame chassis, 9-star safety rating etc) that you would expect to pay 90K for, for 38K Australian. I'm talking full bash bars and roo bar, winch, blah blah BLAH. And, the running gear is taken from the engineering of the tractors Mahindra is famous for...like, the biggest manufacturer of tractors worldwide. I was a long-time Landcruiser devotee, but the new Mahindra makes them look like Tonka toys.
    2
  932.  @Alberthoward3right9up  It has the clearance in spades. I've driven a commondore (yes, I spelled it that way) with a 'country pack' up and down the Bloomfield track in the dry season, so yeah, I reckon this thing will be okay. I'm more worried about the fuel consumption. I've even replaced the regular clutch-type fan with an electric setup to try and save some tiny bit of fuel and gain some HP or torque.
    2
  933.  @Alberthoward3right9up  The standard on mine is a large, clutch assisted fan. I will pick up minimal savings with the swap out (twin fans...check my profile), but given the trouble I had with the clutch one, the electric worked out far less expensive and easier :). I got the fan assembly for free. All I had to do was modify the mounts and wire them up. I've made some really short, really amateur videos of the journey so far.

  934. That tree in the Daintree is a Strangler Fig. They start growing ina fork of a tree after a bird has passed the seed. As they grow, they send 'roots' down the outside of the host tree and eventually wrap around and strangle it. The now dead tree rots away leaving that latticework of what are now essentially multiple trunks of the Strangler Fig. The process takes many years and there are some spectacular examples in the forests. Do a search for the curtain fig, found up on the Atherton Tablelands. The one I've linked to is a little long but also takes you for a drive around some of the area before getting to the fig tree itself. https://youtu.be/akONYFvpWqI

  937.  @ThatWriterKevin  Ah, okay. Maybe that's where I saw it.

  938. Cool! I have an XZ Premium that is fine except for the charging port being a bit loose and having a dodgy pin. Which I guess is quite major because the cable has to be inserted, then very, very carefully moved around until all pins get contact before it will charge. Once in the optimal position, it has to be left in that spot lest the plug lose contact and stop charging. I have a replacement though. Not a Sony. My daughter bought me an OPPO A53s which is a very good phone considering the price. I was advised by a repairer here in Australia that it would be "very expensive" to repair it. However, knowing enough about phone dismantling to be dangerous to myself and others, as well as having a sometimes problematic curiosity, I think I might source a replacement charging port and have a crack at fixing it. The worst I can do is break it.

  939. Very cool boots!

  940. 11:20 I actually had a phone with Windows OS on it. Yes, a Windows phone. I got rid of it pretty quick though. It was, to put it mildly, atrocious. I barely worked as a phone...

  948. If you're going to bullshit, remember the bullshit you're telling. Like basics, man. "I don't know my phone number..." 15 minutes later, "that's not my number. My number is ..."

  960. I used to camp up at a National Park in Central Queensland and it was similar there. For many years goannas and kookaburras and other wildlife were fed by people. Anyway, I was up there one year and as you did back in the day, I decided to feed a goanna some raw sausage. I was squeezing he sausage meat out of the end of the sausage, being sure not to get my thumb in the way as the big lizard rose on its hind legs to grab the meat. I did this right up to the last bit of sausage. It was at the end of my thumb as I stretched my hand out towards the lizard. It was just then that I realised how stupid I was. I was pulling my hand back when the goanna grabbed at the sausage mince...and got my thumb. I had multiple razor-like cuts along my thumb. I was just intelligent enough to thoroughly wash the wound and apply disinfectant and antiseptic straight after. Yeah, those teeth are like tiny razor blades.

  965. Heads up. I smoke medicinally (cue the drug war puritan comments). And I drive (hello QLD Police monitoring these comments). In 30+ years, I've never had an accident and have passed three roadside drug tests (no, I won't tell you how). Having said that, I am quite happy to wear the consequences if I ever test positive. I refuse to lie in a feeble attempt to deny my transgressions. I smoke pot. That is all.
    2
  966. Oh, awesome! Thank you for this! Show us more, please! Heading down the shops tomorrow to get the stuff I need to make these. I have a dry fryer but I'll pan fry them I reckon.
    2
  967. Sorry for the timestamp and rambling stuff but man... 2:30 Yep, Ian. We had/have the 300/Cs and the Chargers. Had a drag racing acquaintance in a city I lived in who owned a tweaked 300C with the 5.7 litre. It was all Black and in Chrysler 300C terms, it was a sleeper. For context, he owned and ran a Top Fuel drag racing team with a full workshop. The car got the treatment. His car made me want a big 300C. I still want one 16-odd years later. 2:47 I'm commenting as I go, so there may be more further on, but that Pink Dodge reminds me of a '58(?) Plymouth Hardtop that someone offered to sell me for 700 bucks in 1977 when I was a young car nut of fourteen. It was a 318 with a push-button auto on the dash. Not inlet manifold and it had been sitting with no bonnet/hood for many years. Anyway, I raced home on my pushbike/dragster the five kilometres/3 miles home and proceeded to beg and plead with my dad to loan me the money. I raved and raved about the thing and he said no. I was gutted. 3:20 I had a Fawn '74, 245 Charger for a few months in 1983 before I near killed myself in it. That's way too long a tale to tell here...lolz 3:33 I bought one of these, a VG, for 300 bucks in 1993 from a bloke. I drove it home and started to work on it from front to back. I stripped out the flooring and it was pristine. In fact, from the front to the back of the rear quarter panels was pristine...the rear quarter panels had been stuffed with chicken wire and bog. The entire rear bottom 18 inches of the car was bog, wire and prayers under a so so paint job. He used to back it into the river with his boat trailer... 9:03 I love the Australian Ford coupes (XA/B/C) from that era but I too feel the Chargers had their own style that just said 'Muscle Car'. 9:23 I think that's a 'Chrysler by Chrysler', the luxury model that Chrysler/Valiant released over here in the 70s. I had one of these in 2004 that just needed paint and a new electric fuel pump before it was ready to roll. Worked 360, 727 Torqueflyte(?), LSD. Then someone decided to put a wallaby carcass in the back seat (we lived in the bush) to keep it from the dogs overnight and then forgot to tell anyone. I found it four weeks later...I sold the drivetrain for 1500 bucks on the condition that they took the entire vehicle away on purchase. I've had a few more Valiant/Chryslers but this comment may not even make it. It is a bit long.

  968.  @barath4545  Mate, I'd go outside to the barbecue to eat, keep plenty of beer in the cold room and invite mad friends to come socialise at the block. I don't mind the city but I need a bit of country to keep my head sane.

  970. Just sayin', all these scams were borne from the days of 'self-help' books like 'Think And Grow Rich', "How To Win Friends And Influence People', etc, etc. Amway et al live by the mantras the old scammers wrote about. These noobs today are just rebirthing these scams in the internet age. Sometimes I love being old enough to be one of the 'Once Bitten, Twice Shy' people.

  978. Folks, a few things you really need to know. We Aussies couldn't give a s**t about becoming a global superpower. All you need to keep in mind is don't give us a hard time. If you do, we will slap you upside the head. Have a beer and don't be a dickhead and we're all good.

  979. 6:55 I didn't notice the placement of the video side mirrors before this shot. That's clever. It would really suck if the cameras failed though.
    2
  980. I lived up North close to an aboriginal community, Wujal Wujal. The town's welcome signs said: "Wujal Wujal A place so nice, you say it twice". But in the local language (Kuku Yalanji) it means 'many falls' or 'lots of water'. The area has many magnificent waterfalls and beautiful creeks and rivers in the rainforest.
    2
  981. I saw the rise in solar usage here in Australia over the past forty-odd years. In the beginning, all solar systems fed a battery bank to supply 12 volts and an AC inverter. When I saw the push for solar setups to feed back into the grid 'and get paid for it', I thought that at some point in the future, power companies would find a way to reduce the price they pay, and eventually try to charge people to feed back into the grid. It's happening now here. The reduction in rebates. If I was to install solar power into a home, I would also install a battery system for overnight use.
    2
  982. Yeah, I call all of them utes. I've got a hi-lift Courier Crew cab with a tray back but to me, it's still a ute. If it can't carry 4 tonnes of freight at least, it's not really a truck over here. We do have trucks that carry 2-tonne, but they're just baby trucks or glorified utes.

  983. So, when this scammer blows his 300K, what's he going to do to make a quick buck next time?

  984. A class action against a car manufacturer because thieves are breaking the key barrel to steal the cars. Better sue the USB manufacturers, and the screwdriver manufacturers as well. I mean, you can't blame the thieves, right? They're just kids doing what kids do...

  985.  @nicholaslibertyrx5322  'They'...It's not 'they' mate. It's all of us. There are many, many more Australian-born people rorting the system than immigrants. I have worked and I've used welfare various times between the 70s and a few years back. Some claim honestly, some don't. 'They' have nothing to do with it. The system was designed to help those in need so that people didn't die from starvation or turn to crime to make ends meet. It's failed us on many levels.

However, given that there were two Fords in the workshop with the same issue, you'd think Ford would actually do something about it...but we are talking about vehicle manufacturers so I guess we can't expect that sort of miracle. Thankfully my old Ford crew cab has light truck rims and real wheel/lug nuts.

  992. Yep. I was a huge fan of Hubbard's scifi. Then I heard about Dianetics, and began to read that book. It was then that I surmised that L.Ron Hubbard was just a wee bit loopy. A few years later, after delving into the man's philosophies, I realised that he wasn't loopy. He was, through his newly founded church, a master con man who was exploiting the vulnerabilities of those looking for answers to life with some kind of expansive joke. Unfortunately, far too many people are looking for answers, and Hubbard created the perfect way to get rich off impressionable souls, by using 'religion'. In 1988 I had some free time in Sydney and was just wandering around. I happened upon some scientologists conducting 'surveys' and ended up in their headquarters undergoing one of those psychological tests. They, in my experience, would have been very succesful in bringing vulnerable people into their cult. I submitted to their conversion attempts because I was bored and had six hours to kill. They tried for 2 hours to pull me into the fold. Eventually I got tired of the fun and left, but not before I was told that I was dooming humanity if I didn't join them. Yep, it's a cult based on a social experiment that helped make L Ron Hubbard and his cohorts filthy rich...by following the same philosophy that religious groups use.

  1001. I had a mate in the mid-80s over here who had a fully imported Euro-spec RS2000 Escort. He'd made further mods, including a custom LED dashboard (he was an electronics geek), and had fat low-profile tyres before they were cool as well as competition suspension. He took me for a run one night and threw 180 handbrake turns at 100kmh, and drove it like a race ca around town for a while. It was an angry little beast of a 2-door. He went on a holiday and asked me to look after his pride and joy...and I did...until temptation got the better of me and I took it for a drive. Holy shitballs Batman! I flogged this thing. It was a magnet to the road and had no discernable body roll and was very quick. On the way home I took the t-junction corner at about 60kmh. It was slightly off-camber and I got a bit of understeer, hit the gutter, and destroyed one of his $250 rims. I got it home, changed out the spare, and left the busted rim in the boot. Of course, when he got home he inspected the car, saw that there were more miles on the odometer, and proceeded to go right over the car...and found the rim...yeah, he wasn't happy...

  1047. Hey Kai. Your experience could have been caused by a number of factors. The cannabis may have had a high THC level, leading to some strange stuff for novice smokers. THC is the compound that gets you 'high'. In some cases, high THC strains can cause you to feel an enhancement of your pain. I'd suggest that if the pot you smoked had a higher CBD level (a non-psychoactive component of cannabis), your 'trip' would not have occurred. Too much cannabis for just about any novice user can have unpredictable outcomes. I have smoked cannabis for around 38 years and have not had any negative side effects, other than the early days when getting used to how pot affected me. I had paranoia; the classic 'think you're doing 60mph and you're doing 20' feelings; I've even had nausea. However, all these side effects were experienced when I smoked more than I was used to, or smoked something far stronger than I was used to smoking. I'm not suggesting you continue to smoke. In fact, based on your early experience, I know that you will probably handle the next smoke a little better. However, I wouldn't advise you to smoke again. In respect to legalisation; an example of one possible side effect from smoking pot is what's termed, 'Pot Psychosis'. This phenomenon was observed in some people who were first time smokers, or first time strong pot smokers. Patients experienced seriously bad psychotic episodes after smoking pot. The current theory about pot psychosis is that people susceptible to these episodes have a defective gene pair that controls Dopamine flow in the brain. Theory has it that when THC attaches to the cannabinoid receptors on this defective gene, it cannot control Dopamine flow and therefore floods the brain. Health professionals estimate that maybe 2% of the population could be carrying the defective gene pair. Given that of that 2%, maybe 30% will try pot, the risk of suffering a psychotic episode is very slim for most of that 2%. When you consider that 32% of patients who have had pharmaceutical anti-depressants (Zoloft etc), have had suicidal thoughts while on the drugs, I'd say pot is comparatively harmless.

They were wearing white phosphor (not yet confirmed what type but general consensus says WP) night vision goggles, which would have narrowed their field of view and compressed depth of field. They were approaching the passenger aircraft at an angle that would not have allowed them to see the narrow beam of the landing lights on the aircraft. Please don't fan the conspiracy claims. There was no deliberate crash. Sometimes, I reckon Hollywood has brainwashed the populous.

  1063. 20:25 Go on, someone tell me that 'some' air force pilots in charge of insane machinery in a tense environment don't use some form of chemical stimulant. I read an article years ago that described how 747 pilots made around 120 eye movements a minute when flying. That is, looking at gauges, controls, and their environment, on average. An alert car driver does about 60. Now, imagine piloting an aircraft like an F-16 or similar. How does one maintain spatial awareness, and aircraft control in one of those without some assistance besides the HUDs and computers? I'm rambling but hey, these pilots see a lot more weird shit than commercial pilots do according to Johnny's expose (sorry can't accent the e). And there are a lot more commercial jets in the air at one time than any military force could muster.

  1065. I'll say it again, I like NASCAR. The dynamics of an oval track with an extremely powerful car at extreme speeds is a skill. NASCAR drivers have to deal with close racing and need to understand the effects of slipstream and side draft as well as stay on the very edge of traction while avoiding contact with all the other nutters around them. Once you understand it, the races are very exciting in their own, unique way.

I'm currently sinking all my very little spare cash into getting an old ute on the road. It will be completely self-contained in terms of power, water, and gas. Solar as well as generator back-up, 100 litres of water, a hot water gas system, and basically an onboard workshop that is comprehensive enough to carry some fairly major maintenance and repair jobs. I'll even be carrying a welder, and compressor, and if it will fit, a small oxy-acetylene kit. The plan is to be able to be in the middle of nowhere and not have to rely on help from others. Who knows, I may end up back over in WA (I lived at Glengarry for my primary school years from yr 3-7) and may even be able to go on an expidition with you to those 500km inland anomolies.

It looked hard for you to talk about the freeway steering incident because you had one of the things with you. 2: You are VERY protective of your family. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm going to assume that you and your partner take separate cars and one thing when going places purely because of the (forgive my bluntness) 'better to lose 2 than 4 in a crash. 3: EVERYONE who is eligible to have a driver license should be required to undertake advanced driver training before receiving a motor vehicle license. I am/was a professional truck driver and have taken a number of driver training courses because I've been involved in dangerous goods transport in the past. I too have been involved in vehicle incidents with family in the car, and I know that it was only through my training that we didn't get injured or killed in said incidents. Adam probably won't see this comment, but if he does, kudos, Adam. Your emotional response when telling your story really touched a feel-good nerve with me. Cheers, mate.

Sadly, there are also places where government housing is just not maintained by those responsible, so people get demoralised when they can't get running water issues fixed. It can be 12 months before a government-contracted plumber turns up. Anyway, I am going to sneak away and edit some more python in my home videos :)

Those buggers are nutters, and they can squirt formic(?) acid from their butts onto the spots where they bite you. They will jump on you en masse and just attack. I might also show how to make a 'lemon/citrus tea' from the ants and nests. Yeah, the bonus is you can eat green Tree Ants and get revenge for all the bites.

  1112. Edit: I'm toward the end but have to state, this assasination attempt did not surprise me. End edit. 8 minutes in, and I've come to the realisation that US governments and presidents must be hated by not only foreign enemies but also the citizens of the country they govern. EDIT: I'm now about 18 minutes in and this is one of the best analysis of this incident I've watched. Strangely for some, I'm an Australian living in Australia, but I've had a keen interest in US politics ever since that upset win by Trump back in 2016. Your politics are far more influential worldwide than they should be. Therefore, it's in my interest to know what's happening over your way...and of course Europe and the Middle East.

  1114. A similar incident happened at a place called Rungoo, in Queensland Australia in November 2008. However, it occurred on a highway crossing. The rail-line and the highway met at an angle and at the end of a long bend of the highway. Due to the forested country, trains, and the signal lights were not visible until you were almost upon the crossing. On this particular afternoon, a B-double was struck by a train, killing the two train drivers and injuring many on the train. The truck driver survived. As a result of this crash, the highway was realigned with an overpass to prevent any more tragedies.

  1120. 5:00 In the 70s, as a teenager, I used to go to a pool/billiards hall in 'The Valley' in Brisbane. it was in a basement...I always wondered how they got 20+ slate tables into the place...until years later when I realised there was a freight entrance behind the 'basement'. The land dropped steeply behind the building. Anyway, I always remember walking don the steps into the pool hall through a haze of smoke, then seeing clear air and all these huge tables...and signs everywhere stating 'NO SMOKING OVER THE TABLES' . And everyone obeyed that one rule. And god rest his soul anyone who left a smoke in their mouth while taking-a shot. Well, I always thought that if someone did, some mafioso-looking bloke would come out of the shadows, smash an 8-ball over the miscreants head and drag him up the stairs and out of that respected establishment. Man, that place had atmosphere.

  1125. In the early 80s I bought a Hanimex (Haminex?) SLR with a 'digital' exposure meter. It consisted of three tiny LEDs in the viewfinder. Correct exposure was a centre green light. Under or over had red lights. However, you could also do aperture preview by pressing a button so you could fine-tune your exposure. It was a brilliant little 35mm SLR. I took thousands of photos with that camera, even selling A2 posters of my work. I had no studio, but had a very good pharmacist who would ensure my film was looked after went sent off for processing (I used slide film exclusively for a long time). He'd also contact the enlargers to ensure they did the best job possible. Sadly, I have lost all my slides, all my negatives, and all of my father's slides that documented our life in the 60s and 70s. Natural disasters can wipe memories pretty fast.

  1156. 3:35 Do you folks have 'Windy Loos' in the US? They are composting public toilets that are set up in remote places where septic or sewerage is impractical, due to potential flooding etc. They are made with corrugated iron in an almost Fibonacci curve, or a Nautilus shell on its side. The design helps to reduce the footprint while maintaining privacy, as well as to catch breezes to keep the toilet ventilated. I've seen and used many 'Up North', and have them pronounced as 'Windy Loos' (like as in the wind), and 'Windy Loos' (like a winding path). They are cheap to construct and are very environmentally friendly.

  1161. I used to live in a 60 series Toyota Landcruiser wagon. It was an '83 model, completely stock in the drivetrain. 2H diesel, 5-speed manual. 60mph was it's top speed. On the flat. She was old and tired but would go just about anywhere I wanted to go. Loved that wagon. I'm currently refurbishing a hi-lift Ford Courier 2x4. It's got the Ford SOHC V6 4.0l. It's a crew cab with an 1800 mm (6' x 6') aluminium dropside tray. I'm fixing the back up to hold my genset, welder, tools etc, plus a 100 litre water tank, small hot water tank, stove etc. I'm building an elevating platform that will sit low over all the tools etc and can be raised to roof height. That will be my bed (yes, it will be covered). Eventually, I'll have racks over the body to hold a solar panel setup. Then I'll be living in it and tripping around the country permanently.

  1165. I had one of those mad chemistry sets for kids back in the late 60s and early 70s, as well as the electronics kits. My mate showed me how to make explosive gas using Condies crystals and some other chemical. In my late teens in the early 80s, when I lived in remote rainforest country in Australia, I learned about carbide lamps. I had a couple, and if I had tourist-type visitors in my camp, I'd load up one of the lamps so it would over-produce acetylene and make loud POPS when it was burning. And they were loud! Used to freak out the tourists.

  1166. Cadillac. We had a 70s vintage Cadillac hearse in the yard here for about 3 years. It had been here for some panel work but due to some serious health issues for the bloke working on it, work stopped and it sat in the paddock. It eventually got sold for the giant big block motor that was in it. However, before they took the thing away I grabbed a bunch of badges and lights off it. I might mount the emblem on my old Ford Courier when it's finished. That Caddy had truck tyres on it. Heaviest looking car I had ever seen. You could have built a house with the chassis rails.

  1173. I'm sorry but I can't watch these videos. It breaks my fragile heart to be reminded that only 10kms away at an RSPCA shelter/council pound there are hundreds of dogs living in limbo and I can't afford to rescue them. I have a dog (I've had a dog in my life for most of my 58 years), and of course, have my Bella girl (my best buddy) now. But given the funds and the land, I'd create a shelter myself to rescue dogs from certain death.

We lived on a beach for quite some time. Anyway, my 60 series Landcruiser wagon had the old 2H diesel and a snorkel. I put extensions on the axle breathers so that they were above wheel height It was a great old rig while it lasted. I bought it in around 2007(?) and put it to rest in a paddock up North in 2012. It has some stories to tell.

  1188.  @karlbobthepirate5704  Hey! I lived in Perth from around 71 to 75 when Duncraig was mostly bushland and there was no Northern freeway. Our house was in Glengarry, about 300 metres from where the reserve was for that future freeway. 7 Carlyle Crescent if you're a map geek like me. Parents paid 35k for the house and land package back then. I think it's worth over a million now. Mum and dad sold it for 120K four years after they had it built.

  1190.  @karlbobthepirate5704  I tried to find my old house for the first time about 5 years ago using Google maps just by scrolling around. I figured it would be easy enough to find...I had to search. There is a park across the road that used to be bushland and mum took photos of emus walking down the road. There was a track up the road that lead out through the bush and my mate and I once saw a mob of at least a hundred Kangaroos. That was between Duncraig and Sorrento. It was all bushland. Oh. That track is where Glengarry Drive runs now. North of us, where the Glengarry Primary school is or thereabouts, was a horse farm. They used to break horses the old fashioned way. Very cruel for a 10 year old to watch in hindsight. But hey, they let us hang around and watch. They bred quarterhorses I think.

Nowadays with scanning and tracking happening along the entire route, it's surprising that anything goes missing in transit. But it sill does...

  1226. I loathe the concept of HOAs. The ficus he's attached to is a very fast-growing 'weed' tree. 'Weed' tree meaning they will colonise damaged land, or in their native habitats, clearing caused by fallen trees. Once establiched, they expand their root system and create a dense shade cover that inhibits growth below them. I lived in a home with half a dozen of these planted close to the house. I hard pruned them back to stop leaf litter in the gutters. 18 months later they had grown back with an even thicker canopy. I love them, and I'd suggest he get more seedlings and plant them amongst the pretty hedges that the HOA shitbags love. Also, plant some more just above where they (probably) will remove this tree from. Find some fast-growing, invasive vines and plant heaps of them around. Personally, I feel HOAs should be illegal. W have similar organisations here in Australia that generally operate in apartment blocks or gated communities. That's fair to an extent to ensure people don't turn their yards into junkyards or balconies into laundry displays. However, to attempt to impose those controls on a neighbourhood, without following proper council procedures, as in operating as a dictatorship over an area, is wrong on so many levels. I've heard of HOAs demanding a resident change the colour of their car because it was detracting from the feel of the neighbourhood. Insanity.

  1231.  @WEJones144  So anyone working in a profession that puts you in the public eye should expect someone in the same industry to fake nude photos of you and tell others they are having sex with you? So, pretend you're a public streamer, and someone in the industry tells others that they are having sex with you, and he posts naked shots of someone and says that it is you, and you are sucking his &&&&. That would be fine and should be expected, yes? And you would just 'deal with it'? And remember, you don't even know who this person is, and you'd never met them. But it's okay because that's the industry? I don't understand your logic, man. The sort of behaviour that has occurred is not tolerated in any other industry other than possibly niche sectors of the porn industry.

The base model may make it in 3, but I doubt the top-end version will be seen for another 10 years. I haven't seen the prime mover anywhere near getting close to production.

  1251. You probably won't see this comment, but... I'm in my late 50s, an Aussie, and I've always vowed never to travel OS until I've explored all of my country. However, I've always thought that if I was ever to travel/journey overseas, Canada would be the place. You see, I'm a tropical boy. Cold weather makes me very uncomfortable and I reckon the only way to get used to cold would be to put myself in a place where it is ALWAYS cold by my conditioning. At the place where I call home when it gets below 24C, we start lighting our fires and wearing jumpers. It would be quite the experience for me to live in a place for a while where the temperatures rarely reach that.

  1271. I get a perverse joy watching people argue over this subject. I was born in the early 60s, so I grew up when Australia changed from Pounds to dollars and from inches to centimetres, and Fahrenheit to celsius. The currency change was a little early for me to remember though, but in respect to metric and imperial, I can swap between the two and generally convert most measurements in my head. As a result of this, I can say, based on life experience, that the metric system (for me) is a far more logical and less confusing system than old imperial measurements, whether they be British or US Imperial.

  1274. I shared this video. It's very enlightening. Back in the 80s or 90s, the then government tried to introduce a national ID card. It was met with mass protests. So they shelved that plan and changed laws to ensure our tax file number became our de facto national ID number. You didn't have to give your TFN to an employer, but if you didn't, your employer had to tax your pay at 45%. Anonymity in the 2000s is nigh on impossible, even if you go off-grid and 'grey'.

  1276. 3:37 There is also a marked (perhaps perceived) reduction in cavitation voids. So I'm assuming the oil and water are emulsified at the tip of the ultrasonic magic machine by way of the oil filling the voids of the water cavitation and then the water collapsing in on the voids and therefore absorbing the oil into its structure. I love water. It's such a trippy compound molecule.

  1292. The Whistlin' Diesel video...hang on, EVERYBODY in this comment section will know, so why am I say this...was a challenge/homage to the Top Gear video series. I have an early association with the Hilux and as such, never thought of them as a 'tough' ute. I worked in seismic oil search throughout Western Queensland in the late 70s-very early 80s and drove all manner of Toyota Landcruiser 4WDs; troopies, utes, wagons, and they were all tough vehicles. One of the survey crews came in with Hiluxes, which were kind of novel back then. Unfortunately, they were just too light for the conditions we were working in. We made our own tracks when the bulldozers couldn't due to terrain issues and the Hilux couldn't cope. They were woefully underpowered back then and were considered 'paddock utes', not serious 4WDs. We were driving the Landcruiser utes up insanely steep hillsides and through some disgustingly boggy wet country at times that the Hilux utes couldn't deal with. Nowadays it's a different story. The Hilux has grown up to be as good as its brother, and arguably a bit more sexy.

  1308. The last time I drove anything resembling a truck was a few years ago. They were auto with a manual shift option. The exhaust brake was controlled by a stalk switch on the column. Most big trucks are electronically sophisticated nowadays, and everything is push-button or automatic. The little truck I drove had the following 'driver safety' features: Proximity sensors Reversing camera Front traffic sensor with sensors that calculate speed, distance, and time to warn if you're too close to safely brake. Internal and external cameras linked to a central office The big jiggers have a lot more though.

  1309. In the late 80s I went through a bit of a phase. A neighbour gave me an old Russian SLR wirth a 200mm zoom lens in a case that was about 40cm long, and an early Praktica. I ended up going to garage sales and buying cheap, old cameras. I picked up one of these Olympus Pens for 5 bucks. A few years later I did some 'nightclub photos' work for a local photographer. He had a contract with a number of restaurants and nightclubs where I'd go in and offer free photos to patrons. They'd get a ticket for the photos I took and could go to his small studio to look at the photos and buy them if they chose a few days later. He used half-frame Olympus-Pen cameras to maximise his use of film stock. 36 frames becomes 72 photos. He had half a dozen of them laying around for when there were festivals or shows in town and he could employ more people to take pics. Usually, it was just him and me wandering around. He earned a great income from this lurk because it was pre-digital cameras, mobile phones, and pre-fast internet and social media. I think my old Praktica had a built-in solar light meter with a needle through the viewfinder to see the light level so you could adjust shutter speed and aperture.

  1313. As much as the raw, angry, "LET ME LOOSE!", screaming wasp sound of these 10K+ RPM machines is just absolutely awesome, I still love the lumpy 'thrump' of a big V8 with a lumpy cam that rocks the body of the car as it turns over. That deep 'thrump...thrump...thrump' is just wonderful. There is an FJ Holden in Brisbane (I've only seen it once) with some big jigger of a cammed-up V8 that sounds just ... mean. You know, the kind of engine that at idle, almost bunny-hops the car forward as it turns over. EDIT: Not a spam but if you want to get an idea of the sound I'm trying to describe, check this out. This is a detuned ex-drag car. Not as lumpy as I like, but pretty damned close: https://youtu.be/mR0w6SjUXGg

She had no idea of who Norman Gunston was. Her reactions were all genuine, and her first thought when she answered the door was that Australian journalists mustn't be very sophisticated. She honestly thought the tissue paper (to soak up blood from razor nicks) was legit and that he'd forgotten to remove them before the interview.

  1344. I'm probably repeating other comments, but yeah, we have some places with not so much border controls, but more quarantine controls. Some states have quarantine restrictions that prohibit carrying fruit over certain borders, for example, Western Australia, and we even have quarantine checkpoints through certain parts of a particular state. There is a checkpoint on the road up through cape york where certain fruits are banned from outside. Back in the day when Fruit Fly was an even bigger issue than it is now, you couldn't carry fruit into particular citrus growing regions. For many years, Queensland had quarantine controls on every border crossing, including so-called back roads. Nowadays, all the former Queensland fruit checkpoints are used to stop Gucci carrying Hipsters soiling our land, as witnessed in that documentary purporting to be a Toyota advert.

  1363. A lot of comments are discussing the problem of keeping wild animals in a domestic environment and blame a lack of 'nature' as the cause of this chimp's sudden change in nature. Perhaps it is more correct to suggest that the chimp had reached late teens/adulthood and as within the wild, this animal was attempting to assert its dominance and protective instincts over the rest of its family. The animal was (in my undereducated opinion) asserting dominance over its territory.

  1371. This comment is a year and a half late. But I use white vinegar to clean up cast iron pots and pans. I've also used it to remove rust/corrosion from carbon steel knives. I find that vinegar is gentle enough that if you forget about the job and leave it in vinegar for an extended period it doesn't adversely affect the cast iron.
    1
  1372.  @ProjectFarm  You're welcome. I recently restored a forgotten cast-iron 'camp oven' that had been sitting outside in the weather for 8 months half-filled with an old casserole/stew. Removing the almost welded lid revealed a slurry that looked and smelled like a septic tank. After hosing out the gunk I filled the 1-gallon pot with vinegar. I repeated the process four times, combined with some rotary wire-brush work to ensure all the gunge and rust was gone from it. The process took about 2 weeks, but eventually, I had it back to a useable pot. I've used it since then and it has no odour, no rust and (after seasoning of course) is 'non-stick' again.

  1382. Early 2000s. A 5 speed manual Nissan Micra hatch (3 door). I think they were a three cylinder? Spanish long gearbox. I drove it when doing special parts runs to mines in Central Queensland. The Micra would cruise at 160kmh at 5000rpm all day. I peaked it at 185kmh. 5th to 4th when passing a car that was doing the speed limit 100kmh). It was a brilliant little car.

  1388.  @matt3790  Too young? Hehe. With respect to data, you know of ice core testing and the other methods of determining past climate hey? I think that nowadays people are either too zombified by commercial TV and their 'reality' programs, as well as too apathetic and selfish to care about what expert scientists try to tell us. Anthropomorphic climate change has been predicted since before you or I were born young fella. If you take just a cursory look at climate data from before the industrial revolution to now, the exponential rise in average global temperatures is quite obvious. But hey, we may as well stick our heads in the sand and pretend it's not happening, pretend we know more than climatologists, and pretend that MSM opinion pieces carry more weight than actual scientific, peer-reviewed data.

  1389.  @benscrwbiutb9800  Yeah, mate. Because you know. Tell me one job or profession that doesn't expect to get paid (it's not 'payed') for their work.

  1392.  @UncannySense  Strange. I've read a number of articles and have seen a number of videos from scientific sources describing the weather events (Australia in particular) attributed in part to Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai. The Northern hemisphere snow 'bomb' as some outlets describe it in the US is not one of those events. Scientists are not highly paid, nor do the organisations they work with, or for, receive more than a shoestring budget compared to most other non-scientific groups. Not sure if you've noticed but the coal, gas, and oil industries are still making exorbitant profits while they continue to pollute the planet. Lobbyists for those industries are lining politicians' pockets. But yeah, scientists are lying about anthropomorphic climate change, and the politicians and industry moguls are telling you it is a fantasy. Follow the real money, not the false trail that industry schills lead you along.
    1
  1393.  @UncannySense  Acid rain was a thing caused by pollution acidifying rain. The hole in the Ozone layer was, and still is fact. However, due to governments actually listening to scientists, chlorofluorocarbons were phased out of aerosols and refrigerants, and after 20+ years, the thinning of the Ozone layer slowed down. Y2K was a fear that computer professionals had, not climate/environmental scientists. And I'm not sure what you're talking about "...ice age in the 70s...". Our global average temperatures, despite the harsh winters some parts of the planet are experiencing, is actually still rising. Local anomalies have minimal influence on a global scale. The US only occupies a tiny part of the planet. Do some study instead of listening to opinion pieces by people who profit from the fossil fuel industry.

  1395. Ian, based on recent years, I really fear the coming tornado season for folks in the US in that area. I also worry about the intensity of coming hurricanes and cyclones this season. The weather this year has so far been extreme all over the world. 40C in the Arctic! That is insane! 40C for weeks in Europe! Winter rains in Australia causing massive flooding when it is supposed to be dry. Wildfires planet-wide in the summer areas. Massive flooding in China and much of Asia. Climate Change is a given and people need to accept that and start adapting because if we don't, we'll all suffer. We lost our chance to reduce our pollution to help slow this, so we need to learn how to sleep in the bed we made.

  1415. I had a 13 plate 12-volt tractor battery (iirc 750 Cold Cranking Amps) in my Kombi years ago because it was a bitch to start on a hill or on cold mornings because of the 50 weight oil I used in it, and I had a pretty powerful stereo system in it that ate the 'standard' battery. I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure the Kombi had a 55 watt alternator so it wasn't wise to discharge the battery because even after a jump start, you'd have to drive for 50 odd kilometres to recharge the thing (electrical geeks can correct on that figure). As it was, I could drive out bush to a campsite and run lights and the stereo for most of the night and still have plenty of crank in the morning to get her going.

He would make double, or triple that amount in the time it took him to stop, bend over and pick up said dollar.

  1423.  @cross9137  I see your point. However, I can only relate this to how I would react if I heard that a celebrity was going to pay for peoples' groceries at my local supermarket. I live below the poverty line in my country but I wouldn't head down to the store and stock up on more food than I could eat in a year. I wouldn't even go. If I was doing a regular shop and got those groceries for free, that would be a bonus. But I wouldn't go out of my way to load up on groceries based on a rumour, or even a billboard lit with lasers announcing the fact. I might live on the bones of my arse, but I have a little pride.

There were Macks, Kenworths, Whites, Peterbilts and Fords. All the old classics. Just great fun to watch.

The Outback is my new daily driver/getaway project. I'm taking accessories off the ute to put on the Outback.

As much of the tumour was removed in an operation less than a week later. She began to improve. Sorry, not She. My most beautiful soulmate's name was Tina. Anyway, in early October, she began having seizures, so we returned to our hone town to be with her children. She passed away on the 20th October, just on 2 months after her diagnosis. Since then I have had the lowest of lows, the highest of highs, but still live with the grief of her loss. I am getting better, 14 years on. I think.

  1435. When I lived on a rural block (1800 acres) just North of a town/city in Australia, all the power lines in the area were three-phase (240 volt). The area was once mainly dairy farms but had changed to large cropping with circular boom sprinklers. Farms need a heavy-duty power supply and three-phase provides that. It's also arguably more dangerous than single phase but I wouldn't know. I'm not an electrician, just a local history buff. For the curious map nerds, here are the coordinates of the place I lived at for a while: -23.092590848466433, 150.3762654990398 Just paste that into Google maps and turn on the satellite layer.

  1465. 12:30 Yes, Ian. The cost of healthcare, and the availability of quality healthcare are the major factors affecting the longevity of a society. If you check the map, those countries with free, or near-free healthcare have the highest longevity, whereas places such as the US, where healthcare isn't free, have lower figures. Then, when we get to African nations, where in many places there is little to no proper healthcare (and there is conflict), the figures are even lower. Pretty eye-opening, really.

  1468. 10:55 It depends on the corrugations, the bulldust, and the weather. In my experience in the Peninsula Development Road (the road through to Cape York), in a Coaster 22-seat bus, the corrugations were 'smoothed out' at around 70km/h. However, it depends on what vehicles use the road as to how the corrugations form. Bulldust is a serious trap for young players. Bulldust (as fine as talc) can hide deep potholes or other dangers which can lead to shattered wheels, or worse, rollovers. I've seen more than one flash 4WD or trailer, on its side or roof on the road between Haan River and Coen.

  1475. I went looking for this video because I use a product by Nulon called 'Start ya Bastard!' which is basically Aerostart. It's 25% Ether (plus anti-knock additives) with a Dimethyl Ether propellant. I'm surprised I missed this video. I thought I'd been subbed and notified since before August. EDIT: In terms of a Diesel engine. I'd be wary of running pure starting fluid in one. I had an old 60 series LandCruiser (2H non-turbo diesel 6 cyl) with a few dead glow plugs that wouldn't start cold. Aerostart (in later years "Start Ya Bastard) was my go to. The extra compression in the diesel engine causes the combustion of the Ether. In fact, they warn NOT to use the glow plugs when using an Ether-based starter spray. In my case it didn't matter because most of my glow-plugs were stuffed. Either way, in my experience, spray start stuff causes a nasty initial knock in a diesel motor.

  1503. 5:23 Forgive me for going down this path but the first thing I thought was that the permission for false teeth by the husband law seems like a misogynistic law relating to the perceived benefits of fellatio without teeth.

Double demerit points apply for repeat offences committed within a 12-month period.' I agree.

  1533. 26:30 The coating on lamingtons is chocolate icing, not real chocolate. It makes it easier for the dessicated coconut to stick to the outside. The inside should be a light sponge cake. You bake an entire rectangular sponge cake then let it cool completely. Slice your sponge into large cubes, then dip into the chocolate icing, drain, and roll in dessicated coconut. Whack them in the fridge to set the icing and there ya go. Lamingtons.

  1534. Interesting results. I bought a pair of Wolverines a few years ago online for $72 Australian (54 USD). They're a different style of boot than those you tested though. Mine have a side zipper, steel caps, and a reinforced sole. They've worn very well over the past two years with minimal soul wear. Given that I do/did a lot of walking in my job, they've been comfortable, although a little heavy after a long day.

Oh, and if you think media and politicians telling lies is 'Freedom of Speech', then I'd suggest you would be the one who'd love to live in North Korea. Also, I think you completely misunderstand the term 'freedom of the press'. Perhaps you should hunt down the definition of said term.

  1537. Many, many years ago (the 1970s) my father came up with an idea to get cats out of our yard. He bought a rat trap, drove a nail from the bottom of the trap through the board so that about 2cm poked out the top. The idea was that when the cat went to eat the bait the trap would hit it on the nose, sending its jaw down onto the nail, piercing the cat's underjaw. It worked. He lost the cat trap. I'm assuming the cat went home and the cat owners got a gift of a rat trap from their cat. Our cat problem stopped.

I still love live streams because we get to interact from all places over the world and get to talk to you and your family from all over the planet. I'll see what I can do with the Patreon. I don't have much to spare and already spend about 20 a month through Patreon. As for the 'Aussie Shop' idea. Please, and I know you would, be authentic. That 'Bloomin' Onion' thing from that Aussie-style restaurant made me cringe in a huge way. We wouldn't eat that crap! We cook our onions on the BBQ until they're black and within an inch of their functional life. Then we slap them into a bun or over our steaks. Bloody Bloomin' Onion! What a load of Codswallop!

  1555. I enjoyed this. I think I mentioned my experience with a 'Slick-50' treated engine. Of course, the difference was that I didn't lose oil, I lost all the water in the cooling system (a '67 VE Valiant 225 Slant 6). The engine kept running at extreme temperature for about 8-10 km, the distance to home. Replaced the radiator and damaged panels and replaced the oil and filters and it ran fine. My experience wasn't scientific though because I used a particular custom oil blend designed for older engines.

Frankly, I was shocked when I heard that you folk have to pay to give birth and pay extra to actually hold your baby after it is born. Man, that's some seriously horrible stuff.

He may have survived, unfortunately, the hospital he was taken to had minimal protocols in place for snakebite and effectively killed him. Eastern Browns have a nasty reputation because they like the East coast, much like us humans do. Next, the thunderstorm asthma events. Caused by the storms whipping up dust and pollen and seed fragments from far away and that dust blew in ahead of the storms that hit Melbourne. We started getting fatter at around the same time KFC, Maccas, and HJ's became a thing here. Ugg boots were my go-to in Winter. Yep, someone claimed the name and sued the originators of the Ugg boot. A US company owns the Trade Mark now. Anyway, I'll shut up now.

It's the language of the place my heart calls home. I know a little, but I want to learn proper language. Yalanji country borders the gugu yimmithr lands where Captain Cook beached his ship when he holed it on the Great Barrier Reef in 1770. The word 'Kangaroo' comes from the gugu yimmithr language when the locals helped the inadvertent tourists to learn the animal's names. There are four dialects in that FNQ area. Kuku Yalanji is almost musical in its tones and spoken rhythm.

  1594. That's very interesting. I once had a 1967 Valiant (a Chrysler with 225 slant six). To set the story, the front bumper on these cars is a shallow 'V' shape and at the centre where the two halves meet at the back, it's tack welded together. I was in a rear ender and the bumper split and almost cut the radiator entirely in half. It was driveable, but with no way of cooling it and a 11KM (7 miles) drive to home. I had treated this engine with Slick-50 about 6 months prior and figured it would be a decent test of the manufacturer's claims. Well, I drove it all the way home. There must have been some water near the temperature sensor because it sat at boiling point all the way. It was damned hot! However, after I repaired it and did another oil and filter etc change the engine ran on with no drama for years. I am pretty sure if it had dumped its oil though, it would have seized pretty soon after I tried to drive it. The Wynn's company here in Australia used to tour around with a six cylinder engine that ran on its 'Friction Proofing' oil. The motor was set up on a stand running at around 2500RPM with no cooling system. They also had a pressure test set up to show the wear or lack thereof on a bearing when the friction proofing oil was used.

  1597.  @nicholasagnew2792  I'd suggest the commenter may have been thinking about drum brakes, and also cars that have no brake booster, what was once called 'Power Brakes', and once upon a time was an optional extra. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't that long ago that all cars had drum brakes. In fact, for many years, disc brakes were optional extras. So yeah, there are 'outdated' braking systems. In the days of drum brakes, you had to use your gearbox to assist in braking down mountain ranges because if you didn't, you'd lose your brakes through overheating before you reached the bottom of said mountain range or hill.

I'm an old fart by Internet standards and it appears to me that the people on the Interwebs that have falsely influential channels, and those starting new tech companies are in their 20s and 30s. It seems to me that many of these people don't realise there is history prior to Web 2, and with just a little bit of real research, they'd realise that in many cases, they think they've discovered something new, but they are flogging a dead horse that was impractical when first researched, and is still impractical today.

  1605. @C K I have no qualms about people defending themselves. But really? Having an automatic rifle with a 20-round magazine in your cupboard in the 'burbs? That's not home defense. And please, don't argue the 'less freedom' trope with me. You and I both know that while you have the laws you have, under the guise of 'freedom', every day some nutjob will shoot children in a school because people like assume that big guns give you bigger balls. You know the laws allow crazy people to shoot your children but you choose to ignore it.

  1606. Around the 1:25 mark either side, I nearly had a brain explosion. Calculating the blast pressure of an explosion by observing paper in the wind...That's some trippy stuff.

  1607.  @ben_1  True, Ben. Absolutely no criticism of his belief in a god, but a god didn't save him. And if we look at the bible and its teachings, the Christian god doesn't intervene in anything unless he's a bit angry, and then he/she smites people. BUT, he does give humans free will to do as they please and thankfully some of us became surgeons (if Christianity is your thing).

  1614. Spike Milligan was a legend. I am old enough to have been introduced to his earlier comedy, and had read his books in my early teens. In the late 70s, I auditioned for what was to be an environmentally focussed Kids TV series in Australia that was going to be hosted by Spike. I'm not sure if they made a pilot episode but I didn't get a part. I seem to recall the pilot being shown though. Any Aussies remember something like that in the late 70s?

  1615. ABBA had a great song about Crypto scams in the 70s...

  1616. Yep, I've had this odd disc number scheme on a double album. Buggered if I can remember which one. But hey, I have had four different record players from the 60s vintage through to the late 70s with record changers. Oh, and I'm an Aussie, we do stuff upside down LOL.

  1617. That has held up very well over 5 years. As you said, with a little maintenance it will last another 5 years easy.

  1618. Crikey, I've been waiting so long for this to continue. I was and always will be a plastic model car/plane geek. I used to buy kits and plastic sheets and putty and etc and then modify the models. You know, chop tops or body lengthening, and blowers poking thru bonnets. I'm talking 1/25 scale, not big ones. I really enjoyed the intricacies of the process. Very cathartic.

  1619.  @psychedelicprawncrumpets9479  I was tending towards Perth due to the flat terrain and the sandy footpaths. Reminds me of Duncraig/Glengarry where I used to live. But for some reason, I changed my mind and leaned toward Adelaide.

  1621. This was a brilliant comparison. However, you have to give technology an award for being able to put the power and torque of a beast machine into a package that is quite civil when driving on your average road but can unleash itself to almost Group B pace when allowed.

  1624. There is probably minimal risk when the vessel is full. However, when the there is a small amount of fuel left in the container, a BLEVE is a real possibility. But then, given the size of the air inlet hole, you may end up with a mad flame-thrower.

  1627. Cane Toads nnext maybe. Worst environmental disaster we've experienced in terms of introduced animals. We have problems with other feral creatures, but Cane Toads are the worst. And the idiocy of their introduction is just incredible. One simple fact about Cane Toads is they can't climb and they were introduced to eat Cane Beetles. But Cane beetles eat the top of cane plants. They don't hang around on the ground.

  1628. I built custom systems for a while back in the late 90s/early 2K and would replace the boot screen with my company logo. I would sometimes change error messages with something a little more meaningful too. I loved playing in the back end (of computers...)

  1629. If you're going to withdraw a lot of cash from a bank or ATM, dress like someone no one wants to mess with. Or better yet, don't flash your cash when you leave the bank or ATM. Anyone outside the bank could be a potential opportunistic criminal, let alone organised 'Juggers'. And hey, if you've just picked up a pocket full of cash, keep it in a pocket on your person if you're going to get fuel on the way home. Oh, and if someone accosts you, scream like a damned Banshee! It may not help, but hopefully, someone will look in your direction and be able to describe the mugger.

  1632. Thank you thank you thank you. You just saved me some time and also confirmed my thoughts. I am planning on building a system similar to this and the batteries will be charged with a 160W solar panel. Running lights and a computer/monitor/speakers (maybe the van fridge) in a small caravan. I have most of the gear except the battery and inverter. I was going to go with a cheap deep cycle battery as you showed. However, I now know that is a baaad idea for a permanent solar charged battery system. Well, I kinda knew that, but you have confirmed my suspicions. I guess I'll spend the extra dollars and get a couple of fit for purpose batteries.

  1640. I hope you see this link, Ian. This video was produced in Wujal Wujal, telling the story of water on Country and how important it is.I know all the people in this video, and Norm Tayley, the teacher was the friend I used to share a house in the rainforest with. I worked at the school for a little while, assisting teachers with Infotech and helping the kids with their computers. I also drove the school bus for a while as well as shuttle buses to Cooktown. Anyway, here's the link. I hope you'll react to it. https://youtu.be/ZZXprABVaDQ This is a longer video (24 minutes) but well worth a look. https://youtu.be/6iP3FPHyclU

  1642. 21:15 I'm not a pilot but I have watched a plethora of your videos, and a plethora from a couple of other well-known commercial pilot channels. The maneuver you are describing had me thinking, yeah, bad move at idle at 100 feet. As I said, I'm no pilot, so I really don't know what I'm talking about.

  1648.  @allandriver2066  90% of Australian woodlands were lost to clear-felling. The land was either used for agriculture or grazing. I'm not talking about 90% of the entire continent, just the arable, potentially productive land. Then, with early farming methods of ploughing, or allowing cattle free access to creek banks, erosion started, and in some cases has completely destroyed former fertile country.

  1649. Really? What exactly are you debunking? It was a test on a test track with a bit of media pizzazz. How hard is that to comprehend? Mate, you must be super desperate for content.

  1650. +steppenwolf (I like your music ...) True. We can baton, but only with the soft-woods. Although I've never batoned over here. The timber in the main is pretty brittle and snaps easily, plus there's a heap of kindling/firestarter available on the ground. Our leaf litter is so full of volatile eucalypt oils that given a decent start, it'll burn when wet/damp.

  1651. I have an an in-car coffee percolator from the 60s that plugs into your cigarette lighter and has a frame so you can hang off your window. Yes, this is a 12 volt coffee maker that hangs off your window. In its original box. Never used. I'm commenting at the 16-second mark, so I'm hoping my contraption is featured in this.

  1652. I've seen the Big Prawn, Merino, and the whale. A couple missing are the Big Pineapple and the Big mango and the Big Banana. The Big Pineapple is big. It has a shop inside and a lookout up top. There were actually two Big Pineapples. One at Nambour and one at Gympie in Queensland. The Gympie one was demolished some years ago. Oh, and it is prononced 'Harvey' Bay. Cheers, mate.

  1656. Not sure if any experts have spoken but my limited knowledge of these bikes is they are stripped to be as light as possible, are geared for high torque as opposed to power, and are meticulously balanced to the rider. You noticed basically no regular placed fuel tank or seat. It's a highly specialised sport nowadays. Back in the 70s, the bikes weren't far from a standard dirt bike spec.

  1657. So, either TikTokers think they're in some giant 'in-joke', or TikTok has indeed devolved the intelligence of humans.
    1
  1658. This reminds me of something that some of my friends discussed some years ago. Social media would de-humanise society. If you think of real face to face communication in society as healthy brain cell synapses connections, and it gets attacked by a slow moving, but pervasive virus that slowly erodes and then reroutes intercell communication via a few narrow pathways with no connection. Eventually, both legs will try to step at once, or the hand might punch itself in the face because brain cell interaction ceases. Of course, it's somewhat ironic that I am watching this on a social media site.

  1659. G'day, mate. I bet you spend a lot of time reading comments! At the start of this video, watching the capabilities of these jump starters, I began to think that I should upgrade from my current jump starter. I have one of those oldish-school bulky starters with the lead acid battery hidden inside the plastic casing. It weighs about 12kg (26lb?), has a USB output, 2 12 volt cigarette-type outputs, 1900A cranking power, and can start anything from a 5 litre petrol to a 3.5 litre diesel. However, I've started higher-capacity diesels with it before. It will happily crank my 4.0l petrol motor multiple times before needing a recharge, which is usually overnight. I rely on this jump starter at the moment because my vehicle has a dead alternator and I can't afford to replace it just now. So, serendipitously, I have three 12-volt batteries of the same type and rating that I can swap out of my ute when they start to dip in voltage. If I get caught down the road I can use the jump starter to get me home. At the moment I also carry one of the spare batteries in the car because I don't want to kill the ones I have before I can get the cash to get new alternator. Anyway, after watching your tests, I reckon I'll just wait it out. My old jump starter works fine and the 300 bucks I could spend on a new, smaller, perhaps less robust starter could be better spent towards a new alternator...After all, my old faithful cost me over 200 Aussie Dollars.

  1670. 11:20 An ancient form of recycling. back in the 1800s when I was a boy... Back in the 60s and 70s, when I was a boy, these mats were quite common. The rich people had the coir mats, made from coconut husk. Sometimes they'd have 'Welcome' painted on the mat...which would be ruined if any commoner with actual dirty feet wiped them on the mat. And yes, the povvo door mats shown were made from recycled materials. Tyres, wire, and coloured electrical conduit sheaths for the pretty separators. And, they were hand made besides the tools used to cut the rubber etc.

  1672. I didn't watch your reaction when you posted this because I saw the race in 1995, and I've watched highlights over the years. However, on this Winter's day, while I'm making Pea and Ham soup, this video popped into my recommended feed. That win still gives me the feels whenever I watch it. Trivia: Back in the 90s, when Bathurst was on, I'd set up my BIG stereo speakers in the lounge room hooked up to the TV. I'd then set up a bean bag chair in between them, put an esky next to the bean bag and crank up the speakers. My family knew that Bathurst was the one day of the year that I controlled the TV and the lounge room. I was surrounded by V8 sound and the TV was BIG, and I was only 7 feet from the screen. It was awesome!

  1675.  @planetdisco4821  Completely off-topic but I had a Doberman many years ago. He was my best mate and glue by my side. He was an awesome dog. I could go into a shop and he'd just wait outside for me. He'd let babies climb all over him and he'd guard our home at night. Yeah, he was special.

  1676.  @planetdisco4821  Hehe. Yeah, sorry. I sometimes check profiles to see where people are from and saw yours. They are excellent. King used to tow me on my bicycle for exercise. I'd just have him on a lead and he knew not to cross in front of the bike. He'd also tow me to the pub for takeaways and I'd balance a carton of beer on the handlebars while he towed me home. I trusted him unconditionally, as did he, me.

I'm probably just judging others without actually looking but I've sampled enough, covering a myriad of subjects. You were genuine. Sorry. You are genuine. You are honest. Hang on a second. You're a bloody good bastard, that's what you are! And your family. I'll shut up now. I'm a few Coopers Sparkling Ales in...which reminds me, I'm supposed to send you some one day.

  1715. 11:20 YES! For example (and I think I've mentioned this before), I had a battery operated mono portable record player that I carried with me whenever I could (I was 12 years old) around 1975. I had Two 45 rpm records; 'Fox on the Run' (Burn on the Flame B-side) by The Sweet and 'Living in the Seventies' (You're a Broken Gin Bottle, Baby B-side) by Skyhooks that I'd carry with me. I'd sit on street corners, or between buildings that would echo and play my singles. I thought I was too cool for school. As I grew I became a bit of an Audiophile and ended up with collections of different amps and pre-amps and tuners and turntables and cassette decks...and speakers. Oh, the money I wasted on speakers... But I wasn't as addicted as a mate. He had an 8 or 16(?) track reel-to-reel deck and some Nakamichi (?) cassette deck worth 10s of thousands. I could have bought a car for the price of his speaker stack.

  1719. I'd suggest Pokimane is being very careful about identifying the alleged criminal. Similar to how Katherine Ryan opened up about the TV show "predator". It can lead to messy defamation suits, so she is probably stepping carefully. These scumbags will be exposed publicly, once the concrete proof is obtained.

When I came back to Brisbane, no mention was made of the Dutch in Australian history except for a little of Hartog but more the mutinies. It was as if QLD ed was trying to deny anything but Cook and the First Fleet.

  1723. The Exorcist. Possibly my favourite horror story of all time. Trivia: When 'Warriors' was released in the US in 1979, there were several theatres where violence broke out either during the screening or outside after the movie had been shown. Stabbings and gang fights...

  1725. I live in Australia and in 1983 I had a serious car crash requiring transfusions and many operations. Some years later (I think it was around 1988 or so)the health department recommended that all people who had received blood tranfusions should get tested for HIV. I tested negative. However, there were a lot of nervous people around waiting to get tested.

  1728. I've watched 2 of your recaps, Jordan and thank you. I egotistically consider myself a somewhat tolerant human/old fart. I listen to 4zzz. I'm Green (an old hippy) and I make sure I keep myself informed about what's going on around our planet. But I don't watch commercial television or any of the streaming services. Having watched your recaps, I just can't fathom why the fuck anyone could sit through half an hour (or is it an hour?) of this utter cringefest of what can only be loosely described as 'Reality TV'. I thought 'The Block' and 'MKR' were bad (yep, I've seen some commercial through morbid curiosity). But this? This is wrong on so many levels. Please, keep up the recaps because it helps reinforce my conviction to avoid mainstream commercial media if at all possible. And may the spirits of comedy continue to command your soul. The recaps are Gold.

  1753. 4:40 I doubt you'll see this but I really wanted to to tell you something that is similarly related to your sponsor. Back in the early 90s, when I was but a pup of about 30, I got sucked into the Amway 'networking' game. One of our 'uplines' worked in life insurance, and had access to electoral roles for business purposes. He would use them to cold call potential insurance customers (we're talking AMP here). But he also used them to target potential people in particular demographics to schill Amway at them. Obviously, this was before the Internet and mobile phones were commonplace. Going further back, I once worked for an agency that sold magazine ad space over the phone in the 70s. We would scour the Yellow Pages, the paper versions of course (1977/8). So, would have phone books for nearly every town and city in Australia that we could source, purely to cold-call potential clients. In the late 90s, I got into computer tech, and particularly computer security. I lived through the great takeover of the WWW by advertisers and marketing agencies, and the rise of Internet worms, copycat viruses etc etc. Yeah, in terms of data harvesting, nothing much has changed, except for the ease of, and speed of access to said data.

  1763. Fun trivia: Many years ago, there was an abattoir near the mouth of the Brisbane River in Queensland Australia. If you needed a feed, you'd go to the offal dump pipe that flowed straight into the river and catch sharks and other fish. Sharks help keep the ocean clean. They'll eat dead animals, rather than hunt live ones because it's more energy efficient. Not that the sharks know that. They're just generally lazy. Easy prey or dead stuff is the way they operate. Just look at the frenzies around whale carcasses in the ocean.

In the 70s, when I was going to high school, the local milk bar/smoke shop had room for one pinball machine, and our little gang used to hog it from 7:30am until almost 9am. Luckily, the school was a 2-minute walk. At first, they had some old thing, then they got the Kiss machine. And then came the Playboy machine. One morning I started playing (I think it was 20 cents for 3 games) and started getting free balls etc, and replays. At 10am I left, after having gotten to (if memory serves correct) 998975 or thereabouts. It clocked at a million. The sound when you scored a free ball is still in my head as clear as yesterday.

Anyway, about halfway through, ironically, just before you talked about the complexity naysayers, I was thinking, "man, there's a lot to break there...". So, luckily I didn't start madly commenting...I am from the old-school days when you could reach inside and engine, rip off the tappet covers and heads and rebuild it in a day. I look at mechanics as playing with a jigsaw puzzle and a 1970s engine is like a 250 piece puzzle, whereas this is your 2000 piece monster. However, your close-ups of the components showed the tight tolerances and almost artistic way the components work together. That, combined with that warranty, shows that Hyundai have faith in their engineering. And they went all mechanical. I've watched Hyundai grow from a manufacturer of mediocre, non-descript people movers to a company that produces state-of-the-art vehicles. I love the i Series Hyundais but my current dream car (besides some old-school pre-70s Valiant/Chrysler) is a Kia Stinger. They can outrun an SS Commodore. Yeah, I'm a tappet head...

  1811. I have fond memories of the Thunderdome. I saw the first Australian Truck Grand Prix down there after a 5-hour roadtrip (I believe it was 1988 as well). We got there about 7am and had pit passes, so got to check everything out. Sadly, the Calder Park complex had a meteoric rise to fame and a crash almost as spectacular. It was almost a Mecca for motorsport geeks for a while. As for Nascar, as a teenager I could never understand oval track racing for race cars. I liked our Aussie speedway, where we had dirt ovals and raced bikes and super-modified cars. It wasn't until I got older that I began to understand the dynamics of racing on a banked oval. The speed and aerodynamics of other cars make this sport a very complex one. I enjoy Nascar nowadays but don't see enough of it. I don't have TV as such, so don't get sports channels. That's why I like your content and other motorsport-related channels. I get my fix on YT.

Further, yes, I have spent a good part of my years in remote areas and communities. Interestingly, BLM and other matters rarely rate a mention in remote communities.

People become indoctrinated into the thought that 'If you work hard enough, you too can be like me' and we all know that is utter rubbish.

She just smiled and walked away. I was shocked. They certainly won't get my money any time soon...suck eggs, Lamborghini, Malvern Star got my cash...

  1858. I saw this thing on a Kickstarter or somewhere, then I saw the price and said, no thanks. My Nikon P1000 will do me for my astronomy interests. I'm glad I found your review of this unit as it confirmed my suspicions.

  1860. People who live in so-called 'civilised' towns and cities seem to live in a bubble. I've lived in quite a few different places around Australia my life, and the one thing I've learned is that the further you get away from densely populated places, the nicer people become. Honesty and integrity have more value than your salary, or how nice your motorcar or home is. People actually respect and support each other, and welcome strangers with openness. And all we/they expect is the same integrity in return.

  1861. I live on the northern outskirts of this city. I used to deliver to restaurants and convenience stores in the Valley at night. Interesting place. I know those streets almost like the back of my hand. I also used to hang out in the Valley when I was living here in the 70s.

  1862.  @jackphillips4305  It's okay diddums. I don't gamble my money on invisible scam-driven money-making schemes as you do. I can see by your comments that you're not far out of junior high, or your intelligence is a little behind those of your age, so I won't bully you. You have a good day now, son.

  1870. I was going to say, this episode was brilliant. However, I should say it piqued my 'Curiosity Stream'.

  1871. There is an Elephant in the room that many may have already commented on. Fierst off, I'm all for electric cars in terms of their individual use of power other than Hydrocarbons. However, in order to make these cars work, we need baseload power to charge. Currently (although hopefully not for too much longer) we use in the majority, coal-fired or Nuclear power stations to charge our environmentally friendly cars. What will eventually make electric cars truly good is the further development of solar systems and other 'alternative' power sources. The subject of energy generation is extremely complex and my comment doesn't cover any of the issues around coal v solar or the materials needed to make solar panels and systems, Electric cars are awesome, but remember, an average data centre (think Cloud storage) uses as much electricity as an average city, so the journey to be truly fossil-fuel-free will be a long one.

  1876. At about the 30 second mark he became the epitome of the beauty pageant girl who wasn't prepared when asked how she would tackle world peace... "Um, yeah, I think we need world peace because you know, we have world and peace is a thing we all need and that's a good thing because of world peace..." At about the 1 minute mark, all I heard was, "Look over there! It's a bunny rabbit!" By about the 1 minute 30 mark, Old Donny has completely forgotten the question he was asked and so falls back to his MAGA rambling.

  1877. Good thing I bought shares in Hydrox on Friday. I wasn't thinking about it, but some weird long haired guy in a trench coat whispered in my ear as I passed, "Hiiiighdroooooxxx...". I'm watching the share price rise as I watch this serendipitously timed video.

  1878. 14:25 Before I see where it is, I'm thinking far north Queensland. Maybe around Mossman? Or Tully. Okay, Ingham. Pretty close to Tully but a long way from Mossman.

  1879. 5:10 I have a 100cm screen to watch YouTube on. Yes, they are some BIG lips! We caught one at a river mouth about ten years ago up north. But it was a baby, only about a metre and a bit long, and with a mouth about 12 inches/30cm wide. I've got a crappy old night shot photo somewhere on my storage of it with someone's foot beside its mouth.

  1880. I was growing up when Don Chipp, the god of the Greens, promised to "...keep the bastards honest...". As a result, I voted for the Greens right up until Natashia got dumped. It was around then that the Party imploded and became one of those bastards. I am nearly 60, and I think I'm at the point where I want to register as a Conscientious Objector (again) and get myself removed from the Electoral Roll (again). There is no major political party in Australia that I could honestly trust. That's why I became a member of the 'Legalise Cannabis Party'. At the very least, if they get some influence in legislation, I may no longer be a victimless criminal.

  1899. I know someone will give me some stick, and I know it can be hard to pronounce, but it is nuclear, not nucular. As in 'newclear' or 'nueclear'. Love your content. I really enjoyed this one. Edit: later in the video you change the pronunciation.

  1903. 1:55 I am very wary of the little Blue-rings when I'm on a beach or rocky area on the coast. I've seen them in tiny rock pools at low tide. When they're agitated, the bright blue would be very attractive to an unsuspecting tourist or child. Funny thing about their venom is, potentially, if proper CPR could be provided to the envenomation victim for about 90 minutes, they might survive. The venom paralyses the victim, so breathing and heart-beat must be assisted while the venom is active. Having written that, I should say that very few people have died as a result of Blue-ringed Octopus bites/stings. Problem is, the bites can be painless and the first thing you know is that you are having trouble breathing. First aid is immobilisation of the limb and person, with a double compression bandage if possible. In summary, if you intend going outdoors in Australia, always carry a comprehensive creature-bite-related first Aid kit.

  1906. You get extremists in all gatherings of folks. From religions to music fans. There is definitely a minority of Juggalos that are violent f**ks. But then, there is a minority of the general population that are the same. Classifying ALL Juggalos as a 'gang' is a gross perversion of The Law. But then, in the State I live in Australia, we have 'anti-bikie' laws. Members of an 'Outlaw' motorcycle club are not allowed to wear colours, nor are members allowed to congregate in public in groups of more than three. Further, the laws have placed restrictions on what businesses MCC members are allowed to operate. eg, you can't own a tattoo parlour. You can't own a pub or club. It's fucking archaic. All because some biker a few years back decided to say in public "We run the Gold Coast". It hurt the politicians and especially the Police Minister's Ego.

  1908. Whatever happened to 3D pocket still cameras? Those weird, three (or was it two?) lens cameras? You'd end up with a wide print with two images and you'd view them through something like a Viewmaster. The idea came from the way 'stereo' aerial images were viewed for map-making.

  1920. 10:50 That statement struck a chord. I used to go to sleep, hoping that I didn't wake up. At that low point in my life, the only reason I didn't off myself was that my home (an old bus) was looking like a hermit's hut, and I didn't want my adult kids to see the state of the place when they came to collect my worldly possessions. Weird, huh?

  1921. As an Aussie, I was initially not worried about Raygun's performance. It was an Aussie thing. However, when she pulled out the solicitor thing, she became un Australian. Phuk her. She's not an Aussie. She's a bad human.

  1931. I enjoy watching these. I'm currently refurbishing a 2005 Ford Courier Crewcab 'hi-lift' 2x4 v6 SOHC 4.0l . As a mechanic, I know enough to be dangerous, as my diesel fitter/mechanic father used to tell me. Thankfully, I learned a bit through osmosis from him. I've replaced all the top end seals (not the heads or top sump), as in the cam covers and plenum, replaced the water pump, replaced the leaky thermostat housing with an aluminum/aluminium one, replaced all the cooling hoses etc, and I'm in the process of replacing the old clutch driven cooling fan with an electric one. Then it's tie-rod ends etc. I look at engines and cars like a jigsaw puzzle. Pull it apart and put it back together the reverse way. Hot tip for amateur mechanics like me, buy some ziplock baggies and a Nikko-type pen and bag and label your nuts and bolts. It'll save a lot of heartache when you're reassembling it weeks later. Oh, also, if you're going to home mechanic, expect to spend a LOT of money on tools. Buy decent quality tools, especially when it comes to torque wrenches.

  1933. I'm happy you found this. I knew you would. This car is tiny. I had no idea how small it was until I saw the driver in it with the door open. I WANT ONE NOW! I'd have to double-check, but I think this thing generates 2000kg (4400lbs) of downforce at start-up and standing still. That increases to 2250kg as it accelerates. Oh, they are planning on releasing a road-legal version. However, the designers and builders say this car is meant for racing, and the road car will have a 'street' setting that will need to be activated before driving on the road. I think that's the basic gist anyway. I'd have to reread the articles online that I fell into when I first saw this car. It is AMAZING! I have to wonder how this thing would go in the wet. It generates downforce using basically the same tech as a vacuum cleaner, so I think it would suck water off the surface of the road and into the fan, as it does with dust and dirt on the road. I did notice that they didn't (not that I saw) run it in the wet weather at Goodwood.

  1934. One could postulate that our reliance and exposure to electronics may dull our 'compass' awareness. I have noticed in my life that people who have minimal exposure to electronic devices/equipment appear to have a better location awareness than those of us who are constantly exposed to these things.

  1946. These types of issues with older vehicles are the reason I rebuilt my front end and rear (NO lift kit). I have an '05 Ford Courier crewcab RWD high lift V6. I bought it cheap and expected a few issues. The worst of everything was the drivers side (passenger for you folk) upper control arm. It was flopping about because the bushes had flogged out. All the ball joints were about buggered, as were the shocks. Now that I've nearly finished rebuilding it I know that it will be safe for long runs. I won't lift it. It already sits high enough and being only 5'7" I don't want to have to buy a step ladder to get into it.

  1948. You commented about the handling of the Monza. Yep, when you've got basically three feet of grip (a metre for you young folk) at the back end of your rear-wheel drive car, it's going to grip well. It's cases like that that you need to modify your suspension and frame to handle the extra grip. It's a balancing act and when you get it right, you're set.

  1951. As a relatively old fart who has played with cars for a few years, I've never found a need to 'upgrade' a brake system. I replace rotors and pads with the factory spec parts, and maybe upgrade the pads to a better wearing pad. I see the benefit of larger discs and caliper setups for extreme, regular braking as is the case with track cars, but yeah, on the street? I'd suggest it's a waste of good money. Buy better tyres and upgrade your suspension instead. We used to modify cars long before computer games, and the main promotional stuff we'd see in those days were adverts for bigger tyres and wheels, and improved suspension components. About the closest thing I recall in those days to upgrading brakes were slotted rotors and different compound pads. I won't talk about drum brakes, a common standard feature in older cars. Let's just thank the braking gods for giving us disc brakes.

  1956. Great story! G'day from Australia. When I was about 7 or 8-years-old, I phoned up a radio station to request a song. It was 'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool' by Donny Osmond. The Dj said, "So, do you like girls?" after he asked my age and heard my request... "Nup...I like footy!"

  1957. Stock footage is so disappointing. Great mini-doco about this tragedy. However, try something other than random stock footage. Even just a still of the actual site for a while would be fine.

  1958. I ran my customised version of XP for years, went to 7, and customised it to run the way I want, and a few years ago weakened and bought another box with 10 installed. I am always reluctant to go to the next version of Windows. 11 will be some time away for me. Confession: Nowadays I consider myself a mere 'user' because I only use the standard security options rather than modify the system for my wants.

  1961. Ian, search for a song called 'Beautiful People' by an Aussie band called 'Australian Crawl'. It kind of personifies places like the Gold Coast.

  1962. I used to watch 'undecided...' but I realised that there wasn't much research beyond reading the promotional blurb and doing a basic Google search. I can do that myself to make a decision. I have an Internet-connected computer just like 'Undecided...'

  1963. Do what Alexandria did. Get fuckloads of people to head out and talk to people personally. Rallys are great to preach to the converted, but you need to talk to those who aren't really interested in going out to vote. Knock on doors, go into bars. Go where the people are. Don't ask them to come to you!
    1
  1964. This brings back memories of my 35mm SLR days. I'd go through a 36 shot roll in the hope of getting a perfect shot of something like a water drop. Then I'd have to wait to get the film developed to see if I got a good one. I kinda miss that level of experimentation.

  1965. This was really interesting. On a side note, I had a mate in the 80s whose nickname was Frank Buck.

  1966. I realised how toxic social media and mainstream media that had specific agendas after the recent Referendum in Australia. I shut down my FB, Twitter, and other social media accounts. I watch some mainstream news via YouTube, but I am always skeptical of their motives, so ensure I watch a wide range of news from both sides of the fence to get some idea of the real picture. And I don't take any 'real footage' as the truth. We live in a world that is almost overrun with misinformation and fake stories, and I find that really sad as a nearly 60-year-old person.

  1971. I had a 'friend' leave a dead kangaroo in the back seat of a classic car I once owned and was restoring. Yes, the smell embedded itself into the vehicle. The only way to get rid of it was to remove all the seats, roof lining and any other fabric type parts of the vehicle. It was disgusting.

  1975. You may not see this as you get flooded with comments. However, I recently purchased a budget 3000 watt generator. It has a 208cc engine. Prior to running it, I drain the sump of the miniscule amount that is left after their original test run and drain. I have filled it with a Penrite brand (Australian) HPR-50 (40-70) wit 1500+ ppm Zinc. My reasoning is that I won't be running the genset often but when I do, it will have a good load on it. My 'enough to be dangerous' knowledge of oils is that this oil, with its zinc and other additives, will assist in keeping a protective coating on the components when not used, then, after a few gentle pulls on the crank, it will help coat the crank, etc at first start. Further, when under load, and being air-cooled, the heavier weight, especially in the tropics where I'll be, will cope far better with the expected high temperatures. Gensets are under a lot of temperature stresses when the ambient is anywhere from 28 to 36C. I was once derided for this choice, so would be interested in your opinion. I used to run straight 50-weight oil in a 1600cc Kombi engine and it loved it.

  1978. Oh man. You need to search for an All Blacks Rugby team Haka video and react to it. Or any Haka video. Definitely an intimidating welcome or challenge. New Zealand was part of what was called 'New South Wales', basically Australia, New Zealand, and I think Papua New Guinea. New Zealand became a separate colony in 1841. PNG gained independence from Australia in 1975.

  1991. 17 years ago I threw away about 20 copies of Windows NT4 something that were still in their respective shrinkwrap with the manuals etc. I was working at a university and because we were doing remote installs and local installs with ghost images, we didn't need them. After we updated to Win 2K we didn't need to keep the licenses in storage. I took them home and hung onto them for ages and eventually tossed them.

So I put my old address into the search thing on Google Maps. Holy shitballs Batman! My old home is basically part of Perth suburbia now. I did learn that the 4 bedroom, two bathroom, main bedroom ensuite walk-in -robe, lounge and family room, lowset home, and block of dirt that they paid 36000 for, are worth near on a million now. They sold the place four years after it was built for 120000, when we had to move back to Brisbane.

  2002. In respect to tape wobble and aberrations, at the 4:34 mark of 'The Great Gig in the Sky' on Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon', there is a sound aberration. I've been listening to this album since I was 10 years old (1973). I don't remember hearing it on vinyl, but I did hear it on cassette versions when I was around 13/14 years old. I have heard it on every anniversary CD edition as well. I've always wondered whether this was intentional, or whether it was a studio/tape error that was never noticed.

  2014.  @julzhunt7790  Julz, my parents bought a 1/4 acre house and land package at Glengarry estate (Duncraig) in 1969/1970 for $35000. Back then most of the surrounding area was bushland. No freeway. No shopping centres. I saw a mob of roos in the bush between Glengarry and Sorrento that numbered in the hundreds. Anyway, we went back to Brissie in about 1975 and the house sold for $120000. A few years back I heard that you couldn't buy a house in the neighbourhood for under a million. If you're curious, it was 7 Carlyle Crescent, Duncraig. We lived in Wembley Downs for a while before the house was finished.

  2019. In respect to liver pain, many many humans have grossly fatty livers and do not feel any pain. They may feel pain in other parts of their body due to reduced liver function and internal toxins, but they won't feel pain in the liver. A few years ago I was diagnosed with a fatty liver after some scans. You could say I'd force-fed myself as I'd gone from living a frugal yet healthy lifestyle in the bush to living in a city where food is easily available on near every street corner. I changed my eating habits and the fat is gone. Having said that, I think force-feeding animals to produce a 'delicacy' is wrong. But hey, I'm not a judge or lawmaker and I don't eat duck or goose, so my opinion isn't important or relevant.

  2040. 17:40 I lived and worked in country Queensland Australia in the 80s. Back then I used slide film most of the time, because, as you stated, it was cheaper. I'd buy my film and there would be a padded envelope for your film when you'd used it. You'd take that into your local chemist/pharmacy (drug store), and they would send it away to the Kodak lab in the city. A few weeks later, your processed slides would come back. The processing charge was included in the price of the film. Oh, I also had a pocket slide viewer and a slide projector to throw my prints up on a screen. After I'd looked at the slides, If there was an image worth spending 30 to 50 bucks on, I'd send it away to be enlarged into an A2-size poster print. Photography wasn't cheap so you had to be very judicious in your choice of photo. Sometimes you might shoot 24 - 36 shots and only get half a dozen decent photos.

  2065. Diesel has a minimum flash point of 52C (125F), whereas Gasoline/petrol has a minimum flash point of -43C (-45F). For the uninitiated (probably not many of you), the flash point of a potentially flammable liquid is the temperature where enough of the liquid can evaporate/vaporise to form a combustible mixture with air. Propane has a flash point of -104C (-155/6F). It would be interesting yet extremely dangerous I guess, to try and rig up a propane feed to the motor. I'd assume you would require a minuscule amount of propane to achieve ignition. Controlling that flow and preventing any blow-back would be the biggest hurdles do you think on that motor. I guess it would be possible to modify a motor car LPG system. Or have you tried propane already? You can tell I'm new here :)

  2066. Old mate catches a new pet. It's a great tourist stunt. You'll notice that not only is the mower not running, it is completely free of any oils or fuel, or any build-up of crud.

  2067. @declup There is anecdotal evidence, and some early scientific evidence, that recreational feral pig hunters have taken piglets alive when hunting to take back to areas closer to where they live and release them to breed. For some hunters, they may have to travel overnight to areas that have a feral pig population, so they have apparently, over the years, released young pigs in bushland where pigs were never recorded before, and now, years later, the pockets of populations are growing larger. And we won't talk about Australia introducing cane toads to protect sugar cane crops from a beetle that the cane toads couldn't reach to eat. That's not the 'Cobra Effect', but it has similarities.

They could well face life sentences for Treason here. So ge it. If it was my daughter I'd want her back here so I could kick her arse too, but that's purely hypothetical.

  2076. Back in the late 80s I got to do some contract work at the old Mt Morgan mine site in Queensland, Australia. In the 1900s it was the deepest open-pit mine in the world and held the record for the richest Gold mine for many years. It's an interesting place because many of the older buildings and settling tanks etc were still there back then, although long disused. We were actually demolishing the old crusher plant. Copper was also mined at Mt Morgan, and both Copper and gold were smelted on site. I believe many more of the older buildings and infrastructure has been demolished or buried due to the toxic chemicals creating a hazardous environment. Last I heard, a company had developed an economical method of extracting gold from the many thousands of tons of tailings on site. The open cut pit was abandoned many years ago and is now full of water. The hole was about a mile deep.

I feel I know where this will go but to ensure I don't say anything weird about it, I have lost many very close friends, and I believe (or used to years ago) that reincarnation was a standard thing that our souls did.

  2092. 2:00 I came into the Interweb in the latish 90s. It was on the cusp of 'free and open', and 'we can make money with this tech'. The rise of viruses, commercialism, and scammers. I held onto the 'free and open' ethos for years and eschewed the highly commercial towns in the web. It was also the time of the birth of voice recognition commercially, and 'AI' as an achievable reality.

  2094. 20:45 In the early 80s I lived a wandering hippy lifestyle. At one stage I lived in a remote part of North Queensland Australia in a bay with thousands of coconut palms. I was taught how to make 7-day coconut wine. You take a green coconut (or brown), pierce a hole in it, and add a few raisins or sultanas. Reseal the coconut with a stick to seal the hole you made and then leave it on the beach in full sun for seven days. I was told but never tested the warning that after 7 days, methanol begins to form instead of ethanol, so it becomes toxic. Have I tried coconut wine? Once, but not made that way. Maybe in ten years when I'm 70, I'll give it a go...

  2099. Prestigious? I'm being Mr Negative but I'd call it a rich man's cult. Yes, modern car tech is a result of the experimentation of F1 engines. However, the whole F1 scene is complex. It's a tax dodge. It's a tech company's dream contract. Rish, egotistic corporation CEOs will spend whatever it takes to put their name at the top of the F1 list. But they don't pay to race at a track. Gullible city councils who believe that F1 will draw huge crowds and their cash find out that it doesn't quite work that way. The councils and states pay to host a GP. In the end, it is just an exposure exercise because most cities/councils break even at best. Some local businesses profit but an equal amount lose money because their businesses become inaccessible at race time. Oh, dear. I am a Mr Grumpy this evening. Sorry for the rant.

Cattle leather will tear under stress. Of course, we're talking comparative thickness here too. Roo hide is a lot thinner than cattle hide. If you want something that suffers a lot of wear, like a saddle, I don't think roo skin would do the job. But I'm no expert. Maybe it could be laminated?

  2102. The beauty of the metric system is that it works well with our Western Base 10 system of numbering. The main reason why imperial measurements can be confusing or complicated is that it doesn't work well with a Base 10 math system.

  2103. This was a comment on a reply. Figured I'd post it as a comment: The research and pharmaceutical industries WILL, not might lose tens of billions in revenue if a cure for cancer is given trial status on humans. If merely one of the many scientific and non-scientific 'cures' prove true, the pharmaceutical and instrument supply companies and all the other associated 'cancer' industries will begin to fold. The economic impact on the cancer industry would be enormous. If an 'open source', free, make or grow at home cure for a variety of cancers was to become popular, the same result would happen for the Cancer Treatment Empire. Hence the perpetuated 'War on Drugs'.

  2120. The tower video I'd seen. The UFO, not. However, as soon as I saw it I knew it was a probably four-engined passenger jet with the vapour from the exhausts causing a colour variation. The helicopters? The most economical and safe way to transport large communications components up to the top of a steep mountain...or heli-logging... and the building, yeah, not an overnight construction job...

  2121. I very rarely answer my phone. Further, I have a message that tells callers that I don't answer private numbers or unknown numbers, and for those I know, I will answer when I can. Oh, and I also have at the start of the message, "If you're driving, Get off your phone!"

  2124. These phone scams have been around for a looong time. I remember playing with one years ago, until they realised I was leading them on and they hung up. It was the "you have a viruses on your combuter" scam. I learned a long time ago to hang up on callers claiming to be from an official department in Australia but had a strong Indian accent. And as the years went by, and mobile phones became 'essential', I adopted the policy of not answering private numbers, or unknown numbers, and of course, ignoring suspect messages or emails. It seems that as I get older (I'm 59) the messages and calls increase. Data mining companies have a lot to answer for.

  2125. I was wondering if it could be a UV protectant just before he offered that hypothesis. Many Scorpions have translucent bodies which would benefit from the protection in daylight. I was also wondering if when the light experiment was done, that the scorpions could sense/detect that light on the 'back' of their eyes. Like when you stick a torch in your mouth with your eyes closed and you turn the torch on.

  2126. Old, jaded fucks like me gave up on mainstream print media years ago. As for commercial TV. I can't remember the last time I watched it. Shit, I don't even Netflix, because I have Bittorrent. And politics? The collective noun for a group of politicians is a 'Corruption'.

  2141. We don't get Koalas 'up North'. When I moved down to the city I was living by a wildlife corridor and one night heard what I thought was a boar in the creek. I went out with my torch and couldn't find any sign of a pig. The next night it happened again and so out I went looking for the boar. Then it happened... It was coming from a tree...

I'll have stable , portable power by the end of next week for myself. I won't have to rely on mains anymore.

  2167. Over here in Ozland, we have a parts store called Supercheap Auto. They carry a myriad assortment of brands as well as some inhouse and exclusive brands. One such brand is ToolPRO. They're a mid-range brand. For example, you can get a set of sockets and spanners, hex keys, and torx bits with 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch drives for around 200 Aussie dollars. The bonus is, many of their products come with a lifetime, 3-year, or in the case of some equipment like industrial vacuums, one year. My half-inch torque wrench has a three year warranty, the ratchet drivers and sockets/spanners etc are lifetime.

  2168. In 1986 (or was it 83?) I bought a Fujica STX-1n SLR. It had three tiny LEDs for matching exposure. I still consider it one of my favourite cameras. EDIT: Hang on, no it wasn't. I can't remember the brand name now. I did get an STX 1n years later though. It was a gift.
