'Audi fuel research'?

Got any relevant definitions for use of ICE & BLDC?
"Internal Combustion Engine" & ?

That'll do it :) . I'm picking efficiency is still an issue, but the finance spokesperson for the greens was quoted today as saying that the earth was a closed energy system, which is so pathetically inaccurate as to be frightening. *sigh*

Energy is one thing that is for all practical purposes infinite, we just have to harness it. The only energy shortage we have is a finite supply of windfall fossil fuels

There's nothing wrong with internal combustion as a power source. liquid fuels are a highly efficient energy storage mechanism. The problem is teh fuel source. We're taking billions of years worth of carbon sink and releasing it into the atmosphere in an eyeblink.

We already have the technology to produce liquid fuels either from bio sources ( although there are issues with arable land use ) or Audi has been experimenting with  fuel directly from H2O + CO2 + energy. So build fucking big solar stations ( or nuclear) in the middle of deserts and build big arse refineries right next to them, then ship the resulting carbon neutral fuel into an existing infrastructure.

This all will happen eventually as fossil fuels deplete, but it would be simplicity itself to accelerate the process. Just use taxation as a method of giving carbon neutral liquid fuels a price advantage. the market will take care of the rest.

All that's missing is the will.

Nah, Relative to a BLDC, the ICE sucks in terms of engineering.

Yeah, the fuel source is key. If petrol had the same energy density as the latest batteries, the ICE would be dead in the water.

The huge advantage is that you don't have to make existing power sources obsolete, just change where you get your fuel from. As other technologies supplant internal combustion, that change can happen at it's own pace.

Check this out for a cheap entry level quad copter with rave reviews

Gonna buy me one to learn to fly. Then buy a bigger one, fit paint ball guns , and secretly hunt and shoot down growlers copter when he's piercing at the neighbours sunbathing

84-year-old hit with rates rise of $4725

A family are livid at a $4725 rates rise for their elderly mother and say it points to a fundamental problem with property rates.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11482297

Sure on the face of it, it sounds crazy.

But she lives 3000sqm section, valued at $5.6 million, in Mt Eden, by herself.

You could build 6 house in that same space, housing 24 people. No wonder we have a property shortage when we have these massive sections in the city with nothing on them.

There is no fundamental problem with property rates, it's fine. The family should sell the property, then they could buy a really nice house on a smaller section for their mum, and still have millions left over.

I would happily trade positions with them. I wouldn't be livid, I'd be ecstatic.


Agree completely. She is living in a huge asset that takes a great deal of space. She can easily access funds to pay the inevitable costs of such a large property. Her children will be benefitting enormously in the not too distant future. Maybe they could pay them for her.

Such cynicism. Unbridled joy until slow disillusionment then despair is the right way to go.

My girlfriends boobs no shit are bigger than my damn head. Next time i see her we will take a pic she loves to flash em


To be honest we really need a side by side comparison. For the most accurate comparison, we need to see the size difference between your head and each breast.

I feel that the most scientifically accurate comparison would require a position like this:




Must have been fun searching for that image. Fairy, def pics or gtfo if you're going to be making claims like that.

My fave description ever was when Stephen Fry called boobs a " fulsome pair of funbags"

Do you guys realize how creepy you made this thread?

What's going on in your heads when you make posts like this?

It's  not funny, not clever, and not witty, tits just plain sleazy, so why do you bother

You're making Retardo seem like a normal person.
Do you realise how potato you made this thread?

Stop being entertaining. It won't let me give you more rep

Fallout 4 announced.

A+++ would fap again

I never finished FO3. Loved 1 and 2, but the vein felt tapped out on the third one

Good to know I used to have one of the best ones. Shame it didn't help :(

I miss the days of multiplayer spawn installs, and days when you got almost the full game as the free edition and then if you wanted it you bought it like Apogee software.

Then LANs had their time. great fun playing at home, 150+ ping, then you go to a LAN and the difference was so huge it was worth lugging all your gear.

Does this work?

I never played Duke Nukem, because I don't have time to play with myself.

Ready for action?
