    I agree, definitely the elephant in the room. Fingers crossed.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    black sat was 120km/h winds.

    not saying 50k isn bad, but not the same level as black sat.


    in other news, the SA-VIC power island has run out of power and is relying on imports.

    That reads as Vic is importing from NSW, TAS. and SA. SA is not importing as I read it. I will stand corrected.

    Large bushfires like black Saturday can generate their own winds, AKA firestorm. But I really hope you are right.

    Facts / Statistics - - Black saturday -
