    Tiny new car valves

    Got a bit today. The other half's Model 3 Tesla has smaller tire valves. Tried to measure it when she said she had some issue trying to top up at a Servo- Not them telling her to remove the EV

    I grabbed my trusty D3 deflation tool and found it did not fit. Oddly as I ride bikes the valve stems on them are thin sods as well. My bike pump which has topped up my D3 post a sand drive in WA - that was a bit of hot air. Fits her car. Check the borrowed MG and it is the little skinny ones as well. I wonder if that is the new standard or just EVs? Trivial once known as a spacer to take up the different size hole for modern smaller valve stems was just ordered online as lock down here keeps me from the tire place for a chat about the little issue.

    I wonder if the JBS (global meat processors) hacking attack will affect supply too? Although they seem to be back online, here and in the USA.

    Its alive 24,000 Years Frozen in Siberian Permafrost

    every now and again I think that's OLD. Footing in Amsterdam designed for horses now supporting several tonne garbage trucks for example. Nature as usual makes any thing we do look short term.
    Hamelin pool in Shark Bay WA has some very cool stromatolites which are very very old.

    Now Siberia permafrost thaw has made a freaky one. Microscopic animals which were frozen when woolly mammoths walked the earth are back. Bet they might be a little hungry after not eating for 24,000 Years

    Hunter Valley you said? The Rat was probably ****ed.

    The Toymota Rat was possibly bored out of it's brain having to spend all night in a "New style" LR. Could have been worse I guess, it could have been a Beaver or even a Pterodactyl.


    At least someone will be happy, even if it is the LR Stealer.


    Then again, maybe the owner had lost his/her diary with all of next week's extra marital assignations in it. GOTTA FIND IT...GOTTA FIND IT GOTTA FIND IT"

    That'll teach the owners not to leave empty pizza trays under the seats.
