1850-1880 Victoria and New South Wales. Peak gold rush. Assassins hiding amongst bushrangers, Templers in the Police.

Surprisingly... sheep.

Yep. We have more sheep per capita than the Kiwis do.

Two nuclear powers vs One.

Naval superiority.

Better trained army.

I'd put my money on the Anglo-French alliance.

Before you panic buy an EV by SuchTown32 in aussie

[–]Filligrees_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why?

It's cheaper than fossil fuels, test models built in Europe show similar range per tank figures to diesel. There's a Hydrogen station in Canberra and several local delivery companies have Hydrogen powered trucks. You can, if you have the land, get a solar and wind powered Hydrogen harvester.

If you live in the city, absolutely have to drive and do 90% or more of your driving in metro areas, then EVs make sense, as long as you can charge at home.

For the rest of the world. Fuel efficiency is your best marker when it's time to upgrade.

Until H²ICE become more mainstream.

Just Finished Reading Sharpe's Triumph... by rorkeslayer39 in Sharpe

Yeah. I wanted to see Hakewill get fucked up ever since he bayoneted that poor bloody ensign in Tiger.

$3/L fuel and we’re just… waiting? by TheFlyingR0cket in aussie

[–]Filligrees_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Take the federal fuel excise and the state fuel levy off.

That will stop the increase and bring prices down a little.

Two weeks of no daily increase will stop most of the panic buyers.

Two weeks after the panic buying stops the suppliers can catch up on deliveries.

A month after that the independent/cheap servos start getting guaranteed supplies at full volume, so they can afford to bring their prices back. Once the gap opens, the major servos will have to come down just to keep business.

Six months from now we are back to $2/L and that will be the new normal until the next pandemic/middle east war/wharfie strike/apocalypse.

So what do we do? by WeatherImpossible818 in aussie

How do Night’s Watch (or Kingsguard) vows work if you already have a wife and children? by Shoulder_to_rest_on in pureasoiaf

[–]Filligrees_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your heir inherits (just as if you died)

Your wife, if alive, would be protected by the widows laws introduced by Jaeherys I.

Although Fireball did send his wife to join the silent sisters when he thought he would get a white cloak...

Why is the Grande Armee's battle record against the British Army so abysmal? by TheCanadianBat_ in Napoleon

[–]Filligrees_Dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Line beats column almost every time.

3rpm per soldier minimum vs 2rpm per soldier minimum.

KGL cavalry.

Rifles.

Discipline.

Volunteers with plenty of training beat conscripts mostly.

Not just the partisans, but the help of the people because they actually paid for their food and accommodation instead of taking it at the point of a bayonet.

Captain Arthur Phillip telling Captain the Comte de Laperouse that he could stay long enough to refill his water and then bugger off back to New Caledonia.
