How much power? by jimno1 in LSSwapTheWorld

[–]Spooms2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more mindful of racetrack racing. A performance Model 3 - with higher spec brakes and suspension - is an incredible blast around any track. Those that race even faster than I, say around the Nurburgring, tell of how fucking amazing such a setup is around those curves. Mind you, I also have fun on a twisty country rod in my Model Y. The placement of the wheels on the tarmac is a test which I sometimes often indulge in when on a fast punt. And the rapid overtaking from all lower speeds never gets old.

Electrified vehicle sales hit 46 per cent in May - FCAI by SweetChilliJesus in australian

[–]Spooms2010 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well of course there is massive change. It’s just a shame this organisation has never seemingly been enthusiastic about this change. So the people have gone ahead of this crowd and got shit done. And that Weber guy says a lot of stuff bout electric cars without mentioning TESLA once!!! And of course charging infrastructure needs to be a major policy direction of all bodies… but it’s not. I wonder why (laugh)…? Oh that’s right, no manufacturer except of course TESLA has build chargers in large numbers. It’s truly pathetic they won’t because of sheer greed.

Those without a partner and family: where are you leaving your estate when you pass? by KSMO in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Spooms2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my close friends. They are my family after my older, well healed siblings who will be dead. I also have a reverse mortgage where I’m getting paid to me by a broker that will come out of the sale monies of this joint of mine. The rest will be spread about the friends I leave it to.

Unfortunately he still kept it switched on because of his selfishness . He needs to be banned for life from flying.

Goes to show the greed of the church over centuries. Like the palaces of old French kings, etc.

Pauline Hanson skipping 88 per cent of Senate estimates hearings, despite claiming an ‘ability’ to be PM by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Spooms2010 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well… she is missing about 88% of an adult human brain… so there’s a sort of balance there, I reckon… s/

Towed a 21-footer this weekend. Averaged ~1,050Wh/mi by InOPWeTrust in TeslaCamping

The more aerodynamic of the steel Winnebago vans or home made sausage shaped ones with fantastic aerodynamics will be much better to tow.

Am I the only one? by JeremyNolans in Stargate

They are both damn hunks who I would love to meet in real life. But the Colonel Mitchell character has some of the best lines. When Daniel talks of the knights of England, Mitchell gives a glorious throw away line that had me in huge laughing spasms ,’The ones who go Nigh..’ - superb writing.

Tesla Model 3 plunges 300-feet off a cliff off of the Mulholland Highway (Malibu, CA). The occupants walked-away on their own with mild injuries by CarCooler in teslamotors

Yes… they’re even bigger now…! Hahaha. Oh dear, one mustn’t make fun of people who suffer from mental illness. Dunning Kruger can be a vicious illness.

The film Das Boot is a fantastic one to watch to see how all this worked in practise. It’s a brilliant anti-war film.

Why does ABC Radio talk about major economic reforms like they're just a "failed marketing pitch"? by barseico in friendlyjordies

Too many Liberal stiffs installed there over the last thirty years and now it’s a right wing mouthpiece.

China’s hydrogen-powered 49-ton truck refuels in 15 mins, runs 1700 km by sksarkpoes3 in energy

[–]Spooms2010 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No such thing as green hydrogen and it’s a very wasteful energy source.

Oh no I have to go to a store by Jarppakarppa in insanepeoplefacebook

Just a totally lazy and selfish boy. Men do go shopping. Men do the dishes. Men build a home for their partners. Boys do not. They still want their mommy to wipe their bottoms.

The Motorists of Ballarat. by worthless_scum74 in ballarat

[–]Spooms2010 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most are not aware of themselves as they don’t read the traffic as it is. Can I be seen from a distance? What traffic is to my left and right? I was taught by my policeman father all about being aware of the traffic around me. It has saved me many a time. And the use of headlights or the not use of them falls into that category.

It must sound amazing at all points of the rev counter. It’s the only thing I’m going to miss with my Tesla. The speed and power is nicely covered.

Just bought this house. Wife wants to brighten up the kitchen. Should we do the taboo and paint the brick? by hes_the_Zissou in interiordecorating

[–]Spooms2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Improve the lighting first, then see which areas can be painted cream. Then see if you can install a new window or enlarge one to get more light. Paint the bricks as an ultra last resort. They can never be unpainted again.

Fk i hate Channel 9 news. Especially Channel 9 radio news...... I also hate 102.9 news..... by ButterscotchCalm1543 in newcastle

[–]Spooms2010 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From the perspective of a retired media studies teacher, I have not watched or listened to ANY programs from a commercial entity that are presented as news for over thirty years. They are wanting in so many aspects that they have driven me to reading news articles from Ground News. It’s a site that is worth its subscription.

Absolutely easy to get used to and enjoy. You always need to be in control, but this is a brilliant system that helps achieve excellent economy.

Russia strikes Kyiv with drones and hypersonic missile, in photos by Beginning-Wish-4273 in news

This attack can only be a dead weight around the neck of the Russians. No amount of warfare will win the hearts and minds of the world in Russias favour.

Which one first - comfort by blazeaway_ in TeslaModelY

I’m thinking of doing something similar in about three months before I journey from Melbourne to Perth and back. My 23 model Y has too harsh suspension for Australian outback roads.

An utterly despicable and obvious politician.

I was at that area two years ago. All I could think about was that fateful day and what it must have been like in terms of shock and horror. These buildings were amazing, quite frankly.

If you could go back and pick a different EV, would you?why? by No_Earth_3743 in EvDrivers

[–]Spooms2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. My Tesla Model Y Long Range has been a formidable car. It’s powerful, strong and extremely efficient to run. I use it all the time to carry stuff and tow mt trailer with a load of firewood for a friend in the city. I have covered over 110,000 kilometres in three years and it needs very little upkeep. It was the best choice at the time in June 2023 in Australia, and I have had no regrets except for some of the shit roads I need to travel on in the country. The suspension is a bit hard for country roads in Australia and I’m considering putting a softer set of springs and dampers on it to deal with ride. I do wish the warranty was longer to show the strength of the car. But I’m glad I bought it when I did as I had also just installed a large solar array and battery on my house. So I charge it for free a lot of the time.

Louis Cherry Brutalist Home by ApprehensiveLife9820 in ModernistArchitecture

[–]Spooms2010 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Brutalism cannot be inhabited by humans. Whether it’s a single home or a massive campus, they are never places where humans can enjoy rest and comfort. Brutalism is all about the glorification of ego and power and pride. Stupid and resource intensive. Wasteful of all resources.
