  1. Interesting. I was thinking of bad man José.
  2. You could always let a Great White loose for a bit of excitement.
  3. The place looks more like an oil refinery. The Warburn winery, at Griffith in the state's south, was established in 1968 by the late Tony Sergi, a man known as the "don of dons", who police have said was instrumental in building the Calabrian mafia's Australian cell. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-11/sergi-family-sell-warburn-estate-winery-to-taliano-family/103304996
  4. That would place it in the middle of the shipping channel. https://www.charts.noaa.gov/PDFs/12281.pdf
  5. To avoid having pylons on the water you need to span about 1.6km. Cable-stayed bridges can span about 1km. Suspension bridges (think Golden Gate) can span over 2km.
  6. Is that the same as I am just going outside and may be some time
  7. While we still have the luxury of speculation, the following video makes some interesting points. The video is painful to watch, you'll see why if you do, so I'll summarize the mail points. Ships do have an emergency/auxiliary generator located in a separate compartment isolated from the engine room. Why? Because it powers the engine room fire fighting pumps. It also supplies electrical power for steering. The propeller of a ship turns in a clockwise direction when viewed from the rear of the ship looking forward. As well as driving the ship forward there is a "paddle wheel" effect which pulls the stern to starboard and thus the bow to port. When the ship is going astern the effect is reversed, the stern is pulled to port and the bow to starboard. In the video of the incident, second video, approximately 4 seconds after electrical power is restored following the first power outage thick black smoke is seen coming from the exhaust. Speculation from the first video is that the ship was put into full reverse which would swing the bow to starboard which is what videos of the incident show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEzDh4RwpaM (This video can't be embedded)
  8. You word sentence post. Nailed it!
  9. Make sure you make a list what you're not going to do.
  10. The Japanese do tempura fried ice cream. Perhaps he could do one of each.
  11. 1 cup plain flour 1⁄2 cup cornflour 1 pinch baking soda Just use a tempura batter mix. Flours with a high sugar content, potato starch, rice flour, tapioca flour, corn flour, give a crunchy batter rather than a chewy batter which a high gluten (wheat) flour gives. beer Or soda water. Either way the liquid should be as cold as possible. Prevents activating the gluten. More crunch, less chew. Don't work the batter too hard.
  12. British warship aka Prince of Wales. https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=4907907

  14. I do have a soft spot for fuking pommy kunts. I'm stunned by this Sam Kerr brouhaha. Why not just call plod a fuking pommy kunt like most Australians would.
  15. Anyone who walks with a spring in their step has their spring in the wrong place.
  16. 10 minute email address. Read all about it. https://10minutemail.com/ Basically an email address that lets you get the validation link, validate yourself and then it's gone.
