My neighbour still has the 1st Tesla S sold in Oz but its too big for her now. I thought about the new Y but hate Musk too much. Ordered an MG (loop hybrid <0.9L /100kms city cycle)
Love the Cupra's.

I thought people were pretty normal. Then I read the Twitter/X posts on Sam Kerr last week+.
Wow😱 Insane levels of batshit hatred, foaming @ the mouth misogyny.
Sam Kerr .."put yourself in a females shoes" Damn straight.

I shudder to think of the next 4 years, it will be exhausting. Happily I live in Oz but the Trump shock waves will probably reverberate around the planet for a generation.

Maybe unofficially a nod to 'Bondi' the great ocean beach (my fav) & marine biosphere? Perhaps a lifesavers red & yellow hat or patch?

Mine, the worlds longest startup. A pillar to decarbonise, depollute & deplastic (micro & nano). Hopefully at a profit.
Feb liftoff, stay tuned.

Soooo good. Asperger's, focused megalomania, ketamine, maga apartheid views & super wealth are not doing him any favours

Tsunami of State & private battery development & new models coming onto the market.
This week I sat in models from MG, Zeeker, Deepal, BYD giving massive bang for buck that Tesla does not.
Plus theres the Elon Musk issue.

A great Xmas tradition Maz! I saw 'Roaring Forty' yesterday at the dock. 2 airforce guys from Williamtown, only 2 on board. Strong NE now turning south ~4am tomorrow.
The leader is currently flying ~30knots / 55kph

Right back at you Brent & everyone. Magic day in Sydney, lazy lunch at the Cruising Yacht Club, checking out the fleet for the Sydney-Hobart blue water sailing race.
No wukkers (as we say)

Yes! Then exacerbate those decrease crop yields then stuff gets real.
Add disruptions in food chains >sovereign food/ water scarcity = hunger >uncontrolled migration> War
Climate change problems become exponential while food/ water decreases arithmetically. Malthusian.

"We are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change & the last generation that can do something about it"

This will leave a mark. Total contract 10y $200m.
$10m each p/a = ~$50k PER WORK DAY!
3 contracts = salary + % increase of revenue + sign-on in ARN shares.
Shrinking market, mkt cap, revenue & staff!!! ARN panic.

I also read somewhere that " we are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change but the last generation that can do something about it"

Not encouraging, but probably true after the unexplained (says NASA) heat extremes of '23 & '24. We better do something & now. I am.
Decarbonise, deplasticise, depollute, de-car. Electrify everything, sustainably.

In some ways injuries can be worse in many measures & in terms of costs, numbers & resources required they are. I studied this.
Much of this is solvable or at least can be greatly reduced but politically not palatable.

Derek is a genius. And yes walkable cities, communities & neighbourhoods are fab. I live in one in Sydney, Oz.

In the bad place the posts are OK but lots of the responses are just feral. I dont understand that.

Yes, but!
For example Tanya Plibersek's husband was a drug smugger & junkie. Totally reformed & fabulous resume.
Kennedy on the other hand is a impulse driven, conspiracy imbecile & attention whore.

Congratulations Tom. As long as your previous books 'Eve of Destruction' & 'No Use' dont figure into the next phase of the world.
What will be the basis of your next book?

3. Add in days over 35c in Siberia,
4. Boreal forest fires with associated smoke cover.
5. 2x + comparative rate of warming.
6. ....... Ad infinitum

Potentially its more noticeable in the Arctic too with things like;
1. Glacial runoff & retreat, fresh water mix with deeper & increased current descent, increased days of navigable passage,
2. Reduced albedo effect, permafrost thaw esp' with methane emissions.

An airstrike to destroy a chemical weapons warehouse seems sub optimal.

What an incel. Its hard to believe there are weirdo's like this, petty, self loathing, lying, hateful & misogynist . I had a similar 'friend' until I realised his toxicity :o(

Hi Yellow Dot crew, I appreciate your 'kick 'em in the nuts' approach.
I'm a decarbonisation & depollution start up. Please, please produce a short best (worst) of 2024 vid.
Cheers M.

To do what? Script in some 'WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING' cliff hanger, end of season, shock & awe for the 95% of the punters who have no insight into mil, SS, VIP/ close protection.
But yes Andrew, in retrospect I have to agree with you.

More nerve wracking was the 2020 series 'Zero, Zero, Zero'. Stunning, amazing, & so, so real, esp from an intel perspective.

Concur, 'The Diplomat' is pretty darn good. What happened & esp *WHY* it happened!!! And the running.....man that was something else.

Sadly the world is devolving into Tik Tok 5 second bites, a reality show. As Maximus says "Are you not entertained?"

The Tesla Chairperson is an Australian women. I often wondered if/how the board could/should reign him in more.
Too late for that now, at least for the the next 4 years.

A wild, unpredictable 4+ years ahead Mick. I hope the guardrails hold. Presuming there are guardrails remaining.
The tyranny of distance in the southern hemisphere may become an advantage.

So this is where all the cool kids are hanging out now 😄.
Hi Maz, I'd love to see you do a quick opinion post on contra rotating props in helo's & a/c's.
Counter I get, but contra!? Cavitation, noise, vibration, shockwave?
Cheers M.
