Fringe for sure, as it is one of my favourite series. The deep authority of his voice made him a natural to play a leader.

Search for ‘ sylvanus bowser ‘ - inventor of the fuel dispensing pump. I don’t know why people still use the word here, but they do.

This is much more important and useful than the basketball, cool as that might be.

Thanks for the great images - in the world of big machines. it’s hard to beat the combination of Saturn V and the crawler. The sheer size of everything involved is amazing, and has been since I was a child.

No thanks. Too big NOT to fail, 2008 banks want their drive back. 

I’m not saying it would be better, but I would convert my 2015 Holden ute. You can’t buy a single-cab ute with a seven-foot tray in Australia, let alone an EV variant - because car-based vehicles with a tray aren’t a thing anymore.

Nope, sorry - it was made with such eye for detail it looks like it could have been made last week, and that tribute could likely not be made about any other film from the 60's. I think it is “slow” (your word) because that’s how travelling to Jupiter with only one person and an (eventually) homicidal computer to talk…

Yes, and your point is? Everyone interested in cars in Australia knows the Holden dominated sales for many years after its introduction. The Falcon was successful in relation to the rest of the non-Holden market, until it started to have equipment failures which required the re-engineering I mentioned.

“Steven Spielberg, who is probably the greatest movie director of all time”

The first Falcon was a relative failure in Australia, selling well at first until durability complaints meant later models had to be altered to suit Australian conditions. These changes led to it becoming a success for decades until Australian car manufacturing ceased in the 2010's.

Well, as someone who is an AHM (Medibank subsidiary) customer, I am certainly not happy about what has happened - who would be?  However, beyond changing passwords, enabling 2-factor and asking your financial institution to enable whatever safeguards they can, I’m not sure there is much more I can do except watch my…

Up until now, DW has been shown on the government funded ABC in Australia - and I mean only on the ABC, since it began showing here decades ago. That is done now with the Disney deal, so unless I decide to pay for it, no more Who for me. Oh well - that’s the way things are going now, hey.

Someone once said (forgive me, I can’t remember who) that the point of Hollywood was the inevitable creation of the heterosexual couple - see hamfisted insertion of romance into movies where it didn’t belong and wasn’t needed. If this is (still) true, they might have to expand their horizons in the current…

Le Mans.

The government-funded ABC currently has DW in Australia, but I guess that will be one less show I need to make time for if this happens.  At least I have the Karen Gillan years on Blu-Ray to watch instead.

Good. In a few years I might be in the market for an EV and this would have been something that might have put me off a VW. While they’re at it, add some more physical buttons on the dash for regularly used features and make the software reliable and I might be a customer.

They had allure?  

That’s great - I hope it happens here in Australia too

That would be okay if Sundar started Google - but he didn’t.  He’s obviously a smart guy, but this was a ridiculous statement by a man who benefited from those who did.
