  1. another redskin! Chief Bezender was working as an indian tour guide on the navajo reservation He was taking some tourists around the plains when he suddenly put his ear to the ground. "Buffalo Come." he said. "Wow thats amazing, how can you tell?" said the tourists "Ground Sticky." -D
  2. he aint white, hes the original red man -D
  3. msy are the cheapest, their customer service and parts availability still sucks but they do have several branches for you to choose from. for what its worth i still order most of my stuff from pccasegear.com.au which is based in melbourne. -D
  4. insane clown posse yo -D
  5. sounds like a fun night, any idea who they were? -D
  6. why are you implying that people need to own a muscle car to be an enthusiast? last time I checked, age nor the car they drive has any bearing upon enthusiasm. Dumb comment. -D
  7. looks like a ute reversed into it... driver wouldnt have even felt it -D
  8. That should be covered by the policy. Its not like a new seal is optional when fitting a new windshield. -D
  9. Sign up to the RAA Plus for $115 and call them a week later saying your windshield is broken You'll get the windscreen for free (part of their policy, you get one per year) not to mention the 12 months worth of cover (including accomodation and towing) -D Edit looks like the free windscreen per year is only for the insurance arm - funny, I could have sworn they were a part of raa plus - looks like shannons offer the same thing without excess
  10. <snip> Couldnt agree more. The uninformed hysteria is ludicrous -D
  11. Made a mistake with the pricing for the teins Am after $800, not $500 for all 4, to suit r32 gtr -D
  12. thats why bogans are deserving of many dodgy tatts spell checker, beeeyatch -D
  13. Suits R32's only, but not nismo clusters -D
  14. Sadly most militant greenies would prefer it that way, and damn everyone elses freedom of choice. I'm an environmentalist, but I'm not one of the loonies who can't compromise. Fact is we need to reduce our carbon emissions and nuclear power is the single most effective way of doing that. Otherwise we'll keep burning fossil fuels (Gas, Coal, Wood) and making a big old mess of the place. Regarding proliferation, the thorium reactors are perfect for preventing proliferation, as there are always going to be trace elements of U232 and U233 in the reactor thanks to the thorium breeding fuel cycle. U232 can be enriched to U235 (weapons grade), U233 cannot, and its impossible to separate the two isotopes. Other breeder reactors produce U238 (depleted uranium) as a by product, which gets made into those lovely mini-gun bullets fired from A10 warthogs - and thats another ethical argument on its own (DU is bad for humans but really good for piercing reactive tank armor like chobam) -D
  15. Some good points there, however they failed to mention two of the more important reactor technologies; One is the self moderating pebble bed reactors, such as the one that is being developed in South Africa... The other is the thorium based reactor design, which India are being the first people to develop. Thorium waste byproducts have a half life of under 100 years, as opposed to uranium which has beta decay lasting for a few thousand years. Readers Digest are correct when they say we have 40% the world uranium reserves, but we also have 70% of the worlds thorium reserves. Regarding some of the contra arguments, 3 mile island and chernobyl were both 2nd generation reactors. Chernobyl itself is a graphite moderated pressurised water reactor which is one of the more common types, however it was flawed from the get go with a tendency to go supercritical (High Positive Void Co-efficient). Basically the water is there to absorb neutrons, however when pockets of steam are created, they create a 'void' as steam does not moderate neutrons due to the density being a tonne less (1/1350), which in turn raises the temperature and pressure of the coolant vessel, enough to make the reactor go critical within a fraction of a second. 3rd and 4th gen reactors are all immune to this design flaw. Most of the negative arguments regarding nuclear are based around the long term storage of fission material (not an issue with thorium waste) as well as the safety of the reactor. Soon as people pull the wool from their eyes and actually read about these technologies, they're still going to think nuclear power is the bogeyman (based upon a 1985 accident with a reactor using 1970's technology). Considering australia is a big continent with a lot of 'dead' space, its feasible to have nuclear generators located underground in isolated sections of the simpson desert and other places (perhaps maralinga). This way they'd be a harder target for terrorism, can use the integral cooling of the earths crust, and would prevent nuclear fallout if a criticality did occur underground. Too bad the aust greens won't wake up and smell the doo-doo. Solar and wind are great sources of energy but they just don't fill the demand of modern cities. -D
  16. ahh true, I was more inferring the diesel powerplants are inferior to a decent nuclear reactor i remember the collins beat the la's a few years ago when doing their war games in the shallows of the pacific ... caught the yanks by surprise -D
  17. mutton dressed as lamb is the only thing I can associate her name with -D
  18.

  19. doesnt your tattoo say "I like to eat the brains of newborn harp seals" ? that'd get the old ladies scared -D
  20. the woman would be amber petty right? her and fitzy deserve to be blasted into space on a 2 man prison vessel... in space no-one can hear fitzy scream -D
  21. Contrary to media reports, the collins are actually pretty decent diesel subs. They only run on batteries when submerged ;P Still, theyre a long way from a boomer like the typhoon or an attack sub like the Los Angeles class... time we went nuclear instead of diesel imho ;P -D
  22. So heres a sub to put inside your sub, so u can sub while u sub! -D
  23. yeah its pretty awesome. even comes with a mini sub -D
  24. Incase you hadn't seen one before. These things are awesome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_class_submarine If I had the money I'd buy one of these... but at $88 Million USD I think I'd have to sell the GTR which just aint gonna happen http://www.ussubmarines.com/submarines/phoenix_1000.php3 -D
