Living where I am now for four years I only noticed two years ago that a neighbor two doors down is a he/she. He walks past my place in the morning to catch the bus, all dressed up with the wig and females clothes, then on the weekend its shorts, tee shirt and wig off. Very strange at first seeing a dude, a bald one too, with breasts, not just man cans, augmented breasts, just casually walking around, and this is a family too, wife (female) and two grown up kids.
Maybe getting 2 centerlink payments.😂😂

@04OFF just made a reference in another thread to a ship called the Felicity Ace going down with a heap of vehicles on board. Rather than go astray on that particular thread I thought I'd comment here.
I didn't know exactly what he was talking about so I googled Felicity Ace and came across numerous news articles about the car-carrier catching fire out in the Atlantic en-route from Germany to USA, and eventually sinking 400km from Portugal where it was trying to reach a port after catching fire some days earlier.
The ABC report I read included this: "Suspicion on what started the fire on February 16 has fallen on lithium batteries used in electric vehicles, though authorities say they have no firm evidence about the cause."
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-...ntic/100876322
It wasn't so long ago Samsung tablets had their serious problems with exploding (I think) lithium batteries. So if there's now concerns about the safety of lithium vehicle batteries, would you sleep well with one parked in your garage?
Scary sh!t. Suppose over time this particular incident will be investigated and the actual cause revealed, but if it's the electric/hybrid car batteries being unstable then that's a real worry.
Recently also had a huge fire in a lithium battery bank being built on the outskirts of Geelong even before it was commissioned.
Is this sh!t stable enough to be considered safe?

Google why car lithium batteries fail when incorrectly charged. Scary crap indeed. I have seen some stories about Firefighters struggling for hours to put out crashed EVs. Imagine that on your property! Someone needs to design a system that injects a fluid into the batteries to neutralise them after a heavy impact.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

I believe a simple injection of MEATLOAF from the camp kitchen at site would be enough to stop anything!
